It's time to buy a new mattress. Has anyone slept on those "heavenly beds" at Starwood Hotels? They are soooo comfortable. It would be great if I knew what brand/model the mattresses are so I could do some comparison shopping and order one. Has anyone done this? Checked Starwood's website and it just says "custom designed mattresses". Now I know you must be able to get them somewhere. Can anyone help?

Nina, try calling the corporate office. I am sure it is not the first time they have been asked for te info.

Nina,
You're right. The beds at the W hotels are really comfortable.

The online catalog is actually at the W hotels website:

I have a friend who bought all the bedding and pillows (not the actual mattress) and ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT!

Thanks everyone. I actually found the online catalog by calling Starwood as xxx suggested. They sell the mattress directly, but won't give out the model as they want you to buy from them. I did get the specs and it's a Simmons no-flip beautyrest with pillowtop and 825 coils (for a queen). This gives me enough info to go shopping. They want $ 1100 plus shipping ($170), so it will be interesting to see if I can beat that price through a Simmons dealer. I'm off to the stores!

Are these the same beds used in the Westin?

Nina:
PLEASE let us know what you find out.
I've been looking into the same thing and wonder whether you can get the same bed (at a better price) thru Simmons.
Thanks...

Gayle, I'm back from mattress shopping. Yes, you can get the Simmons beautyrest "world class" pillowtop, no flip with 825 coils (for a queen) for less! I compared and got the best price from 1-800 mattress. There is a store in the next town so I even tried it out and it's very bit as comfy. The salesman gave me a price of $ 905 delivered, set-up and to take away my old bed.

Yes, these are the same beds used in Westins, W's and certain Sheratons!

Interesting sidenote: The bed at the Kahala Mandarin Oriental on Oahu was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept on in a hotel. It wasn't a "Heavenly Bed," but I was told it was a Simmons Beautyrest -- for what it's worth!

Great thread. The Bellagio always has a great feel to their mattress. I will strip down the bed when we go in a few weeks and see what kind of mattress they provide.
