"za'foo: an oval shaped cushion used for everyday sitting in Asia for centuries. Today the zafu is rediscovered by Westerners for meditation, yoga, and simple home furnishing."

The zafu enhances meditation by helping you get in touch with your breath and the wonders of being present in the moment right now.

Thousands of our zafus are being used in homes and retreat centers throughout the world.

The zafu often thought of as only a yoga cushion or meditation cushion, has many other uses. It is a perfect bolster for stretching the back, and can be used on a chair for ergonomic sitting. It's nice to have a few around the house for company.

Removable covers, sold separately, help keep your zafu easy to clean.
Support Cushions are used under a zafu by those who need a higher seat. Other uses of the support cushion are 1) placed under one or both knees by those sitting in the 'sky' position, and 2) placed in a regular chair with buckwheat pushed to back to create a forward sloping tilt.

We offer two sizes: medium and large.

Most people use the zafu for the Burmese sitting position (shown on right). However, this Asian seat can also be used like a saddle by straddling the top. This usually works best by stacking one zafu on top of another to the the proper height. For a description of sitting positions and sitting techniques, click here.

Support Cushion

A support cushion has many uses. It most often used to raise the height of the zafu by about one inch, for those that need extra height. It can also be placed under one or both knees to raise the knee higher. Some people place it on their lap to rest the hands on when sitting on a zafu. Others use it in a chair or car seat to create a forward sloping tilt (buckwheat works best for this purpose).
