Hotel Bed Wars...

There has been a "Bed War" among Hotel Chains since the 1990's, hotel beds are no longer just a mattress, sheets, and bedspreads. They have started adding more pillows bit functional and decorative and elaborate bedspreads. While some people like the luxuriousness of the multiple layers and many pillows, some customers would be happier if the chains offered free internet access.
The Marriot Hotel chains have introduced beds with 300-thread count sheets, a feathered mattress topper, stylish pillow shams, and a decorative bed scarf and extra pillows. This may be very appealing to the eye, but not the wallet. If the price of a hotel room increases too much do to the new "luxurious bedding" I believe it will have a negative impact upon the sales of hotel rooms. Espically if all a consumer wants is a place to sleep, nothing more, nothing less.
As which would happen with the announcement by Hilton Hotels of a 1 BILLION dollar effort to add the "Serenity Bed" to its properties, which includes a high-end mattress pad, down pillows, linens, decorative bed pillows and bolsters. This effort made by the Hilton Corp most definatly increase the overall costs of rooms with in the Hilton family of hotels.
