Description
Over time, you many want to add a little extra firmness to your meditation cushion. By ordering some extra kapok fill for your zafu you can get your cushion back to the perfect firmness. Our zafus all have zipper closures that allow you to add extra kapok fill anytime. We find that 1 lb. is usually plenty to fluff up a zafu that has flattened over time. However, if you’d like more simply increase the number of items and we’ll ship you as much as you’d like.
Derived from the pods of the ceiba pentandra tree, kapok is a fluffy, cotton-like natural fiber that has historically been used in upholstery, furniture, and meditation cushions. Its soft, buoyant composition (weighing one-eighth the weight of cotton) makes it both comfortable and supportive to sit on. In addition to these qualities, kapok has also become popular more recently as a sustainable, eco-friendly textile.
Please note, you will receive kapok fill with no outer cover, intended to use with existing zafu. For buckwheat hulls for filling buckwheat cushions please go here.

The 1 lb. order was enough to build up my zabuton and elimate the flat spots. It might turn out even better if I undo the ties and retie. Another half pound from the zendo renewed my zafu and cushion, so it might be good to order a second pound for those items. Good job for outdoors and still a few sneezes!
Very happy to be able to order this extra kapok filling for my zafu. Well packaged and it was shipped quickly.
My hands broke out in rash! I’m allergic to it!
