Qualities of kapok - Duvet

KAPOK IS HYPOALLERGENIC AND ORGANIC

Kapok is 100% organic. No herbicides, pesticides or other chemicals are used in its production. For people interested in hypoallergenic materials, kapok is the natural choice.

OUR KAPOK MATTRESS IS ANTIBACTERIAL

Kapok fibers contain wax, lignin and bitter substances. It is the only natural fiber that is naturally resistant to mold and pesticides. Its antibacterial qualities mean that house dust mites cannot live in kapok, and this makes it especially well-suited for babies.

KAPOK IS TEMPERATURE REGULATING

Kapok fiber consists of 80% air. It is eight times lighter than cotton, making it the lightest natural fiber in the world. The airy fibers make kapok an absorbent material that has insulating and heat-regulating qualities. This helps ensure that your baby has a comfortable sleep.

BREATHABLE

This light and airy fiber structure makes kapok breathable. Its moisture wicking quality means that moisture is not absorbed in the material, but is drawn away from the body through the air spaces. There is not a sensation of moisture that can be felt in products made of cotton, down, linen or wool. Instead, your baby will have a very dry and pleasant night’s sleep.

WASHING AND CLEANING YOUR KAPOK MATTRESS

The kapok mattress cannot be washed with water. It is good for the fibers to air out the mattress outdoors about once a month in dry weather.
