Along the spine.
Lie lengthwise along the bolster, head supported, knees softly bent. The chest opens forward over the wide cross-section; the lower back finds its natural curve. The flat top means nothing rolls out from under.

Oblong Bolster · Product information
Why oblong
The oblong cross-section is wider than it is tall — 12 inches across versus 9 inches up. That geometry means the bolster does not roll the way a Round does. For postures where the body lies lengthwise along the bolster (supported reclined hero, chest openers over the bolster, supine fish), the flatter top stays steady under the spine without the rolling adjustment a round shape introduces. For postures where the bolster needs to roll (under the back in setu bandha, under the knees in savasana), the Round is the better tool.
Kapok, briefly
Kapok is a tree fibre — light, silent, and resistant to mould and mildew. It does not compress the way cotton batting does, holds its shape across years, and weighs about a third of an equivalent cotton-filled bolster. The Oblong at 1.05 kg is light enough to carry and substantial enough to hold its shape across the longest restorative holds.
The cover
Cotton, hemmed, with a hidden zip along one short edge. Removes for washing; the inner kapok pillow stays sealed in its own cotton inner case. The cover is the only thing that needs to be washed — the fill stays clean inside.
Care over the long run
Cover removes via the hidden zip — machine wash cold, hang dry away from direct sunlight. The kapok inner pillow does not need washing; vacuum lightly if dust builds up. The bolster holds its shape for years; the cover softens with each wash.

In supported reclined hero.
The flat top of the bolster holds the body steady through the long hold. Where a Round bolster might shift, the Oblong stays where the practice put it.
For the long hold.
Restorative work measured in minutes, not seconds. The bolster that lets the body trust the support and stop micro-adjusting.
