The Difference Between Microfiber and Hollow Fiber

The biggest difference between hollow fiber and microfiber is the structure. The fine fibers of microfiber allow minimal space between them, creating a tightly woven fabric. Whereas hollow fiber does have spaces between its fibers, which is how it received its name. This makes hollow fiber a lighter, more breathable fabric. Microfiber is warmer and better for Winter.

What is hollow fiber?

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.

What is Microfiber?

Microfibres are finer than any fiber in nature.

First used in functional sportswear, it was not long before they became fashionable as well.

Microfibres are well suited for blending with other man-made and natural fibers.
