Christian Sitzler laid the foundation in 1870 by founding a saddlery and upholstery business. His son Friedrich Sitzler first took over the business, before grandson Fritz Sitzler transformed the company in 1946, after the Second World War, into an interior furnishing business with, among other things, its own mattress production. In the 4th generation, Helga Sitzler-Liebhauser added fashion and devoted herself passionately to interior design.
In the 5th generation, Jens Liebhauser continues the spirit of craftsmanship by founding Cottonbabe. As a 5-star hotelier and interior designer – among other things a master upholsterer/interior decorator with a certified examination in textile science – he is chiefly responsible for the design of the Cottonbabe collection. Above all, a purist and timeless design shapes the signature of the entire product line.
As almost no high-quality cotton grows in Europe, our premium cotton comes from the Indian highlands. The long-staple, tear-resistant cotton is planted and tended locally and processed on site into high-quality products, saving long transport routes. As the world's largest cotton producer, India has built up enormous expertise in growing and processing cotton over recent decades.
Our trips to India
We have already been to the land of spices, colours and temples several times and have seen the conditions on site for ourselves.

Helga often answers the phone with “Sitzler Raumausstattung” – our family business since 1870. You have still reached Cottonbabe.

Our goal is to become a pioneer in home and hotel textiles in terms of quality and design. We want to be found in tens of thousands of bedrooms and hundreds of hotels and bring stylish sleep closer to people.
