The nice thing about kapok is that you can refluff it every once in a while to keep its original floatation. |
The material kapok, the soft fibrous covering of the seeds of a tropical tree, is familiar as a lining and stuffing material. |
When the pillow is kneaded a little, the thumb and forefinger will come right together if it's kapok. |
The kapok is a large, deciduous, tropical tree that has attractive leaves and clusters of yellow, white or pink flowers. |

While still on the tree, the fruits burst open exposing the cotton like substance, which is the kapok of commerce. |
