Abstract
Highly elastic heat-bonding conjugated fibers capable of providing a fiber structure having excellent recovery from compression and compression durability and a high level of air permeability comprise a thermoplastic elastomer component and a crystalline nonelastic polyester component having a higher melting point than that of the elastomer as constituent components thereof and can be provided by arranging the elastomer component in a crescent shape in the circular fiber cross section of the bonding conjugated fibers and specifying the geometrical dimensions (a shape occupied by each of the two components constituting the heat-bonding conjugated fibers) therein.
