Anyone who travels a lot for work or on vacation is familiar with checking into hotels. It is always a surprise- sometimes a disappointing one- when you finally get to see the room that you booked. While some hotel rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable, others can be smoky, tiny and drab.

The one feature of a hotel room that can really make or break your experience is the bed. Hotel beds can be notoriously uncomfortable and lumpy, especially the traditional spring or coil beds. Many hotels buy regular cheap coil mattresses and try to use them for as long as possible. Spring, or coil, mattresses, use corkscrewed wire as the internal support. As the body rests on the coils, they push back against the body and can cause uncomfortable pressure points which can lead to lack of sleep and soreness in the morning. Over time, the coils wear and do not spring back as much, allowing you to slump into the mattress in a shapeless lump. Without any support of your back and neck, you muscles try to compensate by holding their position. This also leads to restless sleep and a stiff back and neck.

It is impossible to know the condition of your hotel room mattress before you enter your room for the first time. If you ask at the front desk what the age of the mattress is when you book your room, you will likely be met with silence and perhaps rolling eyes. Sometimes it is possible to change rooms, but you may well be stuck with the mattress you have.

There is another common issue with hotel mattresses that is not often discussed and that most people do not want to contemplate- bed bugs. Bed bugs live in dark places and thrive in mattresses, emerging to draw blood from victims unlucky enough to be occupying an infected bed. Bed bugs were all but eradicated from the United States 50 years ago but have made a nasty resurgence since then. Hotels are bed bug hotspots and once a hotel has some come in with an unsuspecting host, it is very difficult to get rid of them.

Fortunately, there is a solution to all of these hotel mattress problems. Memory foam mattresses provide superior back and neck support compared to spring or coil mattresses. The NASA-formulated foam supports all of the curves of the body and keeps the spine in alignment, creating the perfect environment for sleep. And bed bugs cannot live in or around the memory foam, ensuring a bug-free night of sleep. A hotel that has switched all of its mattresses over to memory foam cannot sustain a bed bug population, which is a relief to guests.

Many hotels have switched over to using memory foam mattresses in order to improve the comfort of their guests. Finding a hotel that has done so is relatively easy, as most will advertise the fact as a feature of their hotel. Spending time upfront to find a hotel with memory foam mattresses will pay off in the long run with better uninterrupted sleep.
