Why does the right meditation cushion matter more than you might think?

Anyone who meditates regularly knows the problem. The mind is ready, but the body speaks up. A tight back, legs going numb, a posture that can no longer be held after a few minutes. Meditation begins in the body. If the body cannot settle, neither can the mind. A good meditation cushion raises the pelvis slightly so the spine can straighten naturally. The knees sink, the hips open, and the posture can be held for a long time without effort.

Tibetan meditation cushions have a long tradition. Our cushions are handcrafted by Tibetan artisans in the Himalayas, often in cotton or brocade on the outside and filled with buckwheat husks or kapok. Because each cushion is made individually, fabric patterns and shades vary slightly. Buckwheat adapts to the shape of the body while providing a stable base. Kapok is lighter and softer.

The right height depends on your own flexibility and preferred sitting posture. For the lotus or half-lotus position we recommend a higher cushion; for kneeling, also known as seiza, a flatter, elongated cushion. If you are unsure, please do get in touch. We will advise you personally and help you find the right cushion for your practice.
