A Zafu is very simply, a meditation cushion that can also be used as a yoga prop. It is very commonly used for meditation, you simply place the pillow under your hips.
Most Zafu's are about 5-8 inches off the floor. This is perfect for individuals of almost any height. You do not want to be sat too high as this will angle you forward. Your knees should also be able to touch the ground/yoga mat/yoga towel below.
The filling and feel of the cushion will dictate the overall comfort of the cushion. If you want a softer feel to your pillow you will be after a cotton Zafu, If you want a firmer, heavier feel to your cushion, you will want a buckwheat Zafu. You will also need to think about whether or not you want things like carrying straps.
A typical zabuton cushion measures 50 x 70 cm and is typically several centimetres thick when brand new. It normally has to be big enough to fit your zafu on when meditating.
