Meditation Pillow Buying Guide for Beginners

 Is it necessary to buy a pillow for your meditation practice? Our experience is that it greatly helps the practitioner. It helps beginners in meditation and if you sit a lot.

It is easier to sit upright for a long time on a meditation cushion. This will help you to keep your mind clear and alert. In addition, on the mat, you can make good contact with your base and the ground.

 

Sit everywhere

Of course, you can meditate anywhere. And in many ways. You can meditate while walking, lying down, sitting in a chair, but the most common way to meditate is still sitting (on a meditation mat).
The advantage of buying your own meditation mat is that it supports your meditation not only physically, but also mentally: if you sit on the same mat every day, you can train your mind and body.
The silence, focus and depth of meditation will come faster than if you practice on a different mat every day, or then on a chair, then on a bed, etc.

 

 

The height of the meditation mat

The purpose of the pillow is to help you sit firmly and comfortably during meditation. This is also less painful so that you can continue meditating better. Therefore, it is important that you choose the right seat height for you. Which height is right for you depends on your height and flexibility.
What do you do with it? The standard height of a pillow is 15 cm. If you have been meditating for some time or practice yoga regularly, this will soon be on the high side. That's why it's best to choose a meditation mat in which you can fill yourself.

 

Choosing a mat shape

Crescent meditation pillows are usually slightly lower than round meditation pillows. Again, if sitting cross-legged is comfortable for you, you may choose this lower cushion, but a slightly higher (round) cushion may be more appropriate.
The advantage of a crescent-shaped pillow is that it provides more support for the thighs and offers more pelvic tilt. Contact us for more info.

 

 

Choosing the right filling

Buckwheat has a hard, dark brown hull that bulges slightly around the seeds. These buckwheat hulls are very firm and hard and hemispherical in shape. This makes them ideal fillings for meditation cushions; on the one hand, the hulls leave enough air between them. This keeps the pillow light and maintains just the right amount of elasticity.

 

Choose a canvas cover

If you want to buy a meditation cushion, it is best to choose a model that is sturdy and hard-wearing. This means that you can also sit comfortably on rougher surfaces without damaging your cushion. Cotton canvas is perfect for this. In any case, it is best to choose a natural fabric, and the same goes for the inner cover.
