Support Cushions
Support cushions are small meditation cushions designed to fine-tune your sitting posture.
While a zafu provides height and lift, support cushions help with the details — easing pressure under the knees or ankles, getting your hip tilt right, or adding just enough lift where your body needs it.
Many meditators use them to reduce strain during longer sits or to adapt posture as their body changes over time.
We offer two options:
Meditation Support Cushion — versatile support to give your zafu a lift, or for knees or ankles.
Little Helper Cushion — smaller, more precise lift for subtle adjustments
Both are made with the same durable construction and attention to detail as our primary meditation cushions.
Explore the options below to find the support that fits your practice.

FAQs (to sit below the tiles)
What is a meditation support cushion?
A meditation support cushion is a small cushion used alongside a zafu or zabuton to relieve pressure on the knees, ankles, or hips. It helps refine posture and improve comfort during seated meditation.
Do I need a support cushion if I already have a zafu?
Possibly. A zafu raises the hips, but some practitioners still experience knee, ankle, or back strain. Support cushions provide targeted relief without changing your primary cushion.
What’s the difference between the Meditation Support Cushion and the Little Helper Cushion?
The Meditation Support Cushion provides broader, versatile support and can be used in multiple positions, and is most often used to fine tune the height of the zafu.
The Little Helper Cushion is smaller and designed for subtle, precise adjustments — ideal when you need just a touch of lift.
Are support cushions only for beginners?
No. Beginners often benefit from added support while developing flexibility. Experienced meditators use support cushions to prevent strain and maintain alignment during longer sessions.
Can these be used for yoga or floor sitting?
Yes. They work well for stretching, floor sitting, kneeling, or seated practices beyond meditation.
What are they stuffed with?
Our square Meditation Support Cushion is stuffed with 100% cotton, and our Little Helper Cushion is stuffed with buckwheat hulls.
