Several own bed creations and fully integrated boxspring systems follow. Entirely comprehensive sleep comfort which is enhanced consistently.
Apart from classy materials and the perfect tailoring to the user’s needs almost 100 hours of master craftsman work are required for the premium bed GRAND CRU.

Can you tell me a little bit about why the mattress are organic?
We are not completely against synthetic materials, we just feel that natural materials give you a more natural feeling but for allergy sufferers for example synthetic fibres can be better.
Schramm do not use latex or foambeds, is there a reason for this?
We do use latex we use Talay latex, a thin layer on the top of our mattress’s, this is the best latex you can get and allows good circulation of air through the mattress and as well as allowing springs to spring back into shape. Animal hair and natural fibres are the best materials for making beds but they don’t come move back into shape like latex, the Talay latex ensures you have a better bed for longer.
How long does it take to make one your bed systems from start to finish?
It takes 100 - 150 hours, it is very labour intensive work.
Can a customer have any parts of the bed and mattress made bespoke to them?
The beds are all made bespoke to suit the customers taste as well as to suit there personal comfort level. There are various things that effect the mattress spring strength one of them being the mattress spring power the weight of the person. This can all be customized to suit the particular sleeper. As well as this the aesthetics of the bed can be made bespoke say the size of the headboard or what fabric it is made out off.
