I would not use kapok. Not only is it costly, but it does not stand up to washing. I used to use it in soft toys, but of course, once in the washing and it clumps up just like cotton wool. I use the same stuff that is used in duvets and pillows(I cannot remember what it is called). The best thing to use was foam pieces, but of course it is not fire resistant so it not suitable for toys etc.
It really depends on what you want kapok for? I have not used it in years, not only for the above reason, but also because I became allergic to it.
I would try local markets as they tend to be the cheapest.

Polyester stuffing is the easiest to get and to use - washes well - I usually buy it from markets as suggested above.
