Buckwheat hulls provide proper support with no break-in period—feels like sitting on sand! Our meditation cushions are perfect for increasing comfort during daily meditation, meditation scripts, or meditation classes.
Our best-selling product! When we introduced the Buckwheat Hull Zafu (pron. zah'-foo) in 1996, we knew this cushion provided an astonishing improvement in comfort. Today, it is our bestselling product. While still providing all the support of a traditional kapok-filled zafu, the Buckwheat Hull Zafu conforms more readily to each individual's shape and is somewhat softer. It is like sitting on sand at the beach - the hulls move where you want them.
We stuff the Buckwheat Hull Zafu with approximately 4 1/2 lbs. of organic buckwheat hulls encased in a zippered muslin shell making it easy to add/remove the hulls. The Buckwheat Hull Zafu measures 15" in diameter with a 5 1/2" loft. Made of durable 10 oz., 100% cotton duck fabric with carrying handle. Removable zippered cover for easy washing.
Handmade in the USA.

Yes! All round buckwheat filled zafu cushions, flat zabuton mats, Roll Up and Go Yoga Mats, and support cushions come with a zippered cover that can be removed for washing. Follow the chart and step by step instructions below to ensure that your cushions will look as good after multiple washes as they did when they were new!
**Please note: Buckwheat hull and 100% natural cotton batting filling should not get wet. As with all fine fabrics, avoid direct sunlight. All fabrics will fade over time.
