| Full Foam for Days Inn Hotel |
A lot of Hotels experimented with full foam mattresses in the early nineties. When they did they
pleasantly discovered that guests actually noticed and commented on how comfortable and relaxing
the mattresses were.
After investigating every type of bed the Days Inn selected three sleep set models to test in their
Sarnia location. The research wasn't particularly scientific; they merely recorded the comments of a number
of regular guests that were asked to grade each model. Their choice, based primarily on nothing more than a
comfortable night's sleep, was full foam. Based on the research and the overwhelming response by their guests,
the Hotel changed all their beds to full foam mattresses and has not looked at conventional spring mattresses
since. They were not the only ones, once word got around, customers who have slept on foam specifically ask
for a full foam mattress when they make their reservations. Similarly, people who have slept on foam in a
Hotel are coming to us and replacing their mattress at home with a full foam sleep system. That is why full
foam is the fastest growing sleep surface.

HOTELS ARE CHOOSING FOAM
A comfortable, relaxed sleep
is a must for building a solid
repeat customer base
|
The staff at hotels also gives full foam full marks. They are light weight, which makes handling much
easier. Foam is also quieter than spring mattresses because they have no moving parts. They can be folded and
carried without deforming or ruining the shape of the mattress. Waterproof mattress pads are removable and easily cleaned. They protect the mattress cover from dust mites and provide each guest with a clean and healthy
night's sleep.

Foam Goes to Hospital
It is not uncommon to hear that hospital and nursing home mattresses are less than comfortable.
But now there are indications that these complaints could be more serious than a little short term patient
discomfort. Along with suggestions that a relaxed sleep speeds healing and recovery, decubitus ulcers, more
commonly known as bedsores, have become a bewildering and costly, healthcare concern.

| Foam Overlays are Popular
|
|
Foam overlays, a two to three inch thick pad of traditional "eggcrate" convolute, were the most popular solution
until memory foam arrived on the scene. Although convolute is still widely used,
it is the memory foam toppers
that have been proven as a better alternative that provide patients with comfort and reduce pressure oriented
sores.

Full Foam Increasing
|
|
Many hospitals are now opting for full foam mattresses. They are seen as a more comfortable, pressure-relief
product that bridges the gap between the traditional mattress and the more expensive specialty air beds required
for burn victims and patients with severe or multiple wounds. As well, foam is ideally suited to meet the
adjustable action required in hospital and nursing homes. |
