Hollowfiber is a new generation synthetic non-woven material obtained by thermal bonding of hollow polyester fibers twisted into spirals. This filler has a number of advantages.
- Hypoallergenic – dust mites do not start in holofiber products, therefore the main cause that provokes an allergic reaction is absent.
- Lightness – products made from this material are very light in weight and easy to use.
- Elasticity – due to the special structure of the holofiber balls, the product is able to withstand any load without damaging its shape.
- Durability – the holofiber fibers are connected to each other so tightly that they are quite difficult to tear or damage.
- Durability – this material is not subject to rotting, mold, fungi or other harmful microorganisms.
- Hygroscopicity – products with holofiber do not accumulate moisture.
- In addition, this filler retains heat well, does not burn and is affordable.

Uses and types
Due to such a large number of advantages, this material is widely used in the light industry (pillows and blankets, children's and adult outerwear, toys), is used as a filler for furniture, and also in construction for wall insulation.
Hollowfiber is divided into several types.
- Soft is the softest type of filler, used for sewing children's clothing.
Roll, thickness varies depending on purpose, used as insulation in the manufacture of clothing. - The medium is used to produce pillows, blankets, small children's mattresses and toys.
More dense, thick and elastic, holding its shape well. - Volumetric is a voluminous material, most often found as a filler for jackets and down jackets.
Designed to create shapes for decorative items. - Hard is the hardest option used for furniture production.
The best material for maintaining fixed shapes on upholstered furniture is hard holofiber.
Hollowfiber pillows and their advantages
Hollowfiber pillows are available in standard sizes - 40*70, 70*70 for adults and 40*60 for children. Depending on the type of filler, pillows have different degrees of hardness and even the most picky buyer will be able to choose a pillow according to their needs. Hollowfiber pillows and blankets are in demand due to their obvious advantages.
- These products are very light and comfortable, the material does not bunch up or roll up, providing a smooth and even surface that is comfortable for sleeping.
- Due to the low hygroscopicity of the filler, mold and mildew do not form in holofiber pillows and household parasites do not appear, which ensures their high hypoallergenicity.
- The stability, strength and elasticity of the material ensure high wear resistance of these products.
- Since holofiber is produced without gluing or using chemicals, pillows made from it are non-toxic and environmentally friendly.
- The cost-effectiveness of production of this material allows manufacturers to keep the price of the product low, so these pillows are affordable for everyone.
How to wash items
A holofiber pillow can be washed in an automatic washing machine, but very carefully, on the most delicate setting. For a long service life of such a pillow, hand washing is preferable, for this you should follow the following instructions.
- Fill a large basin with cool water (20-30 degrees) and carefully add liquid detergent to the water. It is necessary to use liquid detergent, as powder is less easily rinsed out when washing by hand.
- Soak the pillow in water and detergent for 25-35 minutes.
- Rinse the item carefully several times in cool water.
- A well-rinsed item should be wrung out carefully, without twisting or squeezing too hard.
- Place on a horizontal surface to dry, periodically fluffing and turning the pillow over.
Why is holofiber better than synthetic padding or fluff
The technology of holofiber production, in the process of which polyester forms a special spiral-ball structure, makes this material especially strong and resistant to damage and ruptures. Unlike synthetic padding, in the production of which the fibers are glued together in a straight line, forming a single fabric that is subject to ruptures. If you pull the fibers of synthetic padding in different directions, the fabric can easily be torn, with holofiber this will not work, and this is its first advantage.
The second advantage is that holofiber does not absorb water and odors, while synthetic padding easily gets wet and retains the odor. Wet synthetic padding is subject to destruction to an even greater extent, in addition, if poorly dried, the process of rotting of the fabric fibers may begin. The third positive difference of holofiber is the absence of toxicity. Glue is used in the production of synthetic padding, which makes the material more harmful to health than holofiber, the fibers of which are glued together under the influence of high temperature.
Compared to down, holofiber also wins. Down pillows are heavier than their holofiber counterparts, which means they are less convenient in everyday life. Like synthetic padding, down filler gets wet and absorbs odors, in addition, products with down filler quickly lose their shape after washing, the fluff falls off and the volume of the product is lost. Down fillers are an excellent environment for the nutrition and reproduction of microorganisms harmful to humans, so down can hardly be called a hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly filler.
Each of us spends almost a third of our lives sleeping. Cleanliness and comfort of bedding ensures healthy sleep and beauty of the person's face. How often are the skin damaged by dust mites from pillows, causing inflammation and rashes. The number of allergic diseases is constantly growing, and each allergy can lead to asthma. Hollow fiber pillows are unique in their hypoallergenicity and environmental friendliness, such a thing is worth buying for everyone to maintain health and ensure a comfortable night's rest.
