Dawn in the Pines
Quality meditation cushions are an important, once-in-a-lifetime investment for every serious meditator. Our made-to-order meditation cushions are perfect for increasing comfort during daily meditation, meditation scripts, or meditation classes.
"In front of the door lies
The Land of Stillness and Light"
The dark and moody greens of the forest are illuminated as the morning light shines softly through the canopy of leaves. This collection of meditation cushions is inspired by the mind's true nature — stillness and light.
Purchase a matching solid-colored buckwheat zafu (pronounced za' - foo) and a zabuton (pronounced za' - boo - tawn) as a set and save! The ZZSET makes a great gift!
We also sell our matching zabutons and zafus as individual pieces. Shop our matching support cushions here.
Specifications
Each set comes with a buckwheat hull zafu and a zabuton meditation mat in one of our following sizes:
About Our Forest Path Zabuton Mat
The foundation cushion for your zafu or meditation bench. Our zabuton provides essential cushioning for your ankles and knees when sitting cross-legged on a zafu or on a meditation bench. Years of Zen Center living have gone into perfecting the design of this mat.
About Our Forest Path Buckwheat Hull Zafu Pillow
The Buckwheat Hull Zafu provides ideal body posture and support in addition to the comfort of the zabuton. While still providing all the support of a traditional kapok-filled zafu, this buckwheat meditation cushion 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.
Cushions handmade in the USA.

Your meditation cushion is so much more than an ergonomic tool. Over time, it becomes your beloved companion! That's why making quality cushions is so important to DharmaCrafts. It is our honor to make the cushion that will accompany you on your spiritual journey.
Please watch the informative and fun video below to learn more about why choosing a handcrafted DharmaCrafts meditation cushion is an investment that will last a lifetime. You will also learn the benefits of using a zafu (round cushion) and zabuton (flat mat) set as opposed to just sitting on the floor or on a regular pillow.
Handcrafted in Our Own Shop
Since the beginning, DharmaCrafts cushions have been handcrafted in our own shop. DharmaCrafts' founder, Dyan Eagles, originally stuffed each zafu herself outside on the porch at the Cambridge Zen Center, even during the cold New England winter. Now your DharmaCrafts cushion is made in our Fall River, MA warehouse by a small, dedicated staff of trained craftspeople who pay close attention to fine detail. Under new but equally dedicated ownership, we have stayed true to Dyan’s values of providing ideals of quality products, great customer service, and the desire to help others here at DharmaCrafts.
Experience the Quality
Since 1979 we have handcrafted the finest meditation cushions available. In homes, meditation centers, hospitals, corporations, and schools across the country, thousands of people begin and end their day on a DharmaCrafts cushion.
Made to Last a Lifetime
You can expect your DharmaCrafts cushion to last a lifetime. Premium materials, double-stitched seams, and careful assembly result in a superior meditation cushion—the perfect place to rest your body and mind.
Our Commitment to You
You can depend on our workmanship for a consistently excellent and distinctive product. Additionally, our customer service team is always ready to help with any questions or concerns you may have. See our meditation cushion FAQ for more information.
