handmade and organic

Handcrafted bolsters that are rounded and contour beautifully to the shape of your body. It makes them comfortable and supportive for your opening practice and for seated positions. The width is perfect for prone and supine lying. They are wonderful to have behind the back for reading, to support the knee in side lying position or under the knees when restoring. In fact, we are a non-chair household and our lives are lived on our bolsters. These ones are fun enough to leave out and use every day. You can mix and match an organic cover with regular unbleached inner bolster, or a regular cover with an organic inner. We also have an assortment of unique eye pillows and self massagers to round out your self care needs. Check out the shop!

All of our bolsters and self care items are available for shipping within the US. Or if you would like to save on shipping and pick up your order in Portland, that works to; just select pickup in checkout.

Testimonials

Minga's bolster brings infinite & unending joy to my life. So useful for a home yoga practice, meditation, gentle stretching and heart opening, lounging in bed -- even sitting on while working at the computer! One of my most-loved and most-utilized possessions. This is truly a gift (to yourself, or another) that keeps on giving..

Sophie L.

I'm a psychotherapist and use the well-made, firm, and supportive bolsters to help clients feel comfortable while doing mindfulness/meditation practices. At home, they are wonderful multi-purpose tools: useful in everything from yoga and adding a comfy seat on the floor, to making ourselves cozy while watching a movie. I also love the attractive designs and that the covers are machine-washable. I intend to acquire another one (or two, or more).

Tamara W.

We LOVE Minga Lily bolsters so much we now have 3! They are made very well and are supportive to our daily yoga practice and self care needs. Plus the assortment of different fabrics and prints are a wonderful addition to our living room and bedroom decor. Enjoy!

the cover

This is the fun part! The covers are made from fabric remnants and bolt ends bought in local fabric stores. Each one is a limited edition unless I find the fabric again. They have a zipper along the back and a handle on each side for easy maneuvering. Covers can be sold separately: just ask!

the inner bolster

Crafted by sweetskins from muslin 55% hemp 45% organic cotton, the inner slip is open on one end so it can be restuffed if need be.

the stuffing

They are firmly stuffed with 100% unbleached cotton batting that is hand rolled (it takes two people to stuff each one!) and pressed into the inner bolster. The construction prevents the bolster from bunching up as it gracefully ages.

organic bolsters

The organic batting is seven and a half pounds of 100% cotton batting handrolled and stuffed into a slip of organic cotton and hemp muslin. Its dense and supportive, yet soft and comfortable.
