The above-mentioned description shows that down is a filling material for bedding products which leads the way and is a measure for other materials.
Obviously, down fillings offer such an excellent sleeping comfort so that it is time and again tried to model the characteristic properties of down. The term “similar” implies that the product “is close” to the natural product down. The term “similar to wood” does not signify that it is real wood. And a reproduction of wood is no real wood either.
The manufacturer still must prove that his products really have properties which are comparable to down. Following the information obtained from the association of manufacturers of down-and-feather-filled bedding products, nobody has been able to prove it so far.
