Fairly traded kapok inside a fine quality organic cotton pillow shell with piping around the edge.

Our luxurious kapok pillows have a zip so you can adjust the fill and height of your pillow. We have carefully considered the best place for the zip so as not to disrupt your sleeping comfort and therefore the zip is along the seam of the short end of the pillow. Many of our customers like to turn their pillow over in the night and the placement of the zip does not interfere with this.

Our kapok is fairly traded in Java Indonesia. Our supplier is also growing an organic plantation in Sumatra. Unfortunately their plantation was destroyed in the earthquake last year, however we look forward to them re building and purchasing some certified organic kapok in the future.

More reasons to choose The Kapok Pillow?

Kapok fibre comes from the pod of a large tree and is silky soft to touch.

Kapok was used in the 50's for mattresses and pillows but was outmoded with the introduction of synthetic materials. Today we are becoming increasingly concerned for our health and the environment and Kapok Pillows address both of these issues naturally.

1)    They are comfortable. kapok pillows are soft and malleable, and can be shaped to any desired sleeping position. Excellent for those who need extra neck support.

2)    They are healthy. Natually grown kapok fibre repels dust mites without being treated with toxic chemicals. It also repels moisture, making it resistant to mold and mildew, which is especially good for tropical climates.

3)    They are environmentally friendly. Only the pods are harvested, so it is a sustainable crop and does not need any pesticides or irrigation. Also there is very low energy in production.

Other benefits of our kapok pillows are:

• Superior quality fairly traded Java kapok

• Harvesting the kapok fibre creates sustainable jobs for local communities.

• Assembled in Australia
  

• Fine quality organic cotton shell with piping
  

• Fully washable

All of our kapok pillows are assembled in Australia, because this is the only way we have been able to supply pillows filled with kapok that are good enough quality for our exacting standards.
