A floor pillow is a cushion for sitting on the floor, for meditation, reading, yoga or extra living room seating. Small round buckwheat cushions raise the hips for cross-legged sitting. Large memory foam cushions work more like casual floor seating.
The six pillows below range from a small buckwheat zafu to a 32 inch floor cushion pair. Sizes, fillings and covers come from each product’s listing page. We have not used these cushions ourselves. We make no health claims; any meditation or wellness wording is the makers’.
