Meditation Floor Seat

This meditation floor seat is a large cushion made from firm memory foam, 60 x 60cm and 22cm high, with grooves shaped into it for your legs. When you sit cross-legged, your legs settle into the grooves and stay put, and the base underneath has a non-slip finish so the seat doesn’t creep across a smooth floor.

The foam is firm enough to keep its shape with daily use, so the seat doesn’t flatten out after a few weeks the way a soft pillow can. At 60cm across there’s room for your hips and most of your legs on the cushion itself. It also works as a floor pillow for sitting at a low table or reading on the floor.

How to use it

Put the seat on a flat floor with the non-slip side down. Sit in the middle, cross your legs and let each one find its groove. At 22cm it’s taller than a typical zafu (our Bloom buckwheat zafu is 15cm), so your knees will sit well below your hips. If that feels too high, try sitting further back on the cushion.

Give yourself a couple of sits to get used to it. Memory foam softens a little as it warms up, so the seat can feel firmer in a cold room first thing in the morning and ease off after a few minutes.

Who it suits

It suits people who want one wide, stable cushion that holds its shape, and people who’d like their whole lower body on the cushion. If you meditate kneeling, a bench such as the bamboo meditation bench may suit you better. Cushions, benches and floor chairs are all in our meditation cushions and benches.

Care

Spot-clean the cover with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, and let it dry fully before use. Keep the seat out of strong direct sun, which breaks down foam over time, and let it air now and then.
