Ten Thousand Villages Yoga Pillow

Kapok is a natural, silky fiber harvested from the seed pods of the kapok tree. It is prized for being lightweight, buoyant, and hypoallergenic, offering a firm yet comfortable support that holds its shape better than cotton or down.

The cover is not removable. Because this pillow is handcrafted from a delicate silk and rayon blend, we recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild detergent if needed, rather than machine washing.

This pillow is designed with a generous, versatile footprint suitable for seated meditation and restorative poses. While it functions similarly to a standard bolster, its artisanal shape may offer a slightly softer, more organic feel than the rigid, foam-filled bolsters found in most studios.

Each pillow is handcrafted by artisans in Vietnam, meaning no two pieces are identical. These slight variations are not defects but rather hallmarks of the traditional production process, ensuring your pillow is a unique, one-of-a-kind item.

Yes, its supportive kapok fill makes it an excellent prop for propping up your head or knees while reading or lounging. However, it is primarily engineered as a firm support tool for yoga and meditation postures rather than a soft sleeping pillow.
