Meditation Cushion Sets

A set is a zafu and a zabuton that match, bought together for less than the two apart. The zafu lifts your hips; the zabuton pads your knees and ankles. Choose cotton or 17 oz hemp; both pair an organic-buckwheat-filled zafu with a hand-tufted zabuton, made in Chicago. If you're buying your first meditation cushion, this is the thing to buy.

What's in the set

One zafu, filled with organic buckwheat hulls, zippered so you can adjust the height. One zabuton, cotton batting hand-tufted so it stays even, with a removable cover. The two are cut from the same fabric so they match. Nothing else; you don't need anything else.

Knees that still won't settle, even with the zabuton under them, can rest on a pair of yoga bolster cushions — one under each thigh takes the strain out of a cross-legged sit.

Cotton or hemp

Cotton is soft, comes in more colors, and costs less. Hemp is 17 oz canvas that takes daily use for years, resists mildew, and softens with every wash. Buy cotton for a bedroom corner; buy hemp for a cushion that gets sat on every morning or shared in a studio. The full comparison goes deeper.

Sizing the set

Two configurations: the round zafu with the standard 24 x 24 x 2 zabuton, or the oval zafu with the large 32 x 26 x 3. Tall, or sit with your knees wide? Take the oval set. For a heart zafu or any other mix, buy the zafu and zabuton separately in whatever combination and color you like. The zafu arrives full; sit on it for a week, then take fill out if your knees float above your hips.

Knees that still hang in the air after that are a hip-flexibility thing rather than a cushion thing, and a pair of foam yoga blocks tucked under them holds the weight while you work on it.

For studios and gifts

Sets ship ready to give, and a matched pair is what studios order in quantity. Wholesale pricing is available; so is embroidery for a studio name or a gift.

Frequently asked questions

What is a meditation cushion set?

A zafu (the round cushion you sit on) and a zabuton (the flat mat under it), sold together. Some people call it a meditation pillow set; same thing.

Which set is best for daily practice?

The hemp set. The cover is the part that wears, and hemp wears slowest.

Can I choose the zafu shape or zabuton size in a set?

Two pairings: round zafu with the standard zabuton, or oval zafu with the large one. For a heart zafu or a different mix, buy the pieces separately.

Is a set cheaper than buying separately?

Yes. That's the reason it exists.
