Mattress at the Comfort Inn Hotel?

 

Hi Pete,

I was searching the internet for the mattress purchased by Comfort Inn. 

I saw a response, but it was from 2012, stating most hotels purchase Sealy, Serta and Simmons.

With the post being 7 years old, I was wondering if this is still true? 

I am looking to purchase a new mattress in the next month and slept very well there.

Thanks, Kim

 

Hi Kim,

Sealy, Simmons and Serta dominate the hotel industry.

The last time I checked, Comfort Inn had Sealy.

Sheraton switched from Sealy Posturepedic to Simmons Beautyrest, in the wake of Sealy being sold to Tempurpedic.

The larger, better hotels will, usually, use Sealy or Simmons.

I find that many of the lower end motels will use Serta.

 

Whatever you find in hotels can no longer be found at retail stores.

The model names for each mattress will be different at every store, and every hotel...making shopping difficult.

 

The best way to shop is by comparing the specifications....a list of the materials used in the mattress.

Get that info from the hotel who's mattress you like, and compare that list of specifications to other mattresses.

It's a bit of a chore. Or, you can buy the mattress from the hotel...in many cases.

 

 

 

 

VERY IMPORTANT:

Keeping your mattress clean and dry will increase longevity.

Sealy Posturepedic Encore 720 Hotel Mattress.

Dana writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We stayed at a hotel in Idaho, and slept better there than how we've been sleeping at home.

That mattress was a Sealy Posturepedic Encore 720 and had no memory foam in it.

Researching this, led me to your blog.

It was there, I read about how bad memory foam is, which explains the problems I'm having with my mattress.

I also read that I can't buy the Sealy's hotel mattresses at retail stores...just through the hotels.

So, thank you for that information. I will call the hotel and inquire about getting one.  

Do you carry any mattresses that are similar, without any memory foam?

If so, can you send me that information?

Thanks, Dana

 

Hi Dana,

I'm sending you two links.

One for Old Fashion Quality, Two Sided Mattresses upholstered with with polyurethane foam.

Marriott Hotel Sealy Posturepedic Encore CSS Plush Mattress.

Sheri writes:

 

Hi Pete,

We just stayed at a Marriott, where we slept on a Sealy Posturepedic Encore CSS Plush mattress. 

Can you direct me to where I can buy a comparable mattress?

Thank you for your assistance, Sheri

 

Hi Sheri,

Hotel mattresses, made by Sealy, are not available at retail stores.

All of the mattresses Sealy makes for retail stores are upholstered with memory foam.

The upholstery used for hotel mattresses is polyurethane....NO Memory Foam.

 

You have a couple of options.

You can buy hotel mattresses directly thru the hotel.

However, they tend to be more expensive, purchased that way. On the plush side, the mattress will wear well.

Memory foam wears extremely poorly, and off gasses the toxic chemicals from which it's made.

A successful purchase involves avoiding mattresses made with memory foam.

 

Another option is the Brolynn Plush mattress.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/two-sided-mattresses/

 

This as an Old Fashion Quality Two Sided mattress, also upholstered with Polyurethane...and NO Memory Foam.

This mattress is much more reasonably priced that what the hotels charge.

 

Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.

Simmons Beautyrest Mattress and Latex topper.

Keith writes:

 

Hi Pete,

It's time to replace our mattress. 

We're looking for an equivalent mattress to what we slept on at the Chicago Peninsula Hotel, a few years ago.  

Based on what I can find, it looks like they use a Simmons Beautyrest.

I noticed that you were able to answer many questions and sell hotel equivalent bedding to retail customers.

We want to follow your suggestion, and use a latex topper instead of getting a pillowtop. It makes sense.

We are average size people, we only the usual aches and pains that come with being in our late 50s.

Do you ship to Massachusetts?  

Thank you, Keith

 

Hi Keith,

What makes a Simmons Beautyrest so comfortable, is the support from the individually pocketed coils.

In that, all Beautyrest mattresses are the same.

For two average size adults, for use in a master bedroom, we recommend the following:

Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Series Gibson Grove In Luxury Firm

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/simmons/beautyrest-recharge-world-class/

The Pure Talalay Bliss 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper, is what to use with it.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/pure-latexbliss-toppers/

Together, they provide excellent, long lasting support and comfort

The mattress comes with white glove delivery, which includes removal of your old mattress.

The latex topper arrives via UPS.

Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.

How Old is This Hotel Mattress?

Cyndi writes:

 

Help please, Pete

How can I tell in what year this hotel mattress was made? 

Thank You, Cyndi

 

Hi Cyndi,

The white "law label" that is sewn into the head edge of the mattress, gives the date of manufacture.

Model names change every year or two and model names vary from store to store....and hotel to hotel.

 

**************

 

Thank you, Peter, for your prompt response !

Very impressive !!!

Found it. It's 25 years old.

 

Wow! An antique.

It's in Hawaii Molokai at the old Sheraton 

We bought a condo there and will buy a new mattress soon !!! I hope.

Is there one like it available today?

Thanks so much 

Mahalo, Cyndi 

 

 

Hi Cyndi,

Without knowing which mattress you're looking at, I can assure you that there is no mattress, made today, 

that is anything like any 25 year old mattress.

Mattress Needed for a Big Man with Discs Causing Back Pain.

Frank writes:

 

Hi Pete,

After a week of reading countless reviews I was hoping you might be able to help me find a new mattress.

I'm just coming off surgery on my C6 and C7 discs. However, they are still causing me back pain.

I'm 6 ft., 275 lbs. and in my early 30's. But to complicate matters I like a soft bed. 

I swear, I have never in my life had a better night's sleep than when I'm traveling and I stay in Westin's and sleep on their Heavenly Bed. 

Thought of maybe buying one but then I read so many troublesome reviews and so this circle of confusion began.

I've been looking for Plush or Pillowtop as I enjoy that soft feel but is there a better option out there? 

And regardless of the type what are some of the best brands and models out there.

Desperately need a new mattress and totally confused on what I have read to date. 

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Frank

 

 

Hi Frank,

The good news is, you can have everything you need and want...and longevity that will hold up under a big man.

 

But first, you need to understand why you sleep so well at the Westin Hotel.

Their Heavenly bed is a Simmons Beautyrest, which features a pre-compressed, individually pocketed coil unit.

These coils move independently from each other, which contour to your body shape and maintain the natural alignment of your spine.

The pre-compressed, 9" coils in a 7" pocket, push up against your spine....keeping your discs well supported.

Unfortunately, the coils are made of raw steel, not tempered steel. That, along with inadequate upholstery material, translates into a short lived mattress.

Hence, all the bad reviews you've seen about Simmons Beautyrest. 

Complicating this, it your preference for a plush pillowtop.

A Simmons Beautyrest is made 'plush' by using a much thinner gauge wire to make the coils.

And, the first thing to show wear is the pillowtop part of the mattress.

All this adds up to a complete waste of money for anyone carrying a lot of body weight.

 

Now, back to the good news.

I have two options for you. The first will have the greater degree of surface comfort...and should last you close to 10 years.

The second option will be strong and last longer. It, too will be comfortable, although not quite as soft as option #1...but lasting more than 10 years.

Both are an excellent value. Only you can decide which is the better value for your needs and desires.

Both provide the same support you experienced at The Westin Hotel.

 

#1) The Simmons Beautyrest Black Series mattresses use a triple strand wire to make the coils in every other row of coils.

These are the strongest of all the Simmons Beautyrest mattresses.

I recommend the Simmons Beautyrest Black L-Class Medium, and a Pure Talalay Bliss 3" Plush Talalay Latex Topper to go on it.

Latex is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years, providing excellent comfort and resiliency...resisting body impressions.

Together, you'll enjoy the support comfort and longevity.

 

#2) The Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush mattress.

This mattress has the same type of coil system as used in the Simmons Beautyrest.

The coil count is higher and the double tempered steel make them stronger and longer lasting.

The upholstery is 3" of Plush Natural Talalay Latex.

Due to the high quality of the components, this mattress is not as soft as it sounds.

You will want to add the same Pure Bliss latex topper to this mattress, as well, to achieve that very plush feel you want.

 

Here are links to both mattresses and to the latex topper.

https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/simmons/beautyrest-black/

https://themattressexpert.com/liberty-ultra-plush/

https://themattressexpert.com/pure-latexbliss-toppers/

Both mattresses come with White Glove Delivery, which includes set-up in your bedroom and removal of your old mattress.

The latex topper arrives via UPS.

Delivery is free and there's no sales tax.

 

 

Thanks, Pete

Exact Mattress and Pillows at The Holiday Inn Hotels.

Eline writes;

 

Dear Sirs,

Do you have the exact mattress and pillows that the "Holiday Inn" hotels have?

I'm interested and would like to know the prices of both queen mattress & pillow.

Thank you, Eliane

 

 

Hi Eliane,
Do I say, “yes” and sell you something?
Many salespeople wouldn’t even stop to think about it.

No, we don’t.
In fact, I would never take an order under these circumstances.
Which mattress? Which pillow? You may not find the same mattress in any two rooms...each with a varying degrees of age and wear to them.

And, if that particular hotel is old enough, the brand of mattress they currently feature may be a different brand in the room you occupied.
Even a brand new mattress that is the same brand and made “exactly” the same, may not feel like the used one you slept one.
A new mattress tends to be a bit stiff, at first, loosening up a bit with each night's use. 

The thinking behind the way you phrased your question, will surely set you up for disappointment.

Wyndham Hotel Mattress Recommendation.

Jimmy writes:

 

Hi Pete,

I just read a review that you did for a gentleman interested in purchasing a mattress like one he slept on in a Wyndham hotel.

I, myself, had a similar experience and would now like to know what you recommend for a person my size. 

I’m a 50-ish male, 5’11” and 220 pounds with a semi-active lifestyle. My wife is 40-ish, 5'5" and 145 pounds.

We are, both, side sleepers.

 

I like my mattress more on the firm side and right now need just the top to go in my travel trailer. It will only fit a full size. 

I’ll be sleeping in it quite a bit over these next 4 months, as I travel for work in the construction field. 

My wife and I both hope to sleep as good on the road as we do in our own bed, at home.

Can you make any suggestions?

 

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Respectfully, Jimmy

 

 

Hi Jimmy,

You may have noticed that the mattress I recommended, in that earlier post, was a Black Series Beautyrest....which is perfectly fine for you, too.

The Simmons Beautyrest Black Luxury Firm Desiree is the mattress to get.

Slept Without Back Pain on a Simmons Beautyrest Recharge Hotel Mattress.

Jerry writes:

 

Hi Pete,

My wife and I just got back from vacation and slept for a week without our usual back pains.

This hotel mattress had a label that said, "Simmons Beautyrest Recharge".

My wife wants me to buy this mattress for our home.

She's average size...5' 2" and 130 Lbs. I, on the other hand, weigh in at 260 Lbs.

What would you recommend for us?

Thanks, Jerry

 

 

Hi Jerry,

What your wife liked about the Simmons Beautyrest mattress is the unique support that it offers....provided by a pre-compressed, individually pocketed coil system that provides upward support, while contouring to the shape of the body and maintaining the natural alignment of the spine.

In this, all Beautyrest mattresses are the same.

 

However, a mattress is a pressure sensitive product.

And at 260 lbs., the equivalent of the Recharge isn’t strong enough.

The hotel Recharge is at the low end of the Simmons Beautyrest line.

 

For your needs, the mattress to get is the Simmons Beautyrest Black Desiree Luxury Firm...shown here:

Delivery is Free and There’s NO Sales Tax. themattressexpert.com

Because the Beautyrest mattresses are upholstered with memory foam, you’ll need to add a latex topper to it, so that it will wear well over the years.

You may have seen me recommend them together on my blog.

The Pure Talalay Bliss 2” Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper is all you need.

The 3" does provide a greater degree of surface comfort.

Shown here:

https://themattressexpert.com/pure-latexbliss-toppers/

 

You should rotate your new mattress more frequently than usual, since there is a substantial difference in weight between you and your wife.

 

White Glove Delivery is free and includes removal of your old mattress.

The latex topper arrives via UPS.

There are no delivery charges and no sales tax.

In Need of King Size Mattress Like the Westin Heavenly Bed.

Wendy writes:

 

Hello Pete,

My husband and I had slept beautifully on a queen size Westin heavenly bed for over 10 years. 

I was in need of replacing and we wanted to switch to to king size which we did maybe 4 years ago.

 

We ordered a king size Heavenly bed, which began to sag badly after about six months. 

They replaced it and the same thing happened, so we bought a different mattress, and now, a year and a half later, it is very saggy.

It is causing low back pain, and pain in the hips and shoulders from pressure.  

 

My husband and I are both side sleepers, and he weighs about 160 pounds and I weigh about 120 pounds. 

We were surprised our mattresses have not lasted long. The quality isn’t what it used to be. 

 

What are your recommendations for us as far as mattress, base support and any toppers.

Thanks, Wendy

 

 

 

Hi Wendy,

The Westin Heavenly Bed is a Simmons Beautyrest.
Your original mattress had no memory foam in it.
It was upholstered with polyurethane foam and maybe some latex.

Today, all Beautyrest mattresses are upholstered with memory foam.
Memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented...purposefully designed to cause a mattress to need frequent replacing.

It’s not an overall reduction in quality...just that one component that has caused the problems you’ve encountered...along with so many other people.

It is the pre-compressed, individually pocketed coils that provides great support.
I have two recommendations for you.

1) A Simmons Beautyrest Platinum Series Gibson Grove Luxury Firm Mattress and a Latex Topper to go on it.

The latex topper will insulate you from the memory foam and cause the mattress to remain like new for many years.

Add a Pure Talalay Bliss 2" or 3" Plush Natural Talalay Latex Topper.
Here are the links for both products.
https://themattressexpert.com/our-brands/simmons/beautyrest-recharge-world-class/

https://themattressexpert.com/pure-latexbliss-toppers/

2) A Natura of Canada Greenspring Ultra Plush Mattress.
This uses the same type of coil system as the Simmons Beautyrest.
The number of coils is greater and the coils are stronger.
Also, the upholstery material is natural Talalay Latex and contains no memory foam.
Latex is and has been the best upholstery material for the last 100 years.
We have this mattress at home.
And despite us being much heavier than either of you, our mattress remains in like new condition, without so much as a dent in it, after the 4 years we’ve had it.
Here’s a link to that mattress.

Hi Pete,
Thank you for your helpful suggestions. 
We were also looking at the Wolf Two Sided mattresses.

They can be flipped and turned and set on a foundation, not requiring a box spring.

And, using a topper that can be changed out over the years, will make it less expensive. 

I think we are feeling wary of the one sided plush mattresses. 

Also, the Wolf Two Sided Mattresses, have a good number of pocketed springs. 

How does is compare to the Beautyrest?
Thanks for your help,
Wendy

 

Hi Wendy,
The Wolf Two Sided Mattress is a good choice for your weights.

Compared to the Beautyrests, the Wolf coils are tempered. Simmons does not temper their coils.

And the upholstery is plant based poly foam...NO Memory Foam 

Also, the Wolf mattresses are shrink wrapped, rolled and boxed.
They ship via UPS...dropped off at the front door.
They don’t offer white glove delivery service.

If you’re ok with that, you’ll be happy with the years of service it provides.
