Hugger Mugger Zafu Yoga Meditation Cushion

I am a 59 year old who has aches and pains from a sedentary job. This cushion is awesome for sitting on the floor after stretching sessions or to set on a chair to be raised up during puzzeling. I also use it to sit and think about the day ahead and to meditate. I bought a cheaper version and the buckwheat filling smooshed. Hugger Mugger is worth the extra money! So far it keeps its shape and I couldn’t be more satisfied.

Great quality!

I've been using this cushion for meditation for about a week now, with no problems or complaints whatsoever. Switched to this one from a much smaller cushion that I used for about the first 3 years of my practice, and I reeeeally wish I had switched sooner :) Being 49 years old, I get some aches and pains from a 30-minute session, and it seems much easier so far on the larger cushion. Very nice, rugged, quality product that I hope to be using for years to come.FYI they *did* ship me the right color :)

I was a bit leery about spending $40 on a cushion, but I needed one for my practice and I was tired of balling up pillows and blankets. I got my cushion earlier than expected (bonus) and it is very well made.Its woven cotton, which reminds me a bit of a canvas tote, but soft. There is a lot of buckwheat packed in there so I am sure I will need to take some out like other reviewers did and store it for when it breaks down later (just freeze it). There isn't an inner pocket storing the buckwheat, when you unzip it under the handle - BAM there it is so look out.It will collect a bit of dust and dog hair because of the material, if you don't have a wildly shedding dog this shouldn't be an issue though.This is very comfy to sit on. and makes you feel stable as well, It reminds me a bit of a stiff bean bag chair, but much smaller, better made, easier to get off from, and heavier. If you still need some support for your lower back, just prop it next to a wall, you will be fine.If you are looking for a good cushion for your yoga practice and for meditation, you cannot go wrong with this. I would spend the money again.

I chose this product after having used multiple different meditation cushions where I meditate, and found this one to be by far the most comfortable, particularly when sitting for long periods of time. The hidden zipper allows you to adjust the amount of fill, creating a customized height that is adjustable with changes in hip flexibility. While it is a good sized and not light, it can definitely be carried and transported if you move from room to room throughout a day of meditation. I wouldn't want to take it backpacking, but then I don't know of any meditation cushion that I would. Its size and buckwheat filling also allow for it to be comfortable in multiple seated positions, which I found vital when at an all day meditation workshop.I have now had this product for nearly three years, and use it twice daily. It holds up well to use and has not developed any problems. I still highly recommend this product and emphasize the ability to adjust the amount of fill by removing some using the hidden zipper. This is key to creating the perfect meditation cushion.
