Which Zafu and Zabuton Set Is Best?
The best set is the one that supports your preferred sitting position comfortably. The zafu raises your hips, while the zabuton cushions contact with the floor.
What to compare
- Shape: compare the currently offered round, oval, and heart zafus for the seating surface you prefer.
- Height: choose a setup that lets you sit comfortably, then adjust accessible buckwheat fill in small amounts if the product permits it.
- Floor coverage: your knees and ankles should have room to rest on the zabuton.
- Fabric and care: compare the cover choices and the washing instructions for the specific set.
Current zafus use buckwheat fill. A cushion cannot make a painful posture suitable; adjust your position or consider a bench if kneeling feels better.
