Review on 🪔 Optimal Vipassana and Transcendental Meditation Companion: Green Eos Bamboo Ergonomic Folding Seiza Bench by Tracy Robinson

This is my first meditation bench, so I can't compare it to other products, but I'm very happy with the purchase. The bench is the right height for me (I'm 5ft 6in). I can sit in seiza or in a simple lotus. I don't use padding on the bench itself, but I like the padding under the knees. The bench makes a high-quality and robust impression. The hinges are designed for high loads. Beautiful workmanship, great design. All parts are measured, cut and well finished. The bench folds almost flat and is lightweight for easy portability/storage. However, I leave my installation in front of my altar; it complements the space well. I recommend the bench to anyone whose old knees and hips need a little lift off the ground. The bench is tilted forward to provide good support for a good upright meditation posture. I believe the bench is 6 inches off the ground at its highest point. It's smaller than it looks in the photos, so don't worry. If you're having trouble getting your hips/knees apart, you might want to consider a higher bench. This is normal for me and makes me feel grounded, but if you have trouble sitting/kneeling for long periods of time or have difficulty getting up off the floor from these positions, I would consider a higher seat. This one is pretty close to the ground. All in all a great bench and a worthy addition to a meditation room.
