MAYA LUMBINI Organic Zafu Meditation Cushion [S/M/L/XL Sizes] - Ultra Comfy Kapok Filling - Designed to Prevent & Relieve Back Pain

I wasn't happy with an artificial fiber pillow I purchased to practice zazen, it did not provide correct support when using proper sitting techniques. I tried searching for natural fillings, but many were seeds or other material that I was concerned would not feel right. Reading more about the original zen cushions, I learned that they were Kapok filled. And searching for that I found Maya Lumbini! And I'm so happy I did--it is easy to sit in the morning and evenings with this pillow, I'm not light (230 lbs), and it continues to support me and help me focus on just sitting rather than trying to get comfortable. If you want to just sit, I'd get it!

I cannot stop raving about my new Maya Lumbini meditation cushion! The first thing I noticed when I took it out of the box was how lightweight it was and how sturdy and beautiful the handle is. It is hands-down the most comfortable, sturdy & supportive Meditation Cushion I have ever sat on over 33 years of practice and sitting in innumerous meditation halls and centers (with different varieties of cushions). The cushion has an organic cover and is generously packed with Maya Kapok (hypoallergenic, anti mold and antibacterial). The cushion is soft yet firm (the first firm cushion I’ve found) which allows me to sit in half lotus without pain or discomfort in my knees! It is absolutely divine to meditate on. The cushion is maintaining its firmness - I sit daily once or twice a day (25-50 min at a time) and have owned the cushion for two weeks now. The round (Bodhi) meditation cushion comes in two sizes (the one in my photo is the medium size) and there is also a crescent shape. I think all meditation centers should use and carry Maya Lumbini cushions. I highly and very enthusiastically recommend the Maya Lumbini Bodhi cushion and their entire line! Thank you so much Maya Lumbini!! Elaine

Listen, this zafu and zabuton set are wonderful but I’d buy this set 100 more times because of the honesty and quality of the company.First, the product itself is outstanding. When they say “no back pain” they can stand by that. I have severe damage around my L5 and S1 vertebrae and deal with chronic, daily pain in my lower back. I didn’t think I’d be able to sit on this zafu for any length of time but I haven’t had any trouble sitting on this. If it wasn’t so difficult for me to get off the floor with my bad back I would use this zafu as my primary seat. It puts your spine in correct alignment and posture instantly.Additionally, the zabuton is great for preventing your ankles and knees from digging into the ground. My husband is 6’6 and he even fits on the zabuton just fine.Yes, my zabuton came with adhesive tape, which seemed like a poor choice. I was so unbothered by it that I bought a second set of zafu and zabuton for my husband.THE SELLER REACHED OUT TO ME and asked to confirm my shipping address because THEY found the tape unacceptable. They promptly sent me 2 brand new zabuton covers for free because that’s how much this company cares about their product and customer satisfaction. I genuinely could not be more impressed with their level of integrity and for that reason alone I would happily purchase from this company again!But also the zafu and zabuton are wonderful products so you should get them anyway.

The craftsmanship on this cushion is outstanding. I also bought the mat which I highly recommend. I used both on a 1-day retreat and was very comfortable. You can tell it was made with care and from someone knowledgeable about meditating while being mindful of our planet. The cushion is firm but comfortable and provides excellent support which yields great posture. The material is durable and easy to care for. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 stars is because I would like to be able to take off the cover to wash thoroughly. Otherwise, I am pleased with my purchase and highly recommend it.

The media could not be loaded. This brand carries some of the most supportive meditation pillows I've tried. I have been using them my whole pregnancy and I'm so impressed that they keep their form and shape. It never once has flattened out. I'm so happy with them. The round cushion is perfect for kids or anyone on the petite side. My daughters use it all the time with me and I love teaching them a bit of mindfulness on a cushion that's comfortable for them!

This is a great medit ation cushion, and does seem to help with lower back problems. i have not had it lon enough to comment on its durability. However, it looks to be well made.

I’m using it properly but it still isn’t comfortable at all. I think I’ll go back to buckwheat.

Very comfy, yet very sturdy! I was using just a yoga block for awhile (cut off circulation during longer sessions), and before that I used nothing.As my meditation practice continues to improve and evolve, though, I wanted something I could feel comfortable on and that encouraged good posture, so I went searching. I found this was a great balance of comfort and price. I’m likely going to buy the mat as well eventually - I’ve really enjoyed sitting near my bird feeder upstairs while I meditate, and that’s a hard wood floor, so with a mat it would be a lot more comfortable. I’d say if you can also buy the mat, do that, but just the cushion is a great place to start.
