The samples shown illustrate typical levels of contamination found in sleep systems, as documented during practical investigations. They reveal the presence of dust, allergenic particles, and microbiological residues.
All samples shown are based on standardized 30-second vacuum samples taken from mattresses and textile surfaces.
Significance for health prevention
These findings demonstrate that sleep systems appearing clean on the surface can harbor significant levels of hygienic contamination.
Since mattresses and pillows are not washed regularly, biological residues can accumulate over time—substances that may pose health risks, particularly for sensitive individuals.
Preventive approach
The THMS® system aims to systematically assess these often-overlooked hygienic aspects and reduce them through appropriate measures.
The focus lies on:
examining sleep systems
documenting contamination levels
developing preventive hygiene concepts
