The Sheraton Sleep Experience has been custom designed to deliver guests a tranquil night's rest — and that Experience begins with the bed. A hybrid innerspring with a luxurious quilted top, the Sheraton Mattress resembles many of the best mattresses we've tested for all sleep styles.

And you don't have to spend a night in a Sheraton hotel to experience this comfort. If you've been asking yourself 'what mattresses do hotels use?' you'll be interested to learn that many hotel beds are available to buy online, including the Sheraton Mattress.

In this guide we'll be exploring just what elements go into making the Sheraton Sleep Experience special and if it's right for you. We've also included some affordable alternatives to the Sheraton Bed, to shop in today's mattress sales.

What mattress does the Sheraton use?

The Sheraton US

The Sheraton mattress has been exclusively crafted for Sheraton hotels. Spend a night at the Sheraton and you'll be sleeping on a hybrid innerspring mattress with a quilted top, a construction similar to many five-star hotel mattresses (such as the Westin Heavenly Bed).

At the core of the Sheraton mattress is a layer of individually wrapped coils. These should offer full-body support and easy movement, while the pocketing means you won't disturb your partner every time you change position (pockets ensure when one spring is moved, it won't bother the others).

Like all the best hybrid mattresses, the Sheraton bed pairs the springs with upper layers of cushioning. A quilted damask cover will provide pressure relief at the touch points — Sheraton describes this as a plush-top.

Measuring 13" high, the Sheraton mattress is on the taller side of mattress thickness. These extra inches are good for bed sharers and side sleepers, but we expect the spring-heavy construction to offer support for back and front sleepers too. Reinforced edge support should keep the sides sturdy, and while Sheraton doesn't mention any specific cooling features, the tall springs should keep air circulating.

At full MSRP, a queen Sheraton hotel bed is $1,995. This is a premium price, but we expect this for a hotel chain (the Hilton mattress is a more affordable hotel bed). Keep in mind there is a three to four week delivery period, and while you get a 10-year warranty there's no sleep trial.

The Sheraton EU & UK

Not based in this US? You can still enjoy Sheraton comfort without having to travel, as the Sheraton mattress is available in most international destinations. The Sheraton EU bed can be delivered to sleepers in Europe and the UK (excluding Russia).

Like the US mattress, the Sheraton EU bed features a pocketed spring base combined with cushioned and quilted comfort layers. The reinforced edges create a durable bed with sag prevention, while Sheraton describes the spring and cushion construction as redefining "the concepts of comfort and sleeping well".

There are some differences between the EU and US bed. For example, the EU bed is slightly shorter, measuring 30cm (roughly 12 inches) high. Shoppers in Europe will also have to deal with an extended delivery period (five to eight weeks) and shorter warranty (five years).

Affordable alternatives to the Sheraton Mattress

The Sheraton hotel bed is a luxurious innerspring hybrid that aims to provide all-round comfort. If you're looking for something similar on a smaller budget, the mattresses below are our top affordable picks for hotel-like comfort.

With a quilted top and pocket spring base, the Signature Hybrid mimics the build of our favorite hotel beds. Our Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid mattress review panel liked the "supportive and bouncy feel", while the variety of firmness options allow it to suit all sleepers. There's always 25% off in the Brooklyn Bedding mattress sale but that often increases to 30% around the major holidays. For a true hotel experience, add the cooling pillow top.

Other Sheraton hotel sleep accessories you can buy

Bundle your mattress with a box spring and bedding set for the full Sheraton bed experience — without leaving your own home.

The Signature Bed & Bedding Set from Sheraton delivers everything you need for the full hotel mattress experience, including box spring, blankets, pillows, pillow protectors, duvet, duvet cover, and fitted sheet.

You can also purchase bedding separately, to add a touch of luxe to your own mattress. The 100% cotton Sheraton Hotel pillowcases start at just $55 at the Sheraton Store.

Should you buy the Sheraton hotel mattress?

Buy the Sheraton Mattress if...

✅ You want traditional hotel comfort: There are many hotel mattresses available but with tall springs, a plush top and a quilted finish, the Sheraton bed does seem like almost the quintessential hotel mattress.

✅ You sleep warm: The Sheraton Mattress features tall, breathable springs and layers of gel-infused foam to create a cooler sleep experience (without the powerful air con you typically find in hotel rooms.)

✅ You want to stretch out: With reinforced coils around the perimeter, the Sheraton Mattress should stay supportive whether you're sleeping in the middle or curled up against the edges. Perfect for starfishing.

Other things to keep in mind

If you find yourself dreaming of a stay in a Sheraton hotel, the Sheraton bed allows you to bring that comfort into your own bedroom. Hotel mattresses like the Sheraton Bed are designed to offer versatile and durable comfort, with a tried-and-tested design.

For this, you can expect a higher price tag. The Sheraton Bed is a premium mattress, but it's competitively priced for a hotel bed — the Four Seasons mattress is almost twice the price.

And the Sheraton bed is comparable to many of the best luxury mattresses. However, the benefits are poor, with no mattress trial and a long delivery period.
