Premier Inn, the UK’s biggest hotel company, has switched bed supplier.
It has appointed Silentnight as its official bed supplier. The new partnership represents a significant financial investment for Premier Inn and will see tens of thousands of new and exclusive enhanced-specification beds roll out in hotels across the UK, Ireland Germany and the UAE from October after a two-year tender process.
The bed features a Geltex comfort layer and a zippable, removable topper. The chain says this supports its Force for Good sustainability agenda. Composite bed parts are 92% recyclable.
‘Our new enhanced specification mattresses represent a significant financial investment we are making into our new bed roll out across our 80,000 plus bed estate as beds reach their [end] life and we open new properties,’ says Tamara Strauss, Premier Inn global brand director.
‘Our new improved beds have been rigorously tested and refined in response to evolving insight over the course of the past two years. In research our guests loved them, and we can’t wait to begin rolling them out in our 800+ hotels in the UK, Ireland, Germany and the UAE from October. We’d like to say a massive thank you to all the teams in trial sites across the UK who have worked with alongside us – we couldn’t do it without you.’
People will also be able to buy the new bed online.
The existing Premier Inn model manufactured by Hypnos is still available to buy through the hotel chain.
