A Larger Round Meditation Cushion for Steady Support

This large buckwheat zafu weighs approximately 7 pounds. It makes a wide platform for your body, the cushion rooted beneath you.

Buckwheat hulls conform to your body while maintaining structure. You feel supported without sinking.

The Mesa Zafu works especially well for:

• Taller practitioners
• People with tight hips
• Sitters who want more elevation
• Anyone who prefers a wider meditation cushion

Because of its height, this round meditation cushion can make cross-legged posture more accessible. It helps tilt the pelvis slightly forward, supporting natural spinal alignment.

Standard or Deluxe

The Mesa Zafu is available in two versions:

• Standard – durable sewn cover
• Deluxe – removable outer cover for easy cleaning

Both versions are filled with removeable buckwheat hulls for adjustable firmness and long-term durability.

Colors

Available in three handsome colors:

• Black
• Denim
• Walnut Brown

These tones pair easily with any zabuton or meditation space.

Dimensions & Details

• 14.5″ diameter

How the Mesa Zafu Compares

If you’re comparing kapok vs buckwheat zafus, buckwheat offers more structure and adjustability. Kapok is lighter and softer. Buckwheat provides firmer, more defined support.

If you’re exploring how to sit on a zafu or building your meditation practice, a slightly taller cushion often makes posture easier to maintain over longer periods.

The Mesa Zafu is designed for practitioners who want a strong, stable base beneath their practice.
