Answer:
Coir: Coir is the fibre obtained from the outer covering or the husk of the coconut. Usually coconuts are left in water for a few months. The husk is then separated from the nut and beaten with wooden mallets to get the fiber. Then it is spun and dyed and ready for weaving. It is used as a stuffing in mattresses and pillows.
Silk Cotton: Silk cotton is obtained from the silk cotton tree also called kapok. The fruits of the kapok tree contain fibres that are light and fluffy. When the fruit ripens, it bursts open releasing the fibres. It is used as a stuffing in pillows, sleeping bags and life jackets.
