Kapok junior pillows

Kapok pillow for juniors

Junior head pillow in organic and natural kapok from Cocoon Company.

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

Kapok has special insulating and temperature-regulating properties that ensure that your body is tempered throughout the night through.

And then kapok is a completely natural material that does not contain mold shelf, flame retardants or fluorine substances.

The cushion has a zip so you can get in to the filling. You can therefore regulate the amount of filling yourself and possibly add it later if the pillow becomes too flat.

You can also use the filling if you want to wash the cover.

The pillow measures 40x45 cm.

Maintenance of your kapok pillow

Kapok is a natural fiber with quite unique properties.

And they are definitely worth taking good care of. on.

like this:

How to wash your kapok pillow

• Wash preferably at 40 degrees to protect 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 pad immediately after wash

How to dry your kapok pillow

• The kapok pillow is dried alone in the tumble 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 pillow dry in a warm place until the rest of the moisture is gone.
• Be careful not to dry too long in the dryer, as this can reduce the life of the fiber.

Extra airy at first
When the pillow is new, the kapok fibre is completely fresh and airy, so the pillow will feel extra full at first. As the pillow is used, the fibre settles and the pillow becomes flatter.

The pillow measures 40x45 cm and fits a standard Danish junior pillowcase.

Kapok – a light natural fibre
Kapok comes from the seed pods of the kapok tree. The pods are picked and emptied, the fibre is dried in the sun, and the seeds are removed. The fibre is then blown through a wind tunnel, where the finest fibres are separated out and used to fill duvets and pillows. The fibre is hollow and made up of around 80% air, and a thin natural wax coating on the surface makes it water-repellent.

Washing and care
We recommend washing the pillow as little as possible, and only when necessary. Instead, air it regularly or freshen it up with byoms' odour remover with probiotics, so it does not need washing. The more often a natural product is washed, the more wear it takes.

If an accident happens and the pillow needs washing, wash it at 40 degrees with an enzyme-free detergent and no fabric softener. Use a programme with a high spin, and do not leave the pillow sitting wet. Feel free to give it an extra spin – the better it is spun, the easier it is to dry.

Put the pillow in the tumble dryer on medium-high heat straight after washing, and if needed dry it in several short rounds until it is completely dry. Take the pillow out between rounds and let it steam off a little before it goes back in. Pull apart any small clumps of fibre along the way.
