Gaiam Yoga Bolster Pillow, Soft Meditation Cushion for Yoga, Massage and Back Support, Breathable Cotton Fill, Zippered Microfiber Cover, Easy-Carry Handle, Machine Washable

Helpful for deep stretching!
This is great for stretching and restorative yoga poses. It’s firm enough to provide support but still comfortable, and the quality feels really nice! Definitely great for holding deep stretches for longer periods of time.

Great bolster!
Things I love: this was my first yoga bolster and dispite some dodgy reviews I bought it and I don’t regret it. Price was right. No weird smell out of bag. The material (black), seems durable and soft, and so far doesn’t seem to attract lint or hair (caveat: I also have no pets), and it doesn’t slide around during poses and stays where you need it. It’s firm and supporting, but also not too hard.Things I don’t love – it’s kind of heavy (compared to my other everyday yoga brand bolster 🙇🏼‍♀️ ❤️)! Which probably makes it best for home use and not porting it about to yoga classes. Additionally, this only has one carry loop, so it can be awkward to grab if you get the non loop end while on the floor. I wouldn’t go so far as to say this bolster is lumpy, but the fiberfill/batting does kind of compress/indent. It’s a VERY minor detail and happens due the material used. If you give it a quick plump before or after they pretty much disappear. It seems like it could compress overtime with usage, but so far so good with my couple of weeks of everyday (beginner) use.Even though my hands down favorite is the EY bolster, this one will still have a place and be very enjoyable. I haven’t tried to get the washable cover off or back on so can’t comment on that.

Comfortable like a pillow
Really nice soft feeling and beautiful dark black color. The color does make you see every spot of dust but it is easily removable by hand or cloth. It fits perfectly husband and wife. When sitting on the floor and laying in the bolster with your back your head is on the pillow still which makes it comfortable. It’s a light small bolster easy to take with you, but big enough for a good back stretch. I like that it’s kinda round but not fully which makes it more comfortable to lay on that a fully round one. Like a soft pillow stretch.

Lumpy bolster disappointment
It is lumpy. All the bolsters I’ve used in yoga studios have been firm and a solid pillow. It’s pretty clear in the photo I’ve attached, and it feels worse. I’m super disappointed because Gaiam is a good brand, and this bolster had great reviews.

I like the versatility of the uses. I n ver thought i would like it but i do. It even suvived a puppy attack. So its now not used as much. It is expensive but it is the right balance of soft, firm and size that makes it perfect

Firm but a bit lumpy
