KapoK is a wonderful mould & chemical free vegan alternative to toxic petrochemical micro fibres, foam, gels and synthetics, unforgiving latex, crunchy buckwheat husks and animal byproducts https://www.goldilocksnaturalbedding.com.au/pages/kapok-product-care 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damrongsak Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Kapok is used in the traditional mattresses and pillows. When I was young, it was used in life vests. Trees can get very large. Younger ones have some green bark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friends aunt in Maha Sarakam makes pillows as a side line (not large scale), definitely uses rice straw but not sure if she uses kapok 100%. Here's an interesting bit of history (at least as early as 13th century probably a lot earlier) and current status from a guy that used to be in the business: https://mythailand.blog/2016/09/13/thai-pillow-information/ Edited November 22, 2020 by Salerno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
