IKUKO® Meditation Benches
Inspired by the traditional kneeling posture, IKUKO® was created to make sitting feel more natural, stable, and effortless. Its distinctive curved seat gently supports the pelvis, allowing the body to find balance without forcing the posture.
Every IKUKO® is designed and handcrafted in Québec, Canada, drawing on more than 15 years of experience in ergonomics. Made with carefully selected wood and shaped with attention to every detail, it is a timeless companion for meditation, yoga, reading, working at a low table, and everyday moments closer to the ground.
Available in three versions—Original, Basic, and Easy Posture—the collection offers different materials, heights, and portability options. Each shares the same essential purpose: helping you sit comfortably and remain present.
Three versions. One essential purpose.
Every IKUKO® shares the same gently curved seat and postural approach. Choose your model according to how you intend to use it, the material you prefer, and whether portability matters to you.

The curve that changes the way you sit
The curved seat is at the heart of every IKUKO®. It helps the pelvis find a balanced position while creating a more open angle between the thighs and torso. This allows the spine to lengthen naturally and the upper body to remain upright without unnecessary effort.
Rather than holding the body in a rigid position, IKUKO® creates the conditions for posture to feel stable, open, and relaxed—so attention can return to breathing, awareness, and the practice itself.
Choose the height that fits your body
Your height is a useful starting point, but it is not the only factor. Flexibility, leg proportions, mobility, and experience sitting close to the floor can all influence which bench feels most comfortable.
Low — 16 cm / 6 in
Best suited to smaller or more flexible people who feel comfortable sitting close to the floor.
Standard — 18 cm / 7 in
The most versatile choice for many adults and a practical starting point for first-time users.
High — 20 cm / 8 in
Provides additional space for taller people, longer legs, or more limited mobility in the knees, hips, or ankles.
These recommendations are intended as a starting point. Two people of the same height may prefer different bench heights depending on their proportions and flexibility.
