The Talalay Process is Superior to Dunlop Where We Stand Against CompetitorsWhether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, getting good sleep is key to having enough energy to power through your days away from home. So book a hotel that has a room with a great bed waiting for you. These days, hotels know that quality slumber is important to travelers, so many of them have created luxury bedding for guests. These, below, are among the best and worth checking out!This chain was the first to create a signature bed in 1999, in partnership with the mattress manufacturer Simmons, and its quality has stood the test of time. It boasts a 13-inch pillow-top mattress that’s enveloped in 250-thread count sheets.
Two feather and down pillows and two hypo-allergenic pillows perch on top, along with a boudoir pillow, an overstuffed duvet, and a down blanket. If you fall in love with the beds, they are even available for purchase on the hotel’s ecommerce site.When you check in to this luxury hotel chain, you get to customize your bed. You can pick from three different mattress toppers—signature, the standard topper; plush, the extra soft option; or firm, the most supportive. What’s more, each version has a foam center that absorbs heat (to keep you cool as you sleep), as well as a coil system that helps minimize motion transfer when you’re snoozing with a partner.This chain, a sister to the Westin, has a hip, upscale reputation—and, like its sister hotels, some of the best beds on the road. (They’re nicknamed “The Do Not Disturb Mattresses.”) Rooms are furnished with the W Plush Top Mattress, a 13-inch thick luxury that encases over one thousand coils for ultimate comfort. For an added touch of luxe, many Ws add cashmere throws and downy pillows to the bed.
The W bed, as well as all of the bedding that’s found in its hotel rooms, can be purchased as well.The Hilton company partners with Serta to create a bed that gives you, as the chain calls it, “The Hilton Bed Goodnight.” The bed’s quilted, plush top may improve circulation and even reduce restlessness at night. Plus, it’s got plenty of coil support and reinforcement at the edges. If you’re taken with the Hilton Bed, you can bring one into your own bedroom by purchasing it on Hilton’s website.Called The Marriott Bed, this chain’s proprietary mattress is one-foot high from top to bottom (plus, there’s a nine-inch box spring underneath). Made of “high-density, open-cell poured polyurethane foam,” it helps minimize movement from your partner, so you can sleep the night through without disturbances. And, of course, you can bring it home with you by purchasing it on the company’s website.Many hotels in this chain boast select rooms with Sleep Number beds, which allow you to choose your own level of firmness.
Even better: Each side of the bed can be dialed in for different levels of softness, so you and your partner can each get an ideal night’s slumber without having to strike a compromise.This ultra-upscale retreat, part of the Marriott family, has equally plush beds: Their Ritz-Carlton Beds are made with special coil technology and foam that keeps you cool while you sleep, and they sit atop an environmentally-responsible, sturdy base. Finished with removable featherbed toppers, many beds boast 800-thread count cotton sheets. And don’t worry—you can bring the Ritz-Carton Bed experience home by purchasing the bed for your own bedroom.The six-figure mattress Turns out some people will pay $149,000 for a squishy sleep pad. When elite society want to lay their heads down for a lavish slumber, counting designer sheep and drifting into champagne dreams, only the best will suffice. These customers turn to a world of bespoke mattress luxury, and pay in the tens and hundreds of thousands.
We talked to the brands that service these high-end clients, and of course engaged in some horizontal quality control testing ourselves... The typical spring mattress varies in price depending on material and construction, but the average cost is $1,520. The luxury mattress market starts at $13,000 and soars to $140,000 per sleeping pad. Most models have customizable upgrades that can drive the price significantly up from there — yes, like a Rolls Royce. Some customers request rare furs, expensive metals or different fabrics. However, none of the mattress companies were able to name their clients, but broadly mentioned wealthy businesspeople, celebrities, royalty, actors, athletes who need custom beds for their large frames and more. They all have one thing in common: money, and lots of it. So, what's the investment here? Is this mattress made of pillowy gold? Do I wake up looking like Beyonce? These are the couture beds of the mattress world: high quality materials, some all natural.
Rare fabrics, stuffings and stitching. The added luxury and amount of "extra" detail are things lower-priced mattresses, the one you're probably sleeping on, just do not have. These companies are quick with the rationalizations: If the average person is supposed to sleep 7-9 hours per night, according to National Sleep Foundation suggestions, we spend a good amount of time in bed. We only spend an average of 46 minutes per day driving; it may be smarter to invest in a mattress than a car. Speaking of test drives, I got to be a real-life Goldilocks, testing out four of today's fanciest mattresses and learning what goes into creating the most extravagant beds. The Kluft Palais Royal The name itself suggests the level of extravagance of this mattress. Construction takes three days and 10 craftsmen in Rancho Cucamonga, California. The Palais Royal is made with more than 10 layers, 10 pounds of cashmere, mohair, silk and wool from New Zealand. The thousands of springs within the mattress are wrapped in hand-sewn cotton.
Two layers of natural horsehair make for a very supportive and comfortable rest experience. The representatives from Kluft said a more expensive model sells for $60,000 but most of the cost increase is due to custom options, such as finer materials. The Palais Royal we looked at was "customization-free" — the base model, if you will. It was a comfortable mattress, springy and supportive without being overly firm. However, this didn't feel much different than the one I have at home (and paid significantly less for). The Vispring Masterpiece Superb From the moment you see the Vispring, you can sense its distinction; if this mattress had an accent it would be British. From the attention to detail, the clean lines and the sense of regality, it's obvious this bed is meant for society's aristocrats. Made on the rocky coast of Plymouth, England, since 1901, it takes creators over three days to hand-craft this bed. It's made of all natural materials (cotton, wool, horsetail, cashmere, silk, alpaca), three layers and over 4,000 pocketed coils made of Vanadium steel.
Vispring design is bespoke. Customers can choose their own spring tension and finish the bed with their choice of fabrics. They can add another layer of rare Vicuna wool, driving the cost of the mattress up to $71,395. Vispring representative Ryan Ingerson alluded to the brand's elite customers, none of whom he would name. One wealthy businessman asked that the coils inside the bed be plated in gold. Unless the mattress were cut open, he would never see these coils. "People appreciate luxury," he says. "You have that benefit of knowing you're sleeping on the finest natural materials in the world." When I tried it, it's what I imagined the princesses in Disney movies slept on. It was the softest, most malleable bed I've ever touched, and truly felt like I was laying on a cloud. The mattresses come with a lifetime guarantee. Ingerson said they recently recovered one that was 75 years old, at 95% of its original height. The Vividus by Hästens The Vividus was the most expensive mattress we looked at.
Swedish company Hästens has been making beds for more than 160 years. The company invented the pocket spring system, was the first to use a top mattress on a continental bed, and introduced the frame bed to the world. The average Hästens mattress in Sweden is 45 years old, and some even get passed down between generations, according to Tim Dillon, Hästens retail director of North America. The Vividus contains 440 pounds of layered cotton, wool, mohair and horsehair. The corners are made from layers of flax, and the frame is constructed of northern Sweden redwood, for strength. The mattress requires over 300 hours to make, hand-stitched by one man and his team who are specially assigned to the Vividus in the Hästens factory. Each is decorated with a custom gold plaque. As such, there is a long waitlist for the Vividus. Katherine Toukatly, the representative for Hästens who showed me the bed, explained that once people experience their mattress, "they can't live without it" and will buy multiples for their other homes.
Some clients seek out hotels that use Hästens. (One such, the Ty Warner suite at the Four Seasons in New York costs $45,000 per night.) I'm not sure what it says about me that the most expensive bed was my favorite, but it was. It was a sinfully accurate combination of firm and soft. I think what really made the difference with the Vividus was the mattress topper, but even the lower-priced mattresses I tried in the store were nearly just as comfortable. The Duxiana DUX 818 Although the Duxiana was the least expensive model we looked at, this "component bed" was so customizable and able to change with the sleeper, the investment might be easier to rationalize — if you can afford $14,000. Produced in Sweden and finished in Portugal, the DUX 818 is made of three inner levels, which vary in densities. Each side of the mattress can be created differently. Patented by Duxiana, the Pascal Component system is comprised of three firmness layers inside the mattress, ranging from soft to medium to firm.
for example, a side-sleeper may want medium support for their torso, but soft for their shoulders and firm for their legs. These can be reorganized by the sleeper whenever their sleeping habits or bodies change, whether via pregnancy, injury, aging, etc. A thick, all natural latex pad zips over the Pascal Components. The DUX 818 features a unique solution to lumbar support controlled via crank at the base of the mattress. When cranked, the bed adjusts its spring system to provide more or less support to the lower back. "It's like a car — you pop the hood, you make minor adjustments, and you should be able to have this bed for the rest of your life," says Paige Davidson, Duxiana representative. Each mattress houses over a mile's worth of one continuous coil, which helps enable movement with the sleeper. While the Duxiana is made of high-quality materials, there are no luxury or rare materials as found in some of the other mattresses we tried. Their focus seems to be more on performance and longevity, rather than luxury.
