In some embodiments, the inventive subject matter relates to a fiber construct suitable for use as a fill material for insulation or padding, comprising: a primary fiber structure comprising a predetermined length of fiber; a secondary fiber structure, the secondary fiber structure comprising a plurality of relatively short loops spaced along a length of the primary fiber. In some embodiments, the inventive subject matter relates to insulative fiber structures that mimic the structure and scale of natural down and thereby provide similar properties.

A pillow including a pillow-liner having an upper liner, a lower liner, and at least one middle liner. The upper liner, lower liner, and at least one middle liner are sealed together adjacent peripheral edges thereof to define an open end and at least two internal compartments. The at least one middle liner is generally parallel with the upper and lower liners. The pillow also includes cushioning materials for filling the at least two internal compartments. Each of the at least two internal compartments are filled with different cushioning materials such that the internal compartments have different density and firmness when filled with the respective cushioning materials. At least one of the at least two internal compartments is filled with a plurality of loose pieces of a shredded foam material, and at least one of the at least two internal compartments is filled with a one-piece molded foam material.

The present invention relates to non-sewn down bedding including a partition wall provided with a unique non-sewn partition wall member and an edge portion finished to have a special structure, thereby greatly simplifying the bedding manufacturing process, reducing costs and improving productivity while inhibiting down from escaping through the edge portion. Therefore, the quality of a finished product may be very high. A non-sewn bedding item according to the present invention includes a bedding outer cover having an upper fabric and a lower fabric, the upper fabric and the lower fabric defining an inner space, a partition wall member configured to divide the inner space into a plurality of compartment spaces such that each of the compartment spaces is filled with down, the partition wall allowing air to flow between the compartment spaces and restricting movement of the down between the compartment spaces, and an edge finish portion formed at an edge of the bedding item to inhibit the down from escaping from each of the compartment spaces.
