Product Description

A traditional meditation cushion, the YogaAccessories™ Zafu is available as a round or crescent-shaped cushion with pleated sides. Each zafu has a sturdy handle sewn tightly on one side. The cushion raises the hips, making the entire range of cross-legged sitting positions more stable and comfortable.

The zafu originated in Japan, made popular in China, and used to be filled with cattail. Now they're stuffed with 100% natural cotton or buckwheat hulls. The filling is densely packed to provide a solid cushion, and yet is soft enough to be comfortable since the zafu is made with all natural fibers. The outer cover is made of your choice of luxurious silk or a sturdy 100% twill cotton. The zafus have a smaller zippered opening, neatly hidden between pleats, that can be used to remove the cover and wash it. You can also adjust the amount of stuffing in each zafu, thus changing the height and the firmness. Each zafu is 15'' in diameter and 6'' in height, and is available in a variety of colors. Zafus are typically used with a Zabuton cushion to provide comfort and support to assist you in your sitting practice.

It's a great zafu but a little expensive. It's easy to clean and it hides the zipper real well. Very firm pillow that neatly supports your spine and helps you with form.

5.0 out of 5 stars zafu, May 23, 2009

The purple was a bit more vibrant than I expected, but I like it. The zafu works well. It is fully stuffed with buckwheat hulls and comfortable. The zipper for the covering in on the underside of the cushion, so it isn't visible in everyday use.

The Zafu cushion has withstood 1 year of almost daily use. I can't sit on the couches so I watch TV in my lounge either sitting on it or using it as a pillow. It does not loose its shape. It continues to give you firm support without being hard. I have thrown it across the room (as I was too lazy to put it in its proper place), I have kicked it around when I was too lazy to bend down and it has shown no signs of wear and tear. Highly recommend it. Best thing for the back, because your back with no support means more muscular strenght
