What is the difference between the rectangular Yoga Bolster and the Yoga Roll?

We're glad you're interested in our Yoga Bolsters! 🙏
Here’s a comprehensive comparison between our rectangular and round Yoga Bolsters – both options provide optimal support for your yoga practice and are made from high-quality, eco-friendly materials.


🟦 Rectangular Yoga Bolster

The rectangular Yoga Bolster offers stable and secure support for your yoga practice.
Thanks to its flat shape, it stays reliably in place without rolling away. It is especially suitable for exercises that require even support for the back – such as in reclining positions or to relieve the spine.

The Kapok filling makes the bolster both elastic and supportive, while the robust cotton cover provides a pleasant feel.

Particularly suitable for:
🧘 Yin Yoga
🧘 Restorative Yoga
🧘 Gentle stretches & longer holds in poses

Features:

  • Shape-retaining & stays in place

  • Especially comfortable for beginners

  • Often used in studio settings


📏 Two Sizes: Rectangular Bolster in S and L

Our rectangular bolster is available in two sizes – both with Kapok filling and a removable organic cotton cover:

🔹 Size S
Dimensions: approx. 72 x 20 x 15 cm
Weight: approx. 0.9 kg

Ideal for you if you...

  • Are looking for compact, versatile support

  • Have a medium body size

  • Prefer a bolster that is easy to travel with


🔹 Size L
Dimensions: approx. 72 x 30 x 20 cm
Weight: approx. 1.6 kg

Ideal for you if you...

  • Are taller or need more support

  • Practice more intense stretches or chest openings

  • Mainly use the bolster at home


🔵 Yoga Roll (Round Bolster)

The round Yoga Bolster – also known as a Yoga Roll – offers a more flexible, softer support.
Its cylindrical shape makes it ideal for backbends, gentle chest openings, or for gently elevating limbs. It can also be used as weight in certain asanas.

The filling with organic spelt hulls adapts individually to the body and provides a pleasantly soft yet supportive base.

Dimensions: approx. 64 x 24 x 24 cm
Weight: approx. 4.2 kg

Particularly suitable for:
🧘 Yin Yoga
🧘 Restorative Yoga
🧘 Therapeutic applications

Features:

  • Rolls easily – making it versatile

  • Ideal for backbends & heart openers

  • Provides gentle support without feeling too rigid


✨ Conclusion

  • Rectangular Bolster (S or L): Provides stable, even support – ideal for reclining positions, gentle stretches, and as an all-rounder for various body sizes.

  • Yoga Roll: More flexible in use – perfect for backbends, therapeutic yoga sessions, and gently supporting limbs.
