I am making my own zafu and want to know how much buckwheat it is going to require. How many pounds, specifically. It is a large zafu: 9" tall by 13" wide. Please advise and thanks!

    At least 15 tons depending on weather you want a sturdy one or not.
    Having said that I must confess my ignorance,I have no idea what a zafu is,sorry to waste your time.
