Zabuton Meditation Cushion (silk & wool)

• Lifts the hips to support the natural curve of the lumbar spine
• Reduces strain on the knees and ankles during longer sittings
• Covered in silk and wool — materials used in the asana tradition for over a century
• Maintains its shape and firmness through years of daily use

• Outer cover: Raw silk and virgin wool
• Inner fill: High-density support (varies by model)
• No synthetic blends or chemical treatments on the fabric

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.

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.
