What is a knee cushion good for?

A knee cushion is designed to provide comfort and support to the knees during activities that involve prolonged kneeling, such as gardening. It protects the knees from hard surfaces and minimizes pressure points, reducing discomfort and potential knee injuries. Of course, it also prevents clothing from getting dirty and damp. 

What are the best knee cushions?

The best knee cushions are usually made from durable materials that provide comfort and support. Here are some features to look for when choosing a knee cushion:

• Thickness and density: An ideal knee cushion has a good thickness and density to provide adequate cushioning.
• Water resistance: Knee cushions that are water-repellent can better handle moist conditions in the garden.
• Material: Choose sustainable and easy-to-clean materials, such as Wool or Tweed. Wool and Tweed are dirt-repellent and if they do get dirty, they can be dried and shaken out.
• Handle: Some knee cushions have a handle so that the knee cushion can be hung up and is easy to carry.

How to use a knee cushion?

Place the knee cushion on the ground on a flat surface before kneeling.
Kneel on the cushion with your knees resting on the soft surface.
Distribute your weight evenly over both knees to minimize pressure points.
Use the knee cushion for gardening tasks such as planting, weeding, or harvesting.
When you are finished, carefully stand up and store the knee cushion in a dry place.
By using a knee cushion correctly, you can garden more comfortably and reduce the strain on your knees.
