"Too high and heavy"

I got this Zafu(meditation cushion.) It is round in shape and too high and bulky to be comfortable to sit on, around 9 inches high and 15-18 inches in diameter. It is also pretty heavy, around 4 pounds due to the sheer size.

I could not sit comfortably on it due to this reason returned it. I would recommend trying it somewhere before buying.

The filling seemed of good quality. 2 stars

"I take refuge in the cushion"

I've been very pleased with this zafu (which I ended up choosing, because it was the cheapest one I could find, which looked comparable to the $40-60 cushions available elsewhere). The material is a heavy, soft cotton, it's stitched well, comes generously stuffed and there is a zipper on the side so you can adjust the heighth by removing some of the filling.

I feel very stable and grounded on this cushion. I'd been sitting on flat ground for two years, before finally breaking down and buying a zafu, that I almost feel spoiled with this. It's made meditation much more enjoyable for me. I can sit much longer than I could on flatground and without any discomfort. 5 stars

"Pretty decent but a little hard and a little too tall for me"

I had been looking around and got this one because it was one of the cheaper options. I find it to be a little too hard and a little too tall for sitting. I think it might be more appropriate for tighter hips and I suppose the hardness is a matter of personal preference. All in all though not bad and I definitely use it often. 3 stars

"Great Quality - but not sure what product the other people brought..."

I'm impressed with the quality of the materials - very well made and though it's heavy, it feels like it will take years of wear and tear.

A note on the other comments - I am 6'6", and was looking for a cushion that was pretty tall (about 9"). So, based on the reviews, I decided to buy this item. It turns out that the item is really 5" high and 15"-16" in diameter. So, unless the other reviewers got a different product or they are only 3' tall - this is a good size for the average person. 3 stars

"yes i"

this zafu is good for sitting in hero pose (virasana) but it is a bit too high for most people to sit in full or half lotus (padmasana) on it. 4 stars
