Traditional upholstery materials
- Coconut fibre / Coconut
Coconut fibres originate from the outer protective shell of the coconut. India and Sri Lanka are areas where coconut palms are cultivated for fibre production. The fibres are soaked, beaten, fanned out and spun into braids and then dried. Our coconut fibre, either in its natural colour or black, is processed using our own original Toggenburger formula.
The properties of the coconut fibre:
Coconut fibre is a hard fibre. It is elastic, tear-proof and unbreakable, and it is long-lasting. It provides noise and sound insulation and is hygroscopic; i.e. it absorbs excess room humidity.
We recognise three types of fibre: Bristle (long and strong), Omat (somewhere between mattress and bristle in both length and strength) and Mattress (short tangled fibres).
- Crin d'Afrique / Vegetable fibre
Crin d'Afrique originates from the leaves of a particular type of knee-high dwarf palm native to northern Africa and Spain. The leaves are cut off and pulled through metal combs, which separate the solid fibres from the soft parts of the leaves. The wet fibres are sorted by thickness, spun into braids and dried in the sun.
The type used byToggenburger is spun extra thin. Palm fibres are characterised by their high level of elasticity. They are strongly hygroscopic and must therefore be protected from high air humidity. The fibres are green and smell slightly like hay.
Palm fibres are used as an upholstery material for furniture and mattresses, as well as for making ropes and basketware.

- Kapok
Kapok is the fibre from the banana-shaped fruit pods of the kapok tree. These trees grow to a height of approx. 25m, mainly in Africa and Indonesia. The fruit pods are knocked off, dried and opened by hand, shortly before they are fully ripe. The wool around the seeds is de-seeded, dried, bleached and sorted by quality. About 250 capsules are needed to produce 1 kg Kapok. Our kapok comes from Indonesien, packed in 500g sacks.
These silky kapok fibres have particular properties:
100% organic, heat insulating, temperature regulating, active breathing, water repellent, plus the anti-bacterial and antimicrobial effect of the bitter substances, i.e. moth-proof and mite-proof, 6 times lighter than cotton.
Kapok is extremely well suited for use as a filling material for cushions, coverlets, upholstery, sleeping bags and life jackets.
