Product description

In the Japanese Zen tradition a zafu (meditation cushion) or wooden meditation stool and a zabuton (flat mat) define a meditation space wherever they are laid out. Blue Banyan makes its zafus here in the UK, conforming to the classic design but ensuring by the quality of production and finishing we require that the meditation cushion gives excellent comfort and support during even lengthy meditation.

The sleeve of the zafu is made out of heavy-gauge 100% cotton fabric. It is filled with organic Buckwheat, an agricultural product that moulds to the shape of your body as you rest on the zafu to give gentle and comfortable support. This quality of the filling is maintained over time as the organic Buckwheat does not compress with use.

Our zafu design features a hidden pleat to allow the user to make adjustments to the firmness of the cushion by removing or adding the filling. The zafu can be easily cleaned and maintained in its pristine condition by occasionally brushing it down using a stiff brush dipped in lukewarm water. The zafu has an integral carrying handle and is easily portable (approx 2 kg weight).

Zafus are traditionally paired with a zabuton or textile flat mat.

Customers like the firmness of the exercise block. They mention that it's comfortable but firm enough to perfectly follow their body, and holds their posture well. The buckwheat interior gives a much more stable sitting position than a usual cushion, which is important when sitting. The product will loosen up and get even better over time, and it reduces strain on joints.

"...The cushion is comfortable and well made. The perfect firmness and height" Read more

"...Good size, comfortable and little sagging. But enough about my bottom - the cushion is excellent too...." Read more

"...ideal height, even for someone getting on a bit, and consequently not too flexible - it is also comfortingly firm, yet comfortable. I love it!" Read more

"...Possibly slightly overfilled for me, but its easy to take filling out - although putting it back might be a challenge...." Read more

"Very nice cushion. A little hard but that's very much personal taste." Read more
