C T Posted March 8, 2013 I am due to buy a decent meditation cushion (preferably inflatable) I can use when I meditate in the forest. I have seen some on eBay (zafus) but I am not sure about their quality. Can anyone recommend me one? Thanks. The one i used at home has been with me for 17 years, and has not lost any firmness. Its about 7 inches high, and roughly 15 inches in diameter. Not sure what material is used as stuffing. Suits me well. Looks like this -- http://www.tradeindia.com/fp632049/Round-Cotton-Zafus-Yoga-Meditation-Cushion.html Outdoors, i would normally find a stone or a log to sit on. I would think if you are going on longer treks then an inflatable one would be quite ideal. Some places which suddenly arouse the need to sit might not have logs or stones lying around.

Flolfolil Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) i would be interested in suggestions for a decent cheap one also a good sticky mat worth investing in that wont slide at all in standing postures. seen too many bad reviews on amazon to throw down for one quite yet. i don't feel like this derails the thread Edited March 8, 2013 by Flolfolil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustBHappy Posted March 8, 2013 I'm a simpleton and have found that a low cushion is best, so I use a yoga mat. Just roll it up loosely, then unroll it halfway. The legs have a nice surface to rest on and your behind has a lift to get it a little higher than your knees. It's also light and easily transported. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joeblast Posted March 8, 2013 I have a hugger mugger that is filled with I think buckwheat husks, easy to pick up and transport, thumbs up from me - although its not of the inflatable type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChiDragon Posted March 8, 2013 Does inflatable one give you a good balance of the body weight....??? Doesn't it tend to shift the weight as you move...??? Just couple of curious questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trunk Posted March 9, 2013 About 15 yrs ago I busted out and got some zafus from DharmaCrafts.com that are filled with buckwheat hull. I really prefer it to the cotton filled. Their products are not cheap, but the quality is excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flolfolil Posted March 9, 2013 ANNNNDDDD i am stupid. i can't believe i didn't think to look for a sewing pattern for one of these. i could literally be done with one of these in a couple hours or less. Going to make one soon and report back, maybe sell them super duper cheap for custom ones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harmonious Emptiness Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) a towel or two, folded several times, does the job and is not heavy in the backpack. Edited March 9, 2013 by Harmonious Emptiness 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
