The perfect meditation cushion for your yoga practice

Why a meditation cushion is important for your yoga practice

When you meditate, you are in a prolonged seat and your back gets tired. The result is pain and thus discomfort. A meditation cushion helps here, it relieves the back by raising the seat, tilting the pelvis forward and the spine adopting a relaxing and natural shape. In this way you stabilize your posture, protect your back and promote your health. A meditation cushion is suitable for anyone who wants to meditate pain-free. Especially for beginners, a meditation cushion helps to focus on the technique of meditation and not also on the posture of your body. Meditation cushions are available in a wide variety of designs, with the round meditation cushion being the most well-known and best-selling cushion. There is a large selection of meditation cushions, which differ in size, shape, colour, pattern and filling material.

Hygiene and ease of care

The meditation cushions have a removable cover and can therefore be easily cleaned. The filling of the meditation cushion is usually in an inner fabric bag with a zipper. In order to avoid bacterial growth, the meditation cushions are made of hygienic and natural materials. The fillings of meditation cushions are 100% natural and recyclable. In addition, these natural fillings of the meditation cushion smell very good, the scent alone ensures relaxation. The filling material of the meditation cushion can be made of kapok, spelled husk, millet husk, buckwheat husk or cherry stones. The kapok filling is recommended for allergy sufferers, as this attracts fewer mites, but is softer and a little less stable in the sitting position.

Spelled: is the most common filling for meditation cushions and adapts very well to the body. Spelled is not very heavy, but it makes noise. This filling of the meditation cushion loses stability over time. Here it is advisable to completely remove the filling from the meditation cushion, air it and fill it in again.

Kapok, also called plant down, is the soft fiber of the kapok tree and looks very similar to cotton. A meditation cushion filled with kapok is ideal for allergy sufferers. Kapok is water-repellent, relatively light, elastic, stable and soft. A kapok meditation cushion should be shaken from time to time to loosen the fibers again.

Millet husk, as a filling for a meditation cushion, is harder than spelled husk. In addition, the meditation cushion with a millet husk filling is quiet. Meditation cushions with millet fur are elastic and store heat well.

Buckwheat husk can also be used as a filling for a meditation cushion. The meditation cushion with buckwheat husk is also a good heat accumulator. However, this filling of the meditation cushion is heavier and harder than spelled husk.
