Meditation cushions — a comfortable base for steady practice
A good meditation cushion is one of the most helpful companions of a regular practice. It gives you a stable seat, lifts the hips above the line of the knees and lets the spine lengthen naturally. The shoulders soften, the breath becomes slower and deeper, and your attention can stay with the inner work instead of returning to numb legs or a tired lower back. Whether you sit for a few quiet minutes in the morning or follow a longer breathing practice, the right cushion supports you all the way through.
What you will find on this page
On this page you can choose from classic round meditation seats, crescent shaped cushions, long and rectangular bolsters and complete sets. The selection includes natural, undyed covers made of OCS certified organic cotton, hand embroidered and printed designs in warm or vibrant colours, and combinations inspired by the colours of the seven chakras. Bolsters are useful for longer sittings, as knee support or as a gentle rest for the ankles, and the sets pair a seat cushion with a supporting roll and a soft blanket so you have everything in one place.
Why choose our selection
We want to offer you cushions that truly serve the practice. The seats are made with a firm inner filling that keeps its shape over time, so they do not flatten after the first weeks of use. The covers are made from natural fabrics, mostly cotton, hemp weave or soft silk inspired textiles, and many of them are removable and washable, which makes long term care easier. We have built the range so that you can find a piece that fits your body, your style of practice and the atmosphere of your home, from quiet natural tones to warmer patterned designs.
How you can use these cushions
The classic round and gently shaped seats are made for sitting meditation, supporting easy cross legged, half lotus and Burmese postures. Crescent shaped cushions are lower at the front and higher at the back, which lets the thighs slope down and opens the hips. A long cylindrical bolster placed under the knees or around the ankles releases tension and gives reliable support during yoga, while a rectangular bolster is ideal for breathing exercises, restorative poses and gentle stretching. The complete sets help you keep every important piece for your practice in one calm corner of the room.
How you can choose for your own body
The height of the seat is the most important factor for you. If you are taller, or if the hips and thighs feel tight, a higher and slightly firmer cushion is usually a better choice, because it allows the knees to settle below the line of the hips. If you are shorter, or if your hips already open easily, a lower and softer shape can also feel comfortable. People who spend a lot of time on a chair often have a tight hip flexor, and for them a crescent shape or a taller round cushion can prevent the lower back from collapsing. Try sitting for a few minutes on several models; the right one keeps the back and shoulders relaxed even after the first ten minutes.
Care and lasting use
These cushions are made to stay with you for a long time. Removable covers are best washed on a gentle programme at a low temperature and dried flat, so the colour and the shape are preserved. Natural and organic cotton covers in particular need a soft wash, without bleach and without hot tumble drying. From time to time air out the inner filling and turn it over so that it keeps an even shape. If you store the cushion in a bright room, please protect coloured and embroidered pieces from strong direct sunlight. With this simple care you will have a comfortable, reliable seat for many years of daily practice.
