Support Research & Public Health

Scientific progress begins with independent research. At THMS® International e. V., we are dedicated to improving public health by advancing scientific knowledge in the field of textile hygiene and infection prevention.

Every donation, sponsorship, and partnership helps us conduct research that benefits society. Your support enables us to investigate biological contamination in mattresses, pillows, and other textiles, develop evidence-based hygiene standards, and translate scientific findings into practical solutions.

Your support helps us to:

• Fund independent scientific research projects

• Conduct pilot studies in hospitals, hotels, nursing homes, and other public facilities

• Collaborate with universities, laboratories, and research institutions

• Develop innovative inspection and documentation technologies

• Publish research findings for the benefit of science and public health

• Promote public awareness of textile hygiene and infection prevention

• Train future THMS® inspectors and research partners

• Expand international research cooperation

Why it matters

Millions of people sleep every day on textiles whose biological contamination is largely unknown. Scientific evidence in this field remains limited, despite its potential impact on allergies, infections, and public health.

By supporting THMS®, you contribute to independent research that helps create healthier indoor environments, improves hygiene standards, and strengthens preventive healthcare.
