PERFECT!
I am 5'4, 135 lbs, and somewhat flexible, but I have terrible posture. This cushion is PERFECT for me! I love how small it is and it really does correct my back when sitting on it. I'm so glad I also watched a YouTube video on the correct way of sitting, too, which is with your knees pointing down and away from body, hitting on the floor. What a difference!I attached some photos of the difference between the Santori and the Peace Yoga. It's a His and Hers set that I bought for my husband and me. Since he's less flexible, he needs the extra height on the Peace Yoga one. He's 6'0", 180 lbs, and not very flexible. It's too high for me, I prefer the Santori!

I have had this item now for about ten days. I've been sitting meditation for several decades; so, I know good Zafu and other kinds of meditation cushions. I love this one because it is ergonomically sound, small enough to carry with me when I travel and helps my posture while sitting Zazen! I recommend this product highly to anyone who wishes to have a smaller version of a meditation cushion! I can store it along with my kneeling bench easily, and it seems like a great addition to my meditative practice! Try it! You'll like it! Happy meditating!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for getting into a meditation posture
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2016
Verified Purchase
In trying to become more serious about my new hobby of mindfulness meditation, I thought a specially cushion or seat might be in order for comfort reasons. I like this one because the inner buckwheat filling is contained in its own pouch within the pillow. Some other pillows I looked at required you to dump out the buckwheat when you want to launder the outer case, potentially making a mess.

It's also very simple. It seems rather small and is simply a crescent shaped pillow with a little strap for a handle. The filling isn't too firm and has just the right amount of give when sitting on it. For the most comfortable posture, one needs to sit somewhat forward on the cushion in a cross legged manner. This allows your pelvis to be more open as it sits slightly higher than your knees. The rest of your body falls into place, especially your spine and upper body. I find I'm able to meditate longer than before, and focus less on my physical comfort and more on my breathing, meditating, etc.

A good buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Please be sure the size fits you!
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2017

This cushion was used on a 5 day meditation retreat. Overall, I would give it 5 stars for the quality and durability. The inner lining that contains the buckwheat hulls is great, and makes it easy to remove the outer cover to clean. The zipper is very fine and well placed, and large enough to access most of the hulls at once.

The cushion is SMALL however, and I should have paid more attention to the size when purchasing it. I'm a medium sized guy, 33 waist and 5'8" in height, and found that sitting on it for long periods was very uncomfortable for me. I had to add folded blankets to add height for comfort. So I ended up returning it and getting a larger one, which I'm very happy with. I'm not going to downgrade the Satori zafu rating however, as it is fantastic for what it is. Just be sure you are aware of the size!!

5.0 out of 5 stars a right size meditation pillow (for me)
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2020
Verified Purchase
After using average size pillows for 20 years, I wanted a smaller pillow that raises my spine up slightly to create a comfortable posture for meditation. My goal, in buying this pillow, was to have a pillow that I don't remember I am sitting on. This turned out to be just that pillow. It is comfortable, adjusts to the body, light and no there once I am in position. I also very happy that it has an inner shell and a cover; most pillows I used only had one skin and every 3-4, just when I was getting comfortable with the lived in feel of the pillow, the shell would wear out and I would find little buckwheat shell pieces sticking on my feet everywhere until I guessed and look for the the small, worn breach in the shell. I hoping this would not be the case with this one.

This works perfectly for me. This is my second cushion and I think the only way to find what works for you is to try a few. If you typically prefer a larger cushion, this may not be the one for you. This cushion gives me just the right amount of support and covers a small surface area. If you can sit on the floor without a cushion, but need something minimal that corrects your posture and prevents slumping, this is it. I could sit on it for over an hour continuously with ease.

Also, I can see myself traveling with this one. The removable cover is a plus for washing. Happy with the purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, comfortable cushion
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2016

Good, comfortable cushion... not too mushy, hopefully that will hold up over time. in my opinion better than kapok-stuffed cushions. It was smaller than i expected front-to-back, but that wasn't really a detriment in my case as i sit towards the front of a cushion anyway. I also have a very small and thin build. For bigger people or people who sit right in the middle of a cushion make sure you check the dimensions and confirm that it will work for you. It seems a bit pricey given the size, but that said, i was satisfied enough to get a second one for another location.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect low meditation cushion
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2017
Verified Purchase
I've been meditating for years now and have reached a place of flexibility where I only need the slightest amount of support in elevating my hips to make long meditation stints comfortable. This cushion from Satori is perfect. I've tried several other cushions from various top manufacturers and they are either too big, to high, or too heavy. I travel often and attend annual, multi-day retreats and need a cushion that won't weigh me down and this fits the bill. Removing some of the buckwheat hulls to make it comfortable was simple and the cushion fits just right. It is small and low so if you have a wide pelvic girdle or tight/inflexible knees and hips then this may not be the right cushion for you but if you are average build or smaller with a decent amount of flexibility then I think you will really like this cushion. I've already tested it out in a two day retreat and it was just heavenly.
