Unitary nonwoven material

A unitary airlaid nonwoven material comprising three layers of fibers, wherein

• a first layer of the three layers of fibers comprises synthetic bicomponent fibers, each synthetic bicomponent fiber having a core comprising a first polymer and a sheath comprising a second polymer, the sheath surrounding the core;
• a second layer of the three layers of fibers comprises cellulose fibers and synthetic low core bicomponent fibers, each synthetic low core bicomponent fiber having a core comprising a first polymer and a sheath comprising a second polymer, the sheath surrounding the core, wherein the core is less than 50% by weight of the synthetic low core bicomponent fiber;
• a third layer of the three layers of fibers comprises cellulose fibers and synthetic high core bicomponent fibers, each synthetic high core bicomponent fiber having a core comprising a first polymer having a melting point above 200° C. and a polyethylene sheath surrounding the core, wherein the core is more than 50% by weight of the synthetic high core bicomponent fiber;
• one or both of the cellulose fibers of the second layer and the third layer comprise hardwood bonded natural cellulosic fibers having a coarseness ranging from about 4.2 mg/100 m to about 8.8 mg/100 m.
