Loose kapok natural fiber for any home projects you can think of. The kapok fiber is 100% organic and is not treated with pesticides or chemicals during its production. The fiber is silky soft and light, but also incredibly short, so it can only be used for stuffing. As a filling, the fiber is incredibly airy and light and is fantastic for regulating heat and moisture around it.
Loose kapok is an organic fiber that comes from the seed pods of the kapok tree, which grows wild in tropical rainforests. The high air content in the kapok fiber makes your kapok product incredibly good at regulating heat, as the airy fiber structure creates a thermoregulating effect. The excess heat from the body will therefore be conducted through the kapok fiber. The temperature-regulating effect is further enhanced by the kapok fiber's ability not to absorb water. Instead, the kapok fiber transports moisture away from the body through its fibers. You will therefore find that kapok products remain dry.
The water-repellent effect of the kapok fiber is one of two reasons why kapok is 100% hypoallergenic. Since the kapok fiber does not absorb moisture, dust mites cannot live in the fiber. Dust mites need a humid environment to survive. Therefore, kapok is an excellent pillow for dust mite allergy sufferers. Since dust mites can cause allergies in children, kapok products can be good for young children. The kapok fiber also contains a bitter substance that makes the duvet resistant to other mites.
