About Zeit fürs Bett
Betten Raab GmbH operates under the Zeit fürs Bett brand a bedding specialty store in Karben in the Wetterau region as well as the original Betten Raab store in Frankfurt am Main. The family-run business, led by Eva and Andreas Bovet, offers beds, mattresses, slatted frames, pillows and bedding from renowned manufacturers as well as individual sleep consultation with a reclining simulator and sleep analysis. In its own manufactory in Karben, down duvets and feather pillows are handmade – also in special sizes and with custom fill quantities of duck and goose down, feathers, natural hair such as camel hair and cashmere, as well as functional fibers. The offering is complemented by professional chemical-free feather and down cleaning, the repair, adjustment and customization of bedding, sleep coaching, workshops and an online shop. Sustainability shapes the concept: CO2-neutral electricity, short delivery routes, and the take-back and rehoming of used bedding. The company originated from an upholstery furniture and down manufactory founded by Gustav Raab in Frankfurt-Eschersheim around 1940.
