Same fill as the Wild-Harvested Kapok Pillow

Wild-harvested kapok fiber from Ceiba pentandra trees in Indonesian rainforests. The same fiber we put in our Kapok Pillow.
How to use it

Fluff the kapok by hand first to open the fibers. Open the side zipper on your existing pillow and add a handful at a time until the loft sits where you want.
No agriculture, no certification

Kapok grows wild outside the scope of GOTS. The pods shed naturally, the fiber is collected by hand, and it ships without chemical processing at any stage.
Hollow microtube fiber

Each kapok fiber is 80 to 90% air by volume, with a wall thickness of one to two microns. The structure is why kapok is the lightest natural fiber on earth.

Wild-harvested kapok grows inside seed pods on Ceiba pentandra trees in Indonesian rainforests. The pods shed and fall from the trees on their own, get picked clean by hand, and the fiber ships without passing through a single chemical process, because the raw material arrives soft and clean enough to use as it is.

When a Circadian Wild-Harvested Kapok Pillow eventually sits too low, this refill brings it back without replacing the pillow. It is the same wild-harvested kapok fiber used in every Circadian Wild-Harvested Kapok Pillow, sold by weight so you can bring back the height you started with. Open the pillow's side zipper, add kapok by hand until the height feels right, seal it back up. Kapok is the lightest natural fiber on earth, so a small amount adds noticeable height.

Origin and processing

Wild-harvested in Indonesia from naturally fallen Ceiba pentandra pods. The fiber's waxy coating keeps it too dry for dust mites to settle in, and because it is plant-based there are none of the feather allergens that come with down. Wild-harvested fiber sits outside the GOTS system because the trees aren't farmed, so we use "organic cotton cover" only when describing the pillow, not the kapok itself.

What you get

Sealed bag in 1.5 lb or 3 lb. Because kapok is the lightest natural fiber on earth, even the 1.5 lb bag expands to a meaningful top-up. The 3 lb is enough to fully refresh any pillow from Standard to King, with plenty extra to top up a Body pillow.

How to use it

Open the side zipper on your Circadian Kapok Pillow and add kapok by handful, shaking it loose as you go because the fiber packs down in the bag and opens up when released. Kapok sleeps best built into a soft mound, so give it a daily shake, pushing the edges toward the center, to keep it full. A daily shake also extends the time between refills.

Why kapok feels different

Each kapok fiber is a hollow microtube, 80 to 90 percent air by volume, with walls only 1 to 2 microns thick. That hollow structure is why kapok feels like down and why it's the lightest natural fiber on earth. The fiber's cell wall has a natural waxy coating that repels liquid water, which is why kapok resists mold and mildew without any treatment.
What you're not sleeping on

The list most pillow makers hope you never read. None of it is in a Circadian pillow.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this in any kapok pillow?

Yes. The fiber works in any zippered kapok pillow, ours or another brand. Open the side zipper, fluff the new kapok by hand to open the fibers, then add a handful at a time until the loft matches where you want it.
How often should I refill a kapok pillow?

Most people top off every two to four years. Kapok compresses more than any other natural fill we carry, which is one trade-off for the down-like softness. Adding fresh fiber restores the cloud feel without replacing the pillow.
Is kapok GOTS certified?

No. Kapok grows wild in rainforests, outside the scope of any textile certification body. There is no agricultural input to certify, because there is no agriculture. The fiber is collected by hand from naturally fallen pods, separated from the seeds, cleaned with air, and shipped.
Where does the kapok come from?

Indonesian rainforests, from Ceiba pentandra trees. The pods shed seasonally and drop on their own, so the fiber is wild-harvested without machinery. Each fiber is a hollow microtube, 80 to 90% air by volume, which is why kapok is the lightest natural fiber on earth.
Is kapok chemically processed?

No. The fiber receives no chemical processing of any kind on the way from the pod to the bag. The pods are manually picked clean, the fiber is separated from the seeds, and it ships. Nothing was bleached, softened, or chemically treated.
