LOTUS PADS

If you enjoy sitting on the floor, whether you are an artist, musician, writer, or just sitting at a low table enjoying tea with friends, you will love this seat. The Lotus Pads™ cushion can be used anywhere — on the floor, bed, outdoors, on your chair, etc. For those of us used to sitting in chairs, this "chair" is a Godsend for it allows us an alternative that is very comfortable and supportive of good posture. Chairs, pillows, and cushions tend to create constrictions that soon become uncomfortable. The open position afforded by Lotus Pads™ cushion greatly reduces these stresses.
