Fabrics

Cotton Twill: Outer covers of most of our products are made of heavyweight, 100% cotton, 10 oz. twill that is commonly used for pants and coveralls - very sturdy and durable!

Cotton muslin: Inner casings of our deluxe" products are made of 100% unbleached cotton muslin.

Rayon: Used instead of silk for those who prefer cruelty-free products. Made out of processed wood pulp, but looks and feels just like silk!

Fillings

Kapok: A natural biodegradable plant fiber, which is more resilient than cotton and will not mat or lump, like cotton. Kapok is lighter and easier to carry, and gives firm, buoyant support.

Buckwheat hull: A natural biodegradable grain hull, a by product of buckwheat groats and flour production. It conforms to the shape of your body for a grounded feeling, and the little air pockets between the hulls permit airflow to keep you cool.

Cotton batting: Carded sheets of 100% cotton used in our zabutons, bolster and shiatsu mats.

Felt: The 1" thick heavy duty industrial felt used in our Superfelt Zabuton was developed as a shock absorber and cushioning for heavy machinery vibration - it will definitely provide cushioning for your bones! Very durable and very resilient - will not pack down or separate. Many times more effective than an equal thickness of cotton batting. The 1/2" thick felt used in our UltiMat is light and very easy to carry, and provides firm support for stable footing (unlike foam pads!), and is equally resilient, durable and effective.

Flax seed: A conformable filling used in our eye pillows for a smooth, luxurious feeling.

Lavender buds: Dried lavender buds are used to naturally and gently scent our eyepillows.
