Velour
Velour with soft, velvety surfaces develops shading effects during use,
also known as ‘writing’. The finer and shinier the velour, the more vib-
rant it appears. The top layer (pile layer), which consists of many small
threads, changes colour depending on how the light hits the area and
the direction / angle of the pile threads. Sometimes permanent shading
can be seen, known as the shading effect. Plain-coloured velours are
most prone to this effect.
Wood-based materials
We source our wood from sustainable forestry. Naturally grown wood
is not a synthetic material. Each trunk differs in colour and structure,
which can lead to variations. The natural or dyed woods are protected
with a colourless silk matt varnish or a natural wood effect varnish, Na-
turo matt. The wood surface may darken over time depending on the
lighting conditions. Natural variations and darkening processes do not
constitute grounds for complaint.
Zipper
Zippers are available for some mattresses, which can be used to create
a large, flat sleeping surface – this prevents the formation of a so-called
‘visitor‘s gap’.

Typical product characteristics
Under-mattress / two-mattress system
The upholstered SCHRAMM under-mattress forms the basis of the bed.
It is a stable, elastic base that supports the sensitive upper mattress in
its effect. Added to this are the excellent climate properties of the two-
mattress system. Air can circulate freely vertically and horizontally, remo-
ving moisture. Only the combination of SCHRAMM under-mattress and
top mattress provides the best possible relaxation. It is not hard resis-
tance, but harmonious adaptation that makes the two-mattress system
a perfect unit. Please note: Always combine a SCHRAMM top mattress
with a SCHRAMM under-mattress. Only then can the functions, bed cli-
mate and durability be optimally guaranteed.
Use of the SCHRAMM mattress across its entire width
Mattresses should be used across their entire width, especially in the
first few weeks and months, so that the upholstery materials can adapt
across the full width of the bed. This is because materials stretch slight-
ly, cotton and sheep‘s wool compress, and foam materials – even the
highest quality ones – become noticeably softer in the first few weeks
and months due to the laws of physics. In technical terms, this process
is called → compression hardness loss.
UV resistance
Natural materials such as cotton, linen, silk and wool are not permanently
UV-resistant.
