100% Cotton Rectangular Yoga Bolster Pillow 28 x 12 x 8 in - Firm

In this review the 100% cotton rectangular yoga bolster pillow is presented as a straightforward, durable option for restorative and pranayama practice. The bottom line: this bolster is best for practitioners who want a firm, shape-retaining cushion that supports the head, torso and lower back during Yin and restorative poses. The reviewer found the construction and firmness to be the single biggest reason to buy, since it holds its shape, provides reliable support for spine alignment and is portable enough to bring to class.

Key Features

• Natural cotton construction: The cover and filling are cotton, which gives a breathable surface and a firm yet slightly yielding feel for sustained poses.
• Firm, shape-holding fill: The bolster maintains its form through repeated use so it continues to support back and neck alignment in restorative work.
• Portability: A built-in carrying handle makes it easy to move the bolster between rooms or to a yoga class.
• Washable cover: The cover removes for machine washing, keeping the cushion hygienic after frequent practice (air dry only).
• Generous size: At 28 x 12 x 8 in and about 9 lbs, the bolster is large enough to support torso-length positions and stable enough for seated breathing work.

Who It's For

The bolster is ideal for restorative yoga practitioners, meditators who prefer a firm rectangular cushion, and anyone seeking extra support for spine, neck and chest opening poses. Teachers or students who travel to class will appreciate the handle and weight that still allows portability.

It is less suitable for users who want an ultra-soft, plush pillow or those who require a very lightweight travel prop; people who need a much smaller or sculpted bolstering shape should look for a different model or the smaller 26 x 8 x 5 in option.
