Material and its use

Hollofiber is a synthetic material for the manufacture of which is used polyester. It consists of small hollow balls of polyester fiber. In order for the hollow fibers not to migrate, the material is subjected to heat treatment.

The use of holofiber is very wide. This material is characterized by good thermal conductivity, wear resistance and hygiene. It is used not only for sewing outerwear, but also as a filler for blankets and pillows.

Important! In such fluffy and soft bedding there is practically no difference with products from feather and down.

Hollofiber has the following properties:

• Ease. With a multiple increase in material, its structure is visible under a microscope. Each fiber in it is presented in the form of a hollow tube. Due to this, even despite the volume, the weight of the holofiber is significantly less than other materials.
• Thermal conductivity. Due to its structure and composition, this material perfectly stores heat, but at the same time, air can circulate in it.
• Non-hygroscopic. Moisture is not absorbed into the material, so the pillow will not suddenly turn into raw. In addition, odors and static electricity are not absorbed.
• Hypoallergenic. The origin of holofiber is artificial, therefore, it does not contain allergens that are harmful to the human body. Also, such an environment is not suitable for the propagation of dust mites.
• Hygiene. Such material does not require constant cleaning or washing. Regularly need to wash duvet covers and pillowcases, but the pillows and blankets themselves - enough once a year.
• Wear resistant. If you properly care for the product, it will last for many years without losing volume or shape.

How to wash hollofiber?

Of course, the housewives are interested in whether it is possible to wash pillows from holofiber in a washing machine. The answer is unequivocal - no!

Externally, this material is similar to cotton. The pillow holds its shape due to its even distribution. When washing in a car, the filler gets off, after which the pillow cannot be used.

Important! No matter how good the washing machine is, with prolonged rinsing and intensive extraction, the shape of the holofiber changes.

Even if you put tennis balls in the car, as you do when washing down jackets, the filler still rolls and deforms.

Often on the pillow labels it is indicated that you can choose a gentle washing mode without spinning. But before you wash the pillow from the holofiber in the washing machine, you need to understand that the material will no longer be so soft and fluffy.
