10 Best Yoga Bolsters UK 2024

Our pick for the number one yoga bolster in the UK is this cylindrical option from Basaho, as it ticks all the boxes. Basaho uses only top-quality materials, such as organic cotton for the cover and buckwheat hulls for the filling, meaning it is environmentally friendly as well as durable.

We particularly love this family-run business due to the extensive research they put into crafting all of their products. For example, they added a central handle to this bolster due to customer enquiries, which makes it much easier to carry to a yoga or meditation class. Plus, it comes in at an excellent price.

In second place we have this lovely eco-friendly option from AJNA. The bolster is made with a vegan-friendly and luxuriously soft eco-suede cover, and the filling comprises recycled dual-layered foam. This provides a soft yet comfortable surface that won't lose shape over time.

The bolster also features a carry handle, and due to the filling, it's not heavy, so it's easy to transport to and from classes. It also comes in a range of gorgeous colours that would look at home in any living room or meditation space. While it is on the top end in terms of price, the 5-star reviews on Amazon attest to its greatness!

This is another affordable option, this time from one of the biggest names in the yoga world – Lotuscrafts. While this is a rectangular bolster, the shape is in-between the first two, so it's a fantastic choice if you want something rectangular yet not too structured.

With an interior filled with Kapok wool and a cover made from eco-friendly, organic cotton, this is excellent value for money. The cover is also removable, so you can quickly throw it into the washing machine when it's time for a clean.

Next up, we have this high-quality yoga bolster from Manduka that ticks a lot of boxes. The cover is made from a lovely microfibre which makes it soft and super absorbent – perfect for when you get a bit sweaty during your session!

If you're looking for an environmentally-friendly option that's also easy on the wallet, this option from Viavito could be just the one for you. It features an organic cotton cover and buckwheat filling, making it high-quality without the high price tag.

The cylindrical shape and buckwheat filling provide a great balance between comfort and support. This makes it perfect for restorative poses, as you can mould the bolster into the ideal shape for your body.

Our first pranayama-style yoga bolster comes from the company Hugger Mugger. This is a superb option if you're looking for added support during breathing exercises, as the long, thin shape is perfect for placing behind your spine or lower back to open up the chest area.

This one is rather expensive, so it's probably only suitable for those who are really serious about their practice. However, made by hand with a carry strap and a lovely cotton filling too, it is worth the investment if you have the cash to splash.

We're bringing the price back down to a more affordable standard with this next bolster from Yogamatters. It comes in a range of beautiful colours and features an organic cotton removable cover, so it's easy to clean and comfortable on your skin.

The rectangular shape is perfect if you're looking for a little back support while lying face up or adding a slight lift to seated positions. Unfortunately, some reviewers have commented that it's a little too firm when holding restorative poses for a long time. But if you're after something firm, it'll be just right. 

If you like the look of No.6 but don't quite have the budget, here we have another Pranayama-style bolster from Yoga Studio at a much more affordable price. It's filled with organic buckwheat hulls and has an organic cotton cover, so it's bound to appeal to those keen on being green.

The shape of the pranayama bolster means that it is best for supporting your knees during kneeling poses or for placing under your back during breathing exercises. However, if this doesn't really apply to you, you're probably better off with another shape.

Next up, we have a cylindrical option from Blue Dove. If you're looking for an affordable, soft but firm option in a lovely colour, this is it! It's filled with cotton and has a removable cotton cover, which is a brilliant package for such a low cost.

Unfortunately, some reviewers have noted a bit of a smell coming from the bolster, which isn't great when trying to relax. Plus, due to the size and lack of straps, it's not the best for moving around.

Finally, we have this rectangular bolster from Yoga-Mad. This is ideal if you're looking for a nice firm option to provide maximum stability. That said, due to being filled with buckwheat hulls, the bolster will mould to your body without losing its firmness.

There's also an inner zip which allows you to remove or add more buckwheat hulls to customise the firmness exactly to your liking. The only reason it's so far on our list is that it only has 4-stars and 20 reviews, so it may be a bit of a gamble.
