Top hotel mattresses are ''to die for''

Many people wanting to die happy may want to get themselves along to one of seven hotels in the world, a travel guide publisher has revealed this month.
According to Luxe City Guides, a good night''s sleep is wonderfully easy to attain at the Bowery Hotel in New York, which uses custom-built beds and high-end mattresses alongside the delights of Egyptian cotton to make it the most ridiculously comfortable experience going.
The Setai in Miami may be more to the tastes of others, however, with visitors able to see the sun rise over the Atlantic while reclining on 700-count sateen bed linen should they so desire.
Bringing pride to Britain, the Connaught in London was praised for its own-brand 50/50 feather and down pillows as well as good window shades and - money allowing - a private butler to give extra luxury.
The Connaught got its name from Queen Victoria''s third son, Prince Arthur, the Duke of Connaught, being renamed from the Coburg Hotel in 1897.
