Kapok is a natural fiber that comes from the Ceiba Tree in Central America. Kapok fibers come from the trees seed pods, which shed seasonally, meaning there is no machinery required to harvest it.
With a silky and fluffy consistency, kapok has the benefits of being fluffy like down, but plant-based like cotton, making it a wonderful vegan down alternative.

Simply store any excess material in a moisture and pest-proof container, or order more kapok fiber from our Wholesale Fibers section.The Organic Cotton Sateen fabric used in this product is GOTS Certified and Imported from Pakistan.
HISTORY OF KAPOK
- Kapok fibers were in the all-natural life preservers used by G.I.s in World War II.
- In the 1920, explorers conquering Mt. Everest typically wore high-altitude boots with kapok insulation, leather outers, gaiters and crampons
- Kapok fibers are one eighth (0.08) the weight of cotton.
- Kapok was one of the first ancient non-food plants cultivated across Southeast Asia.
- Kapok was routinely used for pillows before goose down; Kapok is Retro Green.
- HERE’S A GOOD ONE THAT SUPPORTS WHY KAPOK IS BETTER THAN GOOSE DOWN:
- In theory, as the down moult naturally, the birds shouldn't mind if it’s taken. The reality: goose down is the byproduct of keeping millions of birds around the world in cages, the lion’s share before they are slaughtered for cheap meat, or foie gras. Therefore, buying down products carries the high risk of making you complicit in this industry.
- Kapok is a vegetable down. It’s been used for years in the maritime industry because of its buoyancy. In the 1940s, all sorts of items - life belts, seating cushions, mattresses — were filled with Kapok, which is water repellant and enables it to keep afloat from 30 to 35 times its weight. Ordinary cork can only support 5 times its weight. — article in Grey River Argus, 16-October 1907, which was published 107 years ago to the day!!!

Cleaning Your Pillows
We always recommend spot-cleaning our pillows — never saturate them with any liquid. We always recommend to our customers that they add one of our protective Waterproof pillow covers, to ensure spills never get out of hand.
To spot clean, we suggest a mild solution of three parts water to one part vinegar in a spray bottle, but for particularly stubborn spills, a mild detergent is perfectly fine to add to the bottle as well.
Always ensure your pillow is thoroughly dried after a spot cleaning, either by using a hair dryer or placing it in the sun to air out.

These pillows are very well made! I love having a natural filling for the pillows! I’ve had neck issues for years and the Cradle pillow is so supportive and comfortable!

February 21, 2024
Earthy smell initially which I kinda liked. I feel like I got good value for the kapok pillows. There are three tiers for the amount of fill in the pillows. Probably could have gone with first tier. The middle is a bit too high for my neck. This is a personal choice. It is no reflection on the product itself. It's a 5 star product.

The pillows are very comfortable and "green".

We recently purchased two kapok body pillows which we use on two daybeds. They are incredibly comfortable and as with any of WLH products that I have purchased, it’s wonderful to know that they are made from non-toxic materials, which is a priority for me.

The *** pillows are the best; I've been buying them for my kids for years. My kids say they are fluffy and comfy but they like them a thin, so I always get the ones with the least *** in them.

Sarah Lozanova

I received my Kapok Sleep Pillow and love it! It's fluffy yet compressible, and I like that it is possible to remove a bit of the filling because I have one with a zipper. I often get neck pain from pillows, but I definitely didn't with this pillow. Also, I really appreciate how it has natural fibers that can be sustainably harvested. The pillow is very reasonably priced when compared to other similar products on the market.
Sherry G (Keyport, WA)
October 03, 2022
I have 2 Kapok Sleep Pillows, one regular size and one queen size. They are so comfortable and just right for me on my bed. I highly recommend this type of pillow. I purchased the one with the zipper and I did remove some of the stuffing from one of the pillows; I appreciate the ability and ease to adjust it just right for my comfort level.

Til I came across your website I hadn't heard the word kapok since the *** Why isn't it a more common fill for bed pillows?? Natural fiber, dissipates heat well - what's not to like? The workmanship appears to be excellent, the zipper to customize the fill level is ingenious - another feature that should be standard with pillows - and I find myself sleeping more soundly than I have in a long time. All in all an excellent product.

December 29, 2021
I ordered the softest (lowest fill) version of the Kapok pillow with a zipper so I can adjust it even more if I want to. I prefer a low pillow but there are three different choices for amount of *** to accomodate individual preferences. I recommend this pillow for stomach sleepers as well as other positions; I fall asleep on my stomach but switch to sleeping on my back. I find this pillow comfortable for all positions. The quality is excellent as was the price; I couldn't be happier with this purchase.
Ann Marie M (Manchester, NH)

I am due to the K pack pillows. I am about to experiment with removing some of the filling to get the desired firmness.
Molly Reed
September 12, 2021
This is the best pillow I’ve ever used! It was too firm at first but I just took a little of the fluff out and it’s perfect now. I have a lot of back and neck problems. This is the best support. The cover is soft, there’s no strange smell. Awesome!

I have a buckwool pillow as well as bedding from WLH, for about 6 years now. I usually unstitch my buckwool pillow and hand wash, getting rid of hull dust every so often, and add fresh buckwheat hulls as well. Recently I had considered getting a large down pillow, but was put off by the fact it's animal; and more importantly the cost of those feathers! I sure wouldn't want to give up MY feathers.
I am beyond grateful to have had the oppourtunity to try a Kapok pillow! If my budget allowed I would replace ALL my pillows with white lotus products. But in time! And the fact that the seed pod collection doesn't harm the tree or ecosystem at all in amazing. I hope they are stewarding these forests well!
These Kapok pillows are adjustable with the zipper. A HUGE plus. Stitching my buckwool I find hulls around for a few weeks after refilling. The zipper is going to make this convenient!
The pillow is firm, but squishable. It gives, but is still super soft and supportive all at the same time. I use it as a side sleeper to support my hips and knees. It holds some warmth, which helps keep my legs warmer. But buckwool is certainly the way to go if you were previously a 'search for the cool spot of the pillow' when you wake up.
Hey Marlon? How about a KapokBuck?

Love this product. Both of my kids sleep on the Kapok pillows from WLH. I purchase the ones with zippers so that we can adjust the fill amount. If you have family members who prefer really flat pillows, also great to purchase an extra pillow cover and divide the fill among two pillows :)

Obsessed with these pillows! My husband and I keep saying since we’ve gotten them we have never slept better! We got the standard medium pillow with the zipper so that you can refill it when needed. Much more environmentally conscious! Will exclusively be buying white lotus products for bedding for now on!

Quality product,natural,comfortable.
Deanna W (Fairfax, Vermont)
September 12, 2020
I love this pillow! I got the medium fill and didn’t have to remove anything. I loved it from night 1 and don’t think I can say that about any other pillow I’ve ever owned, except for the shredded latex pillow I also got from White Lotus at the same time. It’s great for both back and side sleeping and it’s soo much better than down or feather pillows because it has more “bounce.” I almost want to order another one because I don’t ever want to be without this pillow!

I love these pillows and am so glad that were recommend. I didn't even know what *** was, so I never even looked at it. It's very comfortable and I love that they come w/zippers so I can make them as soft or as firm as I like. They feel similar to down pillows. I would recommend them to anyone.
Morgan H (Sandy, Utah)

Tina G.
March 04, 2020
I love these pillows! I skipped right over them when looking for pillows here..cuz I've never even heard of kapok, but was so lucky to speak w/Elizabeth who referred me to the kapok pillows. I bought them in the "soft" version w/the zippers. I love my pillows super soft and these are perfect, also since they have zippers you can adjust the softness w/how much stuffing is in them and I love that. I have immune issues and sensitivities, but this item hasn't bothered my immune system at all. I'm very happy w/this purchase and would highly recommend White Lotus.
Sarah B (Durham, North Carolina)
February 27, 2020
I aired the pillow for a couple of days. It also allowed the pillow to return to its original shape as it had been folded over to fit in a box. Kapok is an amazing material and perfect for my sleeping needs. I prefer a firm pillow that's quick thick. As I purchased the standard size with a zip pillowcase, I was able to take some of the kapok out to reduce the thickness. Otherwise, there's no way the pillow could have fitted in more than just one standard pillowcase I own. I've been sleeping on this pillow for about a month and it's very comfortable and quite possibly the best pillow I've slept on.

Sleeping is so much better with the kapok pillows. My husband uses the king size pillow to support his hips when sleeping, rather than the body pillow; it works wonderfully. I have recommended this company to everyone I know. Hard to find this level of quality and service anywhere.

My kids and I absolutely love WLH Kapok Pillows. They are THE most comfortable pillows. I just ordered each of us another one.

We already have some of White Lotus’s wool pillows which we love, but I was recently able to try a kapok sleep pillow and have found it to be just as great! So cool and comfortable!! I had no trouble falling and staying asleep with it. I love that even though natural materials were used, there was no “natural smell” to it. Definitely a new favorite!

We love our kapok pillows! It feels great sleeping on something all natural. I highly recommend purchasing kapok pillows with zippers because it gives you the ability to remove or add kapok when needed for firmer or softer sleep. Our kapok pillows from WLH have lasted us many years!

I recently had an opportunity to try out my friend's Kapok Pillow. I can't remember the last time I slept so well. 😊 I was so impressed with how comfy it was, and how non toxic it was that I ordered them for all of us. I feel good knowing that we are not inhaling toxic chemicals while we sleep. After all, our bodies heal while we sleep, having typical pillows kind of hinders that. Thank you for making such a wonderful product. I plan on purchasing the Natural Shredded Latex Pillows in the near future as well.

I am so excited to try out my new pillow! My mother in law bought if for me as a Christmas gift. I received samples of various materials to test out and really liked how soft the kapok was with no scent to it. I am really sensitive to smells.

We recently purchased two kapok sleeping pillows with zippers. We have allergies and find the kapok filling works best for us and we were pleased with the zippers which allows us to refill with extra kapok if needed.
These pillows are wonderful and play a big part in getting a good nights sleep. We find that changing our pillows every couple of years is necessary. We plan to only buy these from Lotus because we trust the quality.

I love my kapok pillow. It reminds me of down to some degree. I ordered mine with the zipper option so I could adjust the firmness to best suit my comfort. It really is very comfortable!

I absolutely love my kappa pillows. The zipper option is the best. I can add or remove filling to make the PERFECT pillow. I will NEVER buy another pillow, again.

I’ll never use any other pillow again. I bought a White Lotus Kapok pillow when I had my first baby, and it’s the only pillow that supported my neck and head while side nursing all night. My now 4 year old was constantly stealing my pillow because it was so soft, so I ordered two more and I’m going to continue replacing all our pillows with Kapok. We love them!

I am so pleased with my kapok pillows. I've had them several years and have recommended them and White Lotus to others. I am very sensitive and really appreciated being able to get samples to test and still have the sale price at the time honored once I was tested. I only could tolerate the kapok & organic cotton. I also purchased the organic barrier cloth protective covers that are high quality, as everything seems to be.. I would recommend getting the pillows with zippers so the amount of kapok can be adjusted and added to as the pillow ages. The staff has always been very accommodating and helpful.

I purchased 1 of these for my toddler as I wanted her to have a safe, comfortable first pillow for her big girl bed. Great too that it came with the option for a zipper so we can take a little of the stuffing out if necessary. I think I need to upgrade a couple more pillows in our home!
So happy with my pillow!
March 21, 2018
I got a kapok body pillow and I love it!! It came so much firmer then I was expecting which I was so happy about! I DEFINETELY recommend getting the “with zipper” option...I was able to take some of the filling out and save it...(that way it lasts longer as well...whenever it starts going flat just add that extra filling back in or buy more and fill it) No problems with lumps. Very comfortable!

I have been using Kapok pillows for years and I love these pillows.\nThere is exactly enough fill in them and they are so much better than down or any other content.

Really love the pillow but it went flat very quickly (like within a week) and developed lumps. Seems well-made but the filling isn't holding up as well as I would like. Probably will not purchase another.

If you're used to sleeping on cheap foam pillows, you'll be incredibly happy with these! My husband, myself and our kids all have kapok pillows. While at first they seemed a little firm, they've become very comfortable and provide good, even neck support. There is no chemical smell and they are well made. I am happy to support this local, green company.

In Burlington, VT we are lucky enough to have a retailer in town so I can try all the White Lotus Home Products. My favorites are the kapok pillows and the wool wrapped latex mattress. Kapok is so soft and silky! It's a very special tree that produces an amazing fiber. I am waiting for some new guest cots to arrive that will be going into a DIY pull out couch. So excited!

We have been using our new Kapok pillows for a week and are very happy with the support and comfort they provide. We have 1 standard medium fill and 1 soft contour with zipper. (see review for contour pillows in contour pillow section)
The standard pillow appeared much bigger/deeper than what we are use to. To our surprise it was very comfortable and so far not too firm as some have suggested. This could change over time as the kapok fibers compress. Getting the zipper option allows for ease in adjusting both the amount of and fluffing of the fiber. Giving the pillow a good shake can help too! The outer cotton shell is a very good quality fabric and construction.
We have tried various materials in pillows at different price points. We try to avoid synthetic materials. There was no off gassing evident at all. These are the best pillows so far! We hope they last as it has been a long search to get the right product to meet our needs.
Although we experienced some delivery problems initially White Lotus Home were very prompt in addressing the problem and they were an absolute pleasure to do business with from my initial order on. We look forward to gradually replacing all of our pillows with their Kapok products!

I have been sleeping on a wool pillow for about 7 years and a few months ago purchased a Kapok pillow from here. I was impressed from the first night. It was comfortable right away and has not let me down yet. I do find that the materials compress but with a simple fluff before I lay down for the night, the pillow is right back to how it was the first night. I recommend getting the one with the zipper so you can adjust the amount of material inside. The medium has been perfect for my 8 year old son and myself. I got the firm for my husband and it's a touch too firm so we are able to take little out and make it just right (before he was sleeping on about 3 pillows). I highly recommend this pillow and especially this company who is a pleasure to work with.

Have been using kopak pillows for about 10 years. This is our third one. It is easy to maintain and stays fresh even after 10 years. Our first one has shrunk over the past 10 years but we shouldn't have used it for that long anyway. It is soft, supportive, and conform to the shape of our necks. "Malleable" as buckwheat pillows but much softer. It keeps the head warm but does not overheat the back of the head as polyester ones. It is wonderful for all seasons.

I love me bed! My mattress is a futon, 7 inch, organic cotton, with a thin mattress filled with wool on top. And my latest addition, two Kapok filled pillows! They are so soft and still supportive. In the winter they’re extra good because they keep my head warm. I got two, which I didn’t need but I’m really glad I did.
Hi, I just wondered if your kapok had to be replaced after a certain amount of time. I purchased 2 pillows for my kids about 1.5-2 years ago and I had so much excess fiber, that I stored it and was now going to replace the fiber in their pillows with the kapok I had stored. From everything I read on your website, I didn’t see there were any concerns with the length of time you had the fiber but I just wanted to be sure. Thank you!
Hello Alex,
We do offer care instructions but due the fact that it all boils down to wear and tear, we do not suggest a particular time frame to replace or update your pillow. Funny enough, we are about to release an email news in a few minutes that touches up on this. If you are not on our mailing list, I can forward it to you as soon as it is available. With that said, our own customers keep their WLH pillows for a few years before they decide to upgrade them or replace them. I do hope this and the information below is helpful:
The best way to adjust your zippered White Lotus Home pillows is to:
1. Stand the pillow up so that you are facing the Zippered part.
2. Sift and shake the fibers inside so that they are away from the Zipper before you open the zipper. This will avoid the fibers from getting caught on the zipper
3. Remove 5 handfuls at a time, feel free to save the fibers removed, for future use. They can be stored in a box, paper or plastic bags
4. Give the pillow a try and it should work, if not, try #3 again as many times as necessary to meet your preferred conform level
5. Need more fiber to increase the fill? No problem: https://www.whitelotushome.com/wholesale-fibers/
Thank you for choosing White Lotus Home!

Hello! I saw that the kapok in your pillows is not organic. Is it treated with any chemicals or pesticides, or is it essentially organic just without the certification?
Yes, Great catch! Since Kapok grows freely in the rainforest there is essentially no need for certification, please let us know if there are any other questions.
Aloha, are these naturally mildew resistant? Would they be okay in high humidity environment?
Aloha,
We have a lot of great details about kapok under Fibers, but kapok grows in rainforest and it is pretty resistant to heat and mildew: Nothing compares to kapok. Softer and lighter than down, perfectly compressible for pillows, and naturally harvested from the Ceiba tree, kapok is the ideal filling for a pillow. Kapok is harvested from seed pods that are dropped from trees in tropical rain forest regions, meaning your purchase of kapok is helping to preserve the life of a tree and encourage local economies in Indonesia and other tropical regions.
Almost no work is required to turn the raw material into bedding fiber: it's manually picked clean, spun, and sent to us! If you like clean and sustainable products, you'll love kapok. And if you love soft pillows, you'll settle for nothing else.
HISTORY OF KAPOK: Kapok fibers were in the all-natural life preservers used by G.I.s in World War II.
In the 1920, explorers conquering Mt. Everest typically wore high-altitude boots with kapok insulation, leather outers, gaiters and crampons
Kapok fibers are one eight (0.08) the weight of cotton.
Kapok was one of the first ancient non-food plants cultivated across Southeast Asia.
Kapok was routinely used for pillows before goose down; Kapok is Retro Green.
HERE’S A GOOD ONE THAT SUPPORTS WHY KAPOK IS BETTER THAN GOOSE DOWN:
In theory, as the down moults naturally, the birds shouldn't mind if it’s taken. The reality: goose down is the byproduct of keeping millions of birds around the world in cages, the lion’s share before they are slaughtered for cheap meat, or foie gras. Therefore, buying down products carries the high risk of making you complicit in this industry.

My 3 year old is potty training and she sat on my pillow (I didn't know she was sitting on it, I thought she was just sitting on my bed) and accidentally peed on it. I sprayed it with a cleaner that is meant for bedwetting and pet accidents, but I don't know if that is enough to get it clean... What should I do? Do I need to buy a whole new pillow? :/

How do you store excess kapok?
It can be stored in a sealable bag, even like a zip lock bag. Thanks!
Is The kapok White Lotus Home uses in pillows or to sell as a bulk fiber, certified organic?
The kapok we have been using since 2008 or so, is not organic certified. It is a fiber that grows in the rainforest just like bamboo and there has never been much of a request or need for organic certification.
It comes from Indonesia, since it does not grow in large quantities in the USA due to our lack of rainforest weather. However, we are able to get it GOTS Certified organic as soon as we are able to buy over 20 tons at a time. Something we are going to consider doing in the next year or so. Nothing compares to kapok. Softer and lighter than down, perfectly compressible for pillows, and naturally harvested from the Ceiba tree, kapok is the ideal filling for a pillow. Kapok is harvested from the seed pods that are dropped from trees in tropical rainforest regions, meaning your purchase of kapok is helping to preserve the life of a tree and encourage local economies in Indonesia and other tropical regions. Almost no work is required to turn the raw material into bedding fiber: it's manually picked clean, spun, and sent to us! If you like clean and sustainable products, you'll love kapok. And if you love soft pillows, you'll settle for nothing else. Used in: Sold as a Raw Bulk Fiber, Making Pillows and meditation zafus and cushions.

It states that you do not recommend washing these pillows in a washing machine. How should they be cleaned after months of use?
Care and Cleaning: Pillows, Duvets, and Bedding
As they are raw, minimally processed fibers, our products cannot be completely submerged in water without damaging the fibers within. This includes pillows and duvets.
We recommend spot cleaning your White Lotus Home pillows, duvets, and bedding with a solution of 3 parts water to one part vinegar. Spray the solution onto the stain and expose to sunlight. Let dry and repeat until the stain fades and odors dissipate. You can also substitute vinegar with a mild laundry detergent. For surface stains, hydrogen peroxide works well for blood, whereas rubbing alcohol can help to remove oils from cosmetics.
Bedding should not remain damp, as it may encourage uneven wear or mold growth. Following a spill or cleaning, dry any moisture by placing the item in the sun or by using a hair dryer. Ensure it is fully dry before re-adding sheets or protective covers, such as our Barrier Cloth Covers.
Please note that these suggestions are at your own risk. Results may vary.
Refreshing Pillows & Duvets
Some fibers, particularly kapok, can absorb the natural oils that keep our face and skin healthy. To restore loft and fluffiness, pillows may be placed in the dryer on the "Cold Air/ Fluff" setting for 15 to 20 minutes. Specially-designed wool dryer balls or clean tennis balls can aid in fluffing the inner fibers. To prevent any damage to the inner fibers, never use a heated setting.

I want to buy two pillows for my 3 year old and 5 year old. I want a standard size but I don’t know what firmness to get or if I should go with the zipper option?
A soft filled Kapok should work for either of them. The zipper is always good to have if you need to remove some of the fill or add to it if needed. Thanks!
What is the thickness/height of a firm kapok pillow? Thanks.
A FIRM Kapok pillow would have an estimated thickness/height of approximately 6". Please let us know if you have any further questions by emailing info@whitelotushome.com or calling 732-828-2111.
where are you pillows made? in china?
No, all of our pillows are handcrafted by us in New Brunswick, NJ. :) All made in the USA!
Hello! Are the Kapok pillows treated with flame retardants?
No, our Kapok pillows are all natural and not treated with any flame retardants. Thanks!
Do you treat the kapok fibers in any way with any product? How are they processed?
Kapok grows in the rainforest so it is not treated and we do not treat it with anything either. Kapok fiber is manually picked clean, spun, and sent to us in bales that we open up and manually separate and fluff up to use in our pillows. Please let us know if you have any further questions. You can call us at 732-828-2111 or email us at info@whitelotushome.com.
I purchased two kapok pillows about a year ago and they are all lumpy now. Do you have any suggestions? I have been waking up with my ears hurting because the pillows are so hard. :( Thanks! Courtney
