    World's top 7 hotel beds

    SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - 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 7 of the top hotel beds around the world.

    This list is compiled by Luxe City Guides' (www.luxecityguides.com) editorial team and is not endorsed by Reuters.


    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 hypo allergenic pillows and duvets. Leave the curtains open for views of the twinkly Manhattan skyline.

    2. The Setai, Miami

    With its 700 count sateen cotton treats from Christian Fischbacher of Switzerland, Dux beds with a 2.5 inch latex top pad and a choice of down, feather or hypo allergenic 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 stand another night without a SoBed, 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 pillowtop, and 26" square goose down pillows (hypo-allergenic upon request).

    5. The Connaught, London

    Sleep on the hotel's own signature Maybourne Deluxe barrel-shaped pocket spring mattress, with a poly-fiber pillow top, own brand 50/50 feather and down pillows and lovely Rivolta Carmignani 300 thread count cotton sheets. The window shades block out light completely and just add private butler and Asprey Purple Water toiletries for absolute luxury.

    6. Park Hyatt, Sydney

    Lie on an oversized Sealy Hyatt Grand Pillow Top king with 50 percent down and 50 percent feather pillows, snuggling under a cozy down and feather duvet and Australian 'Royal Collection' 300 thread count linens. Wake to a view of the iconic Sydney Opera House and the dazzling harbour.

    7. JIA, Shanghai

    The bed is Sealy Hotel Luxury Pillow Top, the linen 300 count, the pillows a choice of soft or firm feather and down or hypo allergenic and the duvets 80 percent down, but what makes JIA Shanghai really sleepworthy are extras such as eye shades, ear plugs, aromatherapy oils and even electronic lullaby tunes. If you're in a suite, you can even have a crackling fire DVD.
    Sigh...I didn't have the opportunity to stay in any of those.

      I will take this as seriously as I will take the Skytrax ranking.

      I have never stayed at all the hotels but the Park Hyatt Sydney at the end of 2007. Seriously, I don't believe it deserves to be called one of the best. The room looked really tired and small and the bed at least the one in my room really did not feel that comfortable. The only thing that Park Hyatt Sydney has is its location on the Sydney harbor.

        I concur with UMD's opinion. After a recent stay at the Setai in Miami, I must say that to call it one of the best is extremely exaggerated. For me at least, the bed didn't feel special or anything. Let alone the hotel.
        Sleep-wise there are much better hotels, like the Dolder Grand, Zurich or the Ritz, Paris.
        You are not, who you are, you are who you want to be.

          Probably one of the best sleeps I ever had was at the Taj Exotica Resort and Spa, Maldives.

          They use bedding materials from Ploh Singapore. I'm now looking into perhaps getting at least their mattress and pillows for my own place.
