inflatable pillow as meditation cushion

I’ve seen these. Can’t vouch for them

Better to think in the other direction. Buy an inflatable sit pad to also use as a pillow. A pillow will never hold up to the weight of being sit on. The S2S Air Seat (2.5 oz) is 2″ thick so just deflate it a little and fold it in half. Then keep it together with a DIY pillow case. https://www.backcountrygear.com/air-seat/

Great ideas. Thank you!

Paul, I saw the Zafu and it looks like a playground ball with a pleated pillow case LOL.

have you used it?

thanks for the suggestion

I brought it to Nepal for 5 weeks and thought I would meditate alot..but didn’t. It was o.k. for meditating, it could use an internal baffle or two! I would say that it’s more for sitting than a pillow for sure.

if you can find an old rei flash inflatable sit pad they make a nice pillow when buttoned in half.

I’ve seen a number of Zafu at retreats over the years. I think they would be better with a good quality foam top. A backpacking pillow would likely not hold up for long as they are made to be lightweight.
