Luxury Bedding Manufacturer United Feather & Down Discusses Top Trends in Hospitality Bedding For 2009 and Beyond

United Feather & Down's Stephen Palmer discusses trends in hospitality bedding today.

Des Plaines, IL (PRWEB) May 21, 2009 -- According to the May 2009 issue of LODGING magazine, hotels of every scale are working to upgrade their bedding based on hotel guests' desires. In an article entitled "A Better Night's Sleep," author and editor Len Vermillion spoke with leaders in the mattress and bedding industries, including Stephen Palmer of top hospitality bedding supplier United Feather & Down, to find out what trends are occurring in hotel bedding today.

Palmer, United Feather & Down co-president and the seventh generation of family to run the company, feels that the hotel industry has recognized the value of quality bedding and how important it is to guests, even at the economy level. He notes that more moderately priced properties are recognizing how important bedding is for their guests and noticing the payback in guest satisfaction from the minimal investment of bedding upgrades.

Palmer also sees an upswing in sustainable and organic bedding products, pointing out that although hypoallergenic bedding products have already become a staple of the industry, over the last few years hotels have been taking the commitment to sustainability one step further by purchasing the more eco-friendly fillings, fabrics and products available.

"Hoteliers today are truly seeing the impact that being 'eco-friendly' has on their revenue, and I predict that the commitment to being environmentally aware will continue for the time being," said Palmer.
