Bench Options
Leg Style - Angled vs. Rounded
The angled legs generally provide
the meditator with greater support for
the back to stay straight while staying
relaxed. However, some customers
prefer a rounded leg which lets the
meditator use the bench at whatever
tilt they choose. The rounded leg
option is only available on the folding
benches.

Leg Style - Standing vs. Folding
The standing bench is great if you will be using the bench primarily in your own
home. The legs are fixed in the upright position.
The folding meditation bench is good if you will be taking your bench to other
places to meditate, or for traveling. The legs fold up and it easily slips into a
backpack or suitcase. The hinges on our folding benches are heavy duty and
are guaranteed to last a lifetime. With our folding benches, if you decide that
you would like a different style of leg (eg. tall, rounded) we will swap them out
with you. All you have to is unscrew the legs at the hinge and mail them back to
us and we will mail you your desired leg style at NO charge!! We want you to be
100% satisfied with your purchase.

Height - Standard vs. Tall
The standard bench is 6.5" tall at the front and 8" tall at the back (with the
angled legs). Our tall bench is 1 inch taller than our standard bench (for both
angled and rounded legs). Generally the tall bench is good for people over
5'10" tall. It is also preferable for those with stiffness or pain in their knees or
hips. Also a consideration is leg flexibility. Less flexible people may be more
comfortable with a tall bench.

Upholstery - Silk vs. Cotton
Our 100% cotton upholstery is the tougher of the two materials. The 10 oz.
fabric is very durable and made to last.
Silk was recommended for meditation by the ancient rishis of India. It is said to
insulate the meditator from negative vibrations in the Earth. We use raw silk for
our upholstery, which means it is among the least processed silk available. Silk
is also loved for how it absorbs dyes to give us full rich colors. While our silk is
softer and thinner than our cotton, it has proven to be very durable as well.
