I Would like to ask the forum. Which hotel chain has the most comfortable beds after a long day of travelling.( any bed is good) Taking in account softness,hardness,linen quality and pillows. I'm In favour of the marriot chain. I think this depends more on individual locations than an entire chain. Each chain can have good franchises and bad franchises. I remember staying at several Marriotts and they had a sign in the room that said "Do not take the mattress with you. We will be happy to have a new one shipped to your home - Shipping depends on the location" They were very good beds. We like the beds at Hampton inn. Some Choice hotels have nice pillow tops. Depends on the hotel though. Marriott Beds have been comfortable I cannot tell you for sure which hotel type has the best beds or most comfortable ones, but I do like theese. I actually like the Hilton Garden Inn that has some kind of adjustable firmness on their beds. I am not totally sure the dial actually does any good but it makes me feel like I am in control, lol.
On a recent Road Trip I would not rate the Marriott we stayed in as having good beds so I am with PeachBelle in that it also depends on the location. This particular Marriott was a well used location. I've found the Hilton Family of hotels to have excellent mattresses and bed comfort. As Tom Bodett says, once you close your eyes, all hotels rooms, and presumably the beds, look and feel the same. Any chain will be good. We almost never had bad beds on our travels. Based purely on our own experiences of travelling around the USA, I don't think it's any specific brand or chain that has the best beds, so much as how new that particular property is or how recently the rooms including beds and mattresses were refurbed and renewed. Thus we stayed in basic motels and found really good beds because the place had only been opened for 6 weeks and we have paid over $250 in a well regarded brand and found the beds disappointingly lousy. However, on average, most beds recently have been at worst tolerable, and overall perfectly comfortable, not too hard or soft, and not saggy in the middle.
TripAdvisor reviews can often have good clues to how recent the rooms were done up on older properties. If, as a separate issue, you're fussy about pillows, then certain brands have 'pillow' menus, so you can get harder or softer ones from somewhere, or the beds are made up with about 6 pillows of different densities and levels of firmness. As a light sleeper, being able to get a comfortable temp for sleeping from an individually controllable and variable air conditioner, a lack of noise from the road and other external sources , or from neighbouring rooms, elevators, and internal geography, etc plus drapes that really do block out all light, including at edges and in the middle impact my ability to sleep in strange beds just as much. Edited: 8:31 am, August 06, 2015 I haven't stayed in a Hampton,I'll look out for one. I Like the one about the sign,don't take our mattress. There is a lot of veritables.I think the pillows play a lot in the experience. You may have a lovely bed but if the pillow doesn't suit your taste it can spoil your stay.
I like a thin firm pillow and a lot of hotels have high soft pillows. So many time I've got a towel from the bathroom and used it as a pillow ,best western is a classic for that but the beds are quite good for the price. I still like the marriot ,especially the one at LAX after the long haul flight from Australia. Tets comment, "Any chain will be good" is the best comment on this subject. The chains have a reputation to uphold and regional/district managers and the single owner or Mom & Pop properties can be very good or completely indifferent, particularly if they are in a high traffic area as there is almost always someone next in line!.

Explore our bed rangeBack pain is one of the most common reasons why people visit the doctor. The good news is that the pain often goes away on its own, and people usually recover in a week or two. Many people want to stay in bed when their back hurts. For many years, getting bed rest was the normal advice. But current studies recommend no bed rest at all and stress that staying in bed longer than 48 hours not only won’t help but it may, in fact, actually delay your recovery.
If you’re in terrible pain, lying down for a day to help ease the distress may seem like a good idea, but moderating your activities and staying active in a limited way is a more effective way to control your symptoms. Research suggests that if you can find comfortable positions and keep moving, you may not need bed rest at all. Staying in bed for any prolonged period can make you stiff and increase pain. When you don’t move and bend, you lose muscle strength and flexibility. With bed rest, you lose about 1 percent of your muscle strength each day. And you can lose 20 to 30 percent in a week. It becomes more difficult to return to any activity. As you become weaker and stiffer your recovery takes longer.The only people who might require time in bed are those with unstable spinal fractures awaiting surgery. Hot or cold packs often help. Some people can get pain relief from non-prescription analgesics or anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve).
But no medication should be taken for an extended period of time. You should see your doctor right away if: If you have an attack of lower-back pain that is severe, continuous and not improving, assessment and treatment by a health care professional who focuses on the back or other musculoskeletal problems may help. These practitioners may use both active and passive techniques to help you feel better. Examples of passive techniques that may be used to get you moving include: An active approach, like walking or water aerobics is usually the most effective. Exercise is often the best way to relieve lower-back pain. Check with your doctor before starting an exercise program. Work with an expert. It may help to work with someone who can explain which activities are right for you—a medical professional such as a physiotherapist or chiropractor—or an exercise expert such as a kinesiologist, registered massage therapist, informed personal trainer, yoga instructor.
