The petal-design Zafu shaped for comfort. Five sewn segments curve around your body for stable sitting, with a slightly lower 18cm lift that suits longer meditation sessions and ergonomic comfort.
Why you'll love it
- 100% Natural Kapok Fibre — Hand-stuffed into five separate petal-shaped segments. Each segment holds firm independently, so the cushion conforms to your body without collapsing on one side.
- 5-Petal Ergonomic Shape — The petal stitching creates gentle contours that cradle your hips and reduce pressure points on long sits.
- 18cm Lift, 45cm Diameter — Wider than the basic round Zafu, slightly lower in lift. Easier on tight hips and a bit more grounded.
- For Longer Sessions — A natural choice if you sit for 20+ minutes at a time and want the extra comfort.

Ergonomic Cushion Design, Thai Materials
The petal-stitched Zafu is a more recent evolution of the traditional round form — an ergonomic answer to the discomfort of long meditation sittings. The same kapok and Thai fabric, with a shape designed for the way modern bodies actually sit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the petal shape feel different to the round Zafu?
The petals create a gentle scoop that contours to your hips. Some sitters find it more comfortable for longer sessions, others prefer the simpler round shape. Personal preference.
Is 18cm lift enough?
For most sitters, yes — particularly those with reasonable hip flexibility. Tight hips or longer legs may prefer the 20cm Round Zafu or the 14cm 8-Petal (different geometry).
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.
