Company Mission

We have been running since 1854 and is now in its fifth generation, setting new standards in terms of sleeping comfort. From the very beginning, the company has been dedicated to developing high-quality products for healthy, restful sleep. The current generation is particularly committed to responsibility for people and the environment. This is why they are working continuously and intensively on new, innovative products with sustainable, healthy properties that are based on natural and resource-saving raw materials. Creating long-lasting values in which sophisticated quality and a high level of responsibility for people and the environment take priority over short-term trends – that is the philosophy of our organization.

Core Values

The combination of tradition and modernity – values since 1854.

With the invention of the first washable quilts filled with polyester fibers at the end of the 1960s, we changed German sleeping culture. Today, the products, which are exclusively produced in Germany, are sold in more than 50 countries around the world and ensure healthy, restful sleep worldwide. Research and development, production, sales: all of this has been made in Germany since 1854. For that long, we have been passing on its experience in producing the finest bedding from generation to generation. As a family business, we stand for traditional values combined with modern company management and a high level of responsibility towards the people in the company.

Committed to the company\’s successful tradition, quality, functionality and design combined with the constant desire for innovation still form the basis of a market-driven product range for healthy, restful sleep and thus for a better quality of life.
