Abstract: A filling material for filling into articles of bedding is made by providing a plurality of discrete fiber clusters, applying a temperature stabilizing substance to the discrete fiber clusters, mixing the discrete fiber clusters with each other, and collecting the discrete fiber clusters thereby obtaining a filling material in which the distribution of the temperature stabilizing substance is substantially even. A device (1) for producing a filling material has an application station (22) for applying a temperature stabilizing substance to discrete fiber clusters, a curing station (24) for fixing the substance, a mixer (30) for mixing the discrete fiber clusters and a collecting station (32) for collecting the fiber clusters to form the filling material in which the distribution of the temperature stabilizing substance is substantially even.

Abstract: A filling material for filling into articles of bedding and the like is presented and includes polyester fibres having an average dimension of 0.5 to 2.5 dtex and being coated with a slickener and crimped. The fibres have been cut to an average length of 4-15 mm and have subsequently been opened. In a method of forming a filling material a tow of slickened fibres of the above type is formed and crimped and is then cut to the above mentioned length. The cut fibres are then opened to form the filling material.
