Why this gift works
The Hugger Mugger Standard Yoga Bolster is a firm, flat-rectangle cushion, 11 by 25 by 6 inches and 5 pounds, filled with cotton batting and covered in 100% cotton upholstery-grade fabric, with a handle on each end. Hugger Mugger makes it by hand in the USA. The cover is fitted and not meant to come off, and care is spot clean or dry clean. This listing is solid aqua.
A bolster supports the body so it can relax into a stretch instead of holding it with effort, which is the idea behind restorative sessions. It is the kind of prop people rarely buy for themselves, which makes it a good gift for someone who stretches at home.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- Someone who stretches at home in the evening
- A regular who wants restorative sessions
- Pairing with a block and strap
Think twice if
- They only take fast-paced classes
- They have little storage space
The catch
The cover does not come off - Hugger Mugger says the tight fit is part of the support - so it is spot clean or dry clean only. It is bulky at 25 inches and 5 pounds, and pricey for a cushion.
Skip if they only do fast, sweaty classes, or have no room to store a bulky prop.

What to look for in a yoga bolster
- Firmness. A firm bolster holds its shape under the body; soft ones sag.
- Shape. Rectangular is flat and stable; round sits higher.
- Care. Removable covers wash easily; this one is spot clean only.
