Description

The Tibetan Seat, known sometimes as a Gomden, is a firm rectangular zafu developed by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and used in Shambala Centers worldwide. We use our 100% cotton duck fabric shell over a firm and comfortable foam block. Our foam is easy on your behind, and firm enough to provide you with the support you need – we admit it, we think it’s just right!

This cushion has a comfy quilted top and carrying handle. The Tibetan Seat comes in four handsome color combinations – Black with Blue, Black with Burgundy, Black with Black.

It should be noted that this cushion does not replace our round or crescent shaped zafus. The Tibetan Seat is used differently. When sitting on it, the meditator’s feet and ankles touch the zabuton or carpeted floor, but the knees do not. This is particularly helpful for those who aren’t flexible enough to get their knees to the floor. The Seat serves as a relaxed platform for meditation, listening to talks, or studying at a low table.

The Tibetan Seat measures 16.5” wide, 12.5” deep, 6.5” high. The shell is removable and machine washable.

  1. The instructions I have are to find a seat that allows your knees to be lower than your hips and settle those sit bones so your back is strong like a tree trunk, and your front softly open. I have watched meditators enter the hall and go from cushion to cushion with their toes checking the firmness of each gomden. If what they are looking for is a firm ‘ride’ like I am, this is the seat they will settle into. This seat placates the seven points of posture. I highly recommend them!

  2. For me, this is the perfect firmness. I am able to be extremely comfortable for meditations of any length.

  3. Beautifully made, but unfortunately it was too firm for me so I am returning it.

  4. Amazing! Very well made, comfortable, and durable. Just what I need to support my practice.

  5. Works great!
