Everything You Need to Know About Our Japanese Floor Cushion
What is the difference between a zafu and a zabuton?

A zafu is usually rounder, firmer and higher, helping raise the hips during meditation. A zabuton is wider and flatter, providing cushioning beneath the knees, ankles and legs. They can be used separately or together, depending on your posture and preferred level of support.

Which floor cushion should I choose?

Choose according to how you plan to sit. A higher, firmer cushion is suitable for meditation and crossed-leg sitting, while a wider, flatter cushion works well around a low table or as additional casual seating. Compare the diameter, width and height in the product details with your available space and preferred posture.

Can I use my floor cushion directly on a hard floor?

Yes, but placing it on a tatami mat, rug or non-slip floor mat can provide additional comfort and protect both the cushion and the floor. Always use it on a dry, level and stable surface.

How should I clean my Japanese floor cushion?

Care depends on the material. Natural straw, rattan and tatami-style surfaces should be cleaned with a soft brush, vacuum or slightly damp cloth and must never be soaked. Only machine-wash a fabric cover when it is removable and the product instructions permit it. Air the cushion regularly and allow it to dry completely before storage.

Is Japanese decor a good gift?

It is a meaningful choice for anyone interested in Japan, interior design or objects that bring more personality to everyday spaces.

Hi, I'm Yuki, founder of

A room changes when one object in it is right. Not a whole Japanese interior, and nothing that needs explaining: one lantern that softens the evening light, one bowl you actually eat from, one print on a wall you walk past every day. I choose every piece myself, and I keep only the ones that still look right after a month of ordinary use.

Every order leaves here wrapped by hand, with a note. If something arrives wrong, write to me and we will put it right.
