Choose your height
Longer legs need a lower, wider cushion to keep knees grounded.

See our top pick →Why does your height matter?
Cushion height affects pelvic tilt, which in turn controls your entire spinal posture during a sit. The right height for your body allows the pelvis to tip slightly forward, keeping the natural lumbar curve intact and preventing the lower-back fatigue that discourages daily practice. Femur length — not flexibility — is the primary determinant. Taller practitioners have longer femurs and typically need less lift; shorter practitioners benefit from more.
