Organic Kapok Mattress: A Return to Natural Sleep
Amouve's Organic Kapok Mattress is a groundbreaking return to nature—India's first fully organic, foam-free mattress made from virgin Kapok (Ilavam Panju).
Sourced from the resilient Bombax ceiba tree, Kapok—also known as silk cotton—is nature’s own answer to restful, toxin-free sleep.
What is Kapok?
Kapok is a naturally buoyant fibre, 8 times lighter than regular cotton, with a silky, airy feel. Its extra-long staple structure makes it breathable and fluffy, offering gentle support without the artificial density of foam. Unlike synthetic materials, Kapok does not trap heat, making it ideal for varied climates.

How to Measure for Your Kapok Mattress
To ensure a perfect fit, measure the inner cavity of your bed frame—not the external dimensions.
Steps:
-
Remove any existing mattress.
-
Use a measuring tape to measure the length and width from the inside edges of the bed frame where the mattress will sit.
-
Measure in centimeters or inches (please specify your preference in the order notes).
-
Consider that Kapok compresses and expands horizontally slightly over time, so we will be making the mattress an inch smaller (from height and width) than the given dimensions.
Choosing Mattress Height Based on Weight
