A meditation seat built for long sittings — silk and wool outside, firm support within.

Color Copper Red Royal Blue

The seat for your most sacred hour.
For the devotee, few things matter more than the hour spent in meditation with the Guru — and on the floor, the right seat is what lets the body forget itself. The Crescent's tilt rolls the pelvis forward into the effortless upright posture the practice asks for, while pure raw dupioni silk over 100% Italian wool insulates the body from subtle earth currents. Sit longer, sit straighter, and let the mind turn inward. Not a comfort accessory — an instrument of practice, made to a standard worthy of the hour it serves.

Our Silk and Wool Crescent Meditation Cushion is one of our exclusive Supreme Swan meditation cushions. Designed by both meditation and posture experts specifically for meditation, it is unequaled for support and comfort. Our crescent cushion has just the right tilt to help you sit comfortably in the perfect upright position - ready for meditation. It can be placed either directly on the floor, or for extra comfort and vibrational insulation, on one of our Meditation Wool Asana Mats.

Here is why this is the best meditation crescent cushion:

Tapered at an angle that can provide comfort and support for your torso.
100% Italian wool on the bottom and pure raw dupioni silk on the top
Select combination of high-density and memory foam - support and comfort
Special coccyx / tail bone relief section
Removable cover
Carrying handle
Large enough to fit all body types
Measures 23 inches wide, 16 inches Long, and 6 inches Tall
Made here in Southern California by local and small businesses.

Pure raw dupioni silk on top and 100% Italian wool beneath: the silk and wool that Paramahansa Yogananda advised will help insulate the body from earth currents while meditating. Inside is the secret to the comfort - a carefully selected combination of high-density foam for support, and memory foam for comfort and body temperature control. The crescent cushion also includes a special design feature to relieve pressure on the coccyx, or tail bone as even slight pressure on the coccyx during longer periods of sitting can cause back and neck pains.

Unlike most cushions, the Supreme Swan Crescent Cushion will not lose its shape or need refilling after time.

Traditional Context

Paramahansa Yogananda specified in his lessons that the meditator should sit on a seat of wool and silk — materials understood in yogic tradition to insulate the body's pranic energy and resist the downward pull of earth currents. The cushion is not incidental to practice. It is where practice begins.

FAQ

What height cushion is right for me?
As a general guide — if your knees float above your hips when seated cross-legged, choose a higher cushion. If your hips tilt forward naturally, a lower or wedge style may suit better. Contact us if you are unsure.

Can I wash the cushion cover?
The silk and wool cover should be spot cleaned only. Do not machine wash. Remove the cover carefully and allow to air dry flat away from direct sunlight.

Is the cushion suitable for chair meditation?
The wedge cushion works well on a chair — placed under the sitting bones it encourages the same forward tilt of the pelvis that supports upright posture.

How long will it last?
With daily use and proper care, several years at minimum. The inner fill can be replaced if needed — contact us and we will assist.

The Making

A Lifetime Seat, Honestly Made

Raw dupioni silk. Pure 100% wool. Our meditation cushions, blankets, and asana mats are hand-sewn by Laura in San Diego and Neelam in Canada. These materials honor the instruction the Guru gave for the yogi’s seat.

The photograph and film shown here are from our archive: Laura at work in San Diego. Sourcing the dupioni silk, choosing pure wool, and sewing each piece takes time. The price reflects the materials and the hours it takes to make it well.

Comfortable, Beautiful, and Great for Posture

Great product! It’s very comfortable, and I love the electric blue colour. I’m already noticing that my posture feels much better, and my meditations are becoming deeper.

I’m giving it four stars only because I’m unsure about the fabric quality. I’m not sure whether it is meant to look this way or if it has been patched; I’ll upload a photo to show what I mean.

Even so, I still love it. Thank you!

Royal Blue

Very comfortable!

This cushion is the perfect height and firmness. I’ve tried many meditation cushions over the decades, and this one is the most comfortable floor sitting cushion.

The Best Meditation Cushion

I used to try other's meditation cushions at retreats. None stood out until this one. No sit bone pain period. 4 years and 1300 hours later, still great! One thing experience has shown, the seams shift away from the edges of the cushion over time. Take a few minutes and reset them when you see this. It will reduce strain on the delicate cloth.

Most comportable

I had been mediting about 35 years and have tried all types of meditation cushions. A monk asked me to try his and since then I've been using it daily. For me it's the most comfortable medition cushion I've ever used and I can spend hours on it without fatigue to my legs.
