Why choose a kapok pillow?
Most people can recognize the experience of a feather or down pillow getting really hot during the night. The pillow gets so hot that you have to turn the pillow multiple times during the night, just to find a cold spot. This is because feathers and down are both incredibly good at insulating. The good insulating ability gives a really nice feeling during the cold months, when we want to retain the heat as much as possible. It's really nice, right up until the point where you've warmed the pillow and duvet up to body temperature. After this, the body needs to be able to get rid of the excess heat and moisture coming from the body. Unfortunately, this is where feathers and down often fall short. A kapok pillow is great at regulating the temeprature due to the lightness and structure of the kapok fiber, which allows heat and moisture to be transported away from the body. A kapok pillow is therefore particularly suitable for those who tend to feel too hot at night.
Kapok is a natural fiber that grows on the kapok tree Cebia pentranda 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 lighter and fluffier than cotton. The kapok fiber contains 80% air and is 8 times lighter than cotton, making it the lightest natural fiber in the world. The high air content in the kapok fiber is what makes it incredibly breathable and good at regulating heat and moisture.
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. A kapok pillow also differs by being water-resistant. The kapok fiber contains a natural layer of wax around each individual silky fiber. 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 fiber's many airy cavities. You will therefore find that a kapok pillow stays nice and dry throughout the night.
