Many people pair tai chi and qigong with a few quiet minutes of seated meditation or breathing. A firm meditation cushion (zafu) lifts your hips so the knees can rest lower and the back stays upright. The picks below are buckwheat and foam cushions in different heights and sizes.

What to look for

  • Fill: buckwheat hulls are firm and mold to shape; foam is softer and quieter.
  • Height and width: taller cushions suit stiffer hips.
  • Cover: a removable, washable cover is easier to keep clean.
  • Portability: a carry handle helps if you practice in a park or class.
