The Major Benefits of IKUKO
Improves Posture
- The open sitting angle between thigh and torso and the kneeling position allow the back to automatically straighten up so the spine balances properly over the pelvis, rediscovering its natural curve decreasing damaging compressive loads on the low back.
- A free torso having to balance itself engages, trains and strengthens core muscles and reduces tendencies to slouch.
Increases Oxygen Levels and Ability to Focus
- This sitting, position similar to walking upright, frees the lungs and upper organs and allows for deeper breathing.
- The open chest makes breathing easy, improving oxygen levelsfor a better circulation of your energy and a general feeling of well-being.
- Increased oxygen supply and intuitive comfort subconsciously result in improved concentration and ability to focus.
Increased Circulation
- Because the body's weight is evenly distributed, circulation in the legs are improved and heaviness and swelling from stale sitting is avoided.
- Minimal to no pressure on knees and leg joints allowing them to relax without going numb.
Keep in mind that bodies and measurements are different from one person to another. These sizes are only references for the majority of users. Please contact the seller directly for help on choosing the right size.
Reduce Body Pains Head to Toe
- Neck - Natural neck alignment helps reduce neck strain and prevent muscle tension in the shoulders.
- Thoracic Spine - Proper spinal curvature is achieved naturally.
- Low Back - Opens the angle between upper & lower body which reduces compression on the low back.
- Legs - The bench takes the pressure of body weight and allows your legs and knees to relax.

This is the most spectacular wooden chairs I have ever sat in. It took me several weeks to become comfortable sitting in this particular position because I am consistently sitting in comfortable cushioned seats all day long. Those seats are horrible for my posture and spine while this chair aligns my spine and makes me feel energized and comfortable. It took a bit of time to get used to but once I was, it become tremendously comfortable and rewarding for my entire body. Plus, Philippe is the consummate professional when it comes to customer service. He went way beyond my expectations to care for my needs. Strongly recommend this Zen meditation chair. Daniel

The finish is as described and there is just enough cushion for me. I am 4’11†and this is just high enough for me to sit cross legged yet keep weight off my ankles. I LOVE IT! No harsh chemical smell and it came already assembled. My kids have also used it and swear by its maneuverability across the wood floors 😊 Note: Anyone of a larger build might find the diameter and height of the seat a bit small for extended use.

This was a gift to s person who was contemplating meditation. One dive prior to arrival, this recipient told me he had no further interest in meditation as just the thought of it exhausted him. Upon its arrival he assembled it and sat on it. He warned me he loves it. It comforts his lower back and he sits on it at least 30 minutes a day quieting his lower back pain and his mind. Who says you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

I have a couple of these benches. The quality and craftsmanship is outstanding.The last one I ordered got screwed up with the USPS and customs. The company stepped up and made it right. Great company to do business with!

Makes meditation a lot more comfortable. I have always avoided doing it because I am not very flexible. This fixes that problem nicely. I wonder though, as I get better at it, if there are shorter legs I can buy for this model?

My students have dubbed it my potato-chip-seat-on-legs. I use it for small group lessons and it is very comfortable!

This is absolutely perfect for me. I am 5'11 and 220lbs and the standard height/size is perfect! Angle and curvature are amazing. Highly recommend!

Very nice quality. Solid stool. Very comfortable. I’m 6’ 2†(with long legs) and ordered the large and it fits very comfortably.

It’s obviously sold as a meditation stool and that’s the use to which I put it. When not in use, it sits as a work of sculpture in the room. Exquisite workmanship. I like it so much, I’ve bought a second, fold up version, for travel.Having never used one of these stools, I took a chance that, at almost 75 yrs of age, I’d be able to cope. And not only can I cope, this stool molds one’s body into the correct posture.Oh, did I say I love it?And, no, I have no relationship of any kind, to the vendor company.

I was really skeptical about this bench. i spent a few months contemplating on purchasing it,and i am very happy that i did. it is so very comfortable. It keeps your back erected naturally without force. my legs were a bit stiff in the beginning but after using the bench for about a week straight my muscles began to relax and they became more aligned to the formation of the bench. If you have doubts on buying this item, please don't. Its a great product and the quality is out of this world. The only thing that i can tell you is to do your home work and correctly choose the RIGHT SIZE for YOU height :) If you don't then you will definitely not have good things to say about this amazing product.

After many years practicing meditation on a tradional zafu cushion, I am now at an age when hips and knees are stiff. I have never been at ease on a bench, but this one is different. Although it is intended for a kneeling position, I use it in a sitting position with the legs crossed and the knees resting on small cushions. Due to its curved and inclined seat, the bench is as comfortable as a cushion. After several months of use, it is still my regular support for meditation and will probably remain so for some years to come.

This is a beautifully made, practical meditation bench. I have been practicing meditation for 40 years and this is by far the most comfortable seat I have ever used. And you can take it apart and easily bring it with you. An excellent purchase - a tool for life.
