Kapok summer duvets

Kapok summer duvet

Kapok summer duvet is approx. half as much filling as a regular kapok duvet and is therefore very suitable for a hot summer or for those who just feel extra warm at night. The half amount of filling also means that it is not as robust as the year-round duvet, understood in the sense that the filling will tangle more easily during use. It can create small cold bridges in the sewn areas of the duvet. So be careful to keep washing to an absolute minimum and instead hang duvets for airing.

Kapok is also called silk cotton. It is light and breathable and transports moisture away from the body.

Kapok is also recommended for allergy sufferers, as kapok contains an antibacterial bitter substance that house dust mites cannot live in.

The quilt is hand-filled with untreated organic kapok, covered with a spring of 100% organically certified cotton.

The quilt measures 140x200 cm.

The weighs approx. 1200 grams.

Be aware that kapok duvets may feel different from ordinary down duvets. It is slightly heavier than down and perhaps a little more like a cotton blanket.

Maintenance of your kapok duvet

And they are definitely worth taking good care of.

If the stains are smaller, we recommend spot washing.

But if it is necessary to wash your kapok duvet, do it like this:

• Wash at 40 degrees to be gentle the fiber. However, 60 degrees is possible if necessary.
• Choose a short washing program, as the kapok cannot stand being wet for too long
• Choose centrifugation at 1200 revolutions to get as much water as possible out of the kapok
• Use a gentle detergent without enzymes or bleach. For example Cocoon's soap berry or a delicate detergent with or without probiotics
• Do not use fabric softener
• Dry the kapok duvet immediately after washing

• Kapok duvets are dried alone in the dryer
• Give yourself plenty of time. We recommend using dryer balls in wool to reduce drying time. They also ensure that the fibers are gently separated
• Do not use tennis balls as they break the fiber
• Choose a 30 minute program with medium heat. Look at the kapok pillow and repeat until it is slightly damp.
• Let the kapok duvet dry in a warm place until the rest of the moisture is gone.
• Be careful not to dry for too long in the dryer, as this can reduce the life of the fiber.
