A couple nits, but very nice…
Two essentials of zazen are stability and a properly arched back. I’m a big boy, and not very flexible, so I employ the “chair” position for zazen, with my trusty zafu planted on top.When sitting on a zafu in the lotus position, one’s knees are on the floor – knees and butt comprise a tripod – and your thighs angle downwards, allowing your pelvis to rotate forward so your back arches properly. Bad posture means a really sore back and no shikantaza.Most chairs don’t afford enough elevation to properly position your thighs, even with a normal zafu, so I got a Large Buckwheat Zafu Meditation Cushion, Black to get more height. Hoo bingo!This zafu is TALL and SOLID, made from a durable-appearing cloth, and has a nifty handle for drayage. I hope the buckwheat husks pack down somewhat, as it is a trifle firm. Here we come to the nits:First, there is no zipper. One of these glowrus days, I’ll want to replace the buckwheat husks, which eventually pulverize. This will require dismantling the zafu. Fortunately my wife is an ace quilter, so a zipper will be installed in maybe 5-8 years. Sooner, if I have to deflate the thing a bit.Second, the zafu is bulky and heavy. As mentioned earlier, I’m big, so not a big deal, but smaller people might want to consider two zafus to make toting easier.Nevertheless, I’m well pleased with this product.

Excellent for tall people
I’ve been using this for a year now, and I absolutely love it. I’m 6’2″ and not terribly flexible, and I my back would always start hurting after a few minutes of sitting meditation. I went to a class on posture for meditating, and the instructor immediately saw my problem: I needed something higher, and firmer, than the standard cushion.This zafu has changed my practice. It’s comfortable, and firm, which has been key in helping me achieve a better posture. I can easily sit upright, without slumping, and without pain – and that encourages me to meditate more often. After a year, it hasn’t softened or lost its shape. I’m delighted with it, and I can’t recommend it enough.

Excellent Zafu
I am impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of this Zafu Cushion. I do a combination of practice and teaching of over 4-6 hours per day on this cushion and it holds up to my needs. I would recommend getting a Zabuton matt with it. Its nice and large people tall and short alike can use it just fine. I will definitely share their link with others!

Little too tight
Less filling may help to shape the pillow to the butt.

Best on the market
Perfect floor pillow! I have chronic low back pain, exacerbated by carrying around toddler grandkids and sitting on the hard floor with them. This allows me to play at their level with zero back pain. It’s very firm but with just enough give to release pressure on my spine. It’s tall enough to get up and down from easily, and wide enough to function as extra seating in our living room (yet slips easily under the coffee table.) It’s well crafted with durable fabric and a handy little strap built in so it can easily be carried from room to room.

Superb Zafu, very large, but cover can not be removed for washing
This is a great cushion, but I had a second cover made for it, just like the one that comes on it, but with a drawstring instead of a zipper. There is no way you can wash the cover on it; as soon as you start to unzip the zipper all the buckwheat streams out. Have fun putting it all back in if you actually wash that cover. My seamstress made a second cover to match the original one with a drawstring on it, that sits underneath. Now I can meditate and can throw the cover in the washer occasionally very easily. It’s the biggest cushion out there and I got the jumbo Zabuton as well, it fits my long legs. Very, very happy with my purchase. However, to encourage the merchant to offer this with a true removable cover, I have given it four stars.

Buckwheat hull or kapok?
This is my second ZafuStore large zafu. My first one was the kapok stuffed one. It has held up very well, but after losing weight I felt it was too firm. The buckwheat hull version continues with being an excellent choice for my 6’6″ height but with a little more give for comfort during long sits.

a fine zafu
this is the zafu i’ve been looking for (and just didn’t know it). as a 6′ 3″ man, i love the additional height this zafu offers, and it’s well-made; i’ve used mine quite a bit since i bought it about a year ago, and it shows no appreciable signs of wear. gratitude!
