Tempurpedic

This is good news to hoteliers and people who enjoy staying at hotels.  If the bed in which you lie on, and from which all other people lie on, is from Mattress Safe® — it has just been recently accredited to be bed bug resistant:

A “Bite Test” and a “Penetration and Escape Test” were performed on Mattress Safe’s “Ultimate” Zippered Encasement by a certified entomologist to 1.) determine whether the bed bugs can actively feed through the fabric of the encasement and 2.) to discover whether the mattress encasement can be used as part of a bed bug exclusion or inclusion process.

Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, who manages the Hotel Monaco Chicago has opened its. The KN Tranquility Suite(TM) this month. It’s 450 square feet of space, with the bedroom area’s comforts all provided exclusively by BonTon (where the same bedding products are sold), including:

• Eco-friendly KN Luxury Home Bamboo Sheets
• N Luxury Home Lenox Bedding Ensemble with mixed decorative pillows
• N Basic Bedding Coordinates (coverlets, pillows, mattress toppers,
  down and embossed comforter)
• KN Twin Story(TM) Coil on Coil Mattress by Simmons(R)

So what is this “Freshbed Technology”? Zetter Hotel in London is said to be the very first to install such as system in two of their hotel rooms located at the top floor. What the system does is that it sends out air currents through the mattress, aiding the regulation of body temperature. Of course, the better your sleeping area is, the better you sleep. The system isn’t hard to operate. In fact, guests will be taught how to do it as soon as they arrive in the hotel room.

Zetter Hotel is one of London’s top 15 hotels.

Crufts is a big event for dog lovers in England and hotel chain Travelodge is prepared to pamper pooches and their owners, when they choose to stay at their hotels by giving them ample sleeping accommodations.

Leigh McCarron, the Travelodge sleep director said: “Crufts is a big occasion in the dog calendar and we want to acknowledge the importance of this event.”

“Therefore we have extended our range of pooch beds to ensure our two- and four-legged customers get their beauty sleep in order to look and feel their best for the big occasion.”

The Marriott Bed features a seven-inch Jamison mattress with plush quilting on the top and sides, as well as a down comforter with duvet cover, lightweight down blanket and Down Surround® pillows. Down items are manufactured by the Pacific Coast Feather Company® and undergo a patented Hypercleaning process to ensure the bedding is hypoallergenic. Marriott spent more than a year designing and testing the bed for Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites and Marriott Conference Centers—eight hotels participated in extensive customer research. Installation began this fall and plans call for approximately 75 percent of the brands’ guest rooms to receive the new bed by early 2003.

Are you traveling anytime soon? Then you might want to consider accommodations at the Candlewood Suites, located in over 100 areas across the US. The company just recently upgraded their hotel rooms to provide a more indulgent sleeping environment for their guests.

The upgrade cost them 11,000 new mattress and bedding sets in all of their hotels. Additionally, they also did the following improvements:

- The bedskirts (a.k.a. dustruffles) wraps around the box spring instead of lying flat across it. Housekeeping staff no longer has to lift the mattress to change or adjust the bedskirt.

Have you ever considered renting a mattress? At the back of my mind, I’m thinking “bed bugs, bed bugs, bed bugs”…among other things. Common sense and a some health agencies have always said that using someone else’s mattress is unsanitary and unsafe.

But then, if you think about it, people check in and out of hotels and motels all the time. So, that’s almost like renting a mattress. These establishments usually have some sanitation procedures to follow.  Whereas with renting mattresses, which you have to bring home, and use for visitors or visitors with kids — who knows what has been done on top of those mattress, right?
