Hotel bosses hoping innovation is a rest-assured hit
Bosses at Britain’s biggest hotel chain are hoping they can rest assured its latest innovation will prove a hit with people wanting some quality shut-eye across the UK.
For the first time in its history Premier Inn, the budget hotel company famous for its’ promise of a ‘Good Night Guarantee’, is selling its pillows alongside its famous Hypnos® bed. The move comes as the hotel company upgrades every single pillow across its 800-strong hotel estate to introduce what it describes as it’s ‘best-ever’ pillow.
The company’s biggest ever pillow-replacement scheme has seen almost half a million pillows replaced with new and improved products, with every room fitted with a choice of brand new soft and firm options, which are now also available to buy online.
Sold in pairs and featuring a quilted cover protector for an extra-special layer of comfort, which is zipped at one end for easy care, the pillows are available in firm or soft versions to suit every sleeper.
Made from blown hollow fibre, the pillows are lightweight and breathable, while clever design of their hypo-allergenic fibres makes them easy to plump to perfection.
Premier Inn – the biggest hotel company in the UK – is seen by many as the undisputed expert in sleep – selling tens of millions of nights every year.
Sarah Simpson, Head of Product at Premier Inn said: “Our business is sleep and we help tens of millions of people have some heavenly shut eye every year so we couldn’t be more thrilled to launch our best-ever pillows in all our hotels’ across the UK. Our famous Hypnos® bed is already available to buy online so it makes absolute sense people can now also buy pillows to replicate that unbeatable Premier Inn sleep at home”.
To celebrate the pillow launch Premier Inn is launching the UK’s first Pillow Fight Club, as a fun means of using old stock. Pillows, which are sold for £25 per pair are available for sale at www.premierinn.com/pillows where its famous Hypnos® bed is also available to purchase.
