The coveted Four Seasons sleep experience begins with the design of the guestrooms, which are created as true sleeping sanctuaries, with double-walled windows for soundproofing, in-room temperature controls, blackout shades and top-quality bedding. But of course, the bed itself is always the focal point. Four Seasons understands better than anyone that a great night’s sleep leads to vitality and wellness. That’s why the company spent the last 50 years in partnership with experts and in consultation with guests to perfect the mattresses. Now, in partnership with Simmons Bedding Company, Four Seasons invites you to experience the latest innovation in comfort with the all-new mattress and topper collection designed exclusively for Four Seasons. Which Four Seasons mattress topper is right for you? This fully customizable collection allows you to choose your desired level of firmness by selecting from one of three mattress toppers: Signature, Signature Plush and Signature Firm.
Easy to remove or change based on your preference, each of the three custom-designed mattress toppers is designed with maximum comfort in mind. Select from one of the following: Signature—Every bed is set with this topper, designed for optimum firmness and offering classic Four Seasons comfort. Signature Plush—Request this topper if you prefer a softer mattress. Signature Firm—Request this topper for ultimate support. Designed according to carefully studied specifications, the new Four Seasons mattresses are the ultimate in luxury bedding and feature the latest technology, including: Patented GelTouch Foam Center heat-absorption technology that keeps you cool and comfortable throughout the night Pocketed coil motion separation, providing optimal support that minimizes motion transfer between you and your partner when you sleep Where to find the bed The Four Seasons Bed is already in place in several locations in the U.S., and will replace beds at all Four Seasons locations over the next few years as part of the normal course of upgrade.
Travellers can contact individual Four Seasons properties in advance of their next visit to inquire about the availability of the new bed. How to take The Four Seasons Bed home Not only can you create your ideal bed inside your Four Seasons guestroom, you can extend your perfect sleep to your own home when you purchase The Four Seasons Bed directly from a hotel or resort. Besides selecting twin, full, queen or king size, you have the choice of purchasing any individual portion of the bed system or the full set, which includes the newly designed Four Seasons mattress, box spring and Signature topper. Signature Firm or Signature Plush toppers are available for an additional fee. The toppers also extend the life of your mattress, meaning more sweet dreams are in your future. These proprietary beds, along with a full array of Four Seasons pillows and bed linens, are never sold in stores and may only be ordered directly through a Four Seasons hotel or resort. For more information or to purchase, contact your nearest Four Seasons and ask to speak with the front desk.

With its flaxen frame and reclined, padded headboard—ideal for leaning back with a laptop or tablet without having to stack a mountain of pillows—it was a seductive place to sleep and work. It even becomes a dining area, with a nook at the front corner of the bed that doubles as a small seat, and a small end table that extends for breakfast. With the help of Rockwell Group Europe, Virgin Hotels' design team had created a futuristic—and honestly, game-changing—hotel bed. Now the proprietary (and recently patented) bed is for sale at the newly launched Virgin Hotels at Home online store. For $4,825 (with free shipping) guests can sleep on a full-sized, custom-made Virgin bed every night.
(Queen, king, and California king options are also available, along with custom mattresses with cashmere-blended fiber from $895.) Want to complete the Virgin look? Check out the cherry red Vespa scooter chair ($2,200) and mini-SMEG fridge ($2,250).“The goal of the chamber from the onset was to create a pied-à-terre –like space that made our guests feel at home,” Doug Carillo, vice president of sales and marketing for Virgin Hotels, told Condé Nast Traveler. But it's not the only hotel chain making that deep night's sleep possible at home. Here are a few of our top picks for this holiday's shopping season:Hotel Beds to Bring HomeThe Four Seasons’ custom bed, launched last year, has a heat-absorbing core to keep guests cool while they sleep. The luxury brand now sells the entire set—mattress, boxspring, and the signature Four Seasons mattress topper, all customizable—manufactured by Simmons Bedding Company. Prices range from $2,199 for a twin bed to $2,999 for a king set. Online ordering is not available but guests can call the nearest Four Seasons resort to purchase.
Duxiana’s DUX beds are found in top-tier luxury hotels like the stylish Quin Hotel in New York and the flashy Burj Al Arab Jumeirah in Dubai. These beds are made using slow-growing pine found in Northern Sweden (not kidding) and are built to keep your spine in alignment as you doze. Buying a Duxiana bed is fairly easy—the Swedish company has stores all over the world—but the starting price for a Dux bed is about $8,000. And that’s just for the mattress.1 Hotels, another new hotel brand like Virgin, doesn’t sell its amenities online yet (an e-commerce site is in works for next year) but it does use Keetsa’s sustainable hemp-blend mattresses, which are in line with the brand’s eco-friendly ethos. Aside from the hemp fabric, Keetsa has replaced a portion of the petroleum oil often found in memory foam with castor bean oil. The eco-friendly mattresses also cut down on chemicals by using unbleached cotton and uncolored cotton fabrics. Best of all, the mattresses are quite affordable: from $471 for a twin mattress to $1,784 for a California king.
And then there’s Hästens, a coveted Swedish brand known for its craftsmanship. Each mattress is handmade in a tiny Swedish factory using premium natural materials like flax, cotton, wool, Swedish pine, and believe it or not, genuine hypoallergenic horsehair. Boutique luxury hotels like c/o The Maidstone Hotel in East Hampton and the Eccleston Square Hotel in London have Hästens beds in their guest rooms, but if you’re not fully ready to commit to the bed, which starts around $5,000, Hästens has a helpful hotel locator on its website so you can do a little more “research” before buying one to bring home.Ritz-Carlton sells its own brand of sheets online, but many Ritz properties use Frette Italian linens. They're the kind that get cooler, smoother, and more luxurious with age—it's almost not fair how great these sheets are. When in doubt, it's also worth checking Sobel Westex, which is a retailer for a variety of hotel linens and pillows. Recommended for YouTravel AwardsThe 20 Best Cities in Europe
