Alexia Meditation Seat (Vegan Leather, Orange)

I debated purchasing this meditation seat because of the high price. However, due to my runner's knees, I've struggled with sitting for longer meditations (30-45mins) without experiencing knee strain. After looking at this seat for months and doing research on other ergonomic and supportive meditation seats, I finally went for it. I'm so happy that I did because this Alexia meditation seat makes sitting for longer meditations a supportive and pleasant experience. The seat comes in one piece. It's beautifully constructed and hefty. The cushion feels firm but plush. I love how the seat is soft against my ankles when I sit. And when sitting, my buttocks are higher than my knees which relieves any potential pressure. No lower back strain either. I've covered it with a soft blanket, so it's even more plush. The vinyl covering is high quality too. This meditation seat is a piece of furniture; it's presence adds beauty, peace, and ease to my meditation room. The comfortability of the Alexia meditation seat is literally supporting my consistent meditation practice as I enjoy the feel of this seat. It feels like self-care. My only regret is that the orange color was not available when I ordered mine.Update: 12/21/22I am happy to report that my meditation practice has deepened as I have attended an all day virtual meditation retreat. This seat supported my body beautifully for the 6.5 hours of practice that included a total of 1.5 hours of breaks. I’ve been using this seat for long online lectures as well. I’ve registered for my first 8 day virtual meditation retreat. My meditation practice is more at ease as I am able to come into proper pain free alignment. This seat rocks! Actually, it’s still…

I am overweight. It is very uncomfortable for me to sit in a cross leg position but it is really the best position for serious meditation. I have been considering buying a pillow like this for two years but I couldn't risk spending that kind of money on a pillow. I recently took the leap, purchased one and have had this meditation seat for a week. I love it! It is the most comfortable seat I can imagine. I thought it might not be supportive enough. It is perfect...not too hard or soft. It was a good decision and I highly recommend it.

Well, I wish it were cheaper, but this thing is fantastic. I typically need a lumbar support for meditation, but the seat facilitates an elongated-spine posture at an angle that feels healthy and comfortable for my lower back.Whether you have back problems or not, the seat is a treat to use: It’s so cozy and lends itself perfectly to a meditation pose.However, its price makes it more of a bougie splurge if you have the privilege to treat yourself. It doesn’t offer enough practical benefit to invest in on a tight budget; it just feels really good.

It really is very comfortable and attractive. It's also not tiny so be prepared to make space for it but it does come with a dust cover in case you want to store it in a closet or something. It's easy to carry though. I had both hips and a knee replaced after an accident and I needed something to meditate in other than a recliner, desk chair, bed, etc. A bare wood floor is not an option any more and I was sick of stuffing pillows around me ... and I saw this while looking for a meditation cushion or bench. I gasped at the price, read all the reviews and thought about it for a couple of months. Frankly, I'm sorry I didn't buy it sooner. I bought the black vegan leather one but while I was reseaching it, I saw it was at one time available in a beautiful array of colors but oh well. It's actually an attractive item, I just would have loved it in a bright color. It is soooo comfortable and easy for your back to remain straight while in it. If you are hesitating because of the price like I did, don't. It is 100% worth what it cost.

This is one of the best purchases I've made in years. It's a pricey but oh my goodness, it is worth it. I haven't been able to sit on the floor cross legged for several yrs due to inflammation. I have found myself at a stage of life where getting up off the floor is difficult. I have been wanting to get an Asian floor table & a floor chair but I can't sit cross legged for more than 5 mins. Hurts my hips, knees and back. This seat is absolutely amazing. I can do an hour in it & I have only had it for days. It helps with my posture & when I start slumping I correct. I can't rave about this enough. Just buy it!!!

Good materials (faux leather) and stitching. Firm but not too firm. Leg slant and foot “pockets” are well designed. Comfortable. Easy to move around for its size, not heavy. A little expensive, but you get what you pay for.

In my opinion the product is well built with high quality material and very comfortable, it’s a bit pricey but it is a unique item so there’s not a huge selection to choose from.

I have tried many (and some even more expensive) meditation chairs and seats, and there was always some flaw. But this one is the absolute best! No pressure points, no cramping, perfect positioning, and extends my meditations a lot! So glad I finally got this one - worth the cost!
