I sit on the floor on a Zafu and Zabuton, as if I'm doing Zen meditation. Good setup costs about $200USD, you will be feeling enlightened in no time.

- taejavu 5y agoYou work like this? Like with a laptop on a coffee table?
- yesenadam 5y agoI've done this for decades[0], sitting on cushions on the floor, used to have keyboard + monitor on coffee table, but now it's lower, keyboard + mouse on a large square cushion from a sofa, monitor on a small woofer speaker. Working on Mac minis the last 10 years. I don't know, I just like being low down, it feels grounded or something. I find it very comfortable. [0] Well, no idea what a zafu or zabuton are. My setup cost $0.

- bamboozled 5y agoIt's not the only way I work, but I often sit this way, yes. Especially for the first half of my day while drinking coffee etc.
- goodpoint 5y agoYou can get away for less than 100 USD for a real Zafu and Zabuton, and much less if you make it yourself or improvise with pillows and some foam.
- bamboozled 5y agoYeah, probably, still though, I bought mine for probably about $150 USD, all Japanese made with natural Kapok and Soba inside, I've had them for about 7 years, washing the covers of course. So well made.
- ramesh31 5y agoThere's something distinctly American about spending $150 on a Zafu.
