Super-fine quality kapok from Java, unbleached and untreated. Kapok is often referred to as ‘plant down’ or ‘silk cotton’. Kapok fibres come from a seed pod harvested from the Ceiba tree. Using natural produce such as kapok helps to protect our vital ecosystem. Due to the fine structure of its fibres kapok is able to ‘trap air’. This means it is very effective at retaining warmth, an unusual quality for a plant fibre.

Our, oh-so-wonderful Organic Kapok as imported by ourselves over the past 12 years to satisfy the growing demand off manufactures & craft folk who are looking to produce beneficial items that tick all the eco-friendly boxes from a British family business who have won awards as pioneering leaders in green innovation & best practice. The mighty Kapok tree with the delightful name Ceiba pentandra, thrives in The Java Rainforest where it gains an amazing 13′ per year climbing high above the tropical canopy reaching 230′ in height, surviving for up to 300 years! The trunk is 10′ in diameter. How wonderful is that! The silky fibers extracted from the pod [harvesters are paid a good living wage] are the lightest natural fibers on our planet and were used to make life jackets and buoyancy aids during world war 2. They are frequently used for acoustic and thermal insulation. Growing in the rainforest at an amazing rate of knots they are never in need of the nasty toxic pesticides and herbicides used by the uncaring producers of memory foam.
