custom cut foam yoga bolster

A custom cut foam yoga bolster gives you the support your body needs, whether you're easing into a restorative pose or propping up your knees during meditation. Instead of settling for a one-size-fits-all cushion, you choose the shape, length, and firmness, then wrap it in a fabric cover you love.

Choosing the Right Foam for Your Bolster

Shape

Round cylinder foam for a yoga bolster is the classic choice for supported backbends and under-knee support. Rectangular yoga bolster foam offers a flatter, more stable surface for seated poses and side-lying positions.

Firmness

A high density foam bolster holds its shape under body weight and resists flattening over time, while softer foam feels more pillowy for a gentle restorative yoga bolster. Many makers wrap firm foam in a thin layer of batting for a smooth, rounded finish.

Finishing Your DIY Yoga Bolster

• Pick a durable, washable cover fabric such as cotton canvas or duck cloth.
• Add a zipper so the foam bolster insert can be removed for cleaning.
• Sew on a fabric handle to make carrying it to class easy.
