Uh... we probably have different understandings of the word "regular." But I really want to know what you mean by "regular elephant."

I like to grab two pillows off my bed and stack them together. Creates a nice roll in my hips that allows me to sit cross-legged more comfortably.

I used to stack up some pillows or blankets. A few months ago, I sprang for a beautiful zafu and zabuton with a beautiful rust-colored removable covers. Even though it is not necessary to have these special cushions, I have to say that I really enjoy sitting on them. They are comfortable and nice-looking, and it feels good to have the "right" equipment. :)
