Retrospec Sedona Zafu Meditation Cushion Filled w/Buckwheat Hulls – Yoga Pillow for Meditation Practices – Machine Washable 100% Cotton Cover & Durable Carry Handle; Crescent, Stone

Careful washing! Bring back the teal!
Very sturdy material. Feels comfortable, adjustable and very durable. No smell. Perfect for support while sitting on floor. My husband has sciatica and I have knee and ankle issues and we both love it. Careful when washing may shrink if washed incorrectly (my husband of course). Nothing softer can’t fix.

Great office chair cushion, 100% Buckwheat filler, 100% cotton
I rarely write positive reviews but some of the reviews here were so misleading that I almost considered making my own buckwheat pillow which took hours from my life in research. I was looking for an office chair cushion for better WFH ergonomics and since I’m trying to minimize plastic in my life, I wanted a buckwheat cushion, not a foam/polyester one. My sleeping pillow is buckwheat and after doing a brief sitting test, I found it comfortable enough to continue on with my plan. I came across this and others like it on amazon, and was leaning heavily towards this one because:1) Cheaper than the rest2) 100% Cotton cover and 100% buckwheat hulls fillingBut I saw on the reviews that it had a Prop 65 warning because the hulls were actually acrylic??? Since I saw no pictures substantiating this claim, and making my own pillow might be an order of magnitude more on cost and time, I decided to take the plunge and if the description was as wrong as the reviewer said, return it.So I was glad that the product description is right. It is 100% buckwheat hull fillers and 100% cotton. The only plastic is in the zipper enclosure. TBD as it is as flimsy as the other reviewers have said. I’m pretty happy with my WFH setup and I find the cushion helps me maintain a better posture. There was a bit of a smell, but it reminded me of when I open a bedsheet package. After a day it was gone.As to the prop 65 warning… I live in California… those stickers are everywhere and they are not really helpful as to inform you of the reason why and to quantify the risk. Somethings have the sticker and are not really dangerous if used as intended and other things that are dangerous are yet to be labeled. Some companies put the sticker without testing just to not get into trouble. Could it be because the buckwheat hulls? Psyllium husks (even some organic ones) have the prop 65 warning because the hulls bioaccumulate contaminant in the soil, so it could be something similar.

Perfect for Burmese sitting
My plan was to vary my seating for meditation so I wouldn’t get attached to one format, but not only was this cushion so perfect I decided to make it my default, I’m getting another one! It is perfect for burmese style sitting. My legs didn’t even fall asleep after 26 minutes, a former guarantee. The cover looks very durable, and my favorite color. I feel perfectly supported. Overall, best meditation equipment I’ve bought. ˆ—ˆ

Makes sitting on the floor more comfortable
I got this for my yoga class. Sitting on the floor was difficult and using the foam blocks was uncomfortable. I like that you can adjust the firmness by removing some of the buckwheat filling.

This helps with posture whilst meditating. I’m very happy I took a chance and purchased it.

Firme. El tamaño es el correcto. El color no es el que promete. Dice gris y me llegó más como un color gris verdoso militar (aunque en la cámara parezca gris). No es tan importante, pero no es el color que esperaba. Desprende un aroma ligero como a tabaco (supongo que es por el tipo de relleno). El cierre no funciona tan bien; se atora en las costuras de los pliegues pero sí se puede abrir. La tela del relleno se ve un poco delgada, me preocupa que se rompa rápido y se le salga el relleno. Habrá que ver. La parte de adentro (el cojín sin la funda) trae un cierre pequeño que se ve bueno. En general, cómodo. Mi espalda sí se alinea cuando me siento. Funcionalmente, bien. Estéticamente, deja qué desear.
