Why choose a kapok pillow?
Most people can nod in recognition of the experience of a feather or down pillow getting warm during the night. You get so hot that you have to turn the pillow during the night to get the cold side. This is because feathers and down are both incredibly good at insulating. The good insulating ability gives a nice feeling during the cold months when we want to keep the heat as much as possible. It's nice, right up until you've warmed the pillow and duvet up to body temperature. After this, the body needs to get rid of the excess heat and moisture from the body. Unfortunately, this is where feathers and down often fall short. A kapok pillow is great for regulating heat due to the lightness and structure of the kapok fibre, which allows heat and moisture to be transported away from the body. A kapok pillow is therefore particularly suitable for those of you who tend to feel too hot at night.
Kapok is a natural fibre that grows on the kapok tree Cebia entrada in the tropical rainforests of South and Central America, India and in the western part of Africa. You can partially compare kapok with cotton, but kapok differs by being much airier than cotton. The kapok fibre contains 80% air and is thus 8 times lighter than cotton, making it the lightest natural fibre in the world. The high air content in the kapok fibre is what makes it incredibly temperature-regulating and breathable.
When you sleep with a kapok pillow, you will therefore find that the pillow adapts to your body temperature. A kapok pillow is therefore one of the best things to sleep with if you have problems with sweating or simply find an ordinary down pillow too warm and insulating. A kapok pillow also differs by being water-resistant. The kapok fibre contains a natural layer of wax around each silky fibre. This means that the kapok pillow will not absorb the moisture and sweat that the body emits during the night. Instead, the moisture is transported away from the body through the fibre's many airy cavities. You will therefore find that a kapok pillow stays nice and dry throughout the night
