Author Topic: mattresses, pillowtops sleep? (Read 552 times)

OK,

I have a regular king size mattress and am thinking that I can do a lot for my nightly sleep with a good pillowtop to make it more comfortable. Anyone know what I can do to make this sucker more like a fourseasons or westin type pillowtop mattress?

Steal one of the pads they put on top of the beds.

Personally I want a Crowne Plaza bed but Marriott Suites are quite nice as well.

What makes the sheets so stiff and crinkly?

My Aunt used to work in a high end hotel as a maid.
She told me and Trust me, you dont wanna know.

To this day whenever her and my uncle stay at a hotel. No matter how high end it is.
they bring their own bedsheets and blankets

And that son. isnt even intended as a joke

mostly it's stuff that your body probably isn't even producing yet, Raider.

Oh SNAP!!!!!

I have to say the best place to stay is the Marriot Courtyard, hands down.

umm... not to switch the topic but does anyone know about the mattress industry and such? I'm trying to learn about how I can modify what I have instead of blowing 2k plus on a fourseasons mattress.

not sure if you can alter existing to come close. It isn't a pad they put on top to make it like it is. I had tried to do the same thing, and finally just laid down about $2k for one, and is actually maybe the best money I have spent in a long time.

And those talkin about embassy suite or courtyard beds being great obviously do not spend many nights at Westins or Fourseasons. I travel a fair amount for work & if available try to stay at Westins just because of the beds. You can actually buy one of their heavenly beds for about $2k.

Try a "memory foam" topper underneath your mattress pad and fitted sheet. Try to get at least one inch thick, but more than 2 or 3 inches is probably overkill.

Also, another quick way to make your bed feel nicer is to get high threadcount sheets. 400 or higher in pure cotton feels really nice. If you're rich, get silk sheets, but then you'll end up wondering how to wash them without ruining them...

i use a temperpedic memory foam pillow for my neck.

works wonders.

i have always thought that the first hotel chain to go all temperpedic will be no vacancy for a looooong time. (better to blow the money on one night to try it than buy one and hate it)
