Kapok is a naturally soft, airy fiber that may settle with regular use. A quick daily fluff helps restore its loft and keeps your pillow feeling full, comfortable, and supportive.
Each morning, gently shake and knead the pillow, working from the outer edges toward the center to redistribute the fill. Then lightly pat, squeeze, and release the pillow to encourage the fibers to expand and settle evenly. This simple routine helps maintain the plush, supportive feel of your Amarae pillow—night after night.
How can a body support pillow improve my sleep?
Body support pillows improve your sleep by helping keep your spine properly aligned and reducing pressure on key areas like your neck, back, hips, and shoulders. This added support can ease discomfort, limit tossing and turning, and promote deeper, more restful sleep.

Our pillows are designed to work with your body and provide support where you need it. Some examples of how to use the pillow are:
Stone Shape:
- Between legs
- Behind the back
- Held close for comfort

What are the pillows made from?
Our pillows feature a plush Kapok filling encased in a 100% organic cotton shell. The pillowcases are made from a 50/50 cotton–linen blend, combining premium natural fibers that are highly breathable and moisture-wicking, making them ideal for maintaining a comfortable temperature
throughout the night.
What is Kapok?
Kapok is a silky, plant based fiber harvested from the seed pods of the Kapok tree. It offers a cruelty-free alternative to down, with a luxurious, “cloud like” softness that gently cradles your head and body. Thanks to its naturally breathable structure, Kapok promotes airflow and helps prevent heat buildup, making it ideal for temperature-regulating bedding. It is also naturally hypoallergenic for most sleepers and retains its loft without heavy clumping, so your pillow stays plush and supportive night after night.
What makes Amarae pillows different from other body support pillows?
Our body support pillows are designed to feel as good for your body as they do for your peace of mind. They’re carefully shaped to follow the natural curves of your body, providing targeted support and comfort where you need it most, rather than forcing you into a one-size-fits-all position.
We also prioritize nontoxic, high-quality materials, so you can feel confident about what you’re sleeping on night after night. Over time, your Amarae pillow will gently mold to your unique way of resting—much like a favorite, perfectly worn in Tshirt—developing a familiar, comforting
feel that you’ll look forward to every time you climb into bed.
What is your return policy?
We want you to love your Amarae pillow. If you change your mind, we’re happy to accept returns of unopened, unused items within 45 days of purchase. Please note that original shipping costs are non-refundable. Return shipping is covered by the customer, and we’ll process your refund promptly once we receive and inspect your item.
