Meditation Bench- Acacia wood

You know, my ego was attatched to sitting on a cushion for a while... for some reason i thought it was “better” or more “authentic”... But once thise silly notions went away I decided to try one of the meditation benches at my temple... and as expected they are extremely comfortable when compared to a buckwheat zafu... It wven feels like cheating too... hahaha that’s still just part of my notions ... but anyway, this bench is amazing! It doesn’t only have 2 sizes, you can really rock it a little bit and get any height imaginable... I use it regular when not on zabuton and on the High mode when on zabuton... otherwise my feet would get crushed if I didn’t have that option! And it’s not a rough slanted plank... it’a nice and rounded and it locks into position... very stable! And when I do my Sutra Study I use it as my little table and sit on a cushion! (See pictures) If you are looking for a meditation bench aeriously look no further... this one rocks... If you are looking to enhance your meditation experience... aomething more comfortable and more stable than a buckwheat zafu. Than please try this bench! If your legs hurt and distract you from your practice this is the best option... I also recommend memory foam zafu’s rather than the traditional buckwheat, I always slide down with the buckwheat ones... very unstable. But yes, very happy with this bench! High quality, looks good, feels good... amazing!

This meditation bench is not only beautiful to look at, it is sturdy and makes my meditaion session quite comfortable.I'm 5 foot 9 with severe fibromyalgia and this bench is perfect for my height.Ive meditated for years but with my fibro its been difficult with a zabuton safu combo because of my knees hurting so bad. I was introduced to a bench the other day and found this one for a great price.I have to use the high side of the legs for my height so my ankles will fit under the bench. The legs have two heights low and high.This bench has made my meditation sessions painless and comfortable, plus its nice how you spine instantly alignes perfectly once you sit down.I reccomend this bench. It's great!

Some have claimed that suffering is not required for enlightenment. This works for me both as a posture aid and an aesthetic object. Costs some money, but what the hell. Won't last forever, but will most likely outlast you. Just don't get attached to it.

I have been using this bench for just over a month for my daily meditations, and I am finding it to be very comfortable. I have some issues with my knees, and this bench relaxes the angle of my knee bend, alleviating pressure. In re some of the other reviews I have read about this bench, I have not experienced any issues with it sliding out from under me or anything of the sort. It feels solid beneath me and does not move. I should note that I am using it on a carpeted surface.

This bench is a game changer for my meditation. It is very comfortable & allows you to sit in a perfectly supported kneeling position. The current bottoms on the legs allowed the bench to angle forward & put your hips in the right alignment. I have problems with my hips & knees and have a hard time in any other position when meditating. I'm 5'8 and for me the height seems to be perfect. It's so much easier to get in the meditation zone when your body is comfortable. And the price is very reasonable. There is no need to spend $100+ on a meditation bench.

The bench is comfortable and we'll built. It works both for sitting and kneeling. The only problem is the bottom of the legs are so smooth, it wants to slide away.This is easily fixed with some carpet grip pads, which I bought from Amazon and trimmed to size.

I tore both my ACLs as a teenager and as I've aged, sitting criss-cross can become very uncomfortable. Finding comfort to sit for long periods of time to meditate became a chore, until I found this bench! It takes the weight off so sitting is more comfortable. This product is durable and very well made!I will say that if you have arthritic knees or poor mobility, you might need a higher height as I get a good quad stretch at this angle. If my knees are a little inflamed, it can sometimes be irritating. Try out different heights to make sure you're not causing more harm.

Before this came in the mail, my shins hurt and my feet were scrunched up and owwy but NO MORE because now I have my cool Meditation Bench.Truly. I'm not joking. This is a nice item! I'm very pleased!Also, this may seem like a rather plebeian thing to say BUT ...It's a very nice looking little item too! :DI don't know why anyone would have issues using this wonderful little meditation bench. A few people wrote that it "slipped" or they felt it wasn't really all that well made.I disagree. It didn't slip on me and I've given the bench a thorough once over and, really, for 43 bucks this is a STEAL!If you're having issues with slipping, look at the pictures I took. I used a small square piece of foam (approx 3" x 23" x 23") and put it in a pillowcase and then just set the bench on it. I think that would do the job for people who have said it "slipped." ALSO? Putting that little piece of foam down is a little extra boost for the comfort of your shins (against a hard floor).IF someone wants something that is hand carved out of mahogany or rosewood with sacred symbols all over it, etc? That's fine but it won't work any better than this one does and it'll cost you LOTS of money. Besides, they're all made for one reason - to relieve your legs and back of unnecessary discomfort.This one sure did the trick for me. I couldn't be happier. :D

well made, well balanced. this should last a long long time
