Bad hip and hard beds

We are traveling to Milan for the first time. I have a bad hip and hard beds just do me in for days. Does anyone have a recommendation regarding beds that don't feel like you are sleeping on a rock? I love Sheraton's heavenly beds. Thanks.

Milan has both a Four Points and a Sheraton (the Diana Majestic).

You could check the website for each to see if they mention the heavenly beds.

This is not about beds, but I've tried and do it even at home - a small pillow between your knees, so the hips stay all night at the proper angle, and you don't feel stiffness in the morning.

If you don't want to carry a pillow, use inflatable which you can blow up in the hotel room and adjust the softness.

Thanks. I checked out the Sheraton. They want $425.00 per night. Oh my goodness. I have tried pillows; it doesn't work, but thanks for the advice. I guess I'll just keep reading to see if anyone talks about the comfy beds and just book the room and hope for the best.

I stay in Greece every year in a place with hard beds. Last year I took a mattress topper (tempapedic copy from Walmart) and it made such a difference. A single topper, when taken out of the box, took up about half to three quarters of one case. If you take 2 bags / cases, you should be able to spare the room.
