Handmade 100% wild kapok bed pillows with organic cotton ticking / casing. Kapok is a great natural substitute to cotton and wool. Kapok trees are huge tropical trees which grow in places like California and Hawaii; they bear pods that burst open when ripe to reveal ready-to-use fluffy 100% natural kapok fiber that is perfect for stuffing pillows and other bedding. It's very low-impact and sustainable. Vegan; wool-free. Standard, Queen, King Bed Pillows. Soft, Medium, Firm Loft. This wild kapok pillow features an optional zipper to be able to better adjust fill to your liking. Option to add a 1-lb separate kapok fiber for additional filling as needed. The perfect vegan pillow substitute for down pillows. This polyester-free, plastic-free pillow is breathable for optimal temperature regulation during the night.

To ensure that every customer gets sent a brand-new product, all pillows, comfortables, mattresses and futons sold by Rawganique are not returnable. They are packaged in plastic to prevent contamination in transit. If you believe you may be sensitive to natural fiber oils, please order a small pillow sample first. We offer pillow samples and mattress samples in all fill materials for you to test out our organic pillows, comforters and mattresses in miniature form which can be used as pin cushions or seat cushions in the case of mattress samples. For optimal flexibility, we recommend getting the firmest pillows in a zippered version, so you can adjust the fill to your liking over time. Thank you for your understanding and respecting our small scale.

100% Wild Kapok Bed Pillow

What is Kapok?
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 ceibu 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.

Kapok pillows are a vegan & sustainable alternative to down pillows. Soft and fluffy. Hypoallergenic. Customize the pillow to your personal needs with choice of loft and zipper to access and adjust the content as needed.

Are truly natural products scent-free?

No, because most if not all natural things have scents. We must distinguish between natural and synthetic smells. A tomato leaf has a scent, a rose petal has a scent, organic cotton fiber has a scent. Most manufacturers use acids and chemicals instead of the organic and natural cleaning materials that we use, because we strive to make our products as natural as possible.

You may notice a smell when you unpack your new comforter. This is the smell of the natural fibers, all of which contain natural oils. The smell will dissipate quickly over time, and faster so with exposure to fresh air.

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.

Note: It normally takes 10-14 days to custom-make organic pillows for you. Plus ground shipping transit time to you. We may have stock of the popular sizes, in which case your order will be shipped out within 24 hours (on business days).
