Getting Comfortable Although resting isn't a requirement of meditation -- walking meditation is definitely a thing, Gruver says -- many people sit or lie while meditating, which is why most meditation areas start with a comfy seat.
"The most important piece is comfortable seating, especially if you are new to meditation," Garlinger says. "A chair in which you can cross your legs comfortably, and that supports your back, is particularly helpful."
There are all manner of chairs, mats, pillows and benches designed specifically for seated meditation. We like the compact, ergonomic Undo Cushion, $150, as well as the supportive and easily stowable Halfmoon Yoga Meditation Chair, $75. You can easily find seating that's comfortable, affordable and suited to your style of meditation.
