the
Peace Bench™

our portable meditation bench comes in four pieces to keep you in One Peace!

1) Innovative design is sturdy when erected, yet knocks down in seconds for easy traveling. Connects via hemp straps on the sides.

2) Made from earth-friendly 100% recycled content wood fiberboard with no added formaldehyde.

3) Non-toxic beeswax finish protects and gives a dark honey sheen.

4) This seiza bench comes in three sizes with interchangable legs. This allows positions other than kneeling, such as Burmese (cross-legged), and "sky" (perching).

5) The bottom of the leg is slightly curved in the front half and straight in the back. The front half is gently rounded to allow the bench to move with the needs of the sitter (this adjusts the angle of the seat to whatever is needed), yet the back half is flat, to keep the bench from rocking backwards too far.

6) Weighs only four pounds. Easy to pack in a suitcase or backpack because the pieces are not connected.

More Details:

This meditation seat is environmentally-friendly: Made from a Forest Certified, 100% recycled wood content composite material called Medite II. This is a wood fiber product that uses wood scraps that would otherwise be discarded. A strap made of hemp webbing slips over the knob on each side to hold the bench together. The bench is hand-finished with a non-toxic finish (linseed oil, beeswax, and pine resin) to give it a dark honey sheen.

The bench is lightweight, made from 1/2 inch material and weighs 4 lbs. It is easy to pack in a suitcase or backpack because the pieces are not connected.

We are commited to bringing planet friendly products to the market, and have spent 10 years designing this bench. Often earth-friendly materials are harder to locate than standard materials. Making a 'greener' product can also require extra effort due to general lack of knowledge about these innovative materials. We think it's worth the effort, and the reward is that Meditte 2 allows for design advantages that standard wood will not allow.

Our earlier version of the Peace Bench™, though wildly popular, was taken off the market in December of 2004 due to the rising costs of recycled plastic. During the search for a more economical material, we took the opportunity to re-engineer the design so that the current model is more stable.

If you have been waiting for three years or more since we took our previous version of the Peace Bench™ off the market, thanks for your patience--it's not always easy being green :)

testimonials:

I just received my peace bench today, and I just wanted to thank you. I love it! The wood has such a nice feel and smell, and I'm thrilled with how light, portable and handsome it is. And you sent it out so quickly too. Now all I have to do is get my family and friends into meditation, and I'll have the perfect gift for them :).

Best regards,

Michael
