Reviews about Crystal Cove Oval
“Love this for everything meditation and yoga. It’s the perfect little babe to carry everywhere, even on a hike! Even has a cover you can wash. And it was made with respect for the planet!! I would buy several more if I ever hosted a retreat or meditation circles.”
“So many things about this Brentwood meditation pillow are right: the fabrics are beautiful and well made, the buckwheat hulls are firm but adjustable, the carrying “handle” is brilliant and the overall shape is great. But for me, this cushion is just too thick. I like a pillow that sits just under my bum, elevating me into an easy alert posture, but lets me crossed legs/knees angle slightly toward the floor. I knew when I bought this that I probably would not like sitting fully on top of it, but I was hopeful. “
“It’s well made and beautiful but smaller than I expected. Other meditation cushions I’ve used are bigger.”
“I couldn’t give this 5 stars bc I was surprised it wasn’t memory foam on at least 1 side. It’s not the most comfortable thing to sit on in meditation.”
Crystal Cove Square Meditation Cushion
This cushion is a square-shaped wide platform that provides enough support while sitting, standing, or exercising on it. It’s stuffed with a buckwheat fill inside a cotton liner. It has a soft fabric and good shape for meditation and yoga practices.
However, the cushion is quite heavy and big, especially compared to the oval cushion (17 vs 6 pounds). So, it’s not a good option for taking it to classes or often moving it around your house.
| Dimensions | Weight | Colors | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 27” long x 27” wide x 2” high | 17 Pounds | Grey | $125 |
Reviews about Crystal Cove Square Cushion
“Love the materials and the brand itself, but the pillow was just a little too big, and cumbersome to move around, in a small home-like mine.”
“I love it, and the other meditation pillows I purchased with the set! They are a perfect size, elevation, and shapes for multiple purposes, yoga props, meditation seats, arm rest (on the sofa), stretching……I feel perfectly supported. My little dog loves the big one, too, for her naps!”
“While beautiful aesthetically, the comfort is poor with stiff beads that are uncomfortable when seated for long periods of time and the weight of this is incredibly heavy. ”
“The best mediation cushion I’ve ever used. Hands down. It’s so comfortable because of its large size. The filling molds to my body”
Yoga Bolster Cushion
This elongated cushion filled with buckwheat was designed for headstands and savasana poses during yoga practice. It is quite firm aiming at adding extra support and stability for the yoga poses. Moreover, the cushion is quite heavy, so it is better to use for home yoga.
| Dimensions | Weight | Colors | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25” long x 11” wide x 6” high | 12 Pounds | Grey | $99 |
Reviews about Yoga Bolster Cushion:
“Best bolster I’ve ever had. It’s firm yet pliable and dense enough to give support.”
“Great bolster. Buckwheat filling makes it so easy to shape to my body. I use it behind my knees & also I lay down on it to open up my chest. Very good when I’m congested.”
“I love the support this meditation pillow gives for my posture exercises. I’m overall happy with the quality.”
“The cushion is very hard.”
“While beautiful aesthetically, the comfort is poor with stiff beads that are uncomfortable when seated for long periods of time and the weight of this is incredibly heavy. To bring this and the meditation cushion to classes would require two trips from the car. For the price point, I am disappointed.”
Crystal Cove Pranayama Yoga Cushion
This Brentwood Home yoga cushion is designed for Iyengar Yoga Pranayama practice. It’s made for deeper breathing by allowing your chest to expand for longer when you place the cushion along the spine. You can place it under your back, your legs and you can even use it during the night if you’re a side sleeper.
The cushion is small and easy to move. However, it might not be as comfortable and functional as other cushions by Brentwood Home.
| Dimensions | Weight | Colors | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 26” long x 6” wide x 4” high | 5 Pounds | Grey | $69 |
Reviews about Crystal Cove Pranayama Yoga Cushion:
“This cushion is great for support under the legs or back, or wherever you need it when on the floor. Not too big, so it’s easy to move.”
“I purchased this along with the bolster. While I love the bolster and found it perfect as a leg support, I was incredibly disappointed that the pranayama pillow did not match the bolster’s comfort or support. I tried using the pranayama pillow as a support in many different ways, under the small of my back, vertically along my spine, under my neck. Beautiful but not functional and head and even as a last resort as a side pillow but in all ways, the pranayama pillow fell short.”
“High quality, beautiful in appearance, adjustable filling for comfort. Perfect. I use it under my knees when I sleep on my back at night. The perfect amount of lift.”

Reviews about the Brentwood Home meditation cushions bundle:
“Wonderful material. Easy to clean zipper pillow covers go in washer. Not very flexible to use because of the beads in the stuffing. The beads makes for a surface too hard to be flexible enough get into position easily.”
“I like the material and design of the covers. The covers easily remove for cleaning. The cushions are well made and I use them for more than just yoga bolsters, such as support while in bed or on the floor.”
“i now have the whole set of these cushions, and i LOVE them! so durable and comfortable as well as easy to care for and very nice looking.”
“Love this set- the combination is supportive for pretty much any set up, and the covers are soft and comfortable.”
“There are grain bugs coming out of my pillows. I didn’t think to take a photo but now that I see you cannot want to review I will add 1 when I find another 1.”
