Hotel Mattresses
| I have been waking up with back pain for a few years, thought it was just from getting older. Didn't think it was our 6-7 year old S&F pillow top mattress until recently. We were on vacation in China of all places. On 2 particular nights we stayed in 5 star hotels and it was amazing, no morning back pain! I was so impressed I actually asked the management if they could find out anything about the mattress for me. They did try, but not surprisingly, they could only say they are custom-made for the hotel chain. It seemed quite firm and was definitely not a pillow top. Does anyone know what type (not brand) of mattresses high-end hotels generally buy? I'm starting to do research on the best specifications for me and I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the possibilites. For example, are hand-made mattresses any better than machine-made? I want to avoid making a mistake so I'm trying to get educated! |

Thanks, sipngoc, for directing me to manufacturers websites. After a bit of trolling, I discovered that Sealy's website lists the chains they supply and the specific hotels in the world. Low and behold, there was the Guilin Shangrila! I sent a note to Sealy customer service but so far no reply. I will try to find out what is different about mattresses made for hotels vs their consumer line and whether I can buy a hotel one. And thanks budgy for your tutorial on hand-made vs machine, I really appreciate the information, I never would have found it elsewhere. This board is terrific. |

Re: Hotel Mattresses
| Surprised its a Simmons! shows my ignorance on how many factories they have around the world. Even after checking out the Chinese website their products over there are essentially the same that we have here. |

| I bought a pillow-top hotel style mattress for only $1099 for a king. The mattress is unbelievably comfortable. The company I got it from is an online company called saatva. |
