How to make a hotel mattress more comfortable

Whether you’re traveling for work or pleasure, there is nothing worse than ending up in an uncomfortable hotel bed.  

The mattress is too lumpy, or too hard, or too bouncy, or too anything but comfortable. So, what do you do to make the most of your stay?

The hotel mattress is sagging

You can add support to your hotel mattress by sliding something underneath it, such as extra pillows and blankets that hotels stash away.

You can also request a rollaway bed and place its lightweight mattress on top of your bed, doubling up the cushioning.

The hotel mattress is too hard

Start by asking for some extra comforters and have housekeeping place them on top of your mattress but underneath the sheet.

As an alternative, Mattress Insider has a specially designed 1″ memory foam mattress topper that can be rolled up for easy transport and travel.

Situation still bad anyway?

If you can’t get the mattress to your liking, then don’t be afraid to ask to be moved to a new room. Then, make sure someone shows you the new room and you try the bed before you agree to the switch! 

A happy customer is a return customer, so don’t be bashful when it comes to making sure your accommodations are to your liking.
