Meditation is hard. You’re asking your brain to acknowledge passing thoughts without latching onto them. That’s difficult when you’ve got work problems, family drama and a mile-long to-do list. Don’t throw a lumpy, sunken cushion in and make it worse. If you’re slumping down into your cushion and falling out of your straight-back posture, you’ll be repositioning yourself throughout the entire meditation. Treat yourself and your stressed out brain to one of the best meditation cushions.
These cushions are usually filled with buckwheat, which is firm and stiff. No matter how many hours you spend meditating—or daydreaming about your next retail therapy sesh—on the cushion, it’ll keep its shape. It won’t detract or distract from your practice. You won’t not even notice it, which is the intention. If you’re a yogi, you can use this pillow as a support during a particular difficult pose.
The pillows come in a variety of calming colors and cool patterns, so you can find something that suits your style. All of our picks have removable covers that you can throw in the washer.
Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.
