bedding material

Mattress filling substance

Bedding material is any substance used to line an animal's sleeping or resting area.

Straw, wood shavings, shredded paper, and sand serve as bedding material for livestock, laboratory animals, and pets.

The term appears most often in agricultural and veterinary contexts: We need to change the bedding material in the chicken coop.
