Pipersong Meditation Chair, Home Office Desk Chair, Cross Legged Chair with Lumbar Support and Adjustable Stool, Flexible Design for Fidgety Sitters, Black

Product Information

I would prefer the footrest to move all the way around from either side, and not stop abruptly. It's bigger than your average office chair Comfort is essential. Indeed, in Thich Nhat Hanh’s book How To Sit he says that the most important thing about a meditator’s position is that they are comfortable. Yet at the same time, we must be attentive. As Zen Master Maezumi Roshi says, “Mere physical sitting is not enough. You have to sit carefully and attentively. Let your body and breathing sit. Let your mind and emotions sit. Let your blood circulation sit. Let everything sit. Then your sitting becomes indestructible, immovable.”

If you have a small office to begin with, the chair with attached footstool will take up a good amount of floor space, even if you push the footstool to the side. Since the footstool is attached to the chair, you can’t remove it or put it away if you ever want to use the chair just as a regular chair. As a nice bonus, it comes with a complimentary bag for travelling, and it is fully foldable. All in all, this is a great seat for taller people and those who like to travel.If you work in an open office, you may need to be creative to find a quiet place to practice. Many people have told me that they’re best able to do this practice by leaving their office and finding an empty conference room, or even leaving the building to sit in their car during part of their lunch break. Designed by a registered yoga teacher and Osho facilitator, this large meditation chair (with an even larger name) fits people up to 6 foot 2 inches, which makes it one of the best chairs for tall people. Although I will say that I still meditate lying down sometimes. Sometimes I just dont feel like sitting. And that’s fine. Indeed, lying down is the position used in the Body Scan meditation created by Jon Kabat Zinn [American professor emeritus of medicine and the creator of the Stress Reduction Clinic and the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society at the University of Massachusetts Medical School].

It features six different positions and can even be laid down completely flat so you can lie on it. Design-wise it looks subtle and modern if that’s your style, and the reinforced steel means it is plenty durable enough. It also has a machine washable removable faux leather cover so you can wash it easily if you spill your smoothie on it. On the negative side, some people have said that it is not the best meditation chair for a large person.

What are the benefits of meditation?

Meditation chairs are one of the essential tools for your studio. I recommended my meditation students get both a seat and a cushion. Both are reasonably inexpensive items, and both will do wonders for you.

I find that this isn’t the easiest floor lounger to clean because you can’t remove the cover and instead you need to spot clean it, which is a chore. Monk & Llama Meditation Bench - Foldable, Ergonomic, Bamboo Kneeling Stool with Extra Comfortable...My existing office chair isn't all that accommodating to my preferred positions, so when I heard about the Pipersong Meditation Chair I find this seat great for performing Seiza meditation position, although I will warn you that it has wheels so you might find yourself sliding about a bit. Zen’s Bamboo floor chair

The Dragonn ergonomic kneeling chair is great for improving meditation positions and reducing slouching. The manufacturer specifically states that it is a good substitution for your regular office chair.

When you’re looking to buy cheap furniture, you won’t get everything. With a cheap one, you have to choose between design and comfort (choose comfort; after all, this is for meditating, not decorative furniture). FLEXIBLE TO SWITCH: Designed with the 360-degree swivel footstool, it gives you more freedom to sit. Besides switching from different unique positions, when you are not in the mood to sit casually or want to sit as usual for a while, you can always turn it aside and use it as an ordinary chair. If you’re having trouble choosing between a meditation chair or bench, take into account your preferred meditation position and any specific body pains you may have. Both styles can improve your practice, but the best meditation chair is going to be different for everyone. There are lots of different types of chairs (Chakra, Dhyana, lotus, Nori, Osho, Tibetan). Still, regardless of the specific style and design, they should all offer the same benefits, which we’ve looked at above.
