i do! i am a chronic insomniac but if i am on a trip i usually get so tired of being in the car that ANYTHING feels great and i usually sleep like a baby in hotel rooms.. i always heard of people complaining in the past about the quality of the beds but i never have a problem..
how well do you sleep on them? do you think is the traveling that helps you sleep well on them since your so tired or do you think that hotels are slowly putting more money into getting better beds so that that is a thing of the past?

I generally sleep well on any bed except if the bed is a KILLER! Haha~!
Like the one when my wife & I went to a friend's place & it seems that the mattress was old & the spring was protruding irregularly, haha!~
We had backaches after sleeping on that!~

i wonder if we just have something in our home environment that is making us insomniacs since i would think if we were at home we would be everywhere

yeah i think so. hotel beds seems to be rather good these days and the comforter is sooo comfy and warm that i could just sleep in all day.

If I'm on a vacation, and there are lots of walking and activities that tire me out, then I will sleep like a log. But if it's a business trip, I just can't get to sleep well. However if the business trip is more than 2 days, I will definitely sleep on the third day or so - too exhausted by then.

My husband and I don't sleep much in hotel/motel beds. LOL Here at home our place is so tiny we can't even have a double bed, so he is on the couch, and I'm in my old single bed. So needless to say, when we get somewhere with a bed that is big enough for two, we don't do much "sleeping" if you get my drift!

If the beds are good and clean in the hotel room, i can sleep well for hours.I will check beds and toilets when i check into the hotel room first because we will go to hotel for relaxing after many hours of work,traveling or something else.We should be provided quality of services by them.Usually when i go out and spend lots of hours out traveling or site seeing ,i will become tired and get sleep so easily than normal i do.I never had a problem till now,Happy mylotting..

most of the time i don't have any problem sleeping in hotel beds especially if it's a nice hotel with beds more comfortable than my own :) but i have also slept in cheap motels with bad beds with not too many problems. i think you're right traveling makes me tired and i sleep well when i'm tired. one time though, i stayed in a nice hotel for a conference and i couldn't sleep the first night. not sure why.

i think the only time it was hard for me to sleep in a hotel was when there was shooting going on in the parking lot and lucky me had a room facing it lol

we always booked earlier so that we can get the favorites room number and they knew it since we are more than 9 yrs of their costumer

Earlier I found it quite uncomfortable to sleep in the hotel rooms. I was sort of occupied that those could be carrying germs and all. Bur now I am ok. Though in most cases you do not have a quick nap but you slowly get used to it and sleep your way.

But most of the good hotels maintain hygiene. Just think a couple of days back or just before you took over the bed there was a TB patient loving for several days and you know how active and dangerous are the TB germs. lol

I have always found hotel or motel beds to be very comfortable. They have high quality sheets, the blankets are soft, the mattresses are very comfortable, and the pillows are great.

Yes they definitely are. And you don't have to punch them to make them fluffy, lol. Next time ask them if you could buy a couple of pillows, or if they know where you can purchase some like them.

Yes, I do…I’m the opposite of you that is to say I can sleep like a horse…standing up at the bus-stand even! I love sleeping, in fact its one of the few things I enjoy in life and whenever I am traveling, I am just like a child…forever excited about everything right from the road to bus/train, the hotel, the rooms, the bed, the food …nothing fails to catch my fancy. And when I am in a good mood I sleep soundly.

I think the beds in hotels are much better now than they were a few years ago! The last few places I stayed at had these awesome matteress that put me right to sleep as soon as i hit the bed...and the pillows are getting better as well =)

I am the opposite. We came to Orlando yesterday, and I was awake most of the night. I never sleep well in a strange bed.
We bought a new bed recently that is adjustable, and has 'zero gravity' for sleeping. It is wonderful, and I miss it so much.
