Sleeping climate
On average, humans lose half a litre of moisture per night while slee-
ping. This is why the ventilation of the mattress plays an important role.
To create the best bed climate, SCHRAMM uses a complex stitching
technique to connect the upholstery materials. At SCHRAMM, air can
circulate freely through the lower and upper mattresses – the basis for
restful sleep.
Spring quality
1. Thermal furnace tempering – the memory of the SCHRAMM springs
Tempering means making the steel strong and tough. High strength re-
sults in high resistance to plastic deformation and breakage, prevents
loss of resilience and ensures lasting elasticity. To achieve this, the steel
must be slowly heated to very high temperatures and then slowly cooled
again. The furnace heat tempering is a quality maturing process – si-
milar to that used for high-quality wine. Unique worldwide – only from
SCHRAMM.
2. Demagnetisation
The thermal furnace tempering of the springs at approximately 300 °C
causes the material to lose its magnetic effect, but the steel retains its
natural properties. In addition, our manufactured springs are copper-
plated.
3. Specially woven pocket spring core fabric
A pocket spring core fabric made of nettle fabric provides excellent sup-
port for the removal of body moisture from the mattress and ensures
optimum air circulation.
4. ‘Heart muscle’ pocket spring core strand
With high-quality springs, exclusive upholstery materials and distinctive,
handcrafted manufacturing methods, SCHRAMM products can be indi-
vidually tailored to the user. We also call our handmade pocket spring
core the ‘heart muscle’.
5. Different spring strengths and formulations (degrees of hardness)
Integrated lengthwise into the SCHRAMM mattress, the different springs
enable optimal pressure equalisation when lying down. The combination
of different springs is available in different formulations. They ensure that
the mattress responds optimally to the specific, individual requirements of
customers. This means more pressure equalisation, less movement, more
comfortable lying, peaceful sleep – pure relaxation.
S.C.A. – Secondary Contour Adjustment (patented)
Personalised sleeping comfort. Depending on individual body shape,
such as narrow or broad shoulders, pronounced or less pronounced
contours of the hips and pelvis, or during pregnancy, the under-mattress
can be raised independently and continuously by up to 2 cm and lowe-
red by up to 2 cm in the shoulder and pelvic areas. Through noticeable
optimisation – comparable to the adjustment options of a comfort seat
in a car – this technology creates a ‘tailor-made suit for the bedroom’.
Once you have made your purchase decision, S.C.A. allows you to fine-
tune and adjust the mattress to your desired sleeping position, even
after physical changes. This fine adjustment, which can be changed at
any time, in combination with the correct spring force formula of the up-
per mattress, defines the optimal lying position for unrestricted sleeping
comfort.
Shading effect
Shading effects, also known as ‘writing’, occur on velour with soft, vel-
vety surfaces during use. 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 areas and in
which direction or angle the pile threads are laid. Sometimes permanent
shades can also be seen, known as the shading effect. Plain-coloured
velours are most prone to this effect.
Sheep‘s wool
Sheep‘s wool is an elastic, natural animal fibre and is naturally flame-
retardant. Pure, natural sheep‘s wool is used for the mattress uphols-
tery cover. Sheep‘s wool comes from live sheep and is not chemically
treated. It is very comfortable because the wool fibres adapt to the bed
temperature due to their large volume. It has a warming effect in cold
weather and a cooling effect in warm weather. SCHRAMM uses the high-
est quality sheep‘s wool, known as “Plein Air”. Plein Air wool is obtained
from French free-range sheep. This also ensures that the wool is free
from pesticides. The sheep live in their natural environment, always in
the fresh air. This makes the wool much stronger because it has to with-
stand wind and weather. The resulting more stable wool has a stronger
resilience and is less prone to compression.
Silk
Silk is a fibre obtained exclusively from the cocoons of silk-spinning in-
sects. Silk has a noble sheen, is very soft, skin-friendly, light and supp-
le. It offers good thermal insulation: cooling in summer and warming in
winter.
