Guide to cushion fillings

Organic Buckwheat Hulls - an agricultural product that moulds to your shape as you rest on it to give gentle and comfortable support. This quality is maintained over time as the filling does not compress with use.

Organic Kapok - a natural fibre grown in the Far East where kapok is the traditional filling for zafus. The fibres are naturally soft and light, something like raw cotton. Kapok is softer and less 'springy' than Quallofil but moulds itself less to the form than buckwheat hulls.

Quallofil - a high grade soft-to-touch polyester fibre specially designed for use in high quality furnishings and cushions to give a slightly 'springy' support. Quallofil readily bounces back into shape and cushions filled with Quallofil do not need plumping up after use or require extra filling to be added after use over time.
