Air Meditator Inflatable Meditation Cushion and Travel Pillow – Meditate on Air in Total Comfort with Adjustable Three-Chamber Design for Enhanced Posture and Portability, Purple

I've used this cushion on several long meditation retreats (5-10 days), using it for maybe 4-5 hours per day before rotating it out with other cushions. I have found the cushion to be very stable and comfortable. In fact, I was surprised to feel how stable it is at all sorts of levels of inflation. I never once felt like it was any less stable than a buckwheat cushion. I also never felt like I was rocking back and forth or side to side like it was some sort of inflatable pool toy. It doesn't make plastic-y noises or anything.Inflating and deflating are extremely simple and intuitive. There's three one-way valves that keeps air in unless you press the valve in for a release. It takes no time at all.I do personally find that a fully inflated cushion is a bit much for me. Maybe it feels too full and hard, maybe too high. I had a lot of luck deflating each of the three compartments about 20%. Sometimes I like the middle compartment to be a bit less inflated than the sides. If you play around with it, you will find a height and hardness that works well with you.This might be advertised as a traveling cushion but it definitely works as an every day cushion too. I used it at home for several months and it was great. It's very high quality and comfort.

I’ve had a few meditation cushions and this is by far my favorite. It’s the perfect firmness, great quality, so easy and quick to inflate and break down for travel. I bring it with me on business trips and vacation. My daughter keeps “borrowing” mine so I ordered her one. Love my purple one. Will order more for gifts for sure. Quick delivery!

Overall the Air Meditator is comfortable to sit on and far better than most of the other portable lightweight options I considered. The main cushion has plenty of air to avoid bottoming out; the forward tilt is great for sitting upright; and the side cushions provide some nice support for the legs.I haven't used it long enough to judge its long-term durability but I (a 235-lb man) was able to sit for an hour without any issues.My biggest complaint is that the air valves are fiddly and there are three of them, making it rather difficult to completely deflate. I think Thermarest-style valves would be an improvement.Getting the product back in its travel pouch was an exercise in absurdity, making the pouch a waste of plastic. I suspect a lot of people will just throw it away. I can only hope it will get easier with practice.

I think it is very comfy and practical, but it has happened to me that if I use it, after a couple of hours it starts to deflate.

I have been using this inflatable zafu for years. I just bought a replacement after I gave mine away to a friend. I have tried many other travel solutions for meditation and none compares (at least if cross-legged is your meditation posture of choice) The three different compartments allow for customization. For instance, as I age, my right knee is a bit stiff. I can inflate that side a bit more than the rest to provide added support to that bad knee. The valves allow for very easy and complete deflation so it takes up very little space when traveling. I have taken it backpacking, snowshoeing, dog sledding, and about everywhere else and it has always held up. Years ago I bought one with a faulty valve and customer service was EXCELLENT. A replacement was provided promptly and courteously. I often use this cushion even at home where I have more traditional buckwheat zafus available. Sometimes I just prefer the way this one feels. I have been meditating for over 40 years and have not found a portable meditation solution that can match this.

Bought this portable cushion to use for outdoor meditation and seat is so comfortable ended up using it indoors too. Was concerned with leaking due to past reviews but this must be the new design because have had no issues. Also very easy to inflate and deflate. Great quality, design, and value for the money. Super happy with my purchase!

I have used Mobile Meditator inflatable travel cushions for many years, and didn't hesitate to order NEW Air Meditator once it appeared on Amazon. The valves have been successfully redesigned to make inflating and deflating (for packing purposes) even easier than before.I first purchased the cushions for travel purposes - attending meditation retreats or, simply, for meditating when away from home. But they are so comfy that the Mobile (now Air) Meditator soon became my preferred cushion for daily use at home.The unique three-chamber design - which inflates in seconds - allows for subtle adjustment of the cushion height/shape to meet personal preferences. The feeling of being supported by air is light and buoyant, and pleasingly firm too. The crescent (sometimes called 'moon') shape allows for easy and comfortable placing of the legs in front of one, which is not possible with a traditional round zafu.As a long-term user I cannot recommend these cushions highly enough.

Very comfortable for sitting. This is the second Mobile Meditator cushion I have had. First one lasted several years before it started leaking. The new version has much improved valves. Much easier to inflate and deflate. Unfortunately the new and improved double welded seam started leaking after less than a year with very little use. The double welded seam on the center section became a single welded seam after a couple of months. A couple of months after that the last seam started leaking. I weigh less than 150 lb so not overloading it. Need to blow it up after an hour sit.
