Fluffy kapok comes from the kapok tree, also known as Ceiba pentandra. The tree produces seed pods that contain a soft, fluffy fiber. This fiber is harvested and used commercially for various purposes such as filling pillows, mattresses, and life jackets because of its buoyancy and insulation properties.
