indeed not life-sleep,
but certainly work-life
We are redefining sleep culture – in a young team that is allowed and able to take new paths. Because as an employer, schlafgut acts as agile as a start-up while offering the security and stability of a successful traditional company.
Rethinking – shaping the future
We aim to redefine sleep culture, continuously. In doing so, we see ourselves as a startup embedded within a long-standing, successful traditional company. Curiosity and innovation have been the recipe for success at schlafgut since its inception. This mindset is as much a part of our DNA as good sleep. As a young team of doers, with flat hierarchies and the backing of a large company, we want and can reshape things, making a real difference. With our unconventional ideas, we unlock potentials – at schlafgut, throughout the industry, and in each and every individual.
Generations to come—producing with purpose
In the textile industry, working while still standing up for one's own ideals regarding sustainability and justice isn't easy. Textile production consumes many resources and is often driven by significant price pressures, resulting in human and environmental exploitation. At schlafgut, we take a different approach. We produce fairly and ecologically sensibly, setting a positive example that influences the entire market. While others still use toxins in dyeing and finishing, we have banned them for years. The same applies to our early commitment to using only high-quality and fairly grown organic cotton, gradually eliminating plastic from our packaging. Our products are designed to let us all sleep well in every sense of the word.
"Simply healthy common sense instead of greenwashing"
Head of Business Development and great-grandson of the founder of schlafgut
We want to support people and give back to them.
We firmly stand behind our values and have been living them since our inception.
We are curious about the future and shape it with foresight.
Work-Life-Balance – we take it literally
We believe that work and life should not be opposites but rather exist in harmony with each other. At schlafgut, we ensure this by fostering a positive work environment, promoting camaraderie among our employees, and providing practical support. Additionally, we offer spatial and temporal flexibility. As an employer, we aim to truly embody the often-mentioned concept of work-life balance. Therefore, we provide options such as flextime, remote work, and home office opportunities. Depending on the role and circumstances, employees can adjust their start and end times flexibly and schedule days to work from home or while on the move.
We are Family
We are a family business, in the truest sense of the word. Our culture at schlafgut is based on respectful, friendly interaction, mutual recognition and appreciation. Our principle applies: People first.
The idea of diversity is therefore self-evident at schlafgut. Equal opportunity and freedom are core values that we stand for and live in every respect – whether in our production facilities in Turkey or at our headquarters in Göppingen. It is very important to us to create an atmosphere together in which everyone can develop their individual talents and is protected as best as possible.
From company pension plans to health management to employee discounts: At schlafgut, we offer our team everything to feel good and do good work. Others call these benefits, we call it normal.
We also actively promote and support joint activities of our employees – from excursions to workshops to after-work drinks.
Our schlafgut headquarters is located near Göppingen, a small but charming town in the foothills of the Swabian Alb on the Fils river. The Hohenstaufen is the 684-meter-high landmark, with the ancestral castle of the Staufer dynasty on its summit. Framed by three imperial mountains and untouched nature, the city center is anything but sleepy: From art and culture to sports and action to shopping, everything is possible here. It's good that the schlafgut work-life balance leaves enough time to enjoy all these offerings.
