Bolster - Dutch Wife, Mini Bolster
Our latest Yoga Arts mini bolster is called the Dutch Wife, a mini version of our larger meditation bolsters.
The 'Dutch wife', is a body-length bolster used in tropical climates to keep cool at night, originated in the Dutch colonies in Indonesia.
The origin of the English term "Dutch wife" is thought, via folk etymology, to be from the (former) Dutch colony of Indonesia, where Dutch traders would spend long periods away from their wives.
Although our Dutch Wife Bolster is only 64cm long, not body length, it does provide an ideal support for all lying down practices, functioning equally well on the couch, bed, or yoga mat, supporting your neck, legs, or any other part of the body.
Made from heavy poly/cotton drill, preshrunk and prefaded. Both the inner and outer cover is made from the same fabric.
Features a removable cover
Filling: NZ wool, a quality hypoallergenic product made by people who have specialized in wool products since 1986. Quality wool allows the bolster to flatten slightly into an oblong shape but does not lose its support or height. This is really important in choosing a suitable yoga bolster; firm yet supple.
Size: 64 cm long x 25 cm wide x 15cm high.
Made in Aotearoa (New Zealand).
