A next-generation filling blend of Down & Kapok—engineered for comfort, performance, and sustainability.

Developed for bedding producers, hospitality, and outdoor apparel manufacturers (down duvets, pillows, jackets, and more), our Down & Kapok blend combines the unmatched insulation of natural down with the lightweight, moisture-resistant, and plant-based power of kapok—delivering a certified, cost-effective solution for high-performance natural products.

What is Kapok?

Kapok is a natural, sustainable fluffy fiber harvested from the seed pods of the kapok tree (Ceiba pentandra). Known for its ultra-lightweight, silky texture, and hollow structure, kapok is an ideal filling material for pillows, duvets, and jackets. It is naturally hypoallergenic, resistant to moisture, and highly breathable, providing a soft and comfortable filling.

Unlike synthetic fillers, kapok is biodegradable and free from harmful chemicals, offering a breathable and voluminous alternative that aligns with a natural lifestyle.

The Power of the Blend​

By combining premium down with silky, air-trapping kapok, we’ve created a versatile filling that offers the best of both materials—enhancing performance, expanding applications, and optimizing cost-efficiency.
This blend retains the volume and warmth of down while improving airflow, moisture control, and temperature balance for all-season comfort.

Kapok is naturally clean and pest-resistant, requiring minimal processing. This eliminates the need for chemicals and makes it easier to meet safety and sustainability standards, while lowering production costs and increasing product quality.

Fill Power & Thermal Performance

Down & Feathers vs a Down & Kapok Blend:

Fill Power

The ultra-light kapok fibers interweave with the down clusters, forming a cohesive, sticky-like Down & Kapok fill that retains nearly the same loft as pure down—maintaining at least 96% of its original fill power.

The actual fill power of the Down & Kapok blend will depend on the fill power of the down and the percentage of kapok fibres used in the blend.

Thermal Performance

The hollow structure of the kapok fibres and their ultra-light weight give it an excellent capacity to trap air, giving it a similar thermal coefficient to pure down when blend together.

Price Competitive Filling

Our Down & Kapok blends help reduce your material costs, without sacrificing product quality or performance.

Kapok is a plant-based, cost-efficient fiber that replaces part of the down, lowering your fill cost by up to 35% compared to 90% duck down. The result is a high-performance, 100% natural, biodegradable filling that meets today’s sustainability demands while protecting your margins.

Down & Kapok,
100% Natural,
100% Sustainable​

Kapok is a vegan, regenerative fiber harvested from wild-growing trees without pesticides or irrigation, making it naturally sustainable. Down is a reclaimed byproduct, repurposed to reduce waste and extend the life of natural materials. Together, both materials create a 100% natural filling which is biodegradable, recyclable, and sustainable.
