The first thing most people do when they enter a hotel room: sit or lie on the bed. It's just the way it is -- people want comfort when away from home.

Bed mattresses come in all levels of firmness. Some are barely a step up from sleeping on the floor. Others feel like you're on a cloud but offer no back support. It's up to you to choose mattresses that will make your guests feel the most comfortable.

In this guide, you'll learn how to:

1. Choose bed mattresses that make a lasting impression on your guests.
2. Get comfort while not comprising durability and quality.
3. Pick higher-end custom mattresses for ultimate in sleeping comfort.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Find wholesale mattress providers


If you're furnishing a hotel or motel, you need to find mattress wholesalers that have a history of supplying hotels and motels.

I recommend: 1800Mattress.com is where you'll find the popular hotel mattress  from Simmons Beauty Rest. This is the bed found in Westin® Hotels and Resorts. Sears.com sells mattresses from all the major mattress suppliers. Pacific Coast is a leading feather bed wholesale supplier to hotels. On the high-end, The W Store offers the beds showcased in their exclusive hotels.

Find mattresses with the durability you need


Durability in a bed mattress is a must when it comes to hotel mattresses that will be used over and over again. Durability comes down to two things: the fabric and coils. If either of these is shoddy, the mattress will not last. Look for a mattress with a tough coil system and a soft, durable fabric for comfort.

I recommend: Use the US Mattresses durability chart. It lists the comfort levels and expected life of Sealy, Sterns & Foster, Serta, Simmons Beauty Rest, Spring Air and Bassett mattresses. Simmons Deep Sleep mattress is touted as a very durable mattress. It has high-performance coils and there's no need to ever flip it over.

Consider a pillow top or memory foam mattress


Pillow top mattresses give support and soft comfort. The pillow top mattresses relieve pressure points, too. Memory foam mattresses are known for their comfort, as they conform to individual body shapes.

I recommend: Verlo specializes in handcrafted pillow top mattresses. The company will also make you custom mattresses. Mattress.com lets you shop for a mattress with ease. Simply enter the size and your zip code. Buy a memory foam mattress straight from a leading manufacturer.
