Kapok pillow
Description
Kapok is a soft, cotton-like fiber that grows on the Kapok tree in tropical climates. It’s luxurious and unique, and makes an excellent plant-based alternative to down feathers. Unlike feathers, kapok is hypoallergenic and does not contain quills. The kapok tree is a large tropical silk-cotton plant, with enormous seed pods that produce silky kapok fibers. As fluffy as down, but more resilient than wool or cotton, kapok makes an excellent pillow filling that will last for years. The kapok tree is known for its healing properties, and products made from it have been shown to offer many benefits. Kapok is a plant-based alternative to down feather pillow stuffing. Kapok pillows are soft, plush, and compress easily. The fiber is so soft and airy that it is also referred to as silk cotton. Not only are kapok fibers resistant to dust mites and antimicrobial, but they also repel moisture. This means that moisture cannot accumulate in a kapok pillow, making it an ideal choice for people with allergies or sensitivities.
Furthermore, these pillows do not run the risk of mold or bacteria growth. Kapok pillows are good for your health and provide support for a better night sleep. They can be easily adjusted to provide proper alignment between your head, neck and spine. They also repel water, which makes for a more comfortable night’s sleep. Kapok pillows can be washed without problems. From time to time, you can put your kapok pillow out in the sun for easy cleaning. Kapok fibers are durable and easy to transfer to a new cover when needed, and they will last for many years. Kapok-filled pillows have often been lauded for their softness and silkiness, as well as their ability to ‘bounce back’ after being fluffed or compressed. They may require more frequent fluffing than other types of pillows in order to distribute the filling evenly. To keep your kapok pillow in good condition, cover it with a zippered pillow protector first and then with a pillow case.
These two layers of fabric will reduce sweat and dust from getting into the fiber. Wash the cases weekly. Kapok fiber naturally repels dust mites; however, cotton pillow cases do not, so remember to wash your pillow protector and pillows regularly to prevent dust mite allergens. You can prolong the kapok fiber’s performance by keeping it free of moisture and dust. Keep in mind that soft kapok will naturally compact over time. You can help revive its loft by fluffing your pillow periodically. When choosing a Kapok pillow, consider an adjustable style so that you can remove or add fill as needed. The kapok fiber is coated with a water-resistant wax, making it buoyant. You can wash kapok pillows in your washing machine or with the hose on a delicate cycle. Be sure to dry thoroughly afterwards. A good quality kapok pillow will provide years of comfort and support. Choose a kapok pillow for luxury, comfort and better sleep.
