Polyester vs. Microfiber? What Are the Differences?

Are polyester and microfiber the same?

Polyester and microfiber share some similarities such as being generally comfortable and durable but there are still important differences between the two that may affect your buying decision. Polyester is more durable while microfiber is more absorbent, breathable, and more comfortable. Both are easy to care for.

Let’s take a closer look at these two fabrics to understand them better.

What Is Polyester Fabric?

You see it all the time on the tags of your clothes, pillow covers, and bedsheets but what exactly is polyester? Polyester is a synthetic fabric usually made of chemicals derived from petroleum, coal, and other fossil fuels.

It’s used to make a range of different products, from apparel to carpets to fishing nets. However, it’s most commonly used for making clothing items — the purpose it was originally intended for. It’s also extensively used for home furnishings, especially for bedsheets and blankets.

Polyester’s popularity is largely because it’s cheap to produce and durable. Items made of polyester don’t wrinkle or tear easily. Stains in polyester are also relatively easy to remove. Since it isn’t the most breathable fabric, it’s often blended with other types of materials like cotton for added comfort.
