Key features & specs

How it compares

Unlike foam-filled meditation cushions, this Bean Products zafu uses organic buckwheat hulls that mold to the sitter for personalized support. It also stands out from standard zafu cushions by featuring a larger oval shape that accommodates wider hips and thighs, and the use of organic hemp places it in a higher sustainability tier than cotton or synthetic fills.

What to know before buying

1. Buckwheat hulls are naturally firm; expect a break-in period of about a week for optimal comfort.
2. This oval XL cushion is larger than traditional round zafus — measure your space to ensure a good fit.
3. The organic hemp cover may shrink slightly after the first wash; air drying is recommended.
4. Hulls can be topped up or replaced via Bean Products’ refill program, extending the cushion's life.
5. If you prefer a softer seat, this cushion may feel too firm; consider adding a small seat pad on top.
