Is your bed warm enough for you, sir?

Now, we go on a lot about the importance of making sure your food is warm all the way through before eating or serving it – and it’s only because we care! But I never thought we would discuss the significance of a warm bed……

Apparently, the Holiday Inn, London Kensington is going to provide a human bed warming service to guests. A little odd, but bear with me. If a guest requests the service, then a member of staff will adorn an all-in-one sleeper suit and jump into your bed until it is suitably warm – approximately 20 to 24°C.

To be honest, I am not overly enamoured with the idea. I can understand the concept that people get a better night’s sleep in a warm bed. But, I’m not sure that I like the idea of a stranger being in my hotel bed before I use it – that would definitely hinder my night’s rest. And, I haven’t even begun to think about the health and safety implications.

Perhaps I am over thinking it, what do you think? Would you use the bed warming service?
