What is kapok?
Kapok is a fluffy, silky yellowish fiber, similar in feel to milkweed or down, which is harvested sustainably from the seed pod of the kapok tree. The tree itself is not cut down during harvesting--only the seed pods are removed and the fiber within extracted. The kapok we use in our pillows is typically sourced from Malaysia, Thailand, or Mexico.

Our Customers Say ...

  • "Customer service is exceptional and very attentive. I was updated on all parts of the ordering process via email messages. Plus, I had chosen a faster, more expensive shipping method (UPS 3 day), but they wrote and told me it was faster and cheaper to send via UPS Ground because of my location. Highly recommend this store and will definitely shop here again!"
