Ahhhhhh! So great! in my review

Delivered in great time and in perfect condition! I was so excited to receive this in the mail. I literally took it out of the box and began using it. I didn't even wait to remove the plastic! I use this, in addition to another round bolster by Hugger Mugger, for resorative yoga poses. I use this standard one on days when I'm a bit more flexible, and the round one on days when I'm more stiff and tight.It's incredibly sturdy without feeling hard when using it. Great after a hard work out. Also a

Pros
  • Unites body and mind in yoga practice
Cons
  • The surface may stain easily

Perfect solution for a bad back

My husband's back was in terrible shape for a month. He refused to see our physician or our chiropractor, and the massage therapy I got for him was good -- but he didn't want to continue with it. Finally, in desperation, I asked my yoga instructor/exercise coach if she could help. She brought a bolster as one of the tools for exercising his back into place, and it was just the trick! Now he does beginner yoga every day and ends with the bolster exercises.

Pros
  • Q: Quiet and peaceful yoga sessions with added support
Cons
  • Not ideal for practitioners who prefer a minimalist approach to yoga

Stability for larger yoga students

I had the pleasure of trying this and the round bolsters out at my yoga studio before buying. I am a plus-sized gentle yoga student, and for me, I like the stability of this oblong shape better than the round bolster. When we would do restoratives or shoulder opening poses using a bolster, I would feel like I was going to fall off the round one. I felt like I was balancing along a very narrow line, and it is hard to relax and let the pose do the work when you are afraid of literally falling out

Pros
  • F: Firm support for challenging poses
Cons
  • May not offer enough support for larger body types

Great bolster - my new review

My long time yoga instructor recommended this brand when I told her I wanted to buy a bolster. She said it’s a few dollars more but worth it as it holds up better than others. One small detail that I LOVE is that it has a "handle" on both ends! So simple yet so useful! Amazing this wasn’t on all of the bolsters from the beginning! The dark grey is a nice color too. LOVE 💗

Pros
  • This bolster is durable and great for yoga, stretching or just to have on your floor to watch tv.
Cons
  • Limited availability may be a concern

Do you need this expensive bolster? Absolutely you do!

I practice yoga several times a week but just started getting into Restorative. I did some research on bolsters and many claim the Hugger Mugger to be the best. But did I really NEED an $80 bolster? The answer is YES! It is extremely firm.(which I love!) It supports and helps stretch my very tight and sore back. Yogis looking for a firm bolster. . . spend the extra bucks for this bad boy!

Pros
  • Good purchase
Cons
  • May not provide enough support for users with severe bodily injuries

Quality item best in my review

One of the yoga studios I go to uses these so it was easy for me to make the decision - I'd already used them and knew I liked them. The purple seemed a good idea, as it won't show dirt or discoloration the way some lighter colors probably will. Good materials used and good stitching. I do wish all came with a simple cloth draw-string bag to use when they are stored or transported.

Pros
  • ‎25 x 12 x 6 inches
Cons
  • May be too large for certain yoga studio spaces

Good quality bolster

Pros:Beautiful purple color, firm but eases up a little with use. Not lumpy and is stuffing is evenly distributed. Good for back poses where you need a flatter surface.Cons:Can wash the outside cover (although I haven't needed to, so this is ok). It's not as round as some bolsters I've used at studios, but I like it enough.I recommended looking at bolsters that yoga studios or gyms have to see if you prefer a rounder one before you spend your money. If that's not an issue then give this one a…

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • The filling may clump unevenly after several uses

Excellent sturdy quality

Would recommend this product if you are into restorative yoga, just starting out with yoga or even if you are not into yoga but need a good stretch for your back. I hunch over the computer all day long and have upper back pain and slumping shoulders for quite some time. In the morning and at night laying on this reverses some of the damage and feels great. This bolster is a great investment and made so well. My only "complaint" -I got it in black because I didn't want to pay the extra…

Pros
  • I love everything about this product! It is well made, perfect for restorative yoga!
Cons
  • The weight of the bolster may make it difficult to carry around

Good product - my new review

I've never used a bolster before, but this seems to fit the bill for restorative yoga. Nice and firm. Seems to be just what I needed. The fabric is slightly rough for when you put your face directly on it, but a soft towel on it solves that problem.

Pros
  • This is a really great pillow, I use it when doing yoga, the pillow is great quality
Cons
  • May not be durable enough for long-term usage

Great Customer Service, Great Product

I made an order and the wrong item was shipped. Customer service immediately went to work to make it right. I just placed another order and I cannot wait for my bolsters to arrive.My bolsters arrived today and they are exactly what I wanted and expected.

Pros
  • Don’t pass this up. Love it and high quality!
Cons
  • The size may not be suitable for users of all heights

This is a quality yoga bolster

The color is true. The material is very durable. The support is excellent. I did however think it was a bit pricey. But I guess you get what you pay for.

Pros
  • Very well made and solid. Made in Utah - you’ll be pleased.
Cons
  • The price may be too high for some budgets

Perfect Pillow for Yoga Practice

I was looking for a high quality bolster like the ones used at a yoga studio I attended prior to COVID-19. This one is perfect! It is firm and supportive. I use it for sitting postures, as well as back bends. I also discovered it helps a lot to put it behind me when I am on our old couch watching tv. Corrects my slumped posture!

Pros
  • P: Perfect for restorative and gentle yoga practices
Cons
  • The bolster may be too heavy for some users to carry

Happy with this choice

I shopped around before choosing this brand and glad I did, I bought the plum/purple, it's nice a hard, great 6" height, long enough, feels like it will last a lifetime, material does pick up a lot of lint and the cover can not be removed for washing, I use a blanket when needing to lay bare body parts on it, otherwise, this was a good purchase and highly recommended for yoggies.

Pros
  • Soft, comfortable surface for restorative yoga
Cons
  • The surface may absorb odors over time

Very Nice Product! for my opinion

I purchased this bolster for an unusual purpose. Our church is part of a Lutheran synod in which some congregations use kneelers during the service, but other congregations do not. Ours does not, and by far most people prefer to stand for prayer which is what we have done all along. But some of us would like to kneel for prayer, and I purchased this product to see if it would work as a kneeling pad.I have now taken it to church and knelt on it in the pew, and it really would work very well for…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • May be too bulky for storage in small apartments or studios

Excellent Bolster for Yin Yoga

The yoga studio I go to uses these Hugger Mugger standard bolsters for yin and restorative yoga classes. I love these bolsters so much I decided to get my own set for home practice. The bolsters are wonderfully supportive and comfortable! Since other reviewers mention difficulty replacing the Hugger Mugger cover after washing , I also got these stretchy zipper pillow cases so that I won't have to wash the actual bolster covers as frequently. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079KFX44K/ref=oh_au…

Pros
  • Little pricey. Great product. Only flaw attracts hair and dust easily
Cons
  • Not machine washable, may require delicate hand washing
