Reason why i purchased it, was to experiment making a home made sleeping blanket/quilt with the Kapok fiber and a double Silk Liner (the "shell"), for camping and hiking. Kapok is fairly lightweight and insulating, and quite cheap compared to many other insulating materials. No, it does not compare to Goose down in certain areas, but it's pretty warm, very hydrophobic (doesn't absorb or retain any moisture), and MUCH cheaper than goose down.

The kapok was very securely packaged, which when I made a particular opening in the wrap, made it very easy to fill the body pillow I was constructing. After sleeping on my new pillow for a week, I can say that I've gotten better sleep and the kapok is great at maintaining a lovely fluffy loft. Thanks for making good sleep and comfort so affordable!1/22/13
Product update nine months in- love the pillows I made with this fillthey hold their fluffiness and don't mat like other fills I have used. Highly recommend for it's natural, non-allergenic properties.My friend gave me her excess kapok. She was retiring her upholstery business. When I needed more, I found it on Amazon, first site that came up on my search. It was not as clean as the first kapok I had, with bits of seed pod, string and was shorter in staple length. Sorry Charlie!
