This comfortable and supportive Zafu meditation pillow provides better spine alignment and proper height for a more comfortable and deeper meditation.
The Zafu makes sitting meditation easier on the knees and ankles. The light weight, supportive Kapok Fiber are wrapped in a strong and untreated, unbleached, pure cotton twill zippered shell. The round Zafu cushion has a carrying handle. (Crescent shaped zafus do not have a handle but with their gentle curve are easier to carry than a round zafu.)
What is Kapok? --
Kapok is an all natural, unbleached filling derived from the seeds of the massive, tropical kapok tree. Kapok has a silky floss like texture, making it a great type of pillow filling. It provides the same type of soft cushion that some synthetic fillings provide, but in an all natural and environmentally friendly manner
Kapok or Buckwheat Hulls? -- Some users prefer Kapok for its easy to carry weight (approx 1/2 of the weight of Buckwheat Hulls), both fills offer a stable base. Some users feel Kapok offers a little softer sit, some feel Buckwheat Hulls provide a little more contoured fit.
These Zafu pillows are a supremely comfortable resting place from which to embark on the meditative travels of the mind/body.
Crescent Zafu (15"x71/2"x8" -- Buckwheat is approx 3.5 lbs and Kapok approx 2 lbs). Round Zafu (16" x 8" -- Buckwheat is approx 6 lbs and Kapok is approx 3 lbs).
