Hotels With Really Soft Beds

[sailaway2000]

Do you have recommendations for Hotels with REALLY REALLY soft beds?

Not just softer than the normal brick hard Thai Mattress, really luxuriously soft by western standards.

My friend will be returning to Chiang Mai in November, has stayed at the Shangri La, Empress etc. so is not afraid to pay decent money for creature comforts. She liked the Shangri La a lot but the beds were still too hard.

Is it possible to rent super soft mattresses?

Any other thoughts?

Thanks

"Do you have recommendations for Hotels with REALLY REALLY soft beds?"

For me, this is an unanswerable question, but if someone comes up with the answer I will be impressed.

It`s not how soft or hard it is, but who`s in there with you that counts.

Well, not strictly true....when someone is in there with you, it matters a lot how soft or hard it is.

Whatever you do , do NOT go to Kantary Hills. Hard beds, and THE MOST uncomfortable couches i have ever sat on.

They have good imported steak though.

Chicken Steak?

lol...the Mignon variety, frying it would be an atrocity.

I think springiness is the key factor. Beds can be hard, but springy.

Which is good, so you don' t have all the kinetic energy instantly absorbed by layers and layers of feathers. There needs to be some bounce-back. Ideally there is a point where the spring elasticity matches the combined weight placed on the surface, so you can get to a feasible frequency to achieve resonance . Hotels really should let you select a mattress on a night by night basis, after doing the math.

I love the Kantary beds! And the lounges are great!

Different strokes I guess...but a really soft bed isn't doing your back any favours.

Can you put that in an easy way I can understand e.g.

Or similar please.

Sure:

The natural frequency of a simple mechanical system consisting of a weight suspended by a spring is:

So this frequency needs to be a sane one; too fast is not achievable, too slow and you fall asleep.

For sure the Four Seasons will have super comfortable mattresses. One can check for sure by emailing them. I also believe that the Meridian has comfortable beds.

Different strokes I guess...but a really soft bed isn't doing your back any favours.

Those couches are square blocks, i cannot see how anyone could find them comfortable. The position is too upright for me.

Le Meridien Chiang Mai. Beds are very soft..

Have you not stayed in the deluxe top notch room there then as i thought it was really soft for a bed in thailand i was pleasantly surprised .

My mate who visits once a year for 3-4 weeks swears by the beds at the Montien, Thaipe Gate inside of moat, as being very confortable.

Well within your friends price range.

Had some relatives in town that got 2 rooms, the 2 bedroom with living room & kitchen ...and a 1 bedroom, both beds were the same and the couches were both cubes.

I'll have to agree with that.

Find him a really soft lady, problem solved.

[KRS1]

A soft lady with two big soft pillows is hard to find in CNX.

I had hoped this discussion of Hotels with 'soft' mattresses would remain the serious topic it is for the woman arriving soon and who had NOT had good experiences with the 'better hotels' she's stayed at previously.

So Please!!!, if you have positive (or negative) hotel suggestions, please post them, they are appreciated.

If not........stuff it where the light don't shine. Understand?

Thanks
