Natural sleep means regeneration for the body, mind and soul.
There is nowhere else where one can better relax and recharge his
batteries than in a perfectly constructed bed. What could be more
obvious than to pay the utmost attention to this bed? Experience,
tradition and natural materials play the key roles here. Experience
the unique sleeping climate in a bed made by SCHRAMM. Nothing
comes more naturally.
As part of the OEKO-TEX® examination of textile articles used in
close contact with the skin, bedding and bed linen are checked
to determine whether they satisfy specific requirements such as
the exclusion of allergenic disperse dyes, the strict regulation of
formaldehyde and the verification of good colour fastnesses (espe-
cially perspiration and rubbing fastness). The pH value also proves
to be kind to the skin. We attach great importance to the fact that
the materials we use in the skin-near area correspond to this stand-
ard. Therefore all our mattresses are labeled with “STANDARD 100
by OEKO-TEX®”.
Human skin is our natural connection to our environment. It loves
contact with natural materials. Cotton, sheep‘s wool, silk, linen,
cashmere and camel hair support the skin‘s natural release of mois-
ture and have a pleasant effect on a sleeping person. Our sheep‘s
wool comes from French freerange sheep. The sheep always live
in their natural environment in fresh air. This makes the wool much
stronger because it has to withstand wind and weather. The more
stable wool has a stronger restoring force and is less prone to com-
pression. The materials fit the body perfectly and allow optimal reg-
ulation of the bed climate and perception of temperature. Cotton
filling in the toppers and, on request, also as a cover for the mat-
tresses as an alternative to sheep‘s wool in case of allergy, is 100%
controlled organic farming quality (organic cotton). Out of a sense
of responsibility for a future worth living.
All padding material remaining after manufacturing the product is
returned to our regional sub-supplier where it is reused in produc-
tion after being reprocessed. A concept that is eco-socially and
economically successful.

We only use Talalay latex in our manufactory mattresses. Inciden-
tally, the use of this naturally renewable raw material also ensures
a clear environmental conscience. Processing Talalay latex is far
more energy efficient than comparable synthetic materials. In addi-
tion, its supplier, the tropical rubber tree, like all plants, binds the
climate gas CO2. If the mattress is later disposed of, only as much
of it is returned to the atmosphere as the tree needed to grow –
a perfectly climate-neutral product.
The fabrics of the PUREBEDS collection are a responsible choice
with regard to sustainability and environmental protection. Some
fabrics are made entirely with yarns of recycled material. In an
environmentally friendly production process, PET bottles and old
clothing, for example, are utilised for a new purpose. Recycling
materials are amazingly easy to care for and ecologically sustainable.
