When most people think about meditation, they think about silence, breath, or stillness. But there's one foundational element that often gets overlooked: the cushion you sit on.

At 44 Originals, we believe that how you sit matters just as much as what you’re thinking — or not thinking — during your meditation practice. A proper cushion supports your spine, grounds your body, and helps you find comfort in stillness.

1. Posture Affects Presence

Your posture directly impacts your ability to stay focused and calm. A slouched back or aching knees can quickly pull you out of the moment. Our pyramid-shaped meditation cushions are thoughtfully designed to help align your spine and keep your hips elevated for natural posture support.

2. Comfort Creates Consistency

Meditation is a daily practice, and like any habit, comfort makes it sustainable. When you look forward to sitting down — not dreading discomfort — you're more likely to stay consistent. Our cushions are filled with buckwheat chaff, which molds to your body while still providing firm support.

3. Aesthetic Encourages Ritual

Design matters. If your cushion is beautiful, you’re more likely to create a space around it — a small sacred corner in your room that invites stillness. With bold orange stitching and neutral tones, 44 Originals cushions not only serve function but also inspire an environment of peace and presence.

So next time you meditate, don’t just think about your breath — think about your base. Your cushion could be the key to deeper practice.
