What the singing bowl cushion is for
Playing a singing bowl requires a stable yet soft pad that does not muffle the vibration but prevents the bowl from sliding on the table. This small cushion does exactly that: with its 10.5 cm diameter, it is made for smaller, tabletop singing bowls, and the elasticity of the textile gives firm support. We offer you a quiet helper designed for everyday practice, one that does not draw attention to itself yet plays an important role.
The tribal design and the hand-finished construction
The cushion features a characteristic tribal design that evokes the soft geometric world of the Nepalese textile tradition. Each piece may slightly differ due to the hand cutting and sewing, so yours will be unique. The warm earthy colours fit well next to a wooden cabinet or a woven cloth, and they do not clash with the atmosphere of a more modern room either.
How to use it day to day
Place the cushion on a stable, level table and put the singing bowl on it with the rim facing up. The bowl settles gently into the centre of the cushion, so it does not move during playing. Whether you are giving a demonstration, using it in a therapeutic practice, or simply supporting your own evening routine, the cushion ensures that the singing bowl stays safely in place. If you are exploring singing bowls together with a child, the pad reduces the chance that the bowl falls off the table.
Material and finish
The cushion is woven from 80% cotton and 20% polyester, giving both a soft touch and durable form. Cotton makes the contact pleasant, while polyester helps the cushion not to flatten over time. The 10.5 cm diameter is specifically suited to smaller singing bowls; for larger bowls we recommend a cushion of a larger diameter. The whole package weighs only 11 grams, so it fits easily into a travel kit.
Care and lifespan
The cushion can be cleaned dry with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Do not put it in a washing machine, as the embroidered design and the hand sewing may be damaged. If something is spilt on it, blot it up immediately with a dry cloth. For longer storage, wrap it in paper and keep it in a dry, cool place; this way it will preserve its shape and the clarity of the design for years.
