Mountain Seat Zafu (Standard)

$85.00
Mountain Seat Zafu (Standard)

If you think that physical pain in meditation is just plain unnecessary, this is the cushion for you. Combining a layer of viscoelastic foam with a sturdy, buckwheat hull base, The Mountain Seat is covered in a durable cotton/poly shell. The foam layer conforms to your body contour, eliminating many complaints caused by more traditional kapok or cotton-filled meditation cushions. Because of its structural memory, the foam will provide years of maintenance-free support. The second layer consists of buckwheat hulls in a muslin bag sealed with a Velcro strip. By opening the flap beneath the zafu's handle, the amount of buckwheat can be easily adjusted to suit your individual needs.
Black, 13.5" diameter, 7.5" high. Made in the USA.

Also available at a discount with the Mountain Seat zabuton

Submitted By: Richard on 09/12/2005
I have had chronic knee problems for many years and recently underwent surgery. For years I have tried everything from sitting with small cushions, soft cushions, tall cusions and firm cushions, and nothing has ever worked. Buckwheat cushions were too firm with no give; putting a lot of pressure on my back and forcing me to compensate in my knees. The kapok cushions were too soft and would squish down over the course of a period, not providing enough support. For this reason I have never been able to sit cross legged and have always used a seiza bench. About a year ago, my wife and I began using the Mountain Seat cushions and for the first time in my life I am able to sit cross legged. The cushion adjusts to the pressure I put on it and responds with just enough support to take the load off of my knees and back. I cannot state in more emphatic terms how much I love this cushion!
