The 10 Best Yoga Bolsters

The Hugger Mugger Standard (around $83) is extra firm and supportive, but still comfortable to use, and it has a handle on each end for easy moving. However, note that removing the cover is not recommended, as it fits very tightly and may be difficult to put back on.

The Bean Products Best (appx. $70) is available in three shapes: round, rectangular, and an extra-long pranayama model for breathing exercises. It has a foam core to provide stability and help it maintain its structure over time, and you can choose a cotton, nylon, or hemp cover.

In addition to helping you maintain proper alignment during your practice, the Peace Yoga Round (appx. $30) makes a great floor or chair cushion to support your spine while sitting. The buckwheat hulls inside are sealed in a pouch that can be removed when you want to clean the cover.

Densely packed with over 9 pounds of cotton, the YogaAccessories Max is one of the firmest models available. It's similar to the ones used in many studios, and at less than $40, it's more affordable than most comparable options.

Ideal for meditation and seated poses, the Reehut Zafu (about $34) helps to promote proper posture, relieving stress from your joints and spine. It's very sturdy with just the right amount of give, and it won't sag or become misshapen with frequent use.

At eight inches tall, the Peach Blossom Rectangular (about $76) will allow you to get deeper into poses than thinner models do. It's made by hand in the United States, and the zipper is hidden, so it won't snag your clothes or scratch your skin.

Compact and portable, the Zafuko Organic (about $29) is just 14 inches wide and can double as a block or pillow. It's handmade and stuffed with kapok, a dense, cotton-like natural fiber that's lightweight, durable, and resistant to moisture.

The YogaAccessories Supportive (around $34) comes in a variety of colors, making it's easy to find one that complements your mat and other gear. It's filled with cotton, so you can remove some to make it softer or add more if you prefer a firmer texture.

Expand your chest for deeper breathing, support your knees in savasana, and protect your spine during backbends with the Waterglider International (around $24). It's stuffed with 100% cotton batting and has a removable cover for easy cleaning.

Weighing just 2.5 pounds, the Manduka Enlight (about $73) is easy to shift around as you move through poses. The plush eQua microfiber absorbs moisture to keep you dry during your practice, and the filling is made from 30% recycled polyester.
