The meditation pillow is used to support the body in a restful position, which enhances the breathing and stimulates the relaxation response. This is attained with a seat that tilts the pelvis forward. Thus meditation pillows used keep the hips higher than the knees and maintain the natural S-shaped curvature of the spine.

Each person has different body-postures and own individual sitting style, according to which the meditation pillows are chosen. There are different kinds of meditation pillows, which are as follows-

Smile Cushion-These provide more surface to sit in a cross-legged posture. The smile cushins also provide more height than any other cushions.

Zafu-This is a beanbag-shaped round supporting cushion used in Japanese Zen Buddhist tradition. Zafus are made from cotton and organic buckwheat hulls. The design features a hidden pleat to allow removal of the filling when the cushion needs washing. The Zafus have integral carving handle and are portable.

Meditation Bench-Meditation bench or Seiza bench provide facility while sitting in a kneeling position. A bench cushion is also available separately, which has velcros for strapping. This cushion makes the bench much more comfortable.

Zabuton- It is a sitting mat that provides essential cushioning for the knees, legs, ankles and feet. It also holds the cushion or bench more securely which results in a more stable and grounded posture.

Support Cushion-This is placed under a Zafu or a smile cushion to attain much height. It can also be placed under knee or lap to rest the hands on. Generally larger people who need more height use it. These are also useful during sky position.

Tilt Seat-This type of seat provides seat for the meditation practitioners at the height of chair or at a bit higher position. This works great for a `sky-posture` or meditating while seated at a table, specially when one fills problem in sitting down and getting up from the floor.
