Yoga and meditation cushions and accessories. How India makes them.
Yoga and meditation cushions are best sourced from Delhi–NCR, where Delhi, Noida, Gurugram and nearby Panipat have the cutting, stitching and filling units for wellness products. Makers produce zafu and zabuton cushions, bolsters, eye pillows and acupressure mats with cotton covers and kapok, buckwheat hull or spelt fillings, with GOTS or OCS certification for organic claims.

anirudh@sourcesquid.coWhat is the difference between GOTS and OCS?
GOTS covers the whole textile chain, including chemical inputs and social criteria, for products with at least 70% organic fibre. OCS verifies only the organic fibre content through the supply chain. Both use a transaction certificate for each shipment.
Buckwheat or kapok: which filling should I choose?
Buckwheat hulls give a firm, shapeable seat and suit zafu cushions; kapok is lighter and softer. Buckwheat must be cleaned and heat-treated, and some markets ask for plant-health paperwork.
How long does a meditation cushion order take?
Typically 40–45 days after the sample is approved, plus 2–3 weeks for sampling. Allow extra time before Diwali, when many units run at full capacity.
