Vertical Vitality Inflatable Travel Meditation Cushion - Compact Crescent Zafu and Pillow

It is listed as being 4.7" high, but in reality is is just over 2" high when inflated to directions. The directions say to only inflate to about 80% to avoid it popping, but since the value does not prevent air escaping it is almost impossible to get it inflated to 80% or more. Closing the valve to close before a significant amount of air escapes is also a major issue. The best I could get was about 70% inflated which results in the lower height. The material and shape are very good, but for me it should be higher and have a valve which helps avoid loosing the air as you close the valve.After using this for travel I found it was very convenient even if it wasn't as high as I'd perfer, so I gave it a higher rating.

I do a lot of traveling and I attend a lot of meditation classes. It's not easy to bring a bulky pillow with me in tote bag or luggage and this little meditation cushion provided an amazing solution. The cushion is a high-quality inflatable cushion that you can use wherever you are. When it is deflated, it is incredibly compact and it comes with it's own little carrying bag to keep it protected among your key and makeup in your bag. When you're ready to use it, it's easy to inflate with just a few deep breaths. This was the part the surprised me the most -- how quickly it inflated. I had a little bit of trouble closing the valve at first, but the trick is when you're done blowing into it to pinch it before you start to try and push the cap on. Once I figured that out, it was easy peasy. Deflating is just as easy. Open the valve, roll it up, and your good to go. I will definitely be recommending this product to my friends that attend after work, weekday meditation circles. It provides significant comfort in an accessible and easy to use product. By far, worth it's price tag. I did receive one to review, but would definitely purchase again for myself or as a gift.

Very portable. Easy to inflate and easily deflates completely. Used it to meditate at the Sedona Vortex sites on rock surfaces and it held up fine. Not the sturdiest inflatable I’ve used but I think you trade that for portability and I think it’s a fair trade. Don’t think it would ever become my daily home zafu, but on the road it suits its purpose perfectly

If it had a few individual chambers for the air, I think this would be a perfect wedge for meditation or even for use as a car seat cushion. Unfortunately having only the single chamber means that you slosh around on it whenever you lean to the side or off of vertical. So it doesn't feel very stable. But it's very easy to inflate and deflate and folds up wonderfully.

I just attended a demonstration to bring awareness to climate change. I was part of the meditation group which meant we had two outdoor sittings, 30 min each, in a park (on wet grass) and then on a street. I was so glad to have my inflatable cushion! I'm 5'3" and 125 pounds. The cushion was perfect for me...comfortable, easy to pick up and go and in- deflating was a cinch. So many of my friends asked where I got it. I'm about to order a few more for them as gifts. Oh yes, the price is right too!

Product is exactly as advertised. It's incredibly easy and fast to inflate and deflate. It's much stronger than it appears, I'm over 250 lbs and it holds me just fine. A good product

The product appears cheap, thin material and way too short to be comfortable for me.

This is a replacement of one that kept losing are now this one after only about 30 days little more once again won't stay inflated terrible product
