I have been using the Hugger Mugger Zafu cushion since last summer and I absolutely love it. I too started with a folded up yoga mat, but my leg(s) would almost always fall asleep within the first fifteen minutes.
The Zafu cushion is so much more comfortable. The improved support makes it so much easier to keep my center of weight in line with my tailbone and keep from slouching forward over time. I place my Zafu on top of a yoga mat for the sake of my ankles on the hardwood floor, and I never have any physical discomfort anymore, at least with a 20-30 minute sit. It also has a small zipper hidden under the cloth handle which you can use to adjust the amount of hulls inside (I removed some from mine to lower the height slightly), or dump the hulls out so you can wash it.
In conclusion, I can't recommend it enough! The materials and construction are very durable. Take good care of it and I bet that it will last you a lifetime.

This is what I just got, before I had just folded up a pillow, after getting this though, I find I am much more excited about meditating. It is rather expensive, but in my opinion, was well worth it.
/u/jakta, A stack of towels can work for what kirkirus is saying. You can also make or purchase a zafu which is a cushion filled with buckwheat, which is firm without being hard.
