Pocket spring? Memory foam? Water? What’s the right mattress for your Accommodation Property?

Waterbeds might be a thing of the past, but choosing the right mattress for your accommodation is still an important decision. Whether you’re managing a hotel, motel, holiday park, or backpackers, selecting a mattress that balances comfort, durability, and value is crucial for guest satisfaction.

After all, the quality of sleep your guests enjoy can make or break their stay. Investing in quality mattress is a priority for many establishments, with choices often guided by both budget and the level of comfort you want to offer your guests.

Here are some key factors to consider when choosing the right mattress for your property:

Size Matters

The size of the bed is often the first thing guests notice. A queen or king-size bed exudes luxury and relaxation, perfect for high-end accommodations looking to impress. However, if you’re operating a backpackers’ hostel, maximizing the number of beds might take priority, making bunk beds with the right mattresses a smart choice.

Comfort

The comfort of your mattresses plays a major role in guest satisfaction. Most accommodation providers opt for medium-firm mattresses, offering the versatility to cater to a wide variety of body types and sleeping preferences. Paired with comfortable mattress toppers, heavy duvets, and crisp sheets, these mattresses create the foundation for a restful night.

Modern mattresses often feature layers of foam, gel, or latex designed to enhance comfort. These layers help evenly distribute weight, relieve pressure, and provide temperature regulation or hypoallergenic properties. Some mattresses also have reinforced foam edging to prevent sagging, increase the usable sleep surface, and offer better support when getting in and out of bed. Additionally, hotel-grade mattresses are usually encased in fire-retardant fabric for added safety.

Support

For ultimate guest comfort, many high-end hotels opt for pocket spring mattresses. These mattresses feature individually wrapped coils that move independently, reducing partner disturbance and providing targeted support. With different spring zones designed to support heavier parts of the body, pocket springs offer excellent support while minimizing the feeling of movement across the bed. Some models even feature an extra layer of mini coils for added comfort.

Alternatively, innerspring (or bonnell) mattresses, made from a wire system combined with coils, are another great option. While they provide solid support, they tend to be more responsive to movement, which might be less comfortable for guests sharing a bed with varying sleep styles or sizes.

For those focused on longevity, double-sided mattresses can be a great investment. By flipping the mattress when one side becomes worn, you can effectively double its lifespan. These mattresses are also often lighter and easier to rotate, making maintenance simpler.

Versatility

If your accommodation caters to different guest configurations, a zip-together split mattress may be the perfect solution. These versatile mattresses can convert from a king-size bed to two singles, offering flexibility for various room setups.

With these considerations in mind, the next step is to explore the wide variety of mattress options available to fit your budget and specific needs.
