Under the hips.
Sit on the long edge in sukhasana or virasana — the platform lifts the pelvis, lets the knees drop, opens the seated breath. The flat top means the seat does not move when the body moves.

Rectangular Bolster · Product information
Why rectangular
The rectangular cross-section has sharp edges and a fully flat top. That geometry gives the body a clear, defined seat — useful for any seated practice that goes longer than five minutes, where a softer curve would slowly shift and ask the body to micro-adjust. Sit on the long edge for sukhasana, the short edge for virasana, lay it flat under the knees in savasana. Each surface has a job.
Firmness
The firmest of the four — a denser kapok fill packed into the squared geometry, where a softer fill would lose the corners under sustained weight. The top edge holds cleanly across the longest sits; the flat surface distributes the body over its full width rather than the centre of a curve. If you sit cross-legged for a daily meditation, this is the bolster that will not slowly compress under you.
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 Rectangular at 1.15 kg is the heaviest of our four bolsters — the extra weight comes from a denser fill needed to hold the rectangular geometry cleanly.
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 rectangular shape across years of seated practice; the cover softens with each wash.

Behind the knees.
In savasana the bolster goes under the knees with the flat side up — broader surface than the Round, no rolling. Twenty minutes of stillness without the body adjusting underneath it.
For seated work.
The firmest of our four bolsters. The bolster you keep at the meditation seat, the one you reach for when the body needs a defined surface rather than a giving one.
