What it does not remove is the specification that matters in India.

Gaiam

₹3,499

The adjustable fill is the feature, not the fabric.

Buy it if: Trekkers and travellers drawing from streams or taps of uncertain bacterial quality.

Avoid it if: Anyone treating groundwater for heavy metals, arsenic or salinity -- filtration does not address any of those.

Buy it if: Anyone sitting to meditate who needs the seat height matched to their own flexibility.

Avoid it if: Anyone wanting a light, packable cushion -- buckwheat fill makes this heavy.
