Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to memory foam meditation cushions, buckwheat hull fill offers superior breathability and adaptive support that does not flatten over time. The Retrospec Sedona also competes with zafu-style crescent cushions, providing a more traditional round shape favored in Zen and Vipassana traditions.

What to know before buying

1. Remove the inner zippered pouch and adjust buckwheat fill to your preferred firmness – less fill for softer support, more for firm lift.
2. Allow the cushion to air out for 24 hours after unboxing to dissipate any natural hull odor.
3. Use on a non-slip rug or yoga mat to prevent sliding during active meditation.
4. Spot clean the cover with mild soap; machine wash only on gentle cycle and air dry.
5. Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup in the hulls.
