The Hugger Mugger Yoga Meditation Bench, according to the manufacturer, is “the perfect companion for your yoga or Pilates practice,” but we feel it would work well for anyone looking for a well-made seiza meditation bench. Whether you practice yoga or are just looking for a more comfortable way to meditate, this bench may be what you are looking for.

For extended comfort during sitting meditation, this Hugger Mugger bench has a removable, washable 1-inch foam cushion. It is conveniently portable, due to its hinged folding legs and included drawstring carrying bag with a handle. This seiza/meditation bench is made from a nicely finished birch plywood.

YogaTrader.com offers a unique eco-friendly folding meditation bench made of bamboo.

The Bamboo Meditation Bench reduces knee, hip, ankle and back stress with effortless spine alignment. The special curved bottom surface of the legs allow you to slightly adjust spine and pelvis alignment better than a fixed flat bottom bench. Tight hinged bench legs fold up for portability and storage. Made with beautiful and sustainable fast growing bamboo with an eco-friendly natural oil finish.

We have tried it and agree that it is a very comfortable, portable bench, especially with the optional cushion.

Update: This seiza bench is now available at Amazon.com.
