A zafu is the round cushion you sit on, and a zabuton is the low square mat placed under it. Our single zafus are 20 cm (8 in) or 12 cm (5 in) high, and our zabutons are 48, 50 or 70 cm square, each listed at 6 cm (2 in) high. The CHA NON set listing describes the zabuton as a padded surface beneath your knees and ankles.
Start with seat height. Pick a 20 cm (8 in) zafu to sit higher, or a 12 cm (5 in) zafu to sit closer to the floor, and remember that a zabuton underneath adds its own height, listed at 6 cm (2 in). The mats come in 48, 50 or 70 cm squares, so a larger mat leaves more floor around the cushion. Every product page lists its measurements, so compare them with your space before you order.
Our zabutons and our zafu and zabuton sets are filled with natural kapok, a natural fibre, and so are most of our single zafus. The PA THA PEE zabuton has a cotton cover, and the Thai triangle cushions list kapok with cotton covers. Materials vary between designs, so read each product page for the complete materials.
Yes. Each zafu and zabuton set combines one zafu and one mat; JI RA YA, for example, includes one round zafu cushion and one matching meditation mat. You can also buy the pieces separately and mix sizes, such as a 12 cm (5 in) zafu on a 70 cm (28 in) zabuton. Single zafus and single zabutons are each sold on their own, without the other piece.
