Investing in Wellness?

CREATE
A GUEST
SANCTUARY
UEST WELLNESS
continues to be a
hot trend in the
hospitality industry
- and sleep is certainly a
big factor in that equation.
Experts continue to stress
the importance of getting
the required amount of
sleep in order to avoid
serious health issues down
the road. But nowhere is
the need for a good night's
sleep more important than
when you're away from
home. Your productivity and
performance suffer when
sleep suffers. Period.

Certainly, given the number of factors
outside of a hotel's control, designing a
guest room that rivals a home bedroom
is a challenging proposition. However,
there are a number of details - many
fairly cost effective - that could go a long
way to ensuring guests have a restful,

comfortable night's sleep when they are
away from home.
HERE'S A FEW IDEAS:

The Bed
The bed remains the heart of the
guestroom and a key investment toward
achieving your guest sleep experience
goals. Hospitality sleep solutions are
different by design because they have
to be. They have to stand up to years of
guest use - and abuse. At Beautyrest
Hospitality, our sleep technologies are
designed to be commercial-grade, so
they provide reliable performance and
durability. Innovative fabrics, foams and
our exclusive Beautyrest® Pocketed
Coil®, deliver a cool, comfortable and
brand-deﬁning sleep experience every
night and every stay. Our products also
include exceptional warranties and are
backed by responsive customer service
to minimize business disruptions.

Room Lighting
The effects of too much screen time on
sleep are well documented. And while
that's not something a hotel can hope to
impact, they can look at creating smart

room solutions that improve the guest
experience. For example, sensor-based
technology can be used to immediately
dim lights when a guest uses their keycard
to access their room, establishing a
calming, tranquil environment. The same
system can also light a guest's way in
the dark to the bathroom and simulate
sunrise in the morning to allow him or her
to awaken refreshed and ready to take on
the day.

Connected Sleep
Connected sleep and all its potential
beneﬁts is certainly on the horizon and
squarely in our sights as an industry
leading sleep solutions company. Given
the amount of time a person spends
asleep - a third of our life! - imagine
what a connected bed could do and
learn about you? One that adapts to you,
your sleep environment - whether at
home or in a hotel of your choice - and
works in harmony with other connected
devices to deliver the best sleep and
recovery possible. A connected sleep
system could track not only how you
sleep, but also your heart rate and
potentially other biomarkers, all while
remaining hidden (no device
to wear).

THE SENSOR TECHNOLOGY EXISTS NOW FOR HOTELS TO CREATE A TRULY PERSONALIZED, INNOVATIVE GUEST SLEEP
EXPERIENCE. ARE YOU READY TO TAKE YOURS TO THE NEXT LEVEL? CONTACT US TODAY AT 877.HTL.BEDS.
