A low density body such as a sheet, board or molding usable as a cushioning material, heat-insulating material, sound-absorbing material, filter, low density base paper or the like is provided. The low density body having a density of 0.05 to 0.45 g/cm.sup.3 is prepared by dewatering a slurry containing fine fibers having a bond-reinforcing factor of at least 0.15 and curled fibers having a wet curl factor of 0.4 to 1.0, and drying the resultant product. |
