Best zafu for daily meditation?
I'm looking to buy a zafu (and zabutan) for daily meditation practice. I think I prefer a buckwheat fill. I have long legs and normally use two stacked cushions to sit Burmese style when I meditate at my sangha.
I see a lot of options online and they all seem pretty expensive. What brand do you have/like? Do you own two cushions? I'm not a fan of the bench, just looking for cushion recommendations.

I like the gomden instead of the traditional zafu because of my long legs. There are different heights available, plus the availability of a cushion for the top. I don't need a zabuton anymore.

We've been using a couple of Smile zafus for a few years now and are quite pleased with them. (Ours are the kapok-filled, and I do need to order some additional kapok — we've been sitting on these long enough that it's gotten a bit compacted and could do with some supplementation.) It comes in either kapok- or buckwheat-filled, plus they have an additional support cushion for taller folks who want their Smile cushion boosted an inch or so.
