[updated discount] 40% off W hotel's Heavenly Bed equivalent!

I remember that thread! I missed the sale that time -- I took too long to decide. I am glad I got it yesterday because this price is better and there is no shipping. I just received the confirmation email. They said it will take about 3 weeks to receive. There is "white glove" delivery included with the purchase which means free take away of old mattress (if I want) and free set up of new one.

I can't ask for more! :cheer:

Katherine
I sooooo hope they take away my old one....it is not an easy task to get those puppies down the stairs.
 
We have been close to buying this bed as this deal regularly shows up on "fatwallet.com" for the past 18 months.

Most of the reviews have been positive, but the consensus on that site is that this bed is the one in "W" hotels and is not exactly the same as the Westin Heavenly bed.

We have not pulled the trigger because this bed is non-returnable & we have not stayed in a "W" hotel ever; the price is attractive & they do not charge sales tax either & will also dispose the old bed for no additional charge.

The delivery time is supposed to be 1 week in metro areas as these are shipped from the local 1-800-mattress locations.

I could not find any reference on the W-Hotels Store website regarding the free disposal of the old bed. Did you get this information from Customer Service?

Thanks!

IT came with my confirmation email:

"The standard delivery time for your area is 2-3 weeks. When the mattress is
ready for delivery, you will get a call from the delivery company to
schedule a time that is convenient to you. Also included with the purchase
of the bed is our White Glove Service. This includes the set up of your new
bed and the disposal, if you wish, of your old bed and all packing
materials."

He has posted he is a Starwood employee

Was a Starwood employee! But you are correct. They had a number of them in storage that were used to setup displays at the Westin Grand Bohemian (downtown Orlando, FL) which is no longer a Westin Hotel :bawl:

I loved the hotel because I would stay there whenever a good concert came to town....$69/nt plus taxes was also a great deal!

GrayFal, I would assume that they will NOT take away your old one. Have you heard of FreeCycle? It is a news group through Yahoo that allows you to post free items to members in your area. I am sure there would be someone that could use a bed or an extra one.
 
I received a call this morning at 7:00 am saying they could deliver today or Tuesday afternoon....I asked if they took away the old mattress for free and they said yes, they do and it goes to a recycle place!!!!! Woo Hoo....was wondering what I would do with it. I'm sure the dog would have LOVED it.LOL
 
Oh my that was fast!! I hope you write a review after your first night! ;)

I guess San Diego is not considered a major metropolitan city because they tell me 2-3 weeks. Patience -- wish I acquired that virtue sometime in the past.... :shrug:

Arriving on Monday!

They called me few times this week, but I was not unable. They are delivering now on Monday!
 
I'm also thinking of getting the W Hotel bed. I am considering the plush top with the feather bed and protector. I copied the following from another website:

Q: What is the difference between the two Heavenly Beds being offered?
A: To answer this question, lets first start with a bit of history so in case you draw upon any personal experience with any of our beds, you can better understand what is being offered here and now.

The Heavenly Beds installed in our Westin Hotels right now are from two different generations. The majority of Westin Hotels have the original Beautyrest® bed from Simmons, equipped with a two-sided pillow top mattress, circa 1999 -2001. These particular mattresses are characteristically known to feel springy with a soft pillow top underneath and a medium-soft supporting foundation. The mattress height is 10.5" with a foundation (box spring) of 7.0". Given this is a two sided mattress, during its normal lifespan it requires a quarterly rotation (just like your car tires, this keeps the bed evenly worn). As wonderful as these beds are, they are no longer available as bed technology has changed.

The next generation of Heavenly Beds appeared circa 2001-2005. These mattresses have a taller profile height of 12.5" and taller foundation of 8.75". With new technology in fabrication and construction, these beds are single-sided, which basically means no rotation is required during its normal life. Their comfort zone is soft to firm. Soft being right under your immediate backside (2 - 3" inches deep) from the top side (pillow top), to firm support from the individual coil pocketed construction underneath. Both, the original Heavenly Bed and this newer model have hotel fire retardant ticking otherwise deeming these beds as commercial products. This model is one of the two Heavenly Beds available for purchase in this program.

In 2005 the Retail ~ Heavenly Bed joined the family of Westin beds. This model is purely a retail bed not found in our hotels, however it is made available for associate purchase. Designed for a very discerning customer, this model provides that residential look and feel for the home application. In a recently formed partnership with the Nordstrom Department Store, along with Hotels@Home, Westin sells thousands of these beds to our guests. This particular mattress has additional foam layering in the pillow top bringing the total profile height up to 13.25", while the foundation remains at 8.75". The fabric (ticking) is upgraded to a residential design with a softer hand, which clearly distinguishes it from the hotel / commercial versions in our hotels. Aside from the new profile height, its ticking and retail emblem these beds are of similar construction and specification of the popular single-sided hotel mattress. This particular Heavenly Bed proudly displays a beautifully designed Heavenly Bed Emblem at the foot of the bed. Perfect for a little show and tell with your friends.

Q: What is the difference between the Heavenly Beds and the W Hotel bed?
A: The three available beds from Simmons are all Beautyrest models. The difference (besides what is noted in the previous question) is not performance, but layers....in that the two Heavenly Beds are pillow top applications, whereas the W Hotel bed is not. They all have individual coil pocketed construction and single sided, no flip technology. All three beds are simply great beds, but for you, it will be a matter of much softness your back prefers. Read question # 5, which may help your decision.

Q: What is the difference between the Sheraton Sweet Sleeper and the Four Points by Sheraton ~ Four Comfort Bed?
A: The simple answer is nothing more than the label representing the two different brands. These two beds are identical with the exception of their individual branded soft goods package they use (e.g. ensembles: duvet, pillows and blankets - each sold separately by Hotels@Home).

Q: Are these the same beds found in the department stores?
A: Yes and No. Not to make things more difficult to understand, both manufacturers offer similar retail product in stores. Simmons has their successful Beautyrest line, while Sealy has the highly regarded Posturepedic line. Outside of the purpose built Heavenly Bed (at Nordstrom), you may find similarities to the retail products. Although, our beds do have some slight differences from coil counts, fabric ticking, profile height and construction, designed to meet our custom criteria in beds. This fact does not necessarily make one bed better or worst, just different.

Q: Which bed is better (Westin / Sheraton / Four Points / W Hotel)?
A: Of all the questions, this is the most difficult to answer. Being mindful of the fact we think all our beds are great, this question and answer becomes subjective. It really depends more upon your personal sleeping habit and need. In other words "what is good for me may not be good for you". To define the comfort of these beds, I often use a non-scientific judgment. Basically taking into account what your back might feel laying on the mattress (facing up) for the first 2-3" inches of mattress depth, and then what support lies thereafter. Avoid getting too technical on count coils, type, gage, layers, thickness, and materials... while they are all important, Starwood already made sure we had enough of everything important in our beds. What is really important is how you feel on the bed. The best approach is for you to personally test the bed when staying at one of our hotels, if possible. If not, then for what its worth use my simple rating. Caution...remember my opinion is subjective!

RATING: Topside: first 2" - 3" / Support: in mattress (box spring is considered here as well)

Westin Heavenly Bed - Original Two Side Mattress / Pillow top (No longer available)
Rating: Soft Topside, Medium-Soft Support (almost to the point of being springy)

Westin Heavenly Bed - Single Sided Hotel Commercial Version / Pillow top

W Hotel Bed - Original Two Sided Mattress / Plush Top (No longer available)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Once and for all:

Plush Bed + Featherbed topper = The beds they use at W Hotels
Pillowtop Bed = The beds they use at Westin Hotels (a.k.a. the "heavenly bed")

Westin's Break down of the Heavenly Bed
The all-white Westin Heavenly Bed consists of:

- A custom-designed pillowtop mattress set by Simmons with 900 individual coils; (Pillowtop Bed)
- Three sheets - ranging in thread count from 180 to 250;
- A down blanket - three versions for three different climates;
- A comforter and a crisp white duvet; Five goosedown/goose feather pillows.
 
I can't believe I'm the first one to say this, but Kath - I beg you - RESCIND as soon as possible and buy this bed resale! The minute you first sleep on it, the value will go down by another 40-50%. Resale purchaser may no longer be able to stay at Starwood hotels, but we can have sleepovers at eachother's homes; isn't that better than paying retail?:D

Seriously, information like this is usually available on FlyerTalk. Bought our W bed about 18 months ago and we love it. We have a platform so we also just bought the mattress. Since then we've bought two more and are about to buy the last one - kids are all grown and then need a bigger bed when they come to visit with their families. I've never seen a deal better than 40% off so you did well.

Each delivery has been at night and each time it seemed like the drivers didn't stop delivering until 11 PM!

Of course, you're all probably wondering why, if the bed is so good, I'm up at 3 AM?!
 
GrayFal, I would assume that they will NOT take away your old one. Have you heard of FreeCycle? It is a news group through Yahoo that allows you to post free items to members in your area. I am sure there would be someone that could use a bed or an extra one.

My bed is being delivered TODAY :banana: by 1-800-mattress - they will take away the old bed and set up the new one..... :cheer:
 
Got my sheets!!! They are heavenly! I got the sheet, pillowcases and 2 duvets in a cream color. Softer than any other sheets I have had. If it is still on sale and free to ship I would recommend them!!

I also got towels from them but I am not as impressed. The beige has a pinkinsh tinge. Yuck. They are soft but not as soft as my towels from Macy's. I think if there was an easy way, I would return them. Especially because of the color. :eek:

No word about my bed yet. Pat, let us know how yours is!!!

W vs. Westin Bed

We love the Westin Heavenly bed. Never stayed at a W. We need a new bed. Anyone out there who has sleep on both?? Can you tell a difference??

Do your sheets have a name??? I noticed there are several on sale so hard to tell which ones you purchased.

Also, I got my bed today too! I laid down on it when the guy left and remembered why I loved the resort in Phoenix!!! and they took away my mattress for free too!!

I think I'm tired now and need to go to bed!!! will report back tomorrow!
 
Roadsister, you better wake up refreshed enough to write a full review! You too Pat! Here is what I ordered. I am snuggling under the duvet cover as I type this. Awesome!!! Like I said, the towels -- not so great. But the bath sheet is HUGE.

Wanted this badly and cant help myself from watching for user reviews...but couldnt justify a new mattress at this point. Instead, I've ordered a cloud 9 - 4 inch memory foam topper if anyone is interested...cause justifiable or not..I hate my mattress. ($135 including shipping) Should get it in a week or so.
 
We LOVE our Memory Foam topper!
 
Promo Code

Does anyone have a PROMOTIONAL CODE that hasn't expired. I'm desperate for a Heavenly bed but can't come to terms with the 1,500 dollar price tag.
