Lightweight Natural Plant Filling
Kapok is a naturally lightweight plant fibre collected from the seed pods of the kapok tree (Ceiba pentandra). The silky floss surrounding the seeds is harvested, cleaned and prepared as a natural filling material.
Kapok fibres are extremely light — around one eighth the weight of cotton — and have natural buoyancy and resilience. The fibre is also naturally moisture resistant and quick drying.
Because kapok fibres are short and brittle, they are not suitable for spinning or felting. Instead, they are widely used as a plant-based filling for cushions, toys and textile projects.
The seed pods of the kapok tree are harvested or collected once they fall from the tree. The pods are opened and the seeds are separated from the surrounding fibre. The fibre is then cleaned and prepared for use.

Fluff the fibre before use to create even loft.

A funnel or wide-neck opening can help when filling smaller items.
Kapok can also be blended with other natural fillings to adjust firmness.
Keep kapok filling inside a removable inner cover where possible.
Air and fluff regularly.
If washing an encased item, ensure it dries completely.
