I have "gomden" which is a firm foam rectangular block. I'm not a huge fan of it, but it still works for me. The concept behind it is that it's more firm and elevated then a something like "zafu", so you can sit in a more western posture. But for me it seems to go too far in the firm and elevated direction. I've been thinking I should get just get a traditional buckwheat zafu and see how I like it. But I haven't done it yet.
