Claim:
1. A cylindrically shaped meditation sitting cushion comprising: a single, upper layer of slow recovery, low resilience, temperature sensitive visco-elastic foam having a generally planar first support surface and a generally planar second surface, the first and second surfaces defining therebetween a substantially uniform thickness of about 2 to 3 inches; a lower, less compressive supporting layer consisting essentially of buckwheat hulls for providing a firm base of support, said lower compressive supporting layer having a generally planar third surface and a generally planar fourth surface, the third and fourth surfaces defining therebetween a substantially uniform thickness of about 3.5 to 6.5 inches; and a cover material enclosing said upper and lower layers; wherein said upper and lower layers so configured to a combined substantially uniform thickness of about 5.5 to 9.5 inches operate to maintain a pelvis and spine of a user seated upon the meditation cushion in an alignment that minimizes musculature and ligamentous strain during use as intended.
