Retrospec Sedona Zafu Meditation Cushion with Buckwheat Hull Fill - Adjustable Yoga & Pilates Equipment Support - 17in Crescent Cotton Cover

It's firm, but it feels good for meditation. I like the firmness for aligning my back, and its the perfect height off the ground to make my legs comfortable for 20 minute sits. The fabric feels durable, if not the softest in the world. For my purposes I don't really need it to be soft as much as remain firm without being hard and putting my legs to sleep.

I wish they could design the fabric to be more 'smooth', but otherwise this is the perfect Zafu. I don't have too much experience with these cushions, but it's great for a beginner (like me) and the price-point was very good for starting out. The colors are nice, the 'feel' of the fabric is nice. And of course, the natural buckwheat filling is SO firm and comfortable for long meditation sessions. I'll be using this for a long time, if not forever

I’m not only using this as (1) an effective meditation cushion, but also as (2) a bedtime night and nap time pillow for my head. That curve fits great from the top of my shoulders to the back of my head, and equally wonderful is (3) its natural buckwheat scent. I had been in Korean stores before and noticed the many buckwheat pillows on display, and now I get it. The nice buckwheat smell makes my sleep more pleasant. The pillow raises my head more than the standard US marshmallow pillow, but I need that because sometimes I have acid reflux and I read that raising the head in bed helps prevent it. I only recently got this pillow, but (4) so far no GERD.

I did not go full 5 stars because the size of the pillow and the hardness of the buckwheat makes it a bit hard to sit on for awhile. But, that said, its nice sometimes and after I took some hulls out, it was better but I have not found the right level yet. It is a good pillow for sitting crosslegged and reducing the pressure on the knees and feet.

This cushion is just right! It is a good height and very stable and comfortable. I saw the reviews about it being too hard for sitting a long time. I find it very comfortable and not too hard even with the full amount of buckwheat. It conforms well to the body. I am glad that I did not listen to the negative reviews. It is a very good cushion!

I love this meditation cushion. It provides great back support when you sit right. I use it to sit on regardless. Not heavy but good quality. No weird smell.

I rarely write positive reviews but some of the reviews here were so misleading that I almost considered making my own buckwheat pillow which took hours from my life in research. I was looking for an office chair cushion for better WFH ergonomics and since I'm trying to minimize plastic in my life, I wanted a buckwheat cushion, not a foam/polyester one. My sleeping pillow is buckwheat and after doing a brief sitting test, I found it comfortable enough to continue on with my plan. I came across this and others like it on amazon, and was leaning heavily towards this one because: 1) Cheaper than the rest 2) 100% Cotton cover and 100% buckwheat hulls filling But I saw on the reviews that it had a Prop 65 warning because the hulls were actually acrylic??? Since I saw no pictures substantiating this claim, and making my own pillow might be an order of magnitude more on cost and time, I decided to take the plunge and if the description was as wrong as the reviewer said, return it. So I was glad that the product description is right. It is 100% buckwheat hull fillers and 100% cotton. The only plastic is in the zipper enclosure. TBD as it is as flimsy as the other reviewers have said. I'm pretty happy with my WFH setup and I find the cushion helps me maintain a better posture. There was a bit of a smell, but it reminded me of when I open a bedsheet package. After a day it was gone. As to the prop 65 warning... I live in California... those stickers are everywhere and they are not really helpful as to inform you of the reason why and to quantify the risk. Somethings have the sticker and are not really dangerous if used as intended and other things that are dangerous are yet to be labeled. Some companies put the sticker without testing just to not get into trouble. Could it be because the buckwheat hulls? Psyllium husks (even some organic ones) have the prop 65 warning because the hulls bioaccumulate contaminant in the soil, so it could be something similar.

Well-made. Sturdy. Comfortable. Love the built in strap/handle.

A almofada é boa para meditar, mas não achei muito bonita pessoalmente.

This lovely crescent cushion is ideal for preventing leg cramps, is very well made, arrived in good time. Highly recommended. Has made a great difference to my capacity to practice.

Very good design and easy to use. Fit for purpose.

La calidad se ve a simple vista. En cuanto a su utilidad, es fantástico el hecho de que puedas eliminar las cáscaras de trigo hasta que el cojín se amolde a tus preferencias (dureza, etc.). Lo volvería a comprar
