Zabuton Meditation Cushion - Kapok Filled

Zabuton cushion sizes: 48, 50 and 70 cm

A zabuton is the flat, square mat that goes under a zafu, so your knees and ankles rest on the mat rather than on a bare floor. Our zabutons come in three footprints. BEN YA PA and A CHI RA are 48 cm (18 in) square, PHA NA and WA SI NEE are 50 cm (20 in), and PHONG PHIR, KHA CHA THARN, PA THA PEE, WIT CHA PHON, WI KUN DA and WAN RA PHA are 70 cm (28 in). Each lists a 6 cm (2 in) height. The 48 and 50 cm mats fit a small corner, while the 70 cm mats cover more floor around your cushion. To see how the two pieces work together, read our guide to what a zafu is.

Kapok zabuton mats and what the listings say

Every zabuton here is filled with natural kapok. PA THA PEE gives the fullest material details: kapok stuffing, a double seamed cotton cover and a mattress thickness of 4.5 cm (2 in). BEN YA PA is titled a kapok zabuton, and both BEN YA PA and A CHI RA describe a natural filling with a soft cover. Not every listing names its cover fabric, so check each product page if the cover matters to you. Every zabuton is handmade in Thailand and ships from there.

Roll up zabuton and mat designs

If storage space is tight, PA THA PEE is the roll up zabuton. Its listing describes rolling it up for storage or travel, at 70 by 20 by 20 cm (28 by 8 by 8 in) when rolled, and names brown and red in its color details. For pattern, KHA CHA THARN carries an elephant design in black and red, and WIT CHA PHON a hill tribe batik in black and white. PHONG PHIR is described as minimalist and PHA NA as neutral, while BEN YA PA and A CHI RA mention subtle colors with a minimalist style, so the plainer mats suit a quiet, simple corner.

Using a zabuton as a meditation mat

Pair a mat with one of our zafu meditation cushions for a classic seated setup, or buy both pieces together from our zafu and zabuton sets. The BEN YA PA and A CHI RA listings also suggest their mats for yoga, mindfulness exercises or as a floor seat on their own. For a seat with a backrest, read about meditating with a Thai triangle pillow. We charge nothing for standard shipping on any order. Expect your mat within 2 to 10 business days; import duties, if any, are the buyer's to pay.
