Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Matratzenversandeinheit mit einer Matratze und einem Versandsack.The invention relates to a mattress dispatch unit with a mattress and a dispatch bag.

Mit zunehmender Durchsetzung des Onlineversandhandels werden immer mehr Güter im Internet bestellt und an den Kunden versandt. Auch Matratzen können im Internet bestellt werden und werden dann mit Zustelldiensten zum Kunden versandt.With the increasing penetration of online mail order, more and more goods are ordered on the Internet and sent to customers. Mattresses can also be ordered on the Internet and are then sent to the customer with delivery services.

Um das Volumen der Sendung möglichst gering zu halten, sind Matratzenversandeinheiten bekannt, die eine Hülle aufweisen, in der eine Matratze in einem komprimierten Versandzustand eingefasst ist. Um die Kräfte aufbringen zu können, die dazu notwendig sind, die Matratze in ihrem komprimierten Versandzustand zu halten, wird üblicherweise eine reißstarke Folie als Hülle verwendet.In order to keep the volume of the shipment as low as possible, mattress shipping units are known which have a cover in which a mattress is enclosed in a compressed shipping state. In order to be able to apply the forces that are necessary to keep the mattress in its compressed shipping state, a strong film is usually used as a cover.

Solche Folien genügen jedoch nicht mehr den vom Verbraucher erwarteten Umwelt- und Gesundheitsstandards.However, such films no longer meet the environmental and health standards expected by consumers.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Matratzenversandeinheit bereitzustellen, die umweltfreundlicher ist und zu keinen gesundheitsbedenklichen Belastungen führt.It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a mattress shipping unit which is more environmentally friendly and does not lead to any health-endangering loads.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Matratzenversandeinheit mit einer Matratze und einem Versandsack, wobei sich die Matratze in einem komprimierten Versandzustand befindet und im Versandsack vollständig aufgenommen ist. Der Versandsack weist eine Hülle auf, die überwiegend aus einem luftdurchlässigen Material hergestellt ist.The object is achieved by a mattress dispatch unit with a mattress and a dispatch bag, the mattress being in a compressed dispatch state and being completely received in the dispatch bag. The shipping bag has a cover which is predominantly made of an air-permeable material.

Durch die überwiegende Luftdurchlässigkeit des Materials des Versandsacks wird sichergestellt, dass flüchtige Verbindungen, insbesondere flüchtige organische Verbindungen, die während des Versands aus der Matratze austreten, an die Umgebung abgegeben werden und sich nicht innerhalb des Versandsacks sammeln. Insbesondere ist also ein Luftaustausch zwischen der Matratze und der Umgebung des Versandsacks stets gegeben. Dadurch entstehen beim Öffnen der Versandeinheit nur extrem geringe Belastungen durch flüchtige Verbindungen, insbesondere flüchtige organische Verbindungen, wie sie etwa bei der Verwendung von Hüllen aus Folie auftreten konnten.The predominant air permeability of the material of the mailing bag ensures that volatile compounds, in particular volatile organic compounds that escape from the mattress during shipping, are released into the environment and do not collect inside the mailing bag. In particular, there is an exchange of air between the mattress and the The environment of the mailing bag is always given. As a result, when the shipping unit is opened, there is only extremely low exposure to volatile compounds, in particular volatile organic compounds, such as those that could occur when using covers made of foil.

Zudem ist die Hülle aus luftdurchlässigem Material umweltfreundlicher als eine Hülle aus Folie.In addition, the cover made of air-permeable material is more environmentally friendly than a cover made of foil.

Im Gegensatz zu einzelnen Luftlöchern gewährleistet die luftdurchlässige Hülle gleichzeitig einen zuverlässigen Schutz vor Verschmutzungen oder Beschädigungen der Matratze.In contrast to individual air holes, the air-permeable cover simultaneously guarantees reliable protection against soiling or damage to the mattress.

Zum Beispiel ist der Versandsack, insbesondere die Hülle, bis auf eine Öffnung zum Einführen der Matratze vollständig geschlossen.For example, the shipping bag, in particular the cover, is completely closed apart from an opening for inserting the mattress.

Die Öffnung kann an der dem Boden entgegengesetzten Ende vorgesehen sein.The opening can be provided at the end opposite the bottom.

Der Versandsack kann zylindrisch, insbesondere kreiszylindrisch sein.The shipping bag can be cylindrical, in particular circular cylindrical.

Vorzugsweise ist die Matratze im komprimierten Versandzustand eingerollt und/oder gefaltet, um das Volumen der Matratze effektiv zu verringern.In the compressed shipping state, the mattress is preferably rolled up and / or folded in order to effectively reduce the volume of the mattress.

Der komprimierte Versandzustand zeichnet sich beispielsweise dadurch aus, dass das Volumen der Matratze um mindestens 20% ihres unkomprimierten Volumens verringert ist.The compressed shipping state is characterized, for example, by the fact that the volume of the mattress is reduced by at least 20% of its uncompressed volume.

Bei der Matratze handelt es sich insbesondere um eine europäische Matratze, also nicht um z.B. einen japanischen Futon.The mattress is in particular a European mattress, i.e. not a Japanese futon, for example.

Beispielsweise ist der Versandsack derart ausgebildet, insbesondere durch eine Sollbruchstelle im Versandsack, dass er nur einmal für den Versand der Matratze verwendet werden kann. Er ist also zur nur einmaligen Verwendung zum Versand der Matratze vorgesehen.For example, the shipping bag is designed in such a way, in particular through a predetermined breaking point in the shipping bag, that it can only be used once for shipping the mattress. It is therefore intended to be used only once for shipping the mattress.

Insbesondere ist der Versandsack so klein ausgebildet, dass die Matratze vom Kunden nicht zurück in den Versandzustand überführt werden kann.In particular, the shipping bag is so small that the mattress cannot be returned to the shipping state by the customer.

Um die Abfuhr von flüchtigen Verbindungen in die Umgebung weiter zu verbessern, kann die Hülle vollständig aus dem luftdurchlässigen Material hergestellt sein.In order to further improve the discharge of volatile compounds into the environment, the casing can be made entirely of the air-permeable material.

In einer Ausführungsvariante ist das luftdurchlässige Material ein Textil, insbesondere ein nicht-gewebtes Textil, wodurch ein flexibler und einfach zu lagernder Versandsack bereitgestellt wird. Zum Beispiel ist das nicht-gewebte Textil ein Vliesstoff.In one embodiment, the air-permeable material is a textile, in particular a non-woven textile, whereby a flexible and easy-to-store shipping bag is provided. For example, the non-woven fabric is a non-woven fabric.

In einer Ausführungsform ist das luftdurchlässige Material Polypropylen, wodurch der Versandsack kostengünstig herzustellen ist.In one embodiment, the air-permeable material is polypropylene, as a result of which the shipping bag is inexpensive to manufacture.

Um einen stabilen und einfachen Versandsack bereitzustellen, kann die Hülle einen Boden und wenigstens eine Umfangswand aufweisen. Der Boden kann zumindest teilweise, insbesondere vollständig aus dem luftdurchlässigen Material hergestellt sein. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann die wenigstens eine Umfangswand zumindest teilweise, insbesondere vollständig aus dem luftdurchlässigen Material hergestellt sein.In order to provide a stable and simple shipping bag, the envelope can have a base and at least one peripheral wall. The bottom can be made at least partially, in particular completely, from the air-permeable material. Alternatively or additionally, the at least one circumferential wall can be made at least partially, in particular completely, from the air-permeable material.

Die Umfangswand erstreckt sich insbesondere vollständig um den Umfang des Versandsacks bzw. bildet den Umfang des Versandsacks.The circumferential wall extends in particular completely around the circumference of the mailing bag or forms the circumference of the mailing bag.

In einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist der Versandsack einen Verschluss, insbesondere einen Kordelzug auf, mittels dem die Öffnung des Versandsacks zum Einführen der Matratze verschlossen werden kann. Dadurch können Verschmutzungen und Beschädigungen der Matratze während des Versands vermieden werden.In one embodiment of the invention, the shipping bag has a closure, in particular a drawstring, by means of which the opening of the shipping bag can be closed for inserting the mattress. This prevents soiling and damage to the mattress during shipping.

Für einen besonders effektiven Versand, insbesondere mit regulären Versanddienstleistern, kann der Versandsack einen Durchmesser von weniger oder gleich 50 cm, insbesondere weniger oder gleich 40 cm haben und/oder eine Länge von weniger als 150 cm, insbesondere weniger oder gleich 135 cm haben.For particularly effective shipping, especially with regular shipping service providers, the shipping bag can have a diameter of less than or equal to 50 cm, in particular less or equal to 40 cm and / or a length of less than 150 cm, in particular less than or equal to 135 cm.

In einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Stärke bzw. Dicke der Hülle derart gewählt, dass die Hülle die Matratze im komprimierten Versandzustand hält, wodurch auf zusätzliche stabilisierende Elemente, wie Spannriemen, verzichtet werden kann.In one embodiment of the invention, the strength or thickness of the cover is selected such that the cover holds the mattress in the compressed shipping state, which means that additional stabilizing elements, such as tension straps, can be dispensed with.

Die Stärke der Hülle beträgt zum Beispiel mindestens 70 g/m2, insbesondere 75 g/m2.The thickness of the casing is, for example, at least 70 g / m 2 , in particular 75 g / m 2 .

Beispielsweise erzeugt die Matratze in ihrem komprimierten Versandzustand eine vorbekannte Expansionskraft und der Versandsack, insbesondere die Hülle, ist derart ausgebildet, dass er eine der Expansionskraft entgegengerichtete Gegenkraft ausübt. Dadurch ist sichergestellt, dass der Versandsack nicht durch die Matratze beschädigt wird.For example, in its compressed shipping state, the mattress generates a previously known expansion force and the shipping bag, in particular the cover, is designed in such a way that it exerts a counterforce that is directed against the expansion force. This ensures that the shipping bag is not damaged by the mattress.

In einer Ausführungsvariante kann die Hülle eine Sollbruchstelle, insbesondere eine Sollbruchlinie aufweisen, insbesondere wobei die Sollbruchstelle in axialer Richtung entlang der Hülle verläuft. Durch die Sollbruchstelle wird die Entnahme der Matratze aus dem Versandsack vereinfacht.In one embodiment variant, the sleeve can have a predetermined breaking point, in particular a predetermined breaking line, in particular wherein the predetermined breaking point runs in the axial direction along the sleeve. The predetermined breaking point simplifies the removal of the mattress from the shipping bag.

Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung sowie aus den beigefügten Zeichnungen, auf die Bezug genommen wird. In den Zeichnungen zeigen:

  • Figur 1 eine erfindungsgemäße Matratzenversandeinheit im ungepackten Zustand, und
  • Figur 2 die erfindungsgemäße Matratzenversandeinheit gemäß Figur 1 im gepackten Zustand.
Further features and advantages of the invention emerge from the following description and from the accompanying drawings, to which reference is made. In the drawings show:
  • Figure 1 a mattress dispatch unit according to the invention in the unpacked state, and
  • Figure 2 the mattress dispatch unit according to the invention according to Figure 1 in packed condition.

Aufzählungen mehrerer Komponenten mit "und/oder", zum Beispiel "a, b und/oder c" sind im Rahmen dieser Erfindung als eine Offenbarung einer beliebigen Kombination der Komponenten zu verstehen, das heißt als "a und/oder b und/oder c".Lists of several components with “and / or”, for example “a, b and / or c” are to be understood in the context of this invention as a disclosure of any combination of the components, that is to say as “a and / or b and / or c ".

In Figur 1 ist äußerst schematisch eine Matratzenversandeinheit 10 aus einer Matratze 12 und einem Versandsack 14 dargestellt.In Figure 1 a mattress dispatch unit 10 composed of a mattress 12 and a dispatch bag 14 is shown extremely schematically.

Die Matratze 12 und der Versandsack 14 sind in verschiedenen Maßstäben dargestellt, um Details des Versandsacks 14 sichtbar zu machen. In Wirklichkeit ist der Versandsack 14 deutlich kleiner als die Matratze 12.The mattress 12 and the shipping bag 14 are shown on different scales in order to make details of the shipping bag 14 visible. In reality, the shipping bag 14 is significantly smaller than the mattress 12.

Die Matratze 12 ist in Figur 1 im Gebrauchszustand, das heißt in einem unkomprimierten Zustand dargestellt.The mattress 12 is in Figure 1 in the state of use, that is, shown in an uncompressed state.

Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel weist die Matratze 12 eine Länge LM von 200 cm und eine Breite BM von 90 cm auf.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the mattress 12 has a length L M of 200 cm and a width B M of 90 cm.

Die Matratze 12 ist aus einem kompressiblen Schaumstoff hergestellt.The mattress 12 is made from a compressible foam.

Denkbar ist jedoch auch, dass andere Materialien zur Herstellung der Matratze 12 verwendet werden.However, it is also conceivable that other materials are used to produce the mattress 12.

Die Matratze 12 ist insbesondere eine europäische Matratze, also eine Matratze europäischen bzw. westlichen Typs und zum Beispiel kein japanischer Futon.The mattress 12 is in particular a European mattress, that is to say a mattress of a European or western type and, for example, not a Japanese futon.

Der Versandsack 14 ist im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel zylindrisch, hier kreiszylindrisch, und weist eine Hülle 16 auf.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the shipping bag 14 is cylindrical, here circular cylindrical, and has a shell 16.

Die Hülle 16 hat einen Boden 18, der hier kreisförmig ist, und eine Umfangswand 20, die sich vom Boden 18 aus erstreckt.The shell 16 has a base 18, which is circular here, and a peripheral wall 20 which extends from the base 18.

Die Hülle 16 und damit der Boden 18 und die Umfangswand 20 sind im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel vollständig aus einem luftdurchlässigen Material 21.The shell 16 and thus the base 18 and the peripheral wall 20 are made entirely of an air-permeable material 21 in the exemplary embodiment shown.

Denkbar ist selbstverständlich auch, dass nur Teile der Hülle 16, also nur Teile des Bodens 18 und/oder Teile der Umfangswand 20 aus dem luftdurchlässigen Material 21 sind. In gesamter Betrachtung ist die Hülle 16 jedoch überwiegend aus dem luftdurchlässigen Material 21.It is of course also conceivable that only parts of the shell 16, that is to say only parts of the base 18 and / or parts of the peripheral wall 20, are made of the air-permeable material 21. Overall, however, the envelope 16 is predominantly made of the air-permeable material 21.

Das luftdurchlässige Material 21 ist ein nicht-gewebtes Textil, beispielsweise ein Vliesstoff.The air-permeable material 21 is a non-woven textile, for example a non-woven fabric.

Zum Beispiel wird Polypropylen als luftdurchlässiges Material 21 verwendet.For example, polypropylene is used as the air-permeable material 21.

Die Umfangswand 20, insbesondere die gesamte Hülle 16 haben eine Stärke von 75 g/m2.The circumferential wall 20, in particular the entire casing 16, have a thickness of 75 g / m 2 .

Der Boden 18 und damit der Versandsack 14 hat im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel einen Durchmesser von weniger oder gleich 50 cm, insbesondere weniger oder gleich 40 cm. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Durchmesser Ds 40 cm.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the base 18 and thus the shipping bag 14 has a diameter of less than or equal to 50 cm, in particular less than or equal to 40 cm. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the diameter Ds is 40 cm.

Die Umfangswand 20 erstreckt sich vom Boden 18 aus. Die Umfangswand 20 ist am Boden 18 befestigt, beispielsweise vernäht. Dabei kann die Naht über den gesamten Umfang des Bodens 18 verlaufen oder nur Teile davon abdecken.The peripheral wall 20 extends from the bottom 18. The peripheral wall 20 is attached to the floor 18, for example sewn. The seam can run over the entire circumference of the base 18 or cover only parts of it.

Die Umfangswand 20 erstreckt sich entlang des gesamten Umfangs des Bodens 18 und somit auch über den gesamten Umfang des Versandsacks, bzw. bildet den Umfang des Versandsacks 14.The circumferential wall 20 extends along the entire circumference of the base 18 and thus also over the entire circumference of the shipping bag or forms the circumference of the shipping bag 14.

Die Umfangswand 20 und damit der Versandsack 14 hat in ausgebreitetem Zustand eine Länge LS von weniger als 150 cm, insbesondere weniger oder gleich 135 cm.The circumferential wall 20 and thus the shipping bag 14 in the expanded state has a length L S of less than 150 cm, in particular less than or equal to 135 cm.

Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel hat die Umfangswand 20 und somit der Versandsack 14 eine Länge Ls von 135 cm.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the circumferential wall 20 and thus the shipping bag 14 has a length Ls of 135 cm.

Denkbar ist jedoch auch, dass die Länge Ls des Versandsacks 14 maximal 50 %, insbesondere maximal 25 % größer ist als die Breite BM der Matratze 12.However, it is also conceivable that the length Ls of the shipping bag 14 is a maximum of 50%, in particular a maximum of 25% greater than the width B M of the mattress 12.

Am vom Boden 18 abgewandten Ende der Umfangswand 20 ist kein weiterer Boden vorgesehen, sondern der Versandsack 14 weist dort eine Öffnung 22 auf.At the end of the circumferential wall 20 facing away from the base 18, no further base is provided, but the shipping bag 14 has an opening 22 there.

Die Öffnung 22 dient dem Einführen und/oder Entnehmen der Matratze 12 aus dem Versandsack 14.The opening 22 is used to insert and / or remove the mattress 12 from the shipping bag 14.

An der Umfangswand 20 kann im Bereich der Öffnung 22 ein Verschluss vorgesehen sein, um die Öffnung 22 zu verschließen.A closure can be provided on the peripheral wall 20 in the region of the opening 22 in order to close the opening 22.

Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist dies ein Kordelzug 26, der in einem Saum 28 der Umfangswand 20 verläuft.In the exemplary embodiment shown, this is a drawstring 26 which runs in a seam 28 of the peripheral wall 20.

Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel weist die Hülle 16, hier die Umfangswand 20, eine Sollbruchstelle 30 auf.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the casing 16, here the peripheral wall 20, has a predetermined breaking point 30.

Die Sollbruchstelle 30 erstreckt sich im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel als Sollbruchlinie von der Öffnung 22 in Richtung zum Boden 18 hin.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the predetermined breaking point 30 extends as a predetermined breaking line from the opening 22 in the direction of the base 18.

Die Sollbruchstelle 30 ist beispielsweise ein Abschnitt dünnerer Stärke der Hülle 16 oder ein Schnitt in der Hülle 16, der durch eine Reißnaht verschlossen ist.The predetermined breaking point 30 is, for example, a section of thinner thickness of the sheath 16 or a cut in the sheath 16 which is closed by a tear seam.

In Figur 2 ist der gepackte Zustand der Matratzenversandeinheit 10 dargestellt, der dem Versandzustand entspricht.In Figure 2 the packed state of the mattress shipping unit 10 is shown, which corresponds to the shipping state.

Die Matratze 12 ist in einem komprimierten Versandzustand, in dem die Matratze 12 einen Bruchteil ihres Volumens aufweist. Beispielsweise weist die Matratze 12 im komprimierten Versandzustand nur höchstens 80% ihres unkomprimierten Volumens, also dem Volumen im unkomprimierten Zustand, auf. Das Volumen der Matratze 12 kann also im komprimierten Versandzustand um wenigstens 20 % ihres unkomprimierten Volumens verringert sein.The mattress 12 is in a compressed shipping condition in which the mattress 12 is a fraction of its volume. For example, the mattress 12 in the compressed shipping state only has a maximum of 80% of its uncompressed volume, that is to say the volume in the uncompressed state. The volume of the mattress 12 can therefore be reduced by at least 20% of its uncompressed volume in the compressed shipping state.

Im komprimierten Versandzustand ist die Matratze 12 eingerollt und/oder gefaltet.In the compressed shipping state, the mattress 12 is rolled up and / or folded.

Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Matratze 12 lediglich eingerollt. Größere Matratzen werden jedoch vor dem Rollen beispielsweise einmal oder mehrfach gefaltet.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the mattress 12 is merely rolled up. However, larger mattresses are folded, for example, once or several times before rolling.

Denkbar ist jedoch auch, dass die Matratze nur gefaltet ist.However, it is also conceivable that the mattress is only folded.

Die komprimierte Matratze 12, das heißt die Matratze 12 im komprimierten Versandzustand, ist vollständig im Versandsack 14 aufgenommen.The compressed mattress 12, that is to say the mattress 12 in the compressed shipping state, is completely received in the shipping bag 14.

Der Durchmesser DK der Matratze 12 im komprimierten Versandzustand ist kleiner oder gleich dem Durchmesser DS des Versandsacks 14.The diameter D K of the mattress 12 in the compressed shipping state is less than or equal to the diameter D S of the shipping bag 14.

Die Länge LK der Matratze 12 entspricht im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel der Breite BM der unkomprimierten Matratze, das heißt hier 90 cm.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the length L K of the mattress 12 corresponds to the width B M of the uncompressed mattress, that is to say here 90 cm.

Im komprimierten Versandzustand, also auch innerhalb des Versandsacks 14, erzeugt die Matratze 12 eine Expansionskraft FE radial nach außen.In the compressed shipping state, that is to say also within the shipping bag 14, the mattress 12 generates an expansion force F E radially outward.

Diese Expansionskraft ist vorbekannt, da sie vom Grad der Kompression der Matratze 12 abhängt.This expansion force is previously known since it depends on the degree of compression of the mattress 12.

Die Hülle 16, insbesondere die Umfangswand 20 übt eine der Expansionskraft FE entgegengerichtete Gegenkraft FG aus, die die Matratze 12 in ihrem komprimierten Versandzustand hält.The shell 16, in particular the circumferential wall 20, exerts a counterforce F G which is opposite to the expansion force F E and which holds the mattress 12 in its compressed shipping state.

Damit die Hülle 16, insbesondere die Umfangswand 20 die Gegenkraft FG aufbringen kann, ist die Dicke bzw. die Stärke der Hülle 16 entsprechend gewählt. Die Dicke bzw. die Stärke der Hülle 16, insbesondere von der Umfangswand 20, hängt selbstverständlich auch von den Materialeigenschaften des luftdurchlässigen Materials 21 ab.So that the shell 16, in particular the circumferential wall 20, can apply the counterforce F G , the thickness or the strength of the shell 16 is selected accordingly. The thickness or the strength of the envelope 16, in particular of the peripheral wall 20, of course also depends on the material properties of the air-permeable material 21.

Der Versandsack 14 ist durch den Verschluss 24, also hier den Kordelzug 26, verschlossen, um Beschädigungen oder Verschmutzungen der Matratze 12 zu vermeiden.The shipping bag 14 is closed by the closure 24, that is to say here the drawstring 26, in order to avoid damage to or soiling of the mattress 12.

Die Matratze 12 ist im Versandsack 14 somit sicher und mit geringem Volumen für den Versand verstaut. Gleichzeitig erlaubt die Luftdurchlässigkeit des Versandsacks 14 stets einen Luftaustausch zwischen der Matratze 12 und der Umgebung des Versandsacks 14, sodass flüchtige organische Verbindungen, die in der Matratze 12 aufgrund der Herstellung vorhanden sind, schon während des Versands an die Umgebung abgegeben werden, wodurch die Belastung durch solche flüchtigen organischen Verbindungen beim Entpacken sehr niedrig ausfällt.The mattress 12 is thus stowed safely and with a small volume in the shipping bag 14 for shipping. At the same time, the air permeability of the shipping bag 14 always allows an exchange of air between the mattress 12 and the environment of the shipping bag 14, so that volatile organic compounds that are present in the mattress 12 due to the production are released to the environment during shipping, which causes the load due to such volatile organic compounds it turns out to be very low when unpacking.

Zudem ist ein Versandsack 14 aus einem luftdurchlässigen Material 21 im Gegensatz zu einer Folie umweltfreundlicher herzustellen.In addition, a shipping bag 14 is more environmentally friendly to produce from an air-permeable material 21 in contrast to a film.

Zum Entnehmen der Matratze 12 aus dem Versandsack 14 kann der Versandsack 14 mithilfe der Sollbruchstelle 30 einfach geöffnet werden. Dadurch wird zwar der Versandsack 14 zerstört, jedoch kann ein Endkunde die Matratze 12 nicht selbstständig wieder in ihren komprimierten Versandzustand überführen, sodass der Versandsack 14 vom Kunden ohnehin nicht wiederverwendbar ist.To remove the mattress 12 from the shipping bag 14, the shipping bag 14 can simply be opened with the aid of the predetermined breaking point 30. Although this destroys the shipping bag 14, an end customer cannot return the mattress 12 to its compressed shipping state on his own, so that the shipping bag 14 cannot be reused by the customer in any case.

Obwohl lediglich ein kreiszylindrischer Versandsack 14 als Ausführungsbeispiel beschrieben wurde, sind selbstverständlich auch andere Geometrien des Versandsacks 14 mit entsprechender Komprimierung der Matratze 12 denkbar. Beispielsweise kann ein quaderförmiger Versandsack 14 eine Matratze 12 aufnehmen, die im komprimierten Versandzustand lediglich gefaltet ist.Although only a circular-cylindrical shipping bag 14 has been described as an exemplary embodiment, other geometries of the shipping bag 14 with corresponding compression of the mattress 12 are of course also conceivable. For example, a cuboid shipping bag 14 can accommodate a mattress 12 that is merely folded in the compressed shipping state.
