[Moisture absorption heat generation effect]
The hollow fibers are the secret to its lightness. When it's cold, it absorbs moisture and generates heat. When it's hot, it releases moisture to keep you cool and comfortable.
The brand name is "Kapok."
We use a special processing technique to turn kapok into sheets and use them as filling.

It's warm anyway! Kapok, down that grows into trees

Because kapok is derived from plants , it " breathes " unlike the synthetic polyester fiber.

It has a hygroscopic and heat generating function that absorbs moisture and becomes warm , making it both light and warm.

Because of these characteristics, kapok is also called ``tree down'' and ``white silk cotton.''
Ethical Down Kapok™ is made by mixing this kapok with recycled polyester and processing it into a sheet.
