I bought this meditation pillow about a month ago. I have been using it nearly everyday. In my mind when I purchased this pillow I was thinking it would be foam. When I took it out the box I felt the how heavy it was and realized it was almost more bean bag like. The fabric is very thick so I don’t worry about any tears. As for comfort...ITS GAME CHANGING. Note I’m new to meditation and I was meditating on a yoga mat which was fine I didn’t realize how uncomfortable I actually was till I got the pillow. It’s definitely helped me be more comfortable and worry less about how I’m sitting.
