A paper-contacting side of the second felt is formed of a nonwoven layer which includes at least 80 wt. %, in particular at least 90 wt. % of nonwoven fibers formed of polyamide or polyamides and having a fineness of 6.7 dtex or less, in particular 3.3 dtex or less. An associated method for producing a fibrous web, in particular a tissue web, is also provided.
