MERCY Seat is compact, light and stackable. The portable plywood support is designed to bring people together in a spirit of peace and wellness. The seat provides comfort during extended periods of general sitting on the floor and meditation in the lotus (cross-legged) or seiza (kneeling) positions. The ergonomic benefit lifts the hips above the knees, diverts weight off the heels or knees and reduces pressure in the lower back to improve muscular posture for relaxation. The ecologically sustainable seat is manufactured in several heights.
