German term or phrase: gefüllte/ungefüllte Bettwaren
Guidance on the use of a quality label for bedding:
"Kennzeichnung von Bettwarenhüllen:
- Ungefüllte Bettware darf nicht sichtbar als zertifiziertes Produkt gekennzeichnet werden
- Außenseitige Kennzeichnung gefüllter Bettware, nur wenn alle Bestandteile zertifiziert sind"
Not sure if "gefüllt" should be just "filled", as I would usually expect them to specify e.g. "wool filled" or "down filled", or if it should be "quilted/non-quilted" - or is this too specific?

filled bedding/regular bedding
Explanation:
"filled bedding" gets many googles, "regular bedding" just a guess to fit the logic

Thanks to all of you. I eventually went for filled/non-filled as quilted seemed too specific.

don't specify


Explanation:
If it is not specified somewhere else in the text, I wouldn't take the risk to specify it. A Google search for "gefüllte Bettdecken" results in duvets filled with feathers, downs, microfibres, even herbs. You simply can't be sure with which they are filled or not filled respectively.
