Folding Meditation Bench, Angled Legs (Purple, Standard)

I've had this bench for a month or two, and just took it on a week-long meditation retreat. It fit in my carry-on suitcase (amazing!). I used it for six 45-minute sits and two 30-minute sits per day, and it was as comfortable as I could possibly hope for. I'm 5' 8.25" tall, and I ordered the "tall" bench. The height and angle were perfect for me. Toward the end of the retreat, later in the day I was aware of discomfort or mild pain in my knees, shins, and ankles, but this was after 5 days of doing this! It was much less than previous retreats I've done alternating between a zafu and a different bench. But I'm pretty confident that I would have had much less comfort with the "standard" height bench.The cushion being attached is really a great design. The last night and morning of the retreat, I used a bench provided by the retreat center (since mine was already packed). It had a separate cushion that slid around, and I had a difficult time finding a position where it would stay in place, and also be comfortable. I'm so glad I had mine for most of the retreat!The materials appear strong and durable, the bench is sturdy, and the wood is quite beautiful. In summary, I am very happy with this purchase, and hope to use it for many years.

I originally started with the medium bench height because I'm 5'4", but I found that for those of us that don't have slender thighs, the tall bench is a more comfortable fit with less pressure on the knees. The bench is well made and comfortable for longer meditations. A great product that I highly recommend.

What a beautiful and well made item! I can't wait to use it, but while just testing it out I realized how tight my quads are, lol! I'm so used to sitting on a Zafu and Zabuton... With some stretching I know I'll love this. The cushion is comfy and the bench just feels solid. While I realize it's new, the hinges are nice and tight and the legs stay in position. I did notice that the bench has a habit of sliding, so I think I might add a rubber strip or something to the bottom of the legs. All in all, I'm extremely (and mindfuly) happy! :)

This folding meditation bench exceeded my expectations. It is very well made with quality materials. The size and weight are perfect for travel. I am 5'2" and was concerned that I would slide and feel uncomfortable with longer periods of sitting. That is not the case. I can sit for 45 minutes or more and am very content.

I love my meditation bench!!!! I ordered in tall, I am 5'9" and it is perfect! Highly recommend it. It really helps alleviates the pain in my hips and my sciatica. Fruitful meditating to all!

I've had this bench for two years and have to say the people at Ananda Village truly keep the elderly in mind when designing the size of this bench. It rises up enough to seat comfortably but most importantly allow for proper circulation throughout the legs. I've returned two other amazon benches from other companies because they were two short and my leg would fall asleep near the knee. Great work Ananda Village!

I love this bench! As a 6' senior female I have been looking at these benches for awhile hoping to find only that would "fit" my long legs. I ordered a "very good used tall folding bench" and I'm delighted to report that it's like new and beautiful and serves the purpose it is intended for! Score👍

A fantastic, sturdy, meditation bench. The padding is handsome and well upholstered. The wood has a nice finish, the hinges are elegant and strong. I sent back a different brand bench because of cheap material quality, and shoddy workmanship. This bench is little pricey, but worth it.

I love it. So comfortable and solid. I feel myself being drawn to it.
