Kapok ZABUTON
YOGA MEDITATION CUSHION
Kapok Zabuton - INSERT ONLY!
(25"W x 25"L x 3"H)
A zabuton is a Japanese cushion for sitting. In Zen meditation, practitioners sit on zafu, which is typically placed on top of a zabuton. They provide cushioning to your knees, ankles, and legs when used for meditation. The zabuton is the everyday cushion found in homes, also used for eating, watching television, reading at the kotatsu, and other daily activities.
Kapok Fiber
Kapok is a natural fiber that comes from the Ceiba Tree in Central America. Kapok fibers come from the trees' seed pods, which shed seasonally, meaning there is no machinery required to harvest it.
With a silky and fluffy consistency, kapok has the benefits of being fluffy like down, but plant-based like cotton, making it a wonderful vegan down alternative.

White Lotus Home has been handcrafting Yoga, Meditation, and Massage equipment for decades. We use all-natural and organic fibers and fabrics, including organic cotton, kapok, and buckwheat hulls. Our Zabutons and Zafus are in use by yoga studios and students around the world, and our neck rolls are favored by medical practitioners and chiropractors.
As they are raw, minimally processed fibers, our products cannot be completely submerged in water without damaging the fibers within. This includes pillows and duvets.
We recommend spot cleaning your White Lotus Home pillows, duvets, and bedding with a solution of 3 parts water to one part vinegar. Spray the solution onto the stain and expose to sunlight. Let dry and repeat until the stain fades and odors dissipate. You can also substitute vinegar with a mild laundry detergent. For surface stains, hydrogen peroxide works well for blood, whereas rubbing alcohol can help to remove oils from cosmetics.
Bedding should not remain damp, as it may encourage uneven wear or mold growth. Following a spill or cleaning, dry any moisture by placing the item in the sun or by using a hair dryer. Ensure it is fully dry before re-adding sheets or protective covers, such as our Organic Barrier Cloth Covers.Please note that these suggestions are at your own risk. Results may vary.Refreshing Pillows & Duvets
Some fibers, particularly kapok, can absorb the natural oils that keep our face and skin healthy. To restore loft and fluffiness, pillows may be placed in the dryer on the "Cold Air/ Fluff" setting for 15 to 20 minutes. Specially-designed wool dryer balls or clean tennis balls can aid in fluffing the inner fibers. To prevent any damage to the inner fibers, never use a heated setting.
Refreshing Wool BeddingWool bedding, such as duvets and toppers, occasionally requires special care. We recommend exposing it to direct sunlight and air once a month --- sunlight works as a natural sanitizer. If you prefer to send them to the cleaners, use a dry-cleaning process only. Never submerge wool bedding in water or place it in the washing machine, as this can cause irreversible felting of the wool.
