The Perfect Entry into the World of Schramm
Schramm positions the Heaven Mattress as the accessible entry point into their manufactory range — bringing the same handcrafted German quality, the same furnace-tempered spring technology, and the same natural material philosophy found in the Divina, at a price point designed to introduce a broader audience to what genuine Schramm craftsmanship feels like. It is not a compromise product — it is a full Schramm mattress in every meaningful respect.
Thermal Furnace-Tempered Pocket Springs — The Same Unique Technology as the Divina
A critical distinction between the Heaven and the Emotion Luxe is the spring technology. The Heaven uses Schramm’s thermal furnace-tempered pocket springs — the same worldwide unique spring system used in the Divina and Mythos, not the electrical tempering used in the Emotion Luxe.
After winding, each spring is slowly heated in an industrial furnace to very high temperatures and slowly cooled — permanently altering the molecular structure of the steel to produce a spring with a significantly stronger reset force, a mechanical memory, and permanent elasticity. These springs are resistant to fatigue and not subject to wear. They do not lose tension progressively over years of nightly use as standard springs do — they maintain their support and dynamics for the lifetime of the mattress.
Each spring is a 6-coil design, individually hand-sewn into its own cotton pocket without any adhesives. The core contains approximately 500 cylindrical springs for a 100x200cm mattress, distributed across 5 differentiated weight zones — calibrated to provide targeted support and pressure relief across the body’s varying weight distribution from head to foot. Multiple spring tension combinations are available to match body weight and sleeping preference.
Patented Schramm Shoulder Zone — Designed for Side Sleepers
A standout feature of the Heaven is Schramm’s patented shoulder zone — an integrated section of springs with reduced tension specifically calibrated for the shoulder region.
When sleeping on your side, the shoulder is the widest and most prominent contact point with the sleeping surface. Standard uniform-tension spring systems create upward pressure on the shoulder joint that leads to restricted circulation and discomfort during the night. Schramm’s patented shoulder zone uses specially softened springs in combination with a highly elastic cotton fabric in the shoulder area — allowing the shoulder to sink gently into the surface while the rest of the body remains correctly supported. This feature is particularly significant for dedicated side sleepers, and it is a meaningful ergonomic advantage that distinguishes the Heaven from non-zoned alternatives.
Plein Air Virgin Wool and High-Resilience Cold Foam Padding
The Heaven’s padding combines Schafschurwolle Plein Air — pure new wool from French free-range sheep living permanently outdoors without pesticide treatment — with a layer of high-resilience cold foam (HR foam).
Plein Air wool’s structural strength, natural warmth regulation, and moisture absorption contribute to an exceptional sleeping climate. HR cold foam — one of the most valuable foam qualities, belonging to the group of polyether foams with the highest quality values in terms of elasticity and resilience — adds adaptive, pressure-relieving comfort to the natural fibre foundation. As with all Schramm mattresses, all padding layers are joined by handcrafted tacking without adhesives, preserving dimensional stability and maximum breathability throughout the mattress depth.

FAQ:
Q: The Heaven and the Divina both use thermal furnace-tempered springs — so what is the actual difference between them?
Both the Heaven and the Divina use Schramm’s thermal furnace-tempered pocket springs — the worldwide unique technology that gives all premium Schramm mattresses their permanent elasticity and fatigue resistance. At the spring level, the quality commitment is consistent.
The differences lie in the spring coil count, padding materials, and surface luxury. The Divina uses 9-coil springs — more coils per spring means finer movement dynamics and more nuanced responsiveness. The Heaven uses 6-coil springs — excellent quality, providing the same permanently elastic, wear-resistant support, but with slightly less fine-grained movement differentiation.
More significantly, the padding differs. The Divina uses linen, silk, pure new virgin wool, lyocell, and Talalay latex — an extraordinary multi-layer natural fibre system. The Heaven uses Plein Air virgin wool and high-resilience cold foam — high quality, but a simpler and less layered material combination.
The Heaven also includes Schramm’s patented shoulder zone — an ergonomic feature not present in all Divina configurations — making it particularly well suited to side sleepers. For those entering the Schramm range, the Heaven delivers the furnace-tempered spring system that defines Schramm quality at a more accessible investment level.
Q: What is the patented Schramm shoulder zone and who specifically benefits from it?
Schramm’s patented shoulder zone is a section of the spring core in which specially calibrated springs with reduced tension are used alongside a highly elastic cotton fabric — creating a section of the mattress that provides softer, more yielding support specifically in the shoulder area.
The ergonomic rationale is straightforward: when sleeping on your side, the shoulder is the body’s widest contact point with the mattress. A uniform spring tension system applies the same resistance to the shoulder as to lighter body parts — creating upward pressure on the shoulder joint that can restrict blood circulation, cause discomfort, and force frequent repositioning during the night.
The shoulder zone addresses this directly. The reduced-tension springs in that section allow the shoulder to sink slightly more deeply into the surface — relieving joint pressure and allowing the arm and shoulder muscles to relax fully. The rest of the body remains correctly supported by the main spring zones.
Side sleepers benefit most directly and most noticeably. Combination sleepers who regularly sleep on their side also gain significant benefit. Back sleepers with shoulder issues or those who are trying to protect recovering shoulder injuries may also find the shoulder zone beneficial.

Q: What is HR cold foam and why is it used alongside natural wool rather than a purely natural filling?
HR cold foam — high-resilience foam — is a specific grade of polyether foam that belongs to the highest quality tier in technical foam production. Its defining characteristic is its high elasticity and rapid recovery after compression — it springs back immediately and fully when pressure is removed, rather than recovering slowly like standard foam.
In the context of the Heaven’s padding, HR cold foam is not a synthetic substitute for natural materials — it plays a specific structural role that natural fibres alone do not cover as effectively. Natural fibres like Plein Air wool excel at moisture management, temperature regulation, and surface comfort. HR cold foam excels at providing consistent, pressure-adaptive support throughout the padding depth — responding to body movement immediately and maintaining even surface distribution over years of use.
The combination of Plein Air wool and HR cold foam creates a padding system where each material performs its optimal function: the wool manages the sleeping microclimate at the surface level, and the HR foam provides the adaptive, resilient support layer beneath. This is more effective than using either material alone for the full padding depth.
Q: How does the Heaven compare to the Emotion Luxe — which should I choose?
The Heaven and the Emotion Luxe represent two different positions within the Schramm range, and the right choice depends primarily on what you value most.
The most significant technical difference is the spring system. The Heaven uses thermal furnace-tempered springs — Schramm’s worldwide unique technology, the same system used in the Divina, producing springs that are permanently elastic and not subject to wear. The Emotion Luxe uses electrically tempered springs — an excellent quality spring, but produced through a different process that does not achieve the same depth of molecular restructuring. Both are meaningfully superior to standard untreated springs, but the furnace-tempered springs of the Heaven represent a higher level of spring engineering.
The Emotion Luxe uses more prestigious surface padding — cashmere, silk, and Plein Air wool — which delivers exceptional sensory luxury and surface refinement. The Heaven uses Plein Air wool and HR cold foam — strong natural quality at the surface, but without the cashmere and silk of the Emotion Luxe.
The Heaven also includes the patented shoulder zone — a dedicated ergonomic feature that the Emotion Luxe does not include in the same way, making it particularly well suited to side sleepers.
If you prioritise the finest possible surface feel and cashmere-level softness, the Emotion Luxe has the advantage. If you prioritise the best possible spring system — the furnace-tempered technology that defines Schramm at its highest — and particularly if you sleep on your side, the Heaven is the stronger choice.
Q: The Schramm Heaven is one of the most expensive mattresses available — what justifies the price?
The Heaven’s price reflects the same core Schramm quality commitments that run through the entire manufactory range — and each one represents a genuine cost of production that standard mattress manufacturers do not bear.
Thermal furnace-tempered springs — the worldwide unique technology — require a specific, labour-intensive production process that no automated manufacturing at scale can replicate. Approximately 500 springs are individually hand-sewn into cotton pockets for each mattress. The 5-zone spring differentiation and patented shoulder zone require individual mattress specification and cannot be standardised across a product line.
The Plein Air virgin wool padding — from French free-range sheep living permanently outdoors without chemical treatment — is a premium natural material with a specific environmental and quality standard that commodity wool does not meet. HR cold foam at Schramm’s quality specification is a different material than the standard foam in mass-market mattresses.
The handcrafted tacking construction without any adhesives requires skilled artisanal labour at every stage — preserving the natural properties of every material and ensuring the dimensional stability and breathability that Schramm’s sleeping climate standards demand.
Schramm has been building mattresses entirely by hand in Germany since 1923 — a century of accumulated craft expertise that is embedded in the production standards, material relationships, and quality controls of every mattress that leaves the Winnweiler manufactory. For a product that is in contact with your body for a third of every day, that quality investment has a direct and lasting impact on your sleep and your health.
