Description
We believe a lot of people will benefit from this meditation bench design, which we developed in 2006. The Center Meditation Bench provides plenty of stability while freeing up your legs, giving you greater range of movement than the traditional bench. The open design also makes it easier to get in to and out of position.
Each Still Sitting Bench is made on Vashon Island by a local craftsman. We use Red Oak, which has a warm color and lovely grain. Because of the handmade quality of these benches, while the specifications of each bench are exactly the same, the look of each is unique.
We make both a Regular and a Tall Bench. We recommend:
- Regular bench for people 5’ 7” or below.
- Tall Bench for those 5’ 8” and above.
You may choose a Center Bench with or without a Bench Cushion. The Bench Cushion gives you a nicely cushioned seat, and may help prevent you from sliding forward on your bench.

I was introduced to the Center Meditation Bench at a meditation retreat. My feet were falling asleep during my meditation while sitting in the half lotus position. After using the meditation bench my feet no longer fall asleep. When I returned home from my retreat I purchased the Center Meditation Bench. Using this bench has improved my mediation practice. Thank you!
A comfortable and easy to use meditation bench. The cushion makes all the difference, otherwise it would be slippy. That does raise the price point, though. I don’t find it hard to balance on, as some have, but I did think it came in two pieces, making it easy to travel or store. This is one solid piece, lightweight but not something I could easily carry with me on a trip.
I saw this at a friend’s house. He said he loves his and recommended. I am enjoying mine as well!! Very well built. I ordered the little cushion as well. Easy ordering and good communication!
The bench is beautifully made, but unfortunately, it is too short for me to make contact due to knee issues. Hopefully, I can get that fixed and use this bench. The bench itself is really well made. One suggestion for improvement: the bottom of the legs is extremely slick with sanding and the clear coating on the wood. When trying to use the bench on a zabuton, it slips backward out from under me. A lining of some felt or other rough material like outdoor carpet material would help, or just leave that exposed end of the wood rougher.
