Material and its use

Hollofayer is a synthetic material for the production of which polyester is used. It consists of small hollow balls of polyester fiber. In order that the hollow fibers do not migrate, the material undergoes heat treatment.

The use of the holofiber is very wide. This material has good heat conductivity, durability and hygiene. It is used not only for making outerwear, but also as a filler for blankets and pillows.

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

Hollofiber has the following properties:

• Ease. When the material is repeatedly magnified under a microscope, its structure is visible. Each fiber in it is represented as a hollow tube. Due to this, even despite the volume, the weight of the holofiber is much less than other materials.
• Thermal conductivity. Due to its structure and composition, this material perfectly keeps the heat, but at the same time, the air in it can circulate.
• Non-hygroscopicity. The moisture in the material is not absorbed, so the pillow will not suddenly turn into a moist one. In addition, there is no absorption of odors and the accumulation of static electricity.
• Hypoallergenic. The origin of the holofiber is artificial, therefore in its composition there are no allergens, harmful to the human body. Also, such a medium is not suitable for the propagation of dust mites.
• Hygienic. Such material does not require constant cleaning or washing. Regularly it is necessary to wash duvet covers and pillow cases, but the pillows and blankets themselves are enough once a year.
• Wear resistance. If you properly care for the product, it will last for many years, without losing volume or shape.

How to erase holofayber?

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

Externally, this material is similar to cotton wool. The cushion keeps the shape due to its even distribution. When washing in the machine, the filler is knocked off, after which the pillow can not be used.

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

Even if you put tennis balls in the car, as they do when washing down jackets, the filler will still roll down and deform.

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