What is the difference between the polyester fibre and the micro-polystyrene bead fillers?
The polyester fibre filler is the same type of filler found in standard sleeping pillows. The polyester fibre type we use is called Ball Fibre, and is manufactured in North Vancouver. It is 100% hypo-allergenic siliconized polyester fibre balls, so that the pillow will maintain its fluffy and springy full shape. The micro-polystyrene bead filler is like the beads found in traditional bean bag chairs, just smaller and finer. The beads are CFC free and made of 100% mini virgin expanded polystyrene beads. We buy them directly from the Alberta manufacturers, and do not use micro-polystyrene beads from recycled material for health and safety reasons as it can not be guaranteed where the products originated. The beads are filled with air, and will retain their shape and size over time.
