Blind Tacking System
To create an optimal sleep environment, the padding materials are con-
nected to each other via an elaborate tacking system (the SCHRAMM
Blind Tacking System), and not – as it is customary – glued to each other
airtight. This allows the upholstery materials to move freely, enabling the
mattress to adapt to the contours of the body with point elasticity. The
cover cannot shift.
‘Breaking in’ your SCHRAMM mattress
SCHRAMM mattresses are made up of several layers of material, which
are padded in their natural form without compression or chemical rein-
forcement. The new mattress will adapt to your body shape and weight
over the first few weeks to months. The mattress must first be ‘broken in’,
similar to new shoes need to be broken in. After the ‘breaking-in’ period,
sleeping marks will become visible as signs of use in the main pressure
areas.
The mattress cover must stretch so that the mattress can adapt even
better to the shape of the body. Cotton and sheep‘s wool in their natural
form compress to some extent, and all foamed materials become softer
during use, especially in the main load zones, in the first few months ac-
cording to a physical law. This is not a defect. This is a natural process
that we take into account during production by using the highest quality
materials and complex handcrafting techniques. Only at the end of the
acclimatisation period is the maximum comfort of the mattress achieved.
The mattress now shows its natural signs of use. After the ‘acclimati-
sation phase’, SCHRAMM mattresses remain virtually unchanged over
many years of use and, thanks to the top quality of their materials and
workmanship, are subject to only the slightest possible wear and tear.
→ Natural usage characteristics
Camel hair topper
Camels experience a wide range of climatic conditions, from freezing
temperatures to very hot degrees above zero. Camel hair is therefore
known for its temperature-regulating properties, cooling in summer and
warming in winter. The hair is neither shorn nor combed out, but falls out
naturally in tufts in spring and is then processed into fluffy wool. Due to
its low wool grease content (lanolin), camel hair is also particularly suita-
ble for allergy sufferers.
Cashmere
Cashmere is a valuable wool that is obtained only once a year by combing
or plucking the cashmere goat native to the Central Asian highlands. The
yield is only 450–500 g per animal. It is the softest down hair, supple and
temperature-regulating.
