LUXURY - For travellers who need a good bed for a good night’s sleep, travel guidebook publisher Luxe City Guides has come up with a list of seven of the top hotel beds around the world. Read about five of the top here and check out the rest at luxecityguides.com.1. The Bowery Hotel, New York
The Bowery Hotel’s custom-built American-style wooden beds look as plump and comfy as they feel. Serta mattresses are enveloped in custom 400 count Egyptian cotton sheets, plus down duvets, two firm and two soft down pillows or, if you’re sensitive, a choice of hypoallergenic pillows and duvets. Leave the curtains open for views of the Manhattan skyline.
2. The Setai, Miami
With its 700 count sateen cotton treats from Christian Fischbacher of Switzerland, Dux beds with a six-centimetre latex top pad and a choice of down, feather or hypoallergenic handmade pillows from Singaporean company Ploh, it’s hard not sleep. Wake up with the views of the sunrise over the Atlantic.
3. Sofitel Watertower, Chicago
The trademarked SoBed sleep system is actually a Serta mattress topped by a Pacific Coast featherbed and duvet, custom 250 count linen and foam and feather pillows. If you can’t live without it, you can buy one through the hotel.
4. Hollywood Roosevelt, Los Angeles
After a night at LA’s notorious party pad, you can sleep between custom 400 count sateen Sferra linens on a Sealy Palatial Crest Cushion with squishy pillow top, and 26″ square goose down pillows (hypoallergenic upon request).
5. The Connaught, London
Sleep on the hotel’s own signature Maybourne Deluxe barrel-shaped pocket spring mattress, with a poly-fibre pillow top, own brand 50/50 feather and down pillows and lovely Rivolta Carmignani 300 thread count cotton sheets.
