MABOZOO Yoga Bolster Pillow, Rectangular Yoga Bolster for Restorative Yoga & Meditation, Professional Meditation Cushion with Carry Handle, 27"X10"X6"

My first reactions to the pillow and packaging: The navy color is true to what is pictured, and the velvet material is very soft. There was a plastic packaging smell when I opened the vacuum seal package, but it faded the same day and I could use it that evening without issue. The cover comes off very easily for cleaning, which is a huge plus for me.As a yoga/stretching pillow, I like the support of the foam. Lying down with the pillow under my back feels great, and the nice thing is that it doesn’t flatten the pillow out after lying on it for a few hours. I can feel a nice stretch in a few different positions with it either horizontally or vertically under my back. FYI, it’s not so firm that it doesn’t squish down at all when a lot of your body weight is on it, but there’s still plenty of support and regains its shape afterwards. It’s probably squishier than more of a structured rectangular shape foam might be if your goal is to hold yourself level or your limbs level without a lot of give from your support pillow.My main use is as support for side sleeping with the pillow held to my chest. It definitely keeps my shoulders and back from curling in as much while I sleep, which is exactly what I need. I’ve tried full length body pillows and pregnancy pillows before to help, but this pillow is a lot simpler to sleep with than either of those. It’s a lot less bulky to deal with at night, plus takes up less space when you want to put it away. I was surprised to find that the velvet isn’t too hot at night and is breathable like the description. Rather, I find it much cooler than using a fuzzier body pillow, and it holds its form a lot better as well.I could see myself getting another to have one only for sleeping and a separate one for stretching.

I had the chance to use the MABOZOO Yoga Bolster Pillow, and while it’s marketed as a yoga bolster, I found it to be a bit softer than what I would expect from a traditional bolster. It feels more like a super comfy, long pillow that works great for support during activities like watching TV or just lounging around.That said, the quality is impressive. The mix of foam sponge and PP cotton keeps it soft but durable, and it doesn't lose its shape even after regular use. The crystal velvet cover is a highlight for me—breathable, soft to the touch, and easy to clean. You can remove it to hand wash or toss it in the machine on a gentle cycle, which makes maintenance a breeze.Size-wise, it's perfect. At 27.5" x 10" x 6", it’s large enough to support different yoga poses, but its softness makes it better suited for relaxation, back support, or even meditation.If you're looking for a firm yoga bolster, this might not be your go-to. But as a multipurpose pillow for comfort and light yoga support, it’s a winner.

Way too soft for being a yoga bolster. It is just a rectangle pillow. Read the review and trust them, it will save you a return process!

The picture shows a blue bolster with a lotus pattern. What I received was just dark navy blue. I liked the pattern and that was my primary reason for choosing this over other option.

I am a yoga teacher, and this isn't really a yoga bolster. It is very soft and doesn't provide support needed. The cover is a nice blue plush, but is not removable. If you are buying for personal use that may not be an issue, but if you want to share with other people you will need to add a washable cover to make it hygienic.It came tightly packed with air removed, and I gave it several days to expand. The plush cover remains very wrinkled from packing, so probably needs to be steamed to look nice (again, you can't throw it in the wash).I am going to use it on my bed. It's a nice snuggle pillow. I can also see my cats taking to it, but I wouldn't use if for yoga or meditation purposes.
