Product Information

Hollowfibre duvets are very light, compared to feather and down duvets. Sometimes, natural filling duvets can feel very heavy, which certainly appeals to some, but not everyone. 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. The most popular type of duvet fill is made of synthetic fibres. There are so many on the market and they can be found for sale at all major retailers. Whatever your preference, we have all slept under a synthetic duvet at some point. Synthetic duvets are often categorised as those with polyester hollowfibre or microfibre fillings.

There are many benefits to using hollowfibre. Here are the top reasons for it being so popular for bedding: 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 Hollowfibre is a synthetic polyester material used for the filling in duvets and pillows (amongst other things). With a dense structure, hollowfibre has a full, springy feeling that creates lightweight puffy duvets and pillows. Microfibre and hollowfibre duvets are both popular duvet choices which are budget-friendly and great for allergy sufferers.

Hollowfibre duvets use a synthetic fill (fibre), making them suitable for sensitive sleepers and allergy-prone who prefer to avoid feather or down duvets. As hollowfibre duvets can be washed at 60 degrees - the ideal temperature for killing dust mites and bacteria - it's great at offering lasting protection. Hollowfibre Vs Microfibre Duvets: Which Is Better?

Silk, the finest natural thread we know, sets the benchmark for measuring fibers: it is 1 dtex (decitex), meaning that one gram of fiber is 10,000 meters long. 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. 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. Affordability – Although it is not typically as inexpensive as hollow fiber, it is still fantastic value for money. Microfibres are usually made of polyester, polyamide, or acrylic – with titers in the range of 0.5 to 1.2 dtex.A feather/down will need a thorough wash before used, as the feathers can be quite dirty and greasy, until washed properly. Hollowfibre filling duvets can be used straight out of the box (bag/wrapper/etc.). Washing is an all-round pain, compared to synthetic filled duvets. Microfiber Filing Duvets Maintenance – This is also a low-maintenance product. All of our microfiber products are machine washable and easy to dry. Feather and down filled duvets tends to be more commonly found in the ‘higher-end’ establishments, like five-star hotels. Whether this is any indication of being ‘better’ is a debatable point, but if you’re running a guest house or B&B, your guests might have an experience they consider more ‘luxurious’. This however, means that natural filling duvets tend to be considerably more expensive than hollowfibre. Microfibre duvets are better than hollowfibre duvets – they are less sweaty and they drape better over the bed. You will tend to pay a bit more for them though – but often it’s negligible – these are still some of the cheapest duvets in stores.

If you would like a slightly more luxurious product that feels like feather and down, we would recommend microfibre. Hollowfibre pillows are usually constructed with a cotton cover and a synthetic fibre filling. The long hollow strands within the filling make the pillow lightweight and breathable yet reasonably firm to the touch.
