The widest, most stable Zafu in our range. Eight sewn petals create a generous 48cm seat with 14cm lift — built for larger frames, longer sittings, or anyone who finds standard Zafus tip them forward.

Why you'll love it

• 100% Natural Kapok Fibre — Hand-stuffed into eight separate petal-shaped segments. Each segment supports independently, so the cushion stays even across the full 48cm seat.
• 8-Petal Wider Stability — Eight petals instead of five means a wider, more stable base. Less wobble, more grounded sit.
• Lower Lift, Larger Seat — At 14cm tall and 48cm wide, this Zafu sits closer to the floor with more contact area. Suits larger bodies, looser hips, or sitters who feel tipped forward by taller Zafus.
• For Longer, Steadier Practice — A natural choice for 30+ minute meditation sessions or anyone who wants the most stable, grounded seat in the range.

When You Need More Cushion Under You

The 8-Petal Zafu evolved as the answer to a common meditation problem: standard Zafus don't suit every body. Wider seat, lower lift, more stable — particularly comfortable for sitters with longer torsos, larger frames, or hip stiffness that makes high-lifted Zafus feel unstable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different to the 5-Petal Zafu?
Bigger seat (48cm vs 45cm), more petals (8 vs 5 — more independent support segments), and lower lift (14cm vs 18cm). The 8-petal feels wider and more grounded; the 5-petal feels more contoured.

Will the kapok flatten over time?
Kapok bounces back when fluffed. With 8 petals, the cushion holds shape particularly well as each segment refluffs independently.

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.
