Kapok mattress pad for Leander Classic cot bed

Kapok is a unique natural fibre with exceptional properties that deserve proper care.
Read our instructions and prolong the life of your kapok product!

To preserve the fibre structure and its properties as best as possible, we recommend only washing your kapok product if absolutely necessary. Your Cocoon kapok products have not been dyed or treated with chemicals, so there is no need to wash your new kapok product before use.

Kapok also contains a natural bitter substance, which makes the fibre, and therefore the products, naturally resistant to house dust mites and many bacteria. For this reason, it is rarely necessary to wash your kapok product unless a major accident has occurred in bed. For minor stains, we recommend spot cleaning only.

We recommend airing your kapok product from time to time to maintain a healthy and fresh sleeping environment.

WASHING:

If it becomes necessary to wash your Cocoon kapok product, it is important to follow these instructions carefully:

• Wash the product alone at 40°C on a short cycle to protect the fibre. It is possible to wash at 60°C if strictly needed. Choose a short cycle, as prolonged exposure to water can damage the kapok fibres. Do not soak the product.
   
• Do NOT use a washer-dryer combination machine, as they often do not spin the water out properly before the drying cycle begins.
   
• Always select an extra spin cycle of at least 1400 RPM to remove as much water as possible.
   
• Use a gentle detergent without enzymes or bleach, such as the Cocoon soap bar.
   
• Do not use fabric softener.
   
• Once washed, dry the product immediately, as delays may damage the fibre or cause clumping.

How to dry your Cocoon kapok product:

• Always dry the kapok product alone in the tumble dryer.
   
• Kapok takes time to dry. We recommend using wool dryer balls, which help reduce drying time and gently separate the fibres to prevent clumping. Do not use tennis balls, as they can break the fine fibres.
   
• Dry with warm air, and repeat the drying cycle if the kapok still feels moist. Continue drying until the product is completely dry inside. This is crucial to avoid damaging the kapok fibres and will help prolong the lifespan of your product.

As a natural fibre, kapok will naturally soften and lose volume over time as it is used. This is completely normal. The lifespan of your kapok product depends on external factors such as use, care, and wear.
