Brand New Black/Burgundy Zabuton Zafu Set, Yoga, Meditation Seat Cushi


Condition: Brand New.

Color: Burgundy/Black

Zabuton Dimensions: 3" Thick x 28" wide x 36" long.

Zafu Dimensions: 6" Thick x 9" Wide x 15" Long.

Filled with all cotton.

This brand new zabuton & Zafu set is an ideal for yoga, meditation and exercise practices, to use this zabuton on the floor for supporting, sitting and kneeling. As the floor cushions, you may use them to design your living styles, decorate your rooms, or to put them surrounding a tea table. For the sofa, you may put these cushions on the wooden sofa frame, they are maybe the seat cushions and back supporting cushions.

I purchased this zabuton and zafu set for Zen Buddhist mediation. I read most positive reviews of this product and I decided to purchase it because of the price. The zabuton is very thick and provides great support. The zafu, however, is smaller than I expected. Expecting a slightly higher cushion, like the cylindrical zafus found in many zendos, I found that I could not maintain crossed-legged positions on this cushion because of its relatively low height. After a week or so of frustrating zazen sittings and many aching back muscles, I finally resorted to placing a small couch pillow underneath the zafu. The extra support has allowed me to sit in the half lotus. Now I am a beginner and not extraordinarily flexible, so perhaps more limber meditation practitioners won't have any problems with this zafu. But because I wanted a zafu similar to the heights of zafus at the zendos where I sit, I decided to purchase a different zafu all together. For a beginner like me, it was difficult to know what kind of zafu I would need and how best to accommodate my own particular physicality in mediation. If at all possible, I would suggest to potential customers to somehow try out other cushions first before making a purchase. While meditation is always a struggle mentally and physically, painful sittings are discouraging and can lead to much distraction, again, for this beginner....

Upon unpacking, the product had a pretty strong smell. So I decided to wash the covers first. The covers are zipped making you think it's removable. It is but get ready for the mess inside. There is no inner lining so as soon as I unzipped the covers the so-called "all cotton" stuffings jumped right out. It was gross. The covers themselves are cheaply made too, and are not cotton material. Will keep it only because of the hassle of shipping it back. Would NOT purchase again....

I've had the set for a few days and used it a few times. I'm extremely impressed with the quality of the materials, and the density of the cotton fill is perfect. The fabric is not 100% cotton, but more like standard futon fabric, which I actually like more than cotton. (My brother has a much more expensive set out of the standard 100% cotton, and i like this material more.) Note I will be using the zabuton everyday and the zafu a few times per week, so I wanted quality.

The size of the set is perfect for me. I am 5'9". Just be aware of the size of the zabuton, while a perfect size for me, but it is a bit smaller than the zabutons I have seen.

Overall, I see no reason spend significantly more on one of these sets, this is a great one and highly recommended...
