Summary:A process for making a strong, high loft, low density nonwoven fabric from a web comprising at least about 5 percent bicomponent fibers of up to 6.8 mesh/ inch, and the fabric formed thereby; wherein the web is superimposed on a first carrier belt, an open mesh belt is superimposed on the web, and the web and belts are caused to travel in tensioned curvilinear path adjacent a heating means to heat fuse the low melting point component of the conjugate fibers to fibers in the web.
