Description
You already have a nursing pillow and want to vary the firmness or completely change the filling? With our kapok filling material, you can customize your pillow to your liking. The 5 kg kapok filling is our bulk package – the right amount if you want to fill multiple pillows, a mattress topper, or cushions with pure natural fiber.
Kapok Filling Material: What is Kapok?
Kapok is a plant fiber and a pure natural product that comes from the seed pods of wild-growing kapok trees and is free from pesticides and herbicides. After harvesting, the 25-30 cm long fruits of the kapok tree are opened, and the fine kapok wool is extracted and dried in the sun. Kapok is often used in pillows, mattresses, and cushions because it is hypoallergenic, resistant to mold and bacteria, and biodegradable.
What are the advantages of kapok compared to synthetic fibers?
The fine, cotton-like hairs are silky shiny and coated with a fine wax layer, making them water- and moisture-repellent. The fine wax layer ensures that moisture is directed outward, preventing dampness. Air is trapped in the fibers of kapok, making the fiber very fluffy, soft, and breathable. In summer, the breathable kapok directs moisture outward, and in winter, it retains warmth and keeps you warm.
To make the kapok nice and fluffy, it is aerated with air. No further processing steps or treatments are necessary. The plant down is a vegan alternative to animal-derived duck and goose down and a natural and sustainable alternative to Styrofoam and polyester. Unlike synthetic materials, kapok is also biodegradable.
Advantages of Kapok as Pillow Filling
- Heat and temperature regulating
- Water and moisture repellent
- Hypoallergenic and allergy-friendly
- Sustainable and naturally produced
- Self-cleaning
- Cozy soft
- Vegan
Allergy-Friendly and Hypoallergenic Kapok Fibers
The self-cleaning power of kapok as pillow filling, nursing pillow filling, or even for comforters is also noteworthy: The fibers contain a natural bitter substance that acts anti-allergically and is hypoallergenic. Kapok is a material where dust mites do not thrive, making it ideal for sensitive moms and babies.
How to Properly Clean and Care for Kapok
The natural kapok filling should not be washed in a washing machine or with water. Water and detergent would wash away the natural wax layer from the fibers, causing the kapok to clump and lose volume and fluffiness. The filling would become unusable. Additionally, the natural bitter substances that make kapok allergy-friendly would be lost. Airing it out in the sun is sufficient for cleaning.

What is kapok and why is it suitable for nursing pillows?
Kapok is a natural, plant-based fiber that is lightweight, breathable, hypoallergenic, and environmentally friendly. Ideal for mom and baby.
How firm is the nursing pillow?
We have filled the nursing pillow quite firmly. The nursing pillow thus offers a firmness similar to an H2 mattress, which provides stable support but is still soft and cozy. If it is too firm for you, you can easily remove some filling.
How do I properly care for my nursing pillow?
If you choose a Minky Mooh nursing pillow, you can wash the cotton covers at 30°C (knit cover) and at 60°C (percale cover). However, the kapok filling should not be washed. It is sufficient to air it out in the sun and shake it up again to make it fluffy again.
Where are the nursing pillows produced?
Our Minky Mooh nursing pillows are manufactured with the utmost care and under the highest quality standards in Germany. Each nursing pillow is filled by hand and processed with great attention to detail to ensure it provides the ideal support for mothers and babies. The filling consists of 100% natural kapok sourced from wild-growing trees. This environmentally friendly material is obtained without the use of chemicals and processed in a gentle manner.
Our covers are made from GOTS-certified organic cotton, produced in Turkey under fair and environmentally friendly conditions. By carefully selecting our materials and handcrafted production in Germany, we ensure that each nursing pillow is not only sustainable but also safe and comfortable for you and your baby. From material selection to final production, we place great importance on creating a product that meets the highest standards and provides you with optimal comfort during your pregnancy and nursing period.

I have had the nursing pillow for almost 5 years. In the end, because it was used a lot even long after breastfeeding, it became very thin and lost its shape. With the new filling, it is now like new again and ready for the next breastfeeding round :) I am very happy with this sustainable and great product! Thank you very much.
