What is Kapok? Kapok is a luxurious, silk-like fiber found within the seedpods of the towering Kapok tree. These majestic trees grow abundantly in tropical rainforests, thriving naturally without the need for farming. We source our Kapok from the rainforests of Java, South-East Asia, known for producing the finest Kapok fiber.
Local communities hand-harvest the seedpods, extracting the fiber and carefully removing the seeds without the use of pesticides or chemicals. The result is a soft, smooth, and completely natural fill—ideal for creating healthy, supportive pillows.
Kapok’s natural moisture-repellent properties help prevent mold, while its inherent antibacterial and bug-resistant qualities keep dust mites and other allergens at bay, protecting your health. This hypoallergenic, breathable, and organic fiber is not only eco-friendly but also long-lasting.
When it’s time to replace your Kapok pillow, you can simply compost the fiber, allowing it to naturally decompose and return to the earth, leaving behind zero waste. It’s the perfect combination of comfort, sustainability, and health!
Kapok is widely regarded as the most sustainable fiber available today. Unlike conventional crops like cotton, the Kapok tree flourishes naturally in the wild without the need for irrigation, pesticides, or any chemicals that harm the environment. No farming, large-scale land use, or human intervention is required. The result is a fiber that’s completely free from pollutants that would otherwise contaminate the soil, air, and water.
These magnificent trees thrive in the rainforests, playing a vital role in supporting biodiversity and capturing large amounts of CO2. Once the seedpods are harvested, the tree remains unharmed and continues to flourish, providing a sustainable source of income for local communities year after year.
Kapok floss is not just eco-friendly; it’s 100% natural and fully biodegradable. You can easily compost it at home, letting it break down naturally and return to the earth, enriching the soil without any waste. Feed it to your worms, and they’ll happily transform it into rich compost.
Kapok truly is nature’s most sustainable gift, offering comfort and care while preserving the planet.
No toxins in Kapok
The Kapok tree flourishes in the wild and doesn’t need to be tended to by humans. So it’s not fed fertilisers or drenched in pesticides or any other chemicals. Locals collect the seedpods, remove the fibre and take the seeds out of the fibre all by hand. No machines, no chemical processes. It’s as simple as that . The product is 100% natural and clean.

Animal-friendly
Animal lovers can sleep well at night knowing that no animal had to suffer for their pillow. Kapok is just a plant fibre and therefore fully vegan. It also doesn’t require fertilisers, pesticides or any other chemicals that might have been tested on animals.
