Kapok Body Pillow

The MAREA Kapok Body Pillow is a full length, adjustable body pillow handcrafted in the USA and filled with pure kapok, a silky plant fiber harvested from the seed pods of the ceiba tree. At 20 x 54 inches, it gives side sleepers something to hold, a place to rest the top knee, and steady, buoyant support that helps keep your head, neck, shoulders, and hips in one comfortable, neutral line through the night.

Adjustable fill: you set the firmness, not the factory

Every body is different, so a fixed loft pillow is always a compromise. The MAREA Body Pillow opens through a hidden zipper on the insert, so you can add or remove kapok fill until the loft and firmness match your frame and the way you sleep. Broad shoulders and need more height between your head and the mattress? Leave it full. Prefer a softer, lower profile? Remove a few handfuls and store them for later. Because you can top the fill back up over time with MAREA kapok refills, an adjustable kapok pillow does not slowly flatten into retirement the way conventional pillows do.

Protect your investment: add the cover, save 15% automatically

Kapok fill should never be machine washed, so the washable layer matters. Add the MAREA Organic Sateen Cover for the Body Pillow to your cart with this pillow and 15% comes off the cover automatically at checkout, no code needed. The cover itself is different from anything else out there: most body pillow covers are open on one end or close with an envelope fold, leaving the pillow exposed and sliding around inside. The MAREA cover has a full perimeter zipper that seals the pillow completely inside. Nothing exposed, nothing shifting, nothing working its way out at 3 a.m. It zips off in seconds, machine washes cold, and zips right back on. Prefer one price? The Body Pillow + Cover set bundles both and saves 15% on the whole thing.

Materials

• Fill: 100 percent kapok fiber, organically grown and plant derived. Kapok feels like a blend of down and silk, breathes exceptionally well, and is naturally a vegan alternative to feather fill.
• Insert shell: organic cotton with zippered fill access.
• Made in the USA: cut, sewn, and filled by hand.
• No foam, no polyester batting, no chemical odors.

Why side sleepers choose a kapok body pillow

Sleeping on your side leaves a gap between the mattress and your top arm and knee. A body pillow fills that gap, which reduces the twist through your torso and helps your spine rest in a more neutral position. Kapok makes the difference here: it is lofty and supportive like down but springs back instead of packing down, and its hollow fibers move heat and moisture away so you stay cool.

Care

Never machine wash the kapok insert. Spot clean it and air it in the sun to refresh the fill. For everyday protection, use the MAREA Organic Sateen Cover, the machine washable layer that zips fully closed around the pillow.

Common questions

Does it come with a cover? The pillow ships as the insert with its organic cotton shell. The fully zippered Organic Sateen Cover is sold separately, saves 15% automatically when added to your cart with the pillow, or comes bundled in the Body Pillow + Cover set.

Is the whole pillow organic? The insert shell is organic cotton and the kapok fill is organically grown, wild harvested fiber. The matching sateen cover is GOTS certified organic cotton.

Can I adjust it after I buy it? Yes. Open the zipper on the insert any time to add or remove fill. Loose kapok refills are available from MAREA.

Can I wash it? The kapok fill should never be machine washed. That is exactly why we make the removable sateen cover: it zips fully closed to protect the pillow, then zips off for the wash.

Who is it for? Side sleepers, pregnant sleepers looking for support, and anyone who wants a cooler, plant based alternative to memory foam or down.
