Gaiam Zafu Yoga Meditation Cushion

It's a bit weighty but is really comfortable. I not only use for sitting on it while meditating but I use it as a head pillow while lying on my back when teaching my Yoga and Pilates classes.

This cushion is firm yet quite comfortable. It's a decent height too which helps take pressure off my knees and ankles. You can add or remove the filling material to suit your comfort level, I left mine full as I prefer the firmness it gives. I bought mine in the color teal which in reality isn't nearly as deep or bright as the pictures shown but it's still a nice shade. It's also nice that the cover is removeable for washing.

While this is a meditation pillow, it can be used for so much more! Initially purchased to go with the matching zafu I have, which sits beneath, and this is honestly one of the most comfortable things my husband and I have sat on. I use it for meditation, we both have used it to sit when we sit on the floor, works well as a foot rest or even a comfortable pillow. I have noticed them when I sit cross legged on this, compared to other things, I get less of my legs "falling asleep" when I sit for long periods. The outside cover/sheath is easily removable for washing, so it's not hard to keep it clean; also easily spot cleaned with a rag. Definitely a 10/10 product for comfort and multi-use.

I like this cushion but it doesn’t have a micro suede cover like the first one I bought. Its a cotton cover. The description should be updated.

Perfect to get my posture aligned and alleviate tenderness on my injured knee. Super comfortable and very sturdy.

Great Kundalini yoga cushion!

These are awesome. Very good quality and they look great. We have used them in our meditation group for 2 years. We have the blue, purple, and black. Very satisfied. They have a zipper that goes around the edge on one side to have access to add or subtract buckwheat shells. We’ve never seen any shells come out from sitting on them or tossing them around for storage.

It's just too big for me to sit comfortably might try a similar one but slightly smaller.

This was recommended to me to improve my meditation experience, it was extremely comfortable, love it!

This either came with a small hole in the bottom or developed it the day i sat on it because my wife spotted it that very night when I showed her my latest purchase. As it's bound to rip more, I ordered a replacement. Replacement arrived filthy and without a bag. Had a sticky stain someone had tried to scrape off. Returned that thing. I went back and inspected inspected further the original purchase: inside the outer cover there is an inner buckwheat-filled cushion which is thin but relatively sturdy fabric (not made to last forever, but adequate). So it's the decorative outer cover however that is garbage. The flimsiest of microfibers, weakly stitched. I thought-- maybe I can keep this after all. I contacted Gaiam to see if they could sell me a new cover or if I could purchase a replacement cover, but they don't make it/sell it. This cushion could have used a sturdy canvas cover, which would make it good for long term use. But now I have a plastic disposable item instead, with no replacement parts. You get what you pay for, as usual. Maybe as a Hail Mary I'll try to have a sturdier cover made for it by someone who can sew. At least that would salvage the insides instead of ending up in the trash. [ETA: I gave up on this notion] -- UPDATE - decided to skip the refurbish headaches and returned this thing after all. Ordered a Dharmacraft also from Amazon, per the recommendation of a reviewer here. That one costs double but it's *by far* the superior product: stronger cover, a firmer fill cushion, ethical company to boot, well worth the money.
