WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FOLDING MEDITATION AND THE PICNIC BACKRESTS?
- The meditation frame is more upright than the picnic frame. We designed it to keep you in a good upright position to support your back optimally during meditations and workshops when it’s not appropriate to lounge and recline in case you get so comfy, you fall asleep. We promise the backrest is still super comfy though.The picnic frame is a more relaxed incline for lounging on lawns while you enjoy your picnic or listening to a music event at Kirstenbosch gardens.
The covers are different. The meditation backrest covers are made from a variety of indoor suitable fabrics. Usually a cotton blend upholstery weight fabric or a polycotton twill.
The picnic covers are made from a UV and water resistant ripstop or similar fabrica, designed for outdoor use.
CAN I USE A PICNIC COVER ON A MEDITATION FRAME?
- Yes, they are interchangeable
- ARE THE BACKRESTS ADJUSTABLE?
- No. We have opted to keep two separate options because we are about durability and quality. Our hinge that allows the folding, is super strong which is important because all the weight of the resting person is on that hinge. We have looked at other options to make the backrest adjustable but have not yet found a way that meets our durability requirements.
- HOW IS THE ORIGINAL ZEN DIFFERENT TO THE FOLDING MEDITATION BACKREST?
- The Original Zen is the very first backrest we made. We still love them.
- The frame is more lightweight than the folding meditation backrest.
- It does not fold with a hinge but it can be dismantled and packed flat.
- It is made from a cold rolled steel tubing and the corner bend is a solid steel bar which keeps it strong.
- Retreat centres like them because they are lighter weight and they can be stacked on top of each other and the metal work is encased in cloth and not visible.
- It costs less to manufacture and therefore you pay less
- The Original Zen is the very first backrest we made. We still love them.
- CAN I HAVE THE COVERS BRANDED?
- Yes. We have made backrests for many wine farms like Spier and Boschendal, even schools and, recently, Key Motor Corporation and Beck Family Estates, to mention a few.
- Branding of an indoor fabric, like used on the meditation backrests can also be arranged.
- HOW DO YOU BRAND?
- For the picnic version we always use silk screening because it works well outdoors and on the ripstop
- Other fabrics can be embroidered.
- CAN I ORDER BULK?
- Yes. Discounts apply depending on the quantity ordered.
- You can choose your own colours on bulk orders.
- WILL I BE ABLE TO PURCHASE NEW COVERS?
- Yes, so long as the company is in business we will be able to make you new covers .
- IS THERE A GUARANTEE?
- The covers are guaranteed for 6 months. Any problems with manufacturing will be covered by us. General wear and tear will not be. This is a product used on the floor so they do take a beating if used a lot, which is why we choose our fabrics carefully.
- The folding frames are guaranteed for 12 months. We will repair your frame if the hinge should break (we have NEVER had one break in 15 years!) The coating on the frame is subjected to wear and tear easily but if it peels off (NEVER happened to date!) we will take it back for recoating. Scratches on the coating happen, we can’t guarantee against that.
