Is a Luxury Hotel Mattress Really Worth It?

"Hear us out: A luxury hotel is only as good as the bed in its nicest suite. As travel enthusiasts, we know that the best hotel mattress has a hybrid silhouette. This type of mattress is a crowd-pleaser: Its design has supportive pocketed coils and soft foam layers that can pretty much guarantee a good night's sleep for any guest."

"Unlike innerspring or memory foam mattresses, the beds on this list are comfy and live up to the best hotel-quality features. As you sleep on these beauties, you'll typically experience gentle contouring and a soft feel-courtesy of couture-like fabrics. And if you share a bed, the specialty springs keep motion transfer to a minimum. Like many mattress brands, some hotel chains offer a lengthy trial period, warranty, and even white glove delivery to make a pricey purchase worthwhile."

Hybrid hotel mattresses combine supportive pocketed coils with soft foam layers to provide gentle contouring, a soft feel, and minimal motion transfer. Luxury properties like Soho House and W Hotels commission custom beds using high-quality materials such as steel springs, New Zealand wool, and cotton for elevated comfort and durability. Couture-like fabrics and specialty springs enhance the tactile feel and reduce partner disturbance for shared beds. Many hotel mattress offerings include lengthy trial periods, warranties, and white-glove delivery to justify premium pricing and ease purchase decisions. The St. Regis mattress features over 1,000 pocketed coils topped with a gel-infused comfort layer as part of the brand's heritage collection.
