What are the most important aspects that hotels should take into consideration before selecting beddings and mattresses?
A good quality mattress is important for any hotel, since it would probably use this for at least five to 10 years. In India, we have a range of mattresses like coir, spring, pocketed spring, foam, etc. In recent times, luxurious foam and latex mattresses have become a hit. But most of the hotels use spring mattresses now.
