Walden Review: Meditation Cushion + Mat Set

I've tried more meditation cushions than I care to admit, and most end up flat and lumpy within a month. Walden's Original Meditation Cushion + Mat Set caught my attention because it's handcrafted in Brooklyn from actual buckwheat hulls instead of cheap synthetic fill, so I had to check it out for myself.

Key Features & Details

The set pairs Walden's signature cushion with your choice of a medium or large mat. The cushion is filled with natural, hypoallergenic washed buckwheat hulls that mold to your body, then topped with a layer of gel-infused memory foam for extra cushioning. The mat underneath supports your ankles and knees so longer sits don't leave you sore. Everything is upholstered in an anti-microbial fabric, which makes wipe-down cleaning simple. You can see the full set in action on the Walden product page.
