Best Hotel Beds – And Where You Can Buy ThemIn 1999, a ferocious international conflict broke out that has been raging ever since. You may not be aware of it, but you have almost certainly benefited from it: the battle between hotels that came to be known as the Bed Wars.Do you remember the days when your hotel bed was just that - a bed, low and skimpy in a modest establishment, passably comfortable in an upscale one, with unembellished mattress, sheets, blankets and two pillows each if you were lucky? Feather and down - forget it; polyester and foam - much more likely. It was just accepted that any hotel bed was unlikely to be as comfortable as your own.In the UK, only the Savoy stood out as the legendary provider of the finest hotel bed: handmade since 1905. Then, in 1999, along came Westin Hotels and Resorts with its specially designed, all-white Heavenly Bed. A brilliant marketing coup, it brought Westin a higher profile, an increase in bookings, and a deluge of requests to buy the bed from well-rested guests.
Rival hotel groups were forced to respond. And so the Bed Wars began, with skirmishes counted in tog values, box springs, shock absorbers, pillow menus, feather toppers, thread counts and baffle-box stitching. A good night's sleep became a "super-premium sleep experience", and thousands of new beds were rolled out to hotels across the globe.These days, it seems, you can't hold your head up as a respectable hotel group unless you can offer a bed that sounds more complicated than the inner workings of a nuclear reactor. Along with Hilton's Serenity bed and Marriott's new Revive bedding, there's Sofitel's Mybed and Four Seasons's highly regarded Sealy Posturelux 4000 bed, with added pillow-top unique to the company. With the playing ground level, hotel chains are left with a problem - how to convince people that they are the quickest at rendering guests unconscious? It's easier for individual hotels to stand out. ; ; room 16 costs £350 per night, including breakfast) in Chipping Camden, has equipped one of its rooms (No 16) with a bed costing £14,000.
The Ammique King dispenses with a mattress, but instead consists of 10,000 plastic-capped vertical rods, covered by padded sheets, that contour to your body as you shift even the slightest degree. Chain hotels can't beat that, but they'll come up with something. A free bottle of Mogadon in each room perhaps?
