Support Cushions — Customized Comfort

There is no better way to customize your comfort! Whether you need added height, cushioning under your knees when sitting in the cross-legged position, or cushioning under your ankles or hands — our variety of support cushions will provide additional comfort and flexibility. They are perfect for increasing comfort during daily meditation, meditation scripts, or meditation classes.

Colors coordinate with Stillness & Light and Tibetan Splendor Collections

The rectangular Buckwheat Support Cushion is one of our most versatile cushions! It is constructed of an inner muslin cushion stuffed with organic buckwheat hulls and an outer 9 oz., 100% cotton twill cover with a concealed zipper. The cover can be removed for washing. 16" w x 12" d x 4" h.

Who might need a Buckwheat Support Cushion:

  • Many very flexible meditators enjoy sitting on a Buckwheat Support Cushion instead of a zafu!
  • Tall meditators who need added height can place the support cushion under a buckwheat zafu.
  • Less flexible meditators whose knees do not touch the ground when sitting in a crossed-legged position can enjoy extra support by placing the support cushion under a knee or thigh.
  • Handmade in the USA.

    • 1. Can I clean my meditation cushion or mat?

      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.

      Washing Instructions:

      1. Check how to wash your cushion using the chart above.
      2. If it is machine washable, remove the zippered cover from your cushion.
      3. Turn the cover inside out and machine wash separately in cold water, gentle cycle, using liquid detergent.
      4. Be sure to not overload the washing machine. Allow enough space for the water to circulate evenly among the covers.
      5. Hang to dry. Do not put it in the dryer. Cotton will shrink in the dryer.
      6. If necessary iron on low, cotton setting.
