Review on Relax And Restore With Hugger Mugger'S Firm Yoga Bolster: Handmade In USA With Soft Surface For Restorative Yoga by Damon Mertz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Expensive addition but well worth it!

I ordered this bolster to help support me during certain yoga poses, especially when reclining back in saddle pose. But this is also great when doing reclining restorative yoga. The bolster is wide enough to feel stable and is quite thick. It does not have a "squishy" pillow feel. It has a form core surrounded by some sort of stuffing that adds to the comfort but does not compromise the firmness. It does not give or bend if using it propped onto blocks during restorative poses. This is as good as the bolsters at a yoga studio. The fabric is a sturdy, non slip material. I ordered the plum and it is a beautiful color, deep and rich. There are handles on each end. The cover zips off for cleaning, or I suppose if you'd like to change the cover. Much has been made in the reviews that after washing the cover, it shrinks and doesn't fit. I will be careful to only spot clean and dry clean if and when necessary. This is an expensive addition to my yoga props, but I believe a worthy investment as I practice daily.

Pros
  • K: Keeps your body aligned during practice
Cons
  • May be too dense for some users to comfortably drape over
