Kapok

Kapok is a natural fiber that grows wild on a so-called kapok tree in the rainforest. We therefore neither have to cut down trees to get hold of the fibers nor do resource-intensive production, as you know from, for example, a cotton plantation.

This makes kapok a sustainable material.

A kapok tree is one of the tallest trees in the rainforest. Kapok trees bear about 3,000 seed pods a year and grow in parts of South America, East Africa and Asia. Here, they are a significant source of income for the locals, who use the seeds to make oil and fodder, among other things.

Kapok fibers are CO2 neutral, as the trees convert more CO2 than we consume when transporting the fibers from the forests to the consumer. When you buy kapok products, you are therefore helping to preserve the tropical rainforests, which are also called the 'lungs of the world' and which convert CO2 into oxygen.

The kapok fibers are collected by hand, and both processing and production are done manually. The process is therefore not harmful to the environment, and no CO2 is released. When you choose a product with kapok filling, you are therefore helping to take care of our planet, the local farmers and yourself.

It's morning and you look in to see the little one who has kicked off the covers during the night because of the heat. Want to avoid this? In such a situation, a kapok duvet will be the right choice, as the kapok transports sweat away from the body during the night and creates the best possible sleeping environment, which ensures a calm and undisturbed night's sleep.

The same applies to you. You have probably experienced waking up drenched in sweat several times. You can avoid this if you use our products with kapok. Kapokken's properties work better than you think, and our customers experience a clear difference.

It is important to us that you and your family get the best possible sleep with our products, which are both ventilated, insulating, hypoallergenic and organic. The kapok can help with all of this - and we know it works. Kapok is the main element in all our products, and we guarantee you satisfaction and the best health in relation to the vital element of all of us, namely sleep.

Therefore, we have designed and developed, among other things, quilts, pillows and mattresses for both children and adults, where the core consists of the natural fiber kapok, which especially relieves sweat and cold at night for both you and your child.

Let's get one thing straight: Kapok is a 100% organic and sustainable natural fiber that creates ultimate well-being for you and your family. The kapok has some completely unique properties, which are utilized optimally in every single Nsleep product with kapok.

With kapok, you get a silky-soft product that is ventilated and sweat-transporting. Your kapok product will ensure you an optimal and undisturbed night's sleep with a healthy, dry and calm sleeping environment - which can have an impact on both your sleep and your time awake. The kapok fiber is especially good for babies who have difficulty controlling their temperature at night.

It is the structure of kapok that makes the product insulating and temperature regulating. The kapok fiber reflects the body's heat in a natural and comfortable way. Since the sweat from the body is not absorbed in kapok, but instead is transported naturally through e.g. your duvet, you will never wake up with a cold and clammy duvet. When you choose one of our kapok products without artificial substances, you will experience a significantly better sleep without night sweats.

Be aware that the nightwear that you and your child sleep in must also be sweat-transporting. Otherwise, the clothes can block the fantastic properties of the kapok. Therefore, you achieve the best effect by simply sleeping in underwear.

Kapok has been used in the past, but has become a forgotten fiber when new types of filling materials were introduced. As the first Danish company, Nsleep has reinvented the use of kapok for your sleeping environment. Kapok goes back much further in history and has been used all over the world - also in Denmark.

Kapok has always been a well-known filling for, for example, life jackets. This is where Skagen comes into the picture. Nsleep is rooted in Skagen, where the same kapok was used by both rescuers and fishermen in their life jackets at the beginning of the 20th century. Here the kapok was ideal because it does not absorb water and therefore has a high load-bearing capacity.

The kapok is hollow and consists of 80% air, but is a closed fiber, which is what makes it perfect for lifejackets. This is also the reason why it is also perfect for the sleeping environment. The kapok does not absorb moisture, which means that bacteria and dust mites cannot live in the mattress or duvet, and it is therefore hypoallergenic. It is also these cavities that allow the sweat from the body to be transported away.

Do you often find that you or your child have irritation in the eyes, nose and throat? It can be a sign of house dust mite allergy. If this is the case, it is quite obvious to choose a product with kapok. It is hypoallergenic and produced without the use of pesticides or anything else.

Bacteria, house dust mites, pesticides and mold cannot live in the kapok because the fibers do not absorb moisture. Kapok is therefore resistant to both bacteria and pesticides from nature, which is ideal - both for allergy sufferers, but also for you who just don't want to have unpleasant surprises in your sleeping environment.

Up to one in ten has symptoms of house dust mite allergy. Kapok reduces the symptoms and creates a healthy and allergy-free sleeping environment, as the kapok fiber is moisture-transporting, which makes it impossible for house dust mites to live in the kapok. House dust mites need a moist environment to survive and reproduce. It is therefore proven that kapok products are hypoallergenic.

When you choose our kapok products, you are doing something good for yourself and your family, because you are bringing nature into the home and creating a sleeping environment that is both sustainable, chemical-free and allergy-friendly. It can have a positive effect on your well-being and overall quality of life.
