A zafu cushion is a round, firm cushion traditionally used in Zen meditation. Our cushions are filled with organic cotton and are used to elevate the hips and provide support for the seated meditation posture. The word “zafu” comes from the Japanese, “za” meaning “seat” and “fu” meaning “cushion.” These cushions are designed to improve posture and help reduce discomfort during meditation. They can be used in a variety of seated positions, such as on a chair or on the floor, and can help beginners as well as experienced meditators maintain a comfortable and stable position.
