For a deep meditation practice, it's important to maintain good posture and allow energy to circulate properly, especially around the spine. Meditation cushions are very practical for this purpose. A good meditation cushion needs to be not only the right height and shape, but also the right padding. At Atelier Cocon, we stuff our cushions with spelt husk or kapok, as these two plant-based materials make perfect stuffing for sitting meditation.

Organic spelt husk

Cultivated in the Moroccan Rif, spelt is considered to be the ancestor of wheat.spelt husk is the envelope covering the hulled seed.

Hypoallergenic and moisture-repellent, the spelt husk provides a firm, stable base for an upright posture and a good flow of energy.

It is highly appreciated by meditation practitioners and professionals, and is recommended for people who want to challenge themselves.

 kapok

Derived from the Kapok tree, Kapok is a hypoallergenic, biodegradable and rot-proof plant wool.

Meditation cushions stuffed with Kapok are less dense and softer than spelt, making them more comfortable, especially if you also wish to use the cushion for relaxed sitting.

Now that you know more about these different fillings, choose the meditation cushion with the most suitable filling for you!
