Hilton Garden Inn Mattress

Talk To The Experts
1

Hi, I recently stayed in Hilton Garden Inn and loved the mattress. I looked at the tag, it says Serta Perfect Sleeper specially made for Hilton Garden Inn. After a long search, I found a website “shophiltongardeninn.com” that sale the mattress. I contact them and was told it was the same mattress in their rooms. My questions is should I trust the mattress is the same quality as in their hotel room? Serta also told me the model similar to they made for Hilton. Should I just buy from Serta?

Hi Leah1.

I’d lean towards buying from Serta directly if you’re unable to confirm the website you found is legitimate. It’s likely, however, that Hilton uses a mattress pad of some variety on the mattress as well. Could you reach out to the hotel you stayed at or the chain for more details?

Hi Leah1,

I just wanted to add something in addition to @NikkiTMU.

It is a bit long winded as my response to folks who become enamored with hotel mattresses.

Buying a mattress from a hotel mattress website can be tempting, especially if you’ve had a great night’s sleep at a hotel and want to replicate that experience at home. However, there are several pitfalls to be aware of:

  1. Perception vs. Reality: The comfort of a hotel mattress often feels superior because it’s compared to the one you have at home, which might be worn out or unsupportive. Your home mattress’s condition can significantly impact your perception of comfort. The hotel mattress might just be relatively better due to the poor state of your current mattress, not necessarily because it’s inherently superior. Additionally, many times when you arrive at a hotel or B&B, you are tired from traveling, exhausted from a day out at disney world, or some other business conference, and a bed of bricks may feel great at that point.
  2. Different Design Standards: Hotel mattresses are specifically designed for high traffic and diverse guest needs. They’re built to withstand a lot of use and to be comfortable for a wide range of people, but they’re also tailored for the hospitality environment. The mattresses available for purchase on the hotel’s website might not be identical to those used in the hotel rooms. They may be manufactured to different specifications or at a different quality level, which means you might not get the same level of comfort.
  3. Durability and Quality: Hotel mattresses are often constructed to be durable and resilient under constant use. When purchasing one for home use, you might receive a model that’s designed more for individual comfort rather than for longevity. The quality and durability can vary significantly from the hotel version, potentially leading to a different sleep experience.
  4. Cost Considerations: Hotel-branded mattresses can be quite expensive, and you may not always be getting the value you expect. The premium pricing could be partly due to the brand’s marketing and the association with the hotel experience, rather than the mattress’s actual quality or uniqueness.
  5. Return Policies and Trials: When buying a mattress, it’s crucial to consider return policies and trial periods. Hotel mattress websites might not offer the same flexibility as traditional mattress retailers. If the mattress doesn’t meet your expectations, returning it could be more complicated or costly.
  6. Comfort Preferences: Comfort is highly subjective and can be influenced by various factors such as sleep position, body weight, and personal preferences. Just because you had a good experience with a hotel mattress doesn’t guarantee the same outcome at home, especially if the mattress you buy isn’t an exact match.

While hotel mattresses can feel great, the actual experience of purchasing one for home use may not always match your expectations. It’s important to research and consider factors like design differences, durability, cost, and return policies before making a purchase. You should also research the web for individual independent reviews from folks who have purchased the so called “hotel” mattresses. You may not find the reviews as glowing as the great nights sleep those sleepers got while staying at the hotel they purchased their mattress from, particularly a month or two in of sleeping on that one or two night great mattress sleep in the hotel.

Best of luck on your search,

Maverick

Hi Nikki and Maverick,

Thank you both for your advices. I was on the fence due to Hotel’s no-return policy and now I have decided not to buy a mattress directly from a hotel chain. Thank you for helping me to make a decision. Leah
