Pillow moss – Pincushion moss

Pillow moss (a.k.a. pincushion moss, Ball moss or ‘Leucobryum glaucum’) is a leafy moss and is common in Europe. Pillow moss, as its name suggests, consists of elegant and soft round cushions of between 3 and 10 centimetres thick.

Because of its thickness and structure, pillow moss is the most difficult to prepare and therefore the most expensive. We prepare and colour our pillow moss using innovative techniques so as to make it permanently soft, fire-retardant, dirt-repellent and colourfast. The available colours are ‘SpringGreen’, ‘MossGreen’ and ‘Forest Green’. Our standard pillow moss size is approx. 5 to 25 cm.

Properties of MossFactory pillow moss

  • Suitable for making moss walls/paintings and other decorative items.
  • Optimum quality, treated through and through, and therefore very durable and fire retardant.
  • Moss has a natural scent. This scent is intensified after preparing the moss. The scent of prepared moss gradually decreases and is completely harmless.
  • We use colour pigments as part of our preparation process to ensure that our moss retains its colour for a long time. However, bright sunlight or other bright light can cause discolouration.
  • Since moss is a natural product, colour nuances occur.
  • To be fixed with glue.
  • Do not spray the moss with water or any other liquids.
  • Not suitable for outdoor use.
  • Colourants in the moss rub off when touched. Clean with soap and water.
  • Low relative humidity (below 40%) will cause the moss to temporarily become a little drier. Once the humidity increases, it will become soft again.
