Handmade 100% wild kapok pillow with 100% organic cotton ticking / casing. Kapok ceiba trees (the size of oak trees) grow wild in tropical regions like Hawaii, California, Brazil, and Thailand and yield mature pods full of fluffy cotton-like balls called vegan silk floss that can be used without processing to fill pillows. It’s very sustainable and has been used for centuries by people in Asia and South America to make organic natural pillows and bedding without any need for processing or traditional cultivation. The kapok ceiba tree’s massive thorns help protect it against damage and have become part of legends and lores in many cultures (such as in mythology in Thailand). We sanitize and clean the fluffy kapok fiber without using any chemicals before stuffing our wild kapok pillows with it. Vegan. Standard, Queen, King Bed Pillows. Soft, Medium, Firm Loft. Optional zipper to be able to adjust fill. Option to add a 1-lb separate Kapok fiber for additional filling as needed.

The miracle of nature. Many people have never heard of kapok trees, also known as ceibu trees. This giant miracle of a tree bears up to 4,000 fruit pods, which, when ripe, burst open to reveal vegan silk floss which is fluffier and lighter than cotton and which can be used as-is to fill a fluffy down-like pillow that is vegan, organic and cruelty-free. Our Kea Lani organic kapok pillow is one of our customers’ all-time favorite. Get a vegan organic kapok pillow today for yourself and your loved ones. The casing is 100% organic cotton. Handmade in USA.

Because the kapok / ceibu tree’s dense, very big thorns gave rise to many myths, legends and lores. One such, from Thai culture, says that a person who tells many lies will be punished in perpetuity in hell by being made to climb the kapok / ceibu tree. Legends aside, the kapok tree is incredible. It’s nature’s gift to a good night’s sleep, all pure and unprocessed and perfect.

We offer this organic, all-natural pillow with or without zipper. With zipper, you can take out the filling and wash the ticking in a machine or by hand; or even replace the filling when desired. Without zipper, spot-clean only, using warm water and gentle soap and a brush. For most spills, a mild solution of 3 parts water to one part vinegar, applied with a spray bottle, will be sufficient. We recommend using a Organic Cotton Pillow Barrier Cloth Protector, to keep your pillow as pristine as possible and keep out dust mites. Please keep your pillow completely dry at all times.
