We designed our Khadi Cotton Wedge Meditation Cushion with the help of meditation and posture experts, for the specific purpose of meditation. It is unequaled in support and comfort. When placed on a chair it will put you in the perfect upright position — ready for meditation.
Here is why this is the best wedge cushion for meditation:
- It is tapered at exactly the right angle to help roll the pelvis forward and help the spine straighten with its own natural curve.
- The cover is a removable pre-washed, hand loom form of cotton called Khadi* in India. It is very durable and can be used outdoors—perfect for taking it to the beach or a meadow for summertime outdoor meditations.
- A specific combination of high-density foam for support and and memory foam for comfort
- Removable coccyx (tailbone) section to relieve back and shoulder ache
- The cover can be removed and dry cleaned.
- 16" wide x 15" - to fit most any chair
- Thickness: 3.75" back / 1.75" front
- Made here in Southern California, supporting local businesses!
There's a big problem with chairs— they are not designed for meditation. It’s very difficult to have good posture on a chair. And chairs cannot be adjusted. But problems bring solutions! And the solution is a wedge cushion.
The wedge cushion fixes the backwards slope of chairs. This allows your pelvis to roll forward and create the natural curve of the lumbar, which results in an open chest, allowing for full and relaxed breathing and an ‘open heart’. Your back muscles can relax when the posture is correct.
*Khadi is a beautiful and durable cotton fabric that gained it’s popularity during the freedom movement of India. Inspired by the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, the people of India had renounced the machine woven cotton manufactured in England and started to produce local handwoven cotton. It was a part of the non- violent protest. That tradition is still alive and well in the Khadi handloom weaver’s guilds throughout India.
We also have this same cushion in a Silk & Wool cover.
