There are many touted benefits to meditation, both psychological and even physiological, but very few people actually adopt the practice, let alone stick to it. Similar to the advice about eating vegetables, it’s easier said than done, and many people find it difficult to maintain focus for even a few minutes. Locking yourself up in a room might be relatively easy, but finding a comfortable position and a comfortable seat is actually harder than it sounds. And just like with eating vegetables, what you need is some special ingredient that will make the experience more enjoyable. This meditation cushion is that special sauce that will make you feel like you’re peacefully floating among the clouds.

Most advice for those just starting out with meditation involves simply using what’s already there, like a comfortable chair or even a floor cushion. The suggestion is meant to assure beginners that you don’t need any special or expensive equipment to get started, removing part of their hesitation to even try meditating. That said, the common advice also takes for granted that not all seats are properly designed to induce a relaxed state needed for meditation, and if you’re not careful, you could even cause some injury to your body in the process.
But if you think that the solution involves some hi-tech chair with fancy and confusing features, you might be shocked at how unassuming and nondescript the Float cushion actually looks. Its simplicity not only belies the intelligence of its design but also matches the spirit of the activity itself. It doesn’t look visually overwhelming and doesn’t get in your way, allowing you to focus on finding inner peace while your body remains comfortable and protected.

Seated Position – Float supports legs, hips, and thighs to help create proper body alignment when meditating in a seated position. Float raises the hips slightly, preventing the compression of nerves and blood vessels in the legs.
Part of Float’s magic is its rather irregular form, specially designed to support the lower back and keep the shoulders upright while sitting on the ground during meditation. It might also not look like it, but the cushion supports the two most common seating positions during meditation, sitting crossed-leg or kneeling in Seiza form. In both cases, the form of the cushion guides the proper position of the legs so that no nerves, blood vessels, or joints are compressed, which could lead to discomfort and injury.

Seiza Position – While sitting in Seiza, with the legs tucked underneath the body, the downward sloping design provides relief from back pain. With the posture aligned, the body tall, and the joints decompressed, the abdominal core is strengthened.
It might also not look like it, but the cushion is actually made from high-quality molded viscoelastic memory foam that is comfortable to sit on but still manages to keep its shape for a very long time. This is no trivial feature because it means that the Float won’t be finding its way into landfills far longer than typical cushions. You can have peace of mind knowing that you aren’t contributing to the world’s trash problem while you try to achieve inner peace.
Its surface is covered with a furniture-grade 100% polyester fabric that uses a micro-suede texture to give it a premium feel. It isn’t all just looks, though, as the material is durable as well as stain and water-resistant. That means it should survive an accident outdoors, but if you really need to pick it up to transfer locations quickly, the hallow cutout makes it a breeze to carry the cushion.
You might not need specialized equipment to get started on meditation, but even experts know what a big difference a comfortable and ergonomic seat could make. With its simple yet ingenious design, high-quality materials, and stylish looks, the Float Meditation Cushion will make you look forward to every meditation session. Who knows? You might not even want to get up anymore because of how much it makes you feel like you’re floating on cloud nine.
