Under the spine.
In setu bandha, the bolster sits beneath the sacrum and supports the pelvis up off the floor. The lower back lengthens; the chest opens without lifting.

Round Bolster · Product information
Why round
The round cross-section is the most versatile shape for restorative work because it can be rolled. Under the back, the bolster compresses where the spine presses down and lifts where the body asks for support. Under the knees in savasana, it follows the curve of the femur. In supported child's pose, the body wraps forward around it. A flat-sided bolster cannot do any of these things as cleanly.
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 Round bolster at 1.1 kg is light enough to carry to the mat and substantial enough to hold its shape under the body.
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 and develops a quiet patina with use. The Blue darkens slightly over the first year; the Gray warms.

Under the knees.
In savasana, the bolster under the knees releases the lower back without anyone having to remember to release it. Twenty minutes goes by without the body noticing.
In supported child.
Forward over the bolster in balasana — chest, belly, and forehead resting on the same line. The shape of the bolster is what allows the rest of the body to soften.
