Microfiber and polyester are related, but not identical, fabrics.
Polyester is a type of synthetic fiber that is made from petroleum-based products. Polyester is widely used in clothing, bedding, and other textile products. Polyester is known for its durability, resistance to wrinkling, and ability to retain its shape.
Microfiber, on the other hand, is a fabric made from very fine synthetic fibers, often including polyester. Microfiber is known for its soft, smooth texture and ability to absorb moisture and hold onto it. Microfiber is often used to make cleaning cloths, towels, other cleaning products, and clothing, bedding, and furniture.
So while microfiber is not the same as polyester, it is often made from polyester fibers and can be considered a polyester fabric. The choice between microfiber and polyester will largely depend on the specific needs of your situation and the specific properties of each fabric.
