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. You can, in fact, bring it to your own bedroom. If you've been asking yourself 'what mattresses do hotels use?' you'll be interested to learn that many hotel beds, including the Sheraton Mattress, are available to buy online.

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.

1. DreamCloud Classic Hybrid Mattress (queen): $699 at DreamCloud
The quality of the DreamCloud Hybrid mattress punches way above its price point. It scores highly across the board in our DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress review and our team praised the luxurious feel of this mid-range bed. Although side sleepers might need to break it in, it appeals to a wide range of sleep styles. Consistent DreamCloud mattress sales reduce a queen to $699 and the bed comes with a 365-night trial and forever warranty. We think that's unbeatable value on a bed that gives even the Sherton a run for its money.

2. Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid mattress (queen): was $1,332 now $999 at Brooklyn Bedding
With a quilted pillow top and responsive coil system, the Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid mattress mimics the build of our favorite hotel beds, but with a more affordable price tag attached. Our lead reviewer liked the "gentle hugging feel" and slept comfortably cool on the CopperFlex. There's always 25% off in the Brooklyn Bedding mattress sale reducing prices to start from just $699, and that often increases to 30% off around major holidays like Black Friday.

3. Helix Midnight Mattress (queen): was $1,332 now $1,009 at Helix
Designed for side sleepers, our Helix Midnight Mattress review team praised the plush support of this mid-range hybrid. They say it feels "soft and cushy to press on, but firmer and surprisingly supportive when laid down" — in other words, it offers an ideal balance of pressure relief and spinal support. Add the GlacioTex pillow top for $299 if you want that ultra plush, cooling feel. Or, for a true hotel experience, consider upgrading to the Helix Midnight Luxe mattress ($ for a queen), which our testing panel agree is the very best mattress for side sleepers you can buy online this year. Yet the core Helix Midnight is an affordable option in the regular Helix mattress sales which typically cut at least 20% off MSRP.

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.
