Gaiam Zafu Meditation Cushion - Round Yoga Pillow With Easy-to-Carry Handle - Floor Pillow For Pressure Relief - Machine Washable Cover (Sold Individually Or With Zabuton Bundle)

This either came with a small hole in the bottom or developed it the day i sat on it because my wife spotted it that very night when I showed her my latest purchase.As it's bound to rip more, I ordered a replacement. Replacement arrived filthy and without a bag. Had a sticky stain someone had tried to scrape off. Returned that thing.I went back and inspected inspected further the original purchase: inside the outer cover there is an inner buckwheat-filled cushion which is thin but relatively sturdy fabric (not made to last forever, but adequate).So it's the decorative outer cover however that is garbage. The flimsiest of microfibers, weakly stitched.I thought-- maybe I can keep this after all. I contacted Gaiam to see if they could sell me a new cover or if I could purchase a replacement cover, but they don't make it/sell it.This cushion could have used a sturdy canvas cover, which would make it good for long term use. But now I have a plastic disposable item instead, with no replacement parts.You get what you pay for, as usual.Maybe as a Hail Mary I'll try to have a sturdier cover made for it by someone who can sew. At least that would salvage the insides instead of ending up in the trash. [ETA: I gave up on this notion]--UPDATE - decided to skip the refurbish headaches and returned this thing after all. Ordered a Dharmacraft also from Amazon, per the recommendation of a reviewer here. That one costs double but it's *by far* the superior product: stronger cover, a firmer fill cushion, ethical company to boot, well worth the money.

Its a little short for me, and gives me back pain when laid flat. Yoga has been helping with that, but for now I have to flip it on its side and sit on my knees rather than my preferred half lotus position. I also dont like the buckwheat hulls as they arent super comfortable to sit on. While they provide the ability to adjust to your body, there is too much leeway and I usually spend a few minutes adjusting it before I get to actual sitting. I realized I can put a fleece blanket over the top to make it more comfortable, and that has been making it better. I am good with it for now, but eventually if I keep up my practice I will move on to something better.

Does not look like the picture. Looks more like a bean bag ball. Have bought many of your products. This is the first time ive been disappointed. My cat likes out though so I kept it

After a week of daily use the outer cover bag stretched some, I'm 6' and 193#. Sitting in it was like a bean bag chair. So I bought this: Buckwheat Pillow Replacement Hulls: Zen Chi 100% Organic Premium Buckwheat Hulls - 2 Lb Refill Bagand ended up putting about 1/2 pound in to fill the cushion to where it's more flat than sinking where I sit. Works great now.

This cushion is firm yet quite comfortable. It's a decent height too which helps take pressure off my knees and ankles. You can add or remove the filling material to suit your comfort level, I left mine full as I prefer the firmness it gives. I bought mine in the color teal which in reality isn't nearly as deep or bright as the pictures shown but it's still a nice shade. It's also nice that the cover is removeable for washing.

I ordered this pillow as a pregnant lady doing my best to use optimal fetal positioning techniques while sitting at home either on the floor or on the couch. I'm please with the size, shape and fill of the pillow, however I dislike the choice of fabric used for the cover as it is a micro-suede of sorts and collects dog hair and lint the instant I pulled it out of the box. While I'm not a terribly messy person, as a dog owner, it's really tough to always keep all dog hair up from the floor on a daily basis. I'll continue to use this pillow, however I wish the "washable cover" would have been better explained in the description.

These are awesome. Very good quality and they look great. We have used them in our meditation group for 2 years. We have the blue, purple, and black. Very satisfied. They have a zipper that goes around the edge on one side to have access to add or subtract buckwheat shells. We’ve never seen any shells come out from sitting on them or tossing them around for storage.

Exactly what I was looking for to assist me in finding a comfortable position to start a meditation program. The product is firm, but not uncomfortable. I am a male 5'10" and weight 220 lbs. It supports me just fine.

Would highly recommend these zafus. We opted for these over cheaper options and don't regret it at all. They're full of buckwheat and you can easily remove some if it's too full for your liking. Overall these are comfortable, a good size, and seem high quality.

I really like this pillow. I use it for meditation. It’s firm and comfortable and I’m able to sit for longer periods.

Finalement utilise peu je suis plus confortable sur un bloc de yoga... N'aime pas le rembourrage de ce type finalement mais question de goût...

Vous voulez de la qualité. Je vous assure que ce coussin fait très bien. Pour avoir une bonne et confortable posture lors de vos méditations, c'est un très bon choix.

Nice material and very comfortable.
