Layla Kapok Pillow review

The Layla Kapok Pillow mixes kapok fiber, a plant fiber from the seed pods of the kapok tree, with shredded open cell memory foam, and Layla overfills it so you unzip the cover and remove fill to set the loft. Layla says you can curve it for side sleeping or flatten it for stomach sleeping, which puts it in the same adjustable group as Coop and Avocado. The cover uses a textured hexagon fabric with a lean seam, meaning no piping or gusset. Sizes are Queen at 18 by 28 inches and King at 18 by 34 inches, and Layla states the foams are CertiPUR-US certified. Layla offers free shipping, free returns and a 30-night trial. When we loaded the page it defaulted to a King 2-pack on a buy-one-get-one offer and did not show a single-pillow price, so we list the price as pending. Score it against Avocado if you want natural fill, since Layla's blend still includes foam. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run sleep tests.
