    Make this a sticky. A great idea!

      I just tried this method with a thicker wool blanket I have and it seems to work really well. I plan on getting a "true" Zafu but this can hold me over until then. I was surprised at how durable the blanket sushi stays together once properly tucked at the end. It sat high enough for me to get my western knees to the floor comfortably and also tends to compress forward a little helping with my spinal posture.

      I would love to hear if the great blanket Zafu vs. traditional Zafu experiment continued and what traditional Zafu owners found.

        Bumped in this topic just today. Great!

        Will do something to my fiancée (and maybe my soon-to-be stepson, or anybody else) sit with me.

        Many thanks!

          Wish I had that skill when I was in the hospital for a long period of time, pillows just did not do it. Also when we travel never found a good way of sitting in hotels and at family houses. Thanks so much for sharing.

            I travel frequently with work and use Ralf's folded-blanket zafu all the time when travelling. I forgot to unfold it once; I wonder what the hotel staff in Manila made of it... ;-)

              Hi all,

              thanks for finding it useful.
              I am still using this kind of cushion, when en route or sitting with a visitor.
              My 'real' zafu is a little more comfortable, but I am considering the folded one really ok, also for more than one day in a row.

                    This comes in very handy since I am traveling at the moment!

                    Thank you Ralf.

                            tried this last night and it worked as a charm, it even "held up" over night and was able to use it this morning #sattoday, so again, thank you Kotei and his friend

                              Sometimes I remember my blanket zafu and wonder if it was better than my actual zafu!
