Zabuton meditation mat

This large, flat cushion provides essential padding and insulation for knees, ankles, and feet during seated meditation or floor exercises.

A zabuton meditation mat is a large, flat cushion placed on the floor under a zafu or used on its own for seated practice. It suits someone who meditates for longer sessions on hard floors, since it pads the knees, ankles and feet and completes a home meditation corner.

Why zabuton meditation mat make a good gift

  • It pairs naturally with a zafu, so it rounds out a meditation seat already owned.
  • The padding makes floor sitting more comfortable on hardwood, tile or thin carpet.
  • It doubles as floor seating or a stretching pad when not used for meditation.

What to look for

  • Check the size, since square mats around 70 to 80 centimetres fit most seated postures.
  • Compare the filling, as cotton batting is firm and dense while foam is lighter.
  • Look for a removable, washable cover and colours that match any existing zafu cushion.
