Buy A Chair For Meditation
By Leo Gura - February 26, 2026
Stop meditating cross-legged. Buy yourself a comfortable chair for meditation. Cross-legged meditation is stupid, unhealthy, and done out of mindless conformity.
Go to a furniture store and find a good chair for meditation. Not too big. Not too soft. Not too fancy. Not too short. Not too expensive. Not too angled. Not a couch. Not a recliner. It needs to have a comfortable, cushioned seat but not too puffy. And it needs to allow you to sit upright without back support. It’s also nice if it is relatively light and portable, so you can move it around to any room in your house. Make sure it can fit through your door-frames without disassembly. Visit multiple furniture stores until you find the perfect one. This chair will last you a lifetime.
This is my meditation chair. I also use it for Kriya yoga. It is simple but very comfortable.

Do you understand why Hindus sat cross-legged? Because they were too poor to afford chairs! That’s it. They also wiped their ass with their bare hands.
