The most popular type of duvet fill is made of synthetic fibres, manmade fibre duvets, categorized as those with polyester hollowfibre or microfiber fillings, are a common choice due to their affordability, ease of care and hypoallergenic properties. However, they may not last as long and can cause discomfort by making you hot or cold due to their lack of breathability and insulation. Despite these drawbacks, synthetic duvets are a convenient and lightweight option, especially for families. If you decide to go with a synthetic duvet, it's important to understand the difference between Hollowfibre and Microfibre duvets. Microfibre duvets are considered superior to hollowfibre duvets as they are less sweaty and drape better over the bed, providing a more luxurious feel. While they may be slightly more expensive, the difference is often negligible, making them still one of the most affordable options available. The key distinction between microfibre and hollowfibre lies in the fineness of the fibres, with microfibres being lighter and more luxurious, while hollow fibres are thicker and more durable. Microfibre duvets tend to be softer and mimic the feel of down, while hollowfibre duvets are springier and maintain their shape. Additionally, microfibres have the added benefit of wicking moisture away from the body, keeping you dry and comfortable throughout the night.

As you may have already guessed, hollowfibre duvets derive their name from the fact that they are made from fibres with space between their weaving. The hollow space between the fibres ensures that the duvet is breathable and provides more loft than many other duvets filled with synthetic materials. If you are looking for a warm, breathable and lightweight duvet, a hollow fibre duvet is an excellent choice. With numerous options on the market, it can be overwhelming to choose the right hollowfibre duvet, but it is crucial to select one that is high-quality and durable. In contrast, microfibre duvets are crafted from very fine fibres that are tightly woven without any hollow space. These duvets offer exceptional warmth due to their densely packed fibres and are often treated with an anti-allergy coating, making them ideal for allergy sufferers. Microfibre duvets are lightweight compared to natural-filled duvets and are currently one of the most popular synthetic fillings available. They provide warmth without the heaviness, making them a comfortable choice for a good night's sleep. Microfibre duvets can feel similar to down, such as a Aerelle Coolnights duvet, but are much lighter and easier to sleep under. Microfibre is the lightest and finest synthetic fibre used as a duvet filling, offering an extra soft and extremely cosy feel. If you have always used natural-filled duvets but are considering a change, a microfibre duvet is a great option. The debate between Microfibre vs Hollowfibre is not a simple one, as both have their own unique benefits.
