The best organic materials

We use 100% organic cotton twill. Our bolsters are designed with a cotton twill fabric a robust weave, ensuring a long lifespan. In addition, it is soft and soothing to the touch.

Choose your filling

We offer two filling options - buckwheat hull or spelt husk.

Our organic spelt husk is from grain that is both grown and milled in UK. Each bolster is packed tightly with springy spelt husk, giving the pillow a firm but soft cushion that moulds to the body. 

Our buckwheat hull is sourced from the EU. It is perfect if you want a really firm cushion. The buckwheat is slightly heavier than the spelt by approximately 1 kilo.

Both fillings allow you to sink deeply, breathe, and truly relax - feeling entirely supported in your practice.

How to use a yoga bolster

Yoga bolsters can be used to support any yoga practice, but they are predominantly used for restorative and yin yoga. They are used for supported gentle twists, supported backbends and supported forward folds. They are also the perfect height for use as a meditation bench. Read our guide on some key yoga bolster poses to get started or watch this great guide by our friend and yoga teacher, Helen.

Product care

Buckwheat hulls can be removed using the inner zip if you wish for a slightly softer cushion. When you receive your new yoga bolster, you will find that it is very firm. We pack our bolsters tightly as the fabric can stretch ever so slightly with use. This ensures that your bolster maintains firm support and will not begin to sag. We recommend using your bolster for a few weeks before removing any hulls. If you do remove any, try to store them in case you change your mind!

The outer cover is machine washable at 40 C. You can tumble dry on a cool setting and iron on a warm setting. We supply spare covers in the case of a spill or if you need to continue using your bolster while your cover is in the wash!

Organic and Naturally Water Resistant

We've used organic cotton canvas outer fabric and sturdy cotton twill lining to create a simple yoga mat bag that will last.

Most modern fabrics are coated with polymer-based water-resistant coatings, which adds to microplastic pollution. Cotton canvas is not entirely 'waterproof', but it is water-resistant. The material swells slightly when wet, closing any gaps where water may seep through. We've added a twill lining under the canvas to act as an extra barrier, keeping your belongings dry when you are caught in a rain shower.

What can I fit in my bag?

Our mat bag will fit any mat up to 66 cm width, 200 cm length and 6 mm thickness. Leggings and/or shorts and tee will squeeze in too!
