Product Information

Weight – hollowfibre is still a lightweight option, but when comparing the two it is slightly heavier in weight than microfibre. If you're a sensitive sleeper looking for a wonderfully luxurious duvet that offers superior warmth, loft (plumpness) and light-weight, then microfiber fill is a superb option and alternative choice to a feather or down duvet. It offers many of the great qualities of a down duvet, all at a more affordable price. Warmth Without the Weight Microfibre is made up of fine fibres which are tightly woven together, allowing no space between them.

HOLLOWFIBRE VS MICROFIBRE – WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? HOLLOWFIBRE VS MICROFIBRE – WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

While microfibre duvets may not be able to match the outright luxury of traditional down duvets, they are relatively affordable and come with many down-like qualities (such as lightweight warmth and loft) which will help you get a great night’s rest. If you're shopping on a budget, or perhaps a more sensitive sleeper, you should definitely consider a microfibre duvet, available from us at Cuddledown here ➞. Hollowfibre Duvets Soft – The ultra-fine fibres of microfibre and little hollow spaces in hollowfibre creates light, airy, fluffy and luxuriously soft fabrics. Compared to hollowfibre, which features dense strands with hollow spaces between the fibres, microfibre duvets are filled with more tightly woven fine fibres that give it an overall more silk-like softness and plump feel. Benefits of Microfibre Duvets Great Down-Alternative for Sensitive SleepersThe main benefits of down pillows include their softness and malleability, heat-retention, and heat-regulating properties. They adapt to the shape and temperature of your body to keep you comfortable and supported to the optimal degree. Down pillows are also suitable for use all year round, are more hygienic, and are more durable and longer lasting than other types of pillows. How Should I Maintain My Pillows? One of the number of benefits to having a hollowfibre duvet is that they're very adaptable, making them a great duvet for use all-year round. The spacing between the fibres makes the duvet breathable, which is great for warmer nights. Hollowfibre Duvets are also relatively light, making it an ideal choice for warmer nights, or if you prefer a duvet which doesn’t offer much weight. Suitable for Allergy Sufferers

The use of microfibres gives a much higher volume for the same weight. This explains the particular advantages of microfibres: Textiles made from them have very high thread density. The biggest difference between hollowfibre and microfibre is the structure. The fine fibres of microfibre allow minimal space between them, creating a tightly woven fabric. Whereas hollowfibre does have spaces between its fibres, which is how it received its name. This makes hollowfibre a lighter, more breathable fabric. Microfibre is warmer and better for Winter. Sportswear from microfibres functions particularly well. It is breathable and at the same time provides reliable protection against wind and rain.Natural filled bedding is a lot more durable than synthetic. It will accept considerably more ‘wear and tear’ and in some cases, can last up to three times longer than a synthetic filled duvet. A premium quality feather/down filled duvet could last as long as 30 years. This means they have a much higher number of air chambers and tiny pores, allowing the skin to breathe and the body to regulate temperature more easily. If you’re looking for a duvet that's easy to care for, hollowfibre duvets are a great option as they're machine washable and drier-safe, which is not always the case with alternative natural duvet fillings. Breathable for Warmer Nights

Many people find them a great alternative to duvets with natural fillings such as feather or down – they are cheaper, easier to care for and often have better hypo-allergenic properties. They don’t last as long though, can make you hot and sweaty, or a little bit chilly as they don’t have such good breathable or insulating properties. However they’re an easy, affordable lightweight duvet solution, particularly for families. These pillows are great if you’re on a budget or have bad allergies but are the worst long-term pillow investment and have the least satisfaction rating amongst all our reviewers. Some wash well but others will clump after washing and make you hot at night. You’re unlikely to fall in love with a synthetic pillow, but they’re very cost-effective if you just want to put your head on something other than a mattress. Keep reading to find a full comparison of the two materials, including similarities and differences, and our easy guide to which you should be investing in. Maintenance – This is also a low maintenance product. All of our microfibre products are machine washable and easy to dry.

What are the benefits of microfiber?

Hollowfibre pillows are springy and on the firmer side with space between the fibres for cool airflow. Microfibre pillows are softer with tightly woven fibres for a warmer feel. Are hollowfibre pillows good? As you had perhaps guessed, hollow fiber duvets get their name since they’re made from fibers that have space between their knotting. The ‘hollow’ space between the fibers helps to ensure that the duvet is breathable and also means it’s higher than many other comparable duvets filled with alternative synthetic fillings. Synthetic pillows are often referred to as hollowfibre pillows, microfibre pillows or polyester pillows– these are all man-made fillings and are the cheapest UK pillow types. If you’re looking for a warm duvet which can help to trap heat during cold nights, you may prefer to choose a microfibre duvet over a hollowfibre duvet. The more tightly knit fabric fill is better able to trap heat, keeping you warmer and more comfortable. While the synthetic fibres are tightly knit together for superior insulation, they are still lightweight, and so provide warmth without the weight. Highly Affordable Duvet
