Meditation Bench IKUKO Original, Portable Version with Bag, Hand Made Wooden Kneeling Ergonomic Seiza Seat, Prana Yoga - 2 Colors, 3 Height Sizes

I have a mild scoliosis and have struggled to find a comfortable meditation posture. This has been a godsend! Would have given 5 * but for the cost. Even allowing for the shipping it’s a bit pricey. That said, I took a punt and it payed off.

A little expensive, but high quality. I hurt my back a few years ago and found it hard to sit on a zafu cushion. This is much more comfortable for me. The seat is sloped in such a way as to be perfect for a traditional meditation posture (erect spine, etc.). I got the tallest version of this and it is nice, though it sits a little higher than I was expecting. I am 5'11".

First, this bench is very high quality and is everything as described: Solid but light-weight, comfortable. No padding required. The legs can be removed and all parts put in the linen bag it comes with for easy portability. Personally, I loved this bench from the moment I opened the box but love it even more now that I've experienced an unexpected benefit... I got the standard size to use for my prayer time. I was raised to have and still maintain good posture but I do have heavier thighs, not huge but also not skinny, and unexpectedly tight knees and ankles undoubtedly from injuries sustained playing sports. As such, though the seat itself has always been comfortable, for me, the kneeling position was surprisingly difficult. The discomfort would be so distracting I had to ease off every few minutes for relief. However, with daily use, my knees and ankles have gotten stronger and much more flexible such that I can now sit for an hour or more without discomfort. Now I just need to loose a little fluff off my thighs so that my feet aren't asleep when it's time to stand! Haha. I very much recommend this to anyone that needs to kneel more comfortably.

Love this bench. Handmade in Canada. I wonder if the price will go up? I’m so glad I bought two of these before our lunatic president started a trade war with our friends to the north. Very comfortable bench. I can’t sit in full Lotus or half Lotus or crisscross applesauce for very long without having knee and hip pain. But with this bench, I can sit for a long time with a straight spine. To still your mind, you must first still your body. Meditation is like letting all the snow in a slow globe settle to the bottom

While I don't always use this as a travel meditation stool, I do love having the option. Even after disassembling and reassembling this multiple times, it's still very sturdy and comfortable. Grab one and meditate the day away!
