Kapok

Light as Air. Naturally Restorative.

The wonder of Kapok

Kapok—also known as silk cotton or Java cotton—is a soft, silky natural fiber harvested from the seed hairs of the Ceiba pentandra tree. Native to tropical regions, kapok is celebrated for its ultra-lightweight texture, thermal balance, and eco-conscious qualities. Composed of nearly 80% air, kapok fibers are incredibly light and buoyant, giving them a uniquely smooth feel and excellent breathability. A natural wax coating on the surface makes kapok hydrophobic, making it ideal for managing moisture while maintaining comfort.

Eco-conscious comfort

Kapok is a naturally sustainable fiber prized for its low environmental footprint. Grown wild in rainforests, kapok trees thrive without the need for deforestation or intensive cultivation, preserving natural ecosystems. Their natural resistance to pests significantly reduces the need for synthetic pesticides, promoting healthier soil and biodiversity. As a biodegradable material, kapok breaks down harmlessly after use, contributing no long-term waste. Additionally, its minimal water requirements make it an exceptionally water-efficient crop—an ideal sustainable choice with minimal environmental impact.
