Hospitality bed buying guide
The bed is by far the most significant element of a good night’s rest in a hotel. It is near impossible to get a deep, effective sleep on an old, uncomfortable bed. Mattresses lacking comfort, space and support are likely to leave us waking tired and achy and possibly grumpy for most of the day.
It may be that your guests are already letting you know.
Is it time to replace the beds in your rooms?
The age of the bed is one of the first things to consider, we recommend replacement every 5 to 7 years or when cleanliness dictates so. The ability of a mattress to provide support can be greatly affected by what supports the mattress. If you think that the mattress is in fairly good condition but is lacking support, consider checking the bed base. A damaged or worn out base can affect a mattress’s comfort, support, and shape. Another reason to replace the mattress is if there is a visible and noticeable sag. Sagging can occur as springs break down and lose resilience and impressions occur as the fibres compress over a period of time.
Comfort
Your guests’ comfort and their sleep experience is vital in achieving the highest satisfaction levels. Ultimately it is a comfortable bed that provides this experience, allowing guests not only to enjoy a restful night’s sleep, but to recommend your hotel to others and to come back time and time again.
Safety
Ensure that you comply with fire safety regulations and specify a bed that meets the BS 7177 Medium Hazard (Source 5) Fire Retardancy Standards for hotel beds. All of our beds comply with the appropriate fire regulations, and are tested in our state of the art, SATRA approved laboratory.
