I received products from Sun and Moon Originals for this review. All opinions are my own.

I’ve been meditating for awhile now, and more recently have made it a regular practice. I love the many benefits of meditation, including increased mental focus and clarity, reduced stress and much more. I also use it as a spiritual practice. However, I tend to just sit on the couch, or on the floor when I meditate, and I wanted a better meditation experience. I was really excited to have come across Sun and Moon Originals, which has lots of yoga and meditation accessories, and their own, unique Cosmic Cushion for meditation. A yoga or meditation accessory from Sun and Moon Originals would make a great gift this holiday season!

I received the following from Sun and Moon Originals for review:

I received the Cosmic Cushion, in Burgundy and Royal Blue. They are both regular loft, and the burgundy Cosmic Cushion has a Buckwheat filling and the other Kapok.

I started using the cushion right away, and have used both to see which filling I like better. The Buckwheat filling is heavier, and more like a bean bag chair, or a more traditional meditation cushion. The Kapok filling is lighter and more couch cushion-like. I quickly found that while I had used more Buckwheat filled meditation cushions before, that I preferred the Kapok filling.

The cushions are both pretty light, and easily portable and storable. The cushions have a strap on the back that make them easy to pick up and carry around. It was really easy to make any space a meditation space with this cushion, and it is definitely a cushion I wouldn’t mind carrying with me to meditate outdoors with.

I really liked the versatility of this cushion. There are a few different ways to sit on it, all of which are really comfortable. My fiance sat flat atop it, with his feet flat on the insides of the cushion. I sat atop it at more of a slope, with my knees touching the ground. Either way was very comfortable.

The Cosmic mediation cushion also helps keep your spine straight when you meditate. I often have a hard time keeping a strong, straight posture. I often slope or curve my back after awhile of meditating, but this cushion makes it really easy to keep your back straight while meditating, even if meditating for an hour or more.

I did find that I had to shift my position every now and then to keep my foot from falling asleep while using the cushion. I also found that if I sat in a half lotus, that this was greatly reduced. I typically like to meditate for an hour without much movement, but to remain fully comfortable I do have to change my position slightly every now and then. However, this is to be expected from any cushion. And since it relieved a lot of back and thigh pain while meditating, it’s definitely a major improvement!

One of these cushions was an early present for my fiance. He really enjoyed the Cosmic Cushion and did not have any problems with it. His feet didn’t fall asleep, and he really enjoyed it. He found that he prefers the firmer Buckwheat filling, and he really enjoyed having this for his meditation sessions. He uses it all the time now!

Overall, I really enjoyed the cosmic cushion from Sun and Moon Originals. I really like how easy it is to use, and how versatile it is. I like that you can choose between different fillings, as well as lofts in order to get the perfect cushion just for you.  This cushion has definitely enhanced my meditation experience! Sun and Moon Originals also has lots of body work and yoga accessories that would make great gifts this holiday season. And best of all, all of their products come at really great, competitive prices! If you know any meditation or yoga lovers on your list, you should definitely check them out!
