Pocket spring core
The pocket spring core is the classic, oldest type of spring core. In
SCHRAMM pocket spring core mattresses, cylinder springs are indivi-
dually sewn into pockets. Each individual spring is free-standing without
being connected to the neighbouring springs. This free suspension sys-
tem is used to produce highly point-elastic and supple upholstery. Based
on the knowledge that, in terms of body support and pressure equalisati-
on, a mattress can only offer optimum sleeping comfort if it is tailored to
the body weight and weight distribution of the user, SCHRAMM pocket
spring mattresses are manufactured in various designs and versions.
Pocket spring fabric
Our springs are individually sewn into nettle pockets, which supports the
excellent air circulation and removal of body moisture in the SCHRAMM
sleep system.
Recycled fabric
This fabric consists of 80 % recycled cotton and 20 % recycled polyes-
ter. Thanks to the resource-saving production process, the recycled ma-
terial is given a new purpose. Recycled fabrics are a responsible choice
in terms of sustainability and the environment.
Removable mattress covers
The double jersey fabric, quilted with polyester filling, is washable at
30 °C and can be cleaned. It can be used with the MYTHOS mattress
and the Lotus Light mattress topper.
• Gentle wash at 30 °C or delicate wash programme without pre-wash.
• Use a small amount of detergent.
• Spin gently – reduce spin speed!
• While still damp, pull the surface into shape lengthwise and crosswise.
• Smooth out firmly all around along the edging tape. → Cleaning and

• Do not tumble dry!
Natural usage characteristics of the SCHRAMM mattress
The upholstery materials used in SCHRAMM mattresses are processed
in their natural form, without being compressed using chemical additi-
ves. Natural materials such as sheep‘s wool, cotton and synthetic wad-
ding become firmer during the first few weeks of use due to the pressure
and heat of the body, particularly in the areas of the main lying zones
where the body protrudes, such as the shoulders, pelvis and buttocks.
The compaction of the materials and the stretching of the mattress cover,
visible as slight wrinkling on the mattress, are natural signs of use and
do not constitute a quality defect. On the contrary, the wrinkling – we
also call it sleep marks – is a sign of quality for a highly flexible mattress
that stretches to fit the shape of the body (stick measure tape measure).
These natural signs of wear are often mistakenly referred to as defects,
but they are actually the result of the mattress naturally adapting to the
user. → Breaking in
Odour, new smell
Due to the inherent odour of the materials and the packaging, it is not
possible to manufacture and deliver a completely odourless new pro-
duct. However, the inherent odour of freshly processed upholstery ma-
terials dissipates after only a short period of use thanks to the excellent
air circulation provided by the SCHRAMM two-mattress system. A water-
soluble adhesive consisting of water and latex is used for the adhesive
bonds in SCHRAMM mattresses, which are reduced to an absolute mi-
nimum.
Pilling
Pilling causes small fibre nodules to form on the textile surface of the
mattress. SCHRAMM Ticking is made with tightly twisted, long-staple
cotton with very well-bound warp and weft threads and a high fabric
density. Fitted sheets are often made from soft-twisted yarns with gene-
rally short-staple fibres and sometimes contain synthetic fibres, with the
aim of being particularly soft and skin-friendly.
Depending on the intensity of the sleeper‘s movements, soft, expo-
sed fibres from the fitted sheet stick to the ticking fabric due to friction
between the ticking and the fitted sheet. The resulting entanglement
leads to pilling, whereby the foreign fibres stick to the surface of the
ticking. Due to the deposits on the mattress, the mattress cover is mis-
takenly considered to be defective. Fine natural materials such as wool,
camel hair, cashmere or alpaca, with their short and soft fibres, are more
susceptible to lint and pilling. This is not a quality defect, but is due to the
naturalness and softness of the material. The functionality of the fabric
is not impaired. The gentlest method of removing unsightly but natural
pilling is to use a standard wool shaver, lint roller or special comb.
