With a dense structure, hollowfibre has a full, springy feeling that creates lightweight puffy duvets and pillows. 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

So, which fills wins this battle? It comes down to budget and personal preference for what you're looking for in a duvet. Both hollowfibre and microfibre duvets are great options for sensitive sleepers and allergy-sufferers and each offer unique properties which set them apart. Duvet Qualities - Hollowfibre Vs Microfibre Hollowfibre Sportswear from microfibres functions particularly well. It is breathable and at the same time provides reliable protection against wind and rain. 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 chemical manufacturing process creates threads which are then spun into denser filling to use to stuff pillows, duvets, cushions and toys. Polyester synthetic pillows are usually simply constructed with a cotton, or polyester slip (the outside of a pillow) with spiral fibre, microfibre or hollowfibre inside.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. Feather and down duvets are more ‘breathable’, meaning they will absorb more of the moisture in the bed. This moisture, of course, can’t just stay there and natural duvets will need airing regularly to release this moisture. Regular airing is precisely the same for synthetic fillings, however the duvet will not absorb as well as feather. Natural filling duvets are a little more difficult to clean and dry, requiring much lower temperatures and long drying times.
