Along the spine.
Long axis of the bolster runs sacrum to base of skull. The ribcage settles open over it. Pranayama begins from a quieter place.

Pranayama Bolster · Product information
Why this shape
The cross-section is the smallest of our four bolsters — 7.5 × 7 inches versus 12 × 9 for the Round, Oblong, and Rectangular. Small enough to sit between the shoulder blades without forcing the chest into a position the breath cannot follow. Long enough to support the spine from sacrum to the base of the skull without leaving a gap.
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 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 the fill case lightly if dust builds up. The bolster holds its shape for years; the cover softens with each wash and develops a quiet patina with use.

Across the knees.
In supta baddha konasana, the bolster supports the bent knees from below. The hip flexors release without the body asking for it.
For staying.
Lighter than the Round and Oblong, smaller in cross-section. The bolster you reach for when you do not want to feel the prop.
