The Round Cushion of Buddhist Practice

The round Zafu is one of the oldest meditation cushion forms — used across Buddhist traditions to lift the hips and tilt the pelvis forward, which lets the spine stack naturally. Without that lift, sitting cross-legged for any length of time becomes uncomfortable. This is the simple, traditional version.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Zabuton (floor cushion) underneath?
For longer sitting, yes — a Zabuton protects your knees and ankles from the floor. For shorter sessions on a soft rug or yoga mat, the Zafu alone is fine.

Is the lift right for my body?
20cm suits most people. Taller folks or those with tight hips may prefer our 5-Petal or 8-Petal Zafus, which sit lower or wider.

Can the cover be washed?
Spot-clean with cool water and mild soap. Don't machine wash — kapok clumps when wet.

Each cushion is hand-stuffed by Thai artisans, so size, weight, and pattern alignment may vary slightly between pieces. We see this as part of the character — every cushion is one of a kind.
