About this item

  • CURVED SEAT-BACK: In an upright position (optimal for meditation) our backs can only be supported at the base (sacrum) where the spine curves inwards. After extensive testing the designers of the Himalaya chair found the perfect curvature for the seat-back to cradle the sacrum in an upright position, allowing the back muscles to relax, effortlessly maintaining a straight back posture. Users report their back feels as if they were standing. No back pain even when meditating for long periods.
  • EXTRA WIDE SEAT: You may have noticed, when sitting cross legged on a meditation pillow, that your knees are far apart and only a small part of the thighs rest on the pillow. The weight of the unsupported part of the legs then creates upward pressure into the hip joints and stress on the knees and ankles. The extra wide seat of the Himalaya chair supports the thighs when sitting cross legged, eliminating strain and pain in these joints.
  • ELEVATED SEAT: The slightly forward sloping seat is elevated to where the hips end up higher than the knees (ideal) and the lower legs can relaxedly “fall” off the seat without any tension in the knee or hip joints. These improved ergonomics also allow for normal circulation. No more pins and needles!
  • ANGLED FOOT REST: When sitting on a meditation pillow or most other meditation chairs, the ankles end up awkwardly twisted with the weight of the lower legs bearing down on them. The padded foot rest of the Himalaya chair lets the feet and ankles rest at the same angle as the lower legs in total comfort.
  • HIGH RESILIENCE FOAM: The seat and foot rest are covered in high resilience NBR foam. The same foam that most yoga and exercise mats are made from but a full inch thick. Easily cleanable with a damp rag. The cushion is firm enough to provide good support, yet soft enough for premium comfort.
  • ELEGANT CONTEMPORARY DESIGN: The Himalaya chair is made of wood. It is expertly crafted from 3/4 inch solid Birch plywood with a durable finish for many years of trouble-free use. With its many subtle angles this eminently practical chair sports an eye pleasing contemporary look that will complement any home or office environment.
  • CARRY HANDLE: Easily carry the Himalaya chair in one hand, taking it to and from the car when going to group practice or meditation retreats.

The Himalaya meditation chair combines a number of innovative features that let you sit cross legged in total comfort. Say goodbye to the back pain, legs falling asleep and achy joints caused by sitting on the floor. Designed by experienced meditators, the goal from the start was simple. Create a chair that allows one to sit in a cross legged meditation posture in total comfort. The seat-backs of other meditation chairs only offer support if you lean back into them, resulting in a posture that’s not optimal for meditation. The unique curved seat-back of the Himalaya chair cradles the lower back, allowing the lower back muscles to release while effortlessly maintaining a relaxed, straight back posture. The extra wide, raised seat and angled foot rest provide support to joints and muscles that all too often become stressed and painful when sitting on a meditation pillow. Experience deeper, more peaceful and relaxing meditations without the constant distraction of aches and pains. Sitting in this much comfort, you might just want to meditate more!

I am relatively new to meditation and after about 8 months I became discouraged. I just couldn’t seem to sit comfortably in lotus for more than 20 minutes, and even in a chair I got restless and uncomfortable. And so began my extensive research to find THE “perfect” meditation chair. I considered the Alexia, but I wasn’t crazy about the materials it is made from, or how it would hold up, or what my cats might do to it! I found this chair both here and on Etsy and contacted the seller to get more info. After hearing his story about how he is a long time meditator and had experienced his own journey to find the perfect seat to no avail, and how as a woodworker in Colorado, he decided to take matters into his own hands and create *THE* chair, I was pretty much sold on trying it out. Well I am happy to report that it is amazingly comfortable and gorgeously designed and built, a really spectacular example of what meditation can achieve in a human being’s creativity and attention to detail. The thoughtfulness that went into the choice of materials, the very specific angles, the glassy smooth finish on the solid birch veneer, the supportive yet cushy padding…. As you can tell I’m pretty smitten with it. Everything you need for assembly is included along with a very detailed and very clear (again, this guy obviously meditates) description of each step along with actual photographs! I will treasure this chair for many years and hopefully it will be the vessel that carries me on my spiritual journey for a long time to come! Thank you Erik! 😁

I have tried a number of different meditation cushions and chairs over the years and this is the best, so far, for westerners who aren't used to sitting cross legged on the floor. The construction is impeccable and stylish as well.

I like to meditate but sitting on a pillow just gives me too much pain and discomfort. As soon as I sat on the chair I could feel how the back supports an upright posture and it’s very comfortable on my legs. I only use it for meditation so it gives a feel of something separate from your usual life when you sit in it. I’ve had it for a few weeks now and already the ease of sitting in the chair has made the practice much more inviting.

A very well designed and built meditation chair. It allows me to sit cross-legged without any pain or discomfort in the knees and ankles. I was happy to return to my regular meditation practice after receiving this chair. I like the Foam Seat Cushion and pelvic support and the elevated seat. Very happy with my purchase.

After meditating for over 50 years seated on the floor, I had to go to a chair because of some arthritis in my foot. I found this chair and after a couple of weeks using it, I have to say it is awesome. I highly recommend this for those meditators that can't sit on the floor anymore.
