We are confident that it will exceed the expectations of both loyal and future Westin guests across the globe and again raise the bar for the comfort of our guests.”

The original Heavenly Bed, launched in 1999, quickly became synonymous with unparalleled comfort, setting the standard for hotel bedding worldwide. Its success has not only transformed the way travelers perceive sleep during their hotel stays but has also sparked a trend in bringing the hotel sleep experience home, with over 500,000 Heavenly Beds sold to date.

Now, building on this legacy, Westin has embarked on a journey to elevate the sleep experience even further. The next-generation Heavenly Bed features a modern design and upgraded materials, including hypoallergenic components and temperature-regulating features, ensuring guests enjoy a cool and comfortable night's sleep.

In addition to its physical enhancements, the new Heavenly Bed embodies Westin's commitment to holistic wellness. Through its Six Pillars of Well-Being – Sleep Well, Eat Well, Move Well, Feel Well, Work Well, and Play Well – Westin aims to provide guests with an all-encompassing wellness experience.
