Create a more grounded and comfortable meditation space with the Nidraya Buckwheat Hull Filled Meditation Zabuton. Designed to provide a supportive base beneath your body, this generously cushioned floor seat helps make meditation, pranayama, yoga and mindful sitting more comfortable.

Filled with natural buckwheat hulls, the Zabuton offers a firm yet responsive feel that adapts to the body while providing stable support. Unlike overly soft floor cushions, buckwheat hull filling helps maintain structure while allowing subtle movement and adjustment during longer sitting sessions.

Use the Zabuton on its own for floor sitting and meditation, or pair it with a Nidraya Zafu Meditation Cushion to create a complete meditation seating system. The Zafu helps elevate the hips while the Zabuton provides a comfortable base beneath the knees, ankles and feet.

Its warm, earthy aesthetic makes it equally suited to a home meditation corner, yoga room, wellness studio or peaceful reading space.
