Slumberland do the same thing - indeed many of the same names are there.
...which leads to an interesting question, I think.Earlier posters have stressed, correctly, the need for a mattress to be comfortable over an extended period. I wonder if in some way the fact that these are designed for primarily single night stays might have some effect on long-term comfort (squashy and "comfy" vs long-term supportive).
I'm overthinking this, aren't I?

I wonder how long a hotel keeps it's mattresses? Do they replace them every year (which would lead to a bit of an old mattress mountain) or make them go on for several years.I'm overthinking this, aren't I?

Well a quality item should last 10 years in a domestic environment.Presumably hotel ones have a lower occupancy rate, but perhaps a harder life, so all things being equal, perhaps much the same.

There is no mattress mountain as they are recyclable. There are also some cowboys out there who are recovering them and selling on as new....Reminds me of a book I once read; 'Rusty bed springs' by IP Nightly.

Just wanted to bring this thread back to life.
I've decided to buy a hypnos pocket sprung mattress & divan in SUPER king size from premier Inn...
WARNING ALL! I've bumped an old thread to ask a question about one of the replies. I've decided to buy a hypnos pocket sprung mattress & divan in SUPER king size from premier Inn...
I've signed up to PistonHeads just to reply to this, because you are the ONLY person I've found on the entire interwebs who has actually bought one of the Hynos Premier Inn beds!
How is it?
We're thinking of getting one. I would never normally buy a mattress without trying it in a shop first, even though you can't really tell what a whole night will be like based on a 10 minute lie-down. I'm happy to pay for a Premier Inn room so we can do a proper test drive! I've already emailed them and they've confirmed that the one you get is exactly the same as the ones in the hotels (ie they're not making a domestic version for this offer or anything).
So anyway, how are you getting on with it?

I bought a hypnos pocket sprung mattress and a hypnos latex pillow late last year.
Initial thoughts on the mattress was that it was not quite right, but longer term the comfort has been great and i'm happy with it.
I'm especially pleased with the pillow, I had been through numerous pillows over the last 2 years and they were either too soft, too hard or needed constant re fluffing. The hypnos pillow is supportive but not too hard or soft and doesn't need refluffing at night or get too hot like previous ones. Its also really good if you are a side sleeper as it supports the head just right.
together they have really improved my sleeping experience

£299 for a Travelodge double seems good, I've already test driven one un-intentionally the other month and it was great.
I am also looking at the premier inn bed, however I will probably go for a Marriott mattress instead. The premier inn bed has a built in mattress topper, whereas the Marriott does not. They are both Hypnos and my personal preference would be one without a built in mattress topper.
I have stayed in Premier Inns plenty of times and the beds are comfortable.

We bought an 'orthopaedic' Hypnos mattress with a new bed in 1998. It is still as firm and comfortable as the day we bought it. I agree with the earlier comment about the weight though, we flip ours regularly and busted poopstrings are usually the result!I have stayed in Premier Inns plenty of times and the beds are comfortable.
The main difference from our old bed was that while we wallowed in the old one, we laid on top of the new one - it felt weird at first but it is truly great. What's more one turning over barely moves the other's side at all.

Whilst one shouldn't 'wallow' one should sink slightly and certainly not be on top of the mattress.

It should feel like your feet are slightly raised above your torso.
