OUR STORY

We are Martin and Matthias, the founding brothers from thaipillow.co.uk. We love Asia so much.
During our studies we fell in love with the friendly and smiley warmth of the Thai People.

We discovered kapok when we were travelling through the subtropical rain forest in Thailand. After the first night in the jungle camp, we were very relaxed and rested. Of course, we slept on the colourful Thai kapok mats.

What is kapok?

Kapok is plant-based down of the kapok tree. There is a large number of kapok trees in Thailand. The large kapok pods are filled with very fluffy and soft plant fibres and can be harvested from huge kapok trees in the jungle!

Discover more about kapok!

The amazement was huge! Why didn’t we know about these fantastic mats in Europe? So we decided, still travelling through the forest, on our mission: We just have to make this natural wonder well known in the western world!

Several years have passed since and we can be proud, to offer such a natural product in many western countries. The finest kapok from the rain forest with colourful covers made from organic cotton – That is why our customers are so happy.
