Definitions

• the invention relates to a padding and filling material according to the preamble of claim 1.
• Such padding and filling materials are known from practice. They combine the bulking and resilience properties of polyester fibers with the properties of kapok fibers, which counteract bacterial infestation of the upholstery filling material.
• the invention is based on the object of improving a generic padding and filling material in such a way that it is particularly well suited for use in bedding and has advantageous moisture management. Furthermore, the invention is based on the object of specifying suitable bedding accordingly.
• the invention proposes adding a proportion of lyocell fibers to the mixed fiber fleece Trade names "Tencel" are customary in the market.
• the lyocell fibers have high dry and wet strength and absorb moisture very well. Furthermore, the fibers are very soft. They are therefore very well suited for pillows, blankets and the like, which are intended for contact with the human body over a large area, possibly over a comparatively long period of time. Therefore, bedding, in particular bed covers, can advantageously have a filling made of the proposed padding and filling material.
• the mixed fiber fleece can consist of between 65 and 85% polyester fibers.
• the desired fill power and resilience of the padding or bedding is ensured.
• a filling material with this proportion of polyester fibers ensures even heat retention and reduces temperature fluctuations.
• the mixed fiber fleece can advantageously contain between 10 and 20% kapok fibers. This proportion is sufficient to achieve the desired antibacterial effect. At the same time, the high degree of air inclusions supports good thermal insulation, so that the kapok fibers are well suited for bedding, especially as a filling material for duvets.
• the mixed fiber fleece can advantageously contain between 5 and 20% lyocell fibers. This comparatively small proportion is sufficient to ensure the desired moisture-regulating properties of the padding and filling material. In the case of bedding, for example, in particular bed covers, this advantageously ensures that body moisture is absorbed, so that a healthy, dry sleeping climate is supported.
• a composition of the mixed fiber fleece with 75% polyester fibers, 15% kapok fibers and 10% lyocell fibers has proven to be excellently suited for bedding, in particular bed covers.
• the heat-insulating properties of the polyester fibers can be improved in particular by designing at least some of the polyester fibers, but advantageously all of the polyester fibers, as hollow fibers.
