Two stars for the idea! Whoever invented this, you made EXACTLY what I was looking for – however, in use the Mobile Meditator simply doesn’t cut it:
Pros:
- Compacts VERY small, fits in my bag easily.
- Seems to hold air very well, I was concerned initially due to cheap construction.
- Very adjustable
Cons:
- VERY cheap construction – think $2.00 ‘inflatable travel neck pillows’ that are plastic with a sort of furry plastic covering.
- NOT high enough – needs to be at least 2x taller to raise my hips to the height of my normal meditation bolster. This lack of height (after meditating at a fairly fixed height for years) leads to intense back pain.
- Smells like plastic.
- Valves are difficult to master, making filling/emptying a harrowing experience until you figure out the trick (bite/squeeze parallel to the plug strap, which is the only way to get the valve to open fully)
Final Verdict: Don’t spend $24 on this – it’s worth about $11.
Going to give this away and go with a simple toy beach ball. Same valve, much more height, simply adjustability, cheap, and packs just as flat.
For LOTS of travel and LOTS of sitting, this cushion is what I have been looking for these last ten years. It is really easy to adjust to different anatomical requirements and takes up no space in the suitcase or pack. Because of the shape it gives excellent sitting support even when it is only slightly inflated, instead of tilting your sitbones the wrong way, like other inflatable cushions easily do.
I had trouble getting the valves to work properly at first, but once they were broken in I came to really appreciate the system – you have to pinch the bottom of the valve for air to pass in or out, which makes it easy to get the exact amount of inflation you want.
I’ve been meditating for many years and used all types of cushions. Before I purchased my Mobile Meditator inflatable meditation cushion, I used a traditional kapok filled cushion which, over time gets hard and uncomfortable. This problem is never the case with the Mobile Meditator. It is always soft and if I need to I can adjust the size if needed.
Most importantly when I travel I no longer have to devote a large part of my suitcase to a heavy and bulky meditation pillow. The Mobile Meditator takes up no more space than a t-shirt. I am so happy with my purchase of this fantastic product.
