Why choose a Cocoon Company Kapok mattress pad?

When you choose a Cocoon Company kapok mattress pad, you are investing in a handcrafted quality product. Like our kapok mattresses, our mattress pads are handcrafted with the finest natural and organic materials. The kapok filling is encased in an organic certified cotton cover, ensuring a breathable and chemical-free night's sleep. Unlike many other mattress pads on the market, we never use synthetic materials or harmful chemicals, ensuring a completely natural and hypoallergenic night's sleep.

Kapok mattress pads are perfect for those who want to improve the breathability of their existing mattress. For those who often experience overheating or night sweats, our kapok mattress pads are an excellent solution to maintain a cool and comfortable sleeping environment, for both children and adults.

What makes our kapok so special?

Cocoon Organic kapok series was developed because our youngest son, Phillip, was too hot using traditional sleep products like 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. Through the development of these kapok products, we found the solution for our son. But also the desire to create the best and most natural sleep products for others, so 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 sleep 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 our Kapok mattress pads

• 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 care for your Kapok mattress pad

When you purchase a new kapok mattress pad, you are surely excited to start using it. To best care for your new natural product, it is important to follow our general washing and maintenance guide. This way, they will retain their good, natural properties for as long as possible and ensure 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-laden materials before use, but our natural products should only go 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 excess chemicals or other unpleasant substances you need to wash out of the product before using it. When you wash a product, whether it's a piece of clothing, a duvet, or something else entirely, it will always change a bit. Both the fabrics settle a bit after a wash, 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 shaking your mattress pad outdoors once a month and letting 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 run an extra spin cycle. Then your product should have ample time in the dryer, preferably using our wool dryer balls.
