Fibrefill

/ˈfaɪbrˌfɪl/ noun

Definition

A synthetic fiber material used to fill pillows, cushions, quilts, and stuffed toys as an alternative to down or natural fibers.

Etymology

From 'fibre' (British spelling of fiber, from Latin 'fibra') plus 'fill' (from Old English 'fyllan' meaning to make full).

Kelly Says

Fibrefill is why your polyester pillow is hypoallergenic and machine-washable—it replaced goose down for millions of people, making comfortable bedding affordable and allergist-approved.
