This rectangular meditation cushion can be used horizontally or vertically for support in sitting or kneeling postures. The Zen Cushion can be used horizontally for cross-legged seating, or vertically (between the ankles) for support while kneeling. This is a favorite for men and larger yogis because of the additional surface area. This meditation cushion is filled with organic buckwheat hulls that form to your contours, is covered with sturdy, beautiful, long-lasting upholstery-grade fabric, and includes a convenient carrying handle. Each one is handmade in the USA. Spot clean with a damp cloth. For deep cleaning, empty buckwheat hulls into a bowl. Hand wash cover and hang to dry. Replace filling when completely dry.
