What mattresses do hotels use? Here's how to bring that five-star feeling back to your bedroom

I spent hours searching the sites of some of the world's best luxury hotels, from the Ritz-Carlton to the Four Season, to find out which mattress type they use

As the resident Sleep Editor at Homes & Gardens, I'm often asked: 'what mattresses do hotels use?' Following a particularly restorative stay last summer, I found myself asking the same question. I wanted to know why my hotel mattress felt so much better than my bed at home.

I've been lucky enough to sample some of the world's best mattresses from specialist sleep stores, but I always sleep better on vacation: in part, because I'm more relaxed, but it's a testament to the quality of a good hotel mattress. If you know where to shop, you can bring that five-star feeling back to your own bedroom.

FAQs

Where can I buy a hotel mattress?

Many of the world's best hotels operate their own online stores, where you can purchase their mattresses as well as their luxury bed linens. If you're looking for another way to elevate your sleep routine, you could explore the best places to buy a mattress. When you shop at Saatva, Nectar, Tempur-Pedic, and more, you get longer sleep trials, extended warranties, and free delivery with each mattress purchase.

What makes a hotel bed special?

The look of a hotel bed is just as important as the way it feels. I asked the bedding stylists at Frette for their tips and tricks to teach us how to make a bed the right way. Then, I asked hoteliers and housekeepers, 'which bedding do luxury hotels use?' They recommended crisp white linens, fluffy comforters and plush pillows.


If you're keen to invest in your sleep, you should consider the best luxury mattress. I've ranked and reviewed six of my favorites from Avocado, Tempur-Pedic, DreamCloud and more for hotel-quality sleep at home.
