Why choose a kapok summer duvet?

Most people can relate to the experience of a feather or down duvet becoming very warm during the night. You get so warm that you need to lift the duvet a bit during the night to cool down. This is because feathers and down are both fantastic at insulating. The good insulating ability provides a really nice feeling during the cold months when we want to retain as much heat as possible. It's really nice until you've warmed the duvet and mattress to body temperature. After that, the body needs to get rid of the excess heat and moisture. This is where feathers and down often fall short. A kapok duvet is fantastic at regulating heat around the body due to the lightness and structure of the kapok fiber, which allows heat and moisture to be transported away from the body. A kapok duvet is therefore especially suitable for those who tend to get too warm at night.

Kapok is a natural fiber that grows on the kapok tree Cebia pentandra in the tropical rainforests of southern and central America, India, and the western part of Africa. You can partially compare kapok to cotton, but kapok differs by being much airier than cotton. The kapok fiber contains 80% air and is thus 8 times lighter than cotton, making it the world's lightest natural fiber. The high air content in the kapok fiber is what makes it incredibly temperature-regulating and breathable.

When you sleep with a kapok duvet, you will experience that the duvet adapts to your body temperature. A kapok duvet is therefore one of the best things to sleep with if you have problems with night sweats or simply find a regular down duvet too warm and insulating. A kapok duvet also stands out by being water-repellent. Kapok contains a natural layer of wax around each silky-soft fiber. This means that the kapok duvet will not absorb the moisture and sweat that the body emits during the night. Instead, the moisture is transported away from the body through the fiber's many airy cavities. You will therefore find that a kapok duvet remains wonderfully dry throughout the night.

Here you will find the luxurious Cocoon kapok duvet with kapok fiber filling in the dimensions 140x220 cm. The duvet is the Danish standard size adult duvet with extra length; a size that is also easy to findadult beddingfor.

The duvet offers you a completely new experience of how a night's sleep can be. With its exceptional breathable properties, kapok creates the perfect conditions for maintaining an even body temperature throughout the night, ensuring you no longer wake up drenched in sweat. The fibers consist of 80% hollow space, making them very airy and light. Additionally, the fiber is water-repellent and will transport moisture and sweat away, allowing you a more restful sleep.

Our kapok is a 100% organic and untreated natural fiber, which we fill into a cover of organic, GOTS certified cotton. No chemicals or synthetic materials are used during either the cultivation or production of the duvet.

How a kapok duvet feels

We fill extra kapok filling in our Cocoon kapok duvets because we know from experience that the fibers settle a bit and become softer after some use. Therefore, your kapok duvet will feel a bit firmer when you first receive it and will achieve the perfect thickness and softness after some use.

With our kapok duvets, we aim to give you the sleep you dream of. We have created a duvet that provides you with the ultimate conditions for a good night's sleep in chemical-free surroundings.

Our Amazing Maize duvet is filled with our revolutionary corn fiber, which is both hypoallergenic and vegan. The duvet is made from 100% recyclable resources and is also 100% naturally biodegradable. Our fiber duvet is covered with our 100% organic certified cotton, which is so tightly woven that dust mites cannot penetrate it.

Our revolutionary product series Amazing Maize is our vegan alternative to down duvets and pillows. The pillows and duvets are filled with 100% corn fiber and have a cover of 100% organic certified cotton. The corn fiber has a long and hollow fiber structure, similar to a wool fiber, which gives the corn fiber its unique temperature-regulating properties. The corn fiber is also water-repellent and ensures that excess heat and moisture are led through the duvet instead of being absorbed. The duvet will therefore remain dry and comfortable throughout the night.

Our corn fiber is the first man-made fiber made from a 100% recyclable resource. The corn fiber is made from lactic acid, extracted from the plant sugar in the corn plant's starch during its fermentation process. Therefore, the corn fiber contains only naturally biodegradable and recyclable raw materials, which can either be recycled or broken down into organic material. The corn fiber is our green response to today's synthetic and oil-based plastic fibers, which cannot be naturally degraded and are not recycled enough, thus burdening the planet. The production of corn fiber requires nearly 70% less fossil fuel than the production of ordinary synthetic fibers, and is therefore considered the first greenhouse-neutral fiber ever created.

Summer is a wonderful season, but for both young and old, the warm summer nights can lead to restless sleep. Do you find your all-season duvet too warm? Then it will definitely be beneficial for you to replace your all-season duvet with a cool summer duvet.

Temperature-regulating

Merino wool is naturally breathable and is actually one of the most breathable materials available. Merino wool is an active fiber that reacts to changes in body temperature. In warm environments, wool feels up to two times cooler against the skin than synthetic materials.

Moisture-wicking

When the body gets warm, merino wool wicks away the heat by absorbing moisture from the body and allowing it to evaporate through its fibers. Merino wool can absorb up to 35% moisture of its own weight without feeling wet or losing its temperature-regulating properties. This is particularly beneficial during warm summer nights when the body releases moisture to maintain its core temperature.

100% Organic

We use neither chemicals nor synthetically manufactured materials to produce your summer duvet with merino wool. The summer duvet has a shell of 100% organically certified cotton. We use long wool fibers, which are carded to create a light and airy summer duvet. We use only 100% natural and untreated merino wool, which is beneficial for the environment and for you, providing the best and most natural summer duvet.

Antibacterial

We use 100% natural and untreated merino wool in our summer duvet. This means we have not washed out the natural lanolin content from the wool. The natural lanolin content helps create an antibacterial environment in the merino wool, where dust mites, bacteria, and fungi cannot thrive.

Summer duvet with down or merino wool?

Several studies show that both children and adults sleep better with merino wool - amazing, right?! Research indicates that newborns sleep more peacefully in merino wool and are less likely to wake and cry during the night. But adults also benefit greatly from sleeping with merino wool. Merino wool has significantly better temperature-regulating properties than other materials like down, which is often used for summer duvets. When choosing a good summer duvet, it is important to select a duvet that is more regulating rather than insulating.

As previously mentioned, merino wool is one of the most breathable fibers available and is fantastic at adapting to your child's body temperature. When you choose a summer duvet with merino wool instead of a traditional summer duvet with feathers or down, you will find that the summer duvet with merino wool is much better at adapting to your child's core temperature than a down duvet. This is because a down duvet is more insulating rather than regulating. When you get warm under the duvet, you will find that your down duvet becomes damp. A feather or down duvet quickly becomes damp when you sweat, as feathers and down absorb moisture. You will not experience this with a summer duvet with merino wool. Merino wool can absorb 35% moisture of its own weight without feeling damp.

If you ask us, merino wool is an underrated and overlooked filling in duvets - especially summer duvets. Still in doubt? Do not hesitate to contact customer service for further guidance.

Why choose a wool duvet?

Most people can relate to the experience of a feather or down duvet becoming very warm during the night. You get so warm that you need to lift the duvet a bit during the night to cool down. This is because feathers and down are both excellent insulators. The good insulation provides a really nice feeling during the cold months when we want to retain as much warmth as possible. It's really nice until you've warmed the duvet and mattress to body temperature. After that, the body needs to get rid of the excess heat and moisture. This is where feathers and down often fall short.

Many have the perception that wool is also just a warm fiber, only suitable for winter. The truth is, however, that wool possesses unparalleled properties for regulating temperature and moisture, making it suitable for both cold and warm weather. Wool uses your body temperature to generate warmth, and when it gets too warm, the wool absorbs the moisture around the body and cools it down. The secret behind the wool fiber's incredible breathability is the lanolin-rich surface, which allows the fiber to absorb large amounts of moisture. Merino wool can absorb 35% of its own weight in water and moisture without feeling wet and continues to keep your body dry and warm. It is also the lanolin content in merino wool that ensures your duvet does not smell of sweat and creates an antibacterial environment that dust mites cannot live in. However, it is only in untreated wool that the lanolin is still retained, and therefore there will be a big difference between a duvet with untreated wool and a regular wool duvet.

Merino wool is distinguished by having slightly twisted fibers, making the wool perfect for carding into a fluffy soft 'cloud' of wool fibers. This makes the sleep products wonderfully soft and pliable, undoubtedly benefiting any sleep. To ensure as breathable and temperature-regulating a sleep product as possible, we only use merino wool fibers that are over 8 cm. The longer fibers will create a more airy and lighter fill. This makes the duvet feel light, breathable, and incredibly body-neutral in its temperature.

From the Spanish mountains to your home

The Merino sheep is the world's most numerous sheep breed and originally comes from Spain, but is now widespread throughout the world. For our Cocoon merino wool products, only wool from Merino sheep that roam the mountains daily is used. These sheep produce longer wool due to the colder air in the mountains. When selecting our merino wool, it is crucial that the production of the merino wool is done in the animals' best interest. We therefore have a strict policy of only using wool from sheep that are free-range, sheared in a fair and proper manner, and not subjected to mulesing. Therefore, we exclusively use Spanish merino wool, where mulesing is not practiced.

A silk duvet is ideal for those who want a hypoallergenic duvet with fantastic breathability and excellent temperature-regulating properties. The hollow structure of the silk fiber is what gives silk its unique absorption ability, allowing moisture to be easily transported through the fiber. This gives the duvet fantastic breathability and ensures a dry and comfortable sleeping environment throughout the night. As dust mites and mold do not thrive in these environments, silk duvets are often recommended for allergy sufferers and asthmatics.

Silk duvets are thinner duvets, as the silk fibers are incredibly thin and lie very close together in the carding. Many mistakenly believe that a silk duvet can only be used as a summer duvet. However, a silk duvet can be used all year round due to the fiber's hollow structure. The hollow structure allows the silk fiber to respond quickly to changing temperatures in the sleeping environment, creating a thermoregulating effect around the body. This means that regardless of whether you tend to feel cold or too warm, a silk duvet will always adapt to your body's needs.

The sad truth is that most of us either do not wish to understand or are indifferent to how conventional silk is produced. The result is that hundreds of millions, perhaps even billions, of silkworms are killed each year before they can become silk moths. All because we, as consumers, demand products made with silk without considering the consequences.
