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.

EMBASSY SUITES beds pwned all hotel beds:D

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

Best bed I ever slept in iwas still my king sized waterbed
Man I miss that thing.
I HATE my matress now and can very often be found sleeping on the couch instead

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)
-
I forgot to add that my Dad swears by his air mattress... Not one of those cheapo camping mattresses, but a quality airbed. YMMV though... I don't like the air mattresses myself.
-
i find a good carpet is the best thing.
-
My cat used to like sitting on any kind of paper laying on the ground... He was really good at this and it must have been quite a thrill. Give it a try.
-
I'm about to go bed shopping...I have a full size now. Want to go queen or king. We have one of those stores that sell the TempurPedic (foam) beds and we also have an Select Comfort store.
Friend has the Tempur/foam bed. Says its very good, but come warmer weather, its very warm to sleep in. However, says its the best bed ever.
Don't know anyone who has those air/Sleep By Number beds. They sure look great and felt nice to lay on. But pretty expensive...and maybe it was the sales rep...but he didnt give me the feeling the motor/compressor had a very long warranty. Id just hate to find out how expensive it is to fix one of those things 5 years later.
I've been reading the ePinion reviews and they are all over the chart.
Thus far, a big ole Sealy coil mattress looks to be in my future, with some sort of memory foam cover...so if it is too warm for it, it can come off.
Anyone have a Sleep by Number?
-
LePaul lemme see if I can get ahold of my neighbor from when I lived in FL. He worked for Select Comfort as a manager but I think moved on to another job so I'm sure he'd give you the straight skinny on the bed.
I do believe he had one if that says anything.
-
Cool, thanks....from what I've read of reviews...eh gad, after 2 years, they are terrible.
-
Anyone have one of those foam beds? Looked like sleeping on a marshmellow.
-
We have had a Queen size select comfort pillow top for about 10 years and still like the day we bought it. The nice thing is sometimes you want the bed just a little bit firmer or softer and it is just a touch of the button. When you see the temperpedic commercial they show how you don't notice your mate rolling over, well same goes for the select comfort. As far as hot or cold, it is pretty much like a regular mattress not hot in summer or cold in winter just comfortable. As for pillows the temperpedic is our choice also, seems to be a perfect match.

so thats why the sheets in hotels are white:lol

I bought a new King Koil last year at Sleep Experts. It's a memory foam pillowtop and it's the best mattress I've ever slept on.
Beats every waterbed, air matterss and coil mattress I've ever tried. Only problem is the dang thing is 24 inches deep.

Not even close. Regular Marriots are better than Courtyards, and a lot of places are better than Marriots. They aren't bad though.
I belong to most of the hotel clubs, I travel so much it is handy for the free rooms.
National Car gives me free rentals as I rent so much. Executive Elite.
