WHY CHOOSE A KAPOK MATTRESS PAD FOR YOUR BABY?

A kapok mattress pad for babies can be used as a protective layer on the mattress or as extra comfort for your child. Since we have a wide range of mattress pads for babies that fit most popular baby beds, cribs, prams, etc., you are likely to find one that suits your needs. If we do not already have a kapok mattress pad that fits the dimensions you are looking for, we can always custom-make a mattress pad to your needs, so if this is the case, just contact us. Our mattress pads are all filled with 100% organic and untreated kapok with a cover of 100% organic cotton.

We often develop allergies and asthma in our early years, and we therefore believe it is important to create the best conditions for our children so that they do not develop allergies or asthma as babies. Therefore, a kapok baby mattress pad is an obvious choice to create a safe and hypoallergenic sleeping environment. 

Kapok contains a bitter substance that makes the fiber resistant to bacteria and dust mites. Additionally, kapok is breathable but water-repellent, which means that a kapok mattress pad will never become damp. Bacteria and dust mites need a moist environment to thrive, and they cannot live in kapok. 

The fact that the kapok mattress pad for babies is breathable and therefore temperature-regulating is also a great feature for infants and babies. They sweat a lot during their sleep as they have difficulty regulating their temperature themselves. Therefore, they need a breathable underlay that can draw heat away from the body without the child getting cold. Our kapok is 100% untreated. This means that we have not used pesticides, chemicals, or synthetic fibers during the cultivation, processing, or production of our kapok baby mattress pad. A kapok baby mattress pad is therefore an obvious choice when you want to create a hypoallergenic and organic sleeping environment for your child. 

What makes our kapok mattress pad for babies so special?

Cocoon Organic kapok series was developed because our youngest son, Phillip, was too hot using traditional sleeping products such as down, feather, and foam products. In our search for alternative materials, we came across the natural fiber kapok, which is fantastic for regulating heat and moisture. It is through the development of these kapok products that we found the solution for our son. But also the desire to create the best and most natural sleeping products for others so that they too could achieve a perfect night's sleep. 

A good night's sleep is crucial for our health, and therefore we believe it is important to find the sleeping products that suit your sleeping environment and preferences. Kapok is fantastic for everyone, but especially for those who tend to get too hot at night, as kapok is incredibly good at regulating heat around the body.

Benefits of a Cocoon Company kapok mattress pad for babies

• Natural breathability: Kapok's air-filled fibers allow for optimal airflow, helping to regulate temperature and reduce heat buildup.
• Moisture-wicking: The natural wax coating on kapok fibers repels water, effectively transporting moisture away from your body, providing a dry and comfortable night's sleep.
• Hypoallergenic: Our organic and untreated kapok fiber is naturally resistant to dust mites, mold, and allergens, making kapok an excellent choice for those with asthma, allergies, or sensitivity to synthetic materials.
• Eco-friendly resource: Our kapok is harvested from wild-growing kapok trees and not on monoculture plantations, which both supports local communities and reduces deforestation.
• Comfortable and soft: The unique structure of kapok fibers provides a soft, comfortable layer without compromising breathability or cleanliness.

How to take good care of your Kapok mattress pad

When you buy a new kapok mattress pad, you are surely looking forward to using it. To take the best possible care of your new natural product, it is important that you follow our general washing and maintenance guide. This way, they will retain their good, natural properties for as long as possible and ensure you a long lifespan for your new products.

We do not recommend washing our mattress pads before use. We know that many are used to washing new mattress pads and duvets made of synthetic or chemical materials before use, but our natural products should only be put in the washing machine when absolutely necessary. If there is a single stain, we recommend spot cleaning the area.

Kapok is a 100% natural and chemical-free fiber. The cover is made of organic cotton. Therefore, there are no residual chemicals or other unpleasant substances that you need to wash out of the product before use. When you wash a product, whether it is a piece of clothing, a duvet, or something else entirely, it will always change a little. Both the fabrics settle a bit after washing, and the filling material moves around. The same applies to your new kapok product.

If you still want to freshen up your mattress pad before use, we recommend instead hanging it outside in the fresh air. Additionally, we recommend that you shake your mattress pad outdoors once a month and let it hang and air out.

Kapok can take longer to dry than other fibers. Therefore, it is important to spin at maximum speed to get as much water out of the product as possible before putting it in the dryer. You may want to run an extra spin cycle. Then your product needs plenty of time in the dryer, preferably using our wool dryer balls.
