Zabushion Sitting Cushion

"Zabu" comes from zabuton, the traditional flat, square cushions the Japanese use when sitting and/or kneeling on tatami mats. Since the "ushion" part, of course, comes from the English word cushion, you can pretty much figure out what the Zabushion Sitting Cushion is and what it is used for. And you'd be right: it's a sitting cushion just like its old-school cousin. But this is where similarities end. Because the Zabushion is truly a zabuton for the 21st century in terms of both its construction and the problems it's designed to handle.

The problems are the back pain that comes from sitting too many hours on chairs. Unlike the Japanese of old, who were sitting on the floor, the current way of sitting puts too much stress on our back and this is where the Zabushion Sitting Cushion is a real lifesaver! Thanks to its triple-layered structure and the fact that 90% of it is made of air, the weight of your body gets spread out all over its 40 square centimeter (6.2 square inch) area relieving your back. Fully washable, compatible with any chair (and even wheelchair), and made using eco-friendly natural fibers, this will make back pain a thing of the past!
