Description
The Tibetan Seat, known sometimes as a Gomden, is a firm rectangular zafu developed by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and used in Shambala Centers worldwide. We use our 100% cotton duck fabric shell over a firm and comfortable foam block. Our foam is easy on your behind, and firm enough to provide you with the support you need – we admit it, we think it’s just right!
This cushion has a comfy quilted top and carrying handle. The Tibetan Seat comes in four handsome color combinations – Black with Blue, Black with Burgundy, Black with Black.
It should be noted that this cushion does not replace our round or crescent shaped zafus. The Tibetan Seat is used differently. When sitting on it, the meditator’s feet and ankles touch the zabuton or carpeted floor, but the knees do not. This is particularly helpful for those who aren’t flexible enough to get their knees to the floor. The Seat serves as a relaxed platform for meditation, listening to talks, or studying at a low table.
The Tibetan Seat measures 16.5” wide, 12.5” deep, 6.5” high. The shell is removable and machine washable.
great product, fast shipping and excellent customer service!
Nicely sewn. Good fabric. Too hard/firm compared to others like this I have used.
Hi Nancy, thanks for your review! We had a stretch there where the foam was heavier, but it’s lighter now again. We’d be happy to switch out your foam if you’d like – email us.
They are firm and well-made. I expect our sangha will use them for years to come. (I do wish, however, that they had been sent to the right address. Ah well, mistakes happen, and they did get to us finally.)
Perfect. Nice and firm. Just like samadhi cushions used to make.
