Hollowfibre Pillows

What are hollowfibre pillows?

The springy and plump feel means hollowfibre pillows are often referred to as ‘bounceback’ pillows too. This is because they spring back into a full bouncy shape after each use.

What is used in a hollowfibre filling?

Hollowfibre pillows are usually constructed with a cotton cover and a synthetic fibre filling. The long hollow strands within the filling make the pillow lightweight and breathable yet reasonably firm to the touch.

What is the difference between hollowfibre and microfibre?

Hollowfibre pillows are springy and on the firmer side with space between the fibres for cool airflow. Microfibre pillows are softer with tightly woven fibres for a warmer feel.

Are hollowfibre pillows good?

The bouncy filling of a hollowfibre pillow means it springs back into shape almost instantly – so there’s no need to fluff them up by hand like you have to with traditional pillows such as feather or down.

Who are hollowfibre pillows best suited to?

Because these pillows are on the firmer side, they provide good neck support and are designed for back sleepers in particular. The airy construction makes them light and breathable so they’re also a good choice for people who tend to feel hot throughout the night.
