Every insulation technology is developed around a specific design challenge—whether the priority is minimal bulk, additional loft, reliable manufacturing or active temperature regulation.
Designed for products where every millimetre matters. The lightweight polypropylene microfibre construction delivers excellent thermal insulation while maintaining flexibility, comfort and minimal bulk.
Engineered for long-term loft and insulation performance. The resilient polypropylene microfibre construction is designed to maintain loft and thermal performance through repeated washing, helping products perform consistently throughout their lifetime.
Polypropylene fibres absorb very little moisture. Low moisture absorption helps maintain thermal comfort while reducing heat loss caused by moisture and moving air.
Protective polypropylene fleece layers improve material stability, reduce fibre migration and support efficient cutting, quilting and garment production.
Successfully used for decades in apparel, footwear and technical textile applications where lightweight thermal insulation and reliable performance are essential.

MEIDA Original is a lightweight thermal insulation technology based on 100% polypropylene microfibres. It is designed to provide efficient warmth in a thin, low-bulk construction.
MEIDA Original is made from 100% polypropylene microfibres with protective polypropylene fleece layers on both sides to improve stability and reduce fibre migration.
MEIDA Original traps still air within its fine microfibre structure. This helps reduce heat loss while keeping the insulation lightweight, flexible and breathable.
Polypropylene microfibres combine low weight, effective thermal insulation and very low moisture absorption. They also help the material maintain loft and performance through repeated washing.
MEIDA Original combines thermal performance, low bulk, low moisture absorption and long-term loft retention in a thin polypropylene microfibre construction.

Microfibre insulation is often used when warmth must be achieved without adding unnecessary thickness. MEIDA Original is designed specifically for applications where low bulk and thermal efficiency are important.
Polypropylene absorbs very little moisture compared with many other fibres. This makes polypropylene insulation suitable for products where stable thermal performance in changing conditions is important.
Dry insulation performs more consistently than insulation that absorbs moisture. Low moisture absorption helps reduce heat loss and supports thermal comfort during use.
Yes. MEIDA Original is engineered to maintain loft and insulation performance through repeated washing when processed according to the recommended care instructions.
Insulation materials with resilient fibre structures and low moisture absorption are better suited to maintaining performance after repeated washing. MEIDA Original is developed with this long-term performance in mind.
Loft creates the air pockets that provide insulation. If loft is reduced, the material can become more compact and lose part of its thermal performance.
Yes. MEIDA Original allows moisture vapour to pass through the insulation while maintaining effective thermal performance.
Yes. Efficient insulation traps still air for warmth while allowing moisture vapour to escape through the construction.
MEIDA Original helps reduce heat loss by trapping insulating air, absorbing very little moisture and reducing the effect of moving air within the insulation layer.
A high warmth-to-weight ratio means that an insulation material provides strong thermal performance without adding unnecessary weight to the finished product.

Winter gloves often require thin insulation that provides warmth while preserving dexterity. MEIDA Original is well suited to glove constructions where low bulk is important.
Safety footwear often requires insulation that adds warmth without making the shoe stiff or heavy. MEIDA Original can be used in insulated footwear constructions where low bulk and durability matter.
Workwear insulation should balance warmth, breathability, durability and wash performance. MEIDA Original is suitable for workwear where lightweight insulation and long-term performance are important.
Outdoor apparel often requires insulation that combines warmth, breathability and low weight. MEIDA Original is designed for technical garments where flexibility and thermal comfort are important.
When space is limited, thin microfibre insulation can provide warmth without excessive bulk. MEIDA Original is developed for products where every millimetre matters.
Yes. MEIDA Original can be used in selected bedding and comfort products where lightweight insulation and thermal performance are required.
Everything product developers ask us about MEIDA Soft.
Yes. MEIDA Original can be quilted and integrated into a wide range of textile constructions.
Fibre migration occurs when loose fibres move through fabrics during production or use. It can affect appearance, processing and long-term product quality.
MEIDA Original uses protective polypropylene fleece layers on both sides to improve stability and help reduce fibre migration during production and use.
Protective fleece layers make the insulation easier to cut, handle, quilt and sew while improving material stability in the finished product.
MEIDA Original is available from 50 gsm to 300 gsm, allowing manufacturers to select the insulation level that best matches the application.
Yes. MEIDA Original is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified and tested for harmful substances.
CLO values, Rct values, thickness, available weights and other technical data are available in the MEIDA Original technical datasheet.
