Filling

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.

The term “synthetic down“ is an improper, misleading invention and must not be used in advertisements for bedding products.

 

According to a decision by the Provincial High Court of Appeal in Stuttgart, Germany, it is illegitimate to use the term “synthetic down“ in advertisements for bedding products. The Federal Court did not accept the appeal of the defendant.
