At last a pillow that is soft yet supportive. Kapok is a wonderful lightweight alternative to toxic synthetics. Naturally organic Kapok is also malleable and able to be shaped to your body. Your pillow will return to its shape simply by being puffed up. Kapok is the most environmentally friendly, economical, fair trade natural fiber fill for pillows.   Kapok fiber is does not absorb perspiration, nor does it mould and has its own anti-bacterial properties given by nature which gives Kapok its hypo-allergenic status. Kapok is firmer than sponge yet soft because of its hollow fibers and can be shaped to the contours of your head.   Slight compaction will occur over time but Kapok will ‘Fluff up’ by being placed in direct sunlight. Fortnightly is preferable but not critical. Heavenly Head Pillows may also be washed in a front loading washing machine using wool wash or organic liquid soap then dried by placing in dryer with a couple of tennis balls. Care instructions on label.   Your pillow is filled with 800g of freshly cleaned kapok sewn into a calico inner. 70cm long x 45cm wide x 15cm deep. Medium density.  Pair of (two) Heavenly Head Pillows = $60.00USD Plus freight to destination please see table below.   1 x Heavenly Head Pillow $35.00USD each, Plus freight to destination please see table below.   Pillows of Kapok have been handed down between generations in Asian countries where it has been used as fill for mattress, bolsters and pillows for centuries. With correct care yours will last many decades (I am unsure how many decades your Heavenly Head Pillow will last if placed in a dryer instead of in direct sunshine but suffice to say that it will be years as opposed to months with today’s dacron).    You can adjust the amount of fill in your pillow by unpicking the hand stitched opening and removing the fiber and re-stitching the seam. Keep your Kapok aside in a cliplock bag or jar in case you want to add it again in the future. Or you can use it to stuff an environmentally friendly doll or line a beanie, gloves or neck warmer for thermal protection.   These pillows are the result of a collaborative project with the villagers who gather the kapok and the towns people from SoE in the highlands of WEST TIMOR.
