Every Parent Deserves a Heavenly Bed
It should tell you something about a hotel room when the first thing your two-year-old does upon entering, is climb up on the bed and say she’s “playing sleep”.
Yep— that’s how inviting Westin’s signature Heavenly Bed looked on our recent trip to the Westin La Paloma in Arizona.
“Ummm… Babe? You’re sleeping in the crib.”
No way was I letting that little tyrant takeover my pillowtop mattress, crisp white comforter and fluffy pillows. That bed was ALL MINE.
When you have a child, making the bed is probably one of the first household chores to go, so coming back to a fully made bed every night of our stay was a rare treat.
Pulling back those covers, resting my weary sun-soaked head, reflecting on our day of swimming and massages and finding sweet sweet sleep.
Of course, sleep tends to get interrupted when you are traveling with a toddler who’s internal clock is three hours ahead of time. So let’s just say, I found out what it was like to fall sleep in that bed several more times than our three-day stay would suggest.
And when I woke up in the morning wanting to stay in bed for as long as humanly possible but was forced out due to a toddler demanding breakfast with a heaping side of attention?
Let’s just say it was a very good thing I had the Westin’s signature Heavenly Shower to start my day.
Nothing wakes a tired parent up better than a hot shower with the perfect amount of pressure.
“Good morning, room service. Do you think someone could deliver my child some milk and cheerios, while I laze around in my bath robe? Thank you.”

They are truly the best. I’m not a good sleeper, but I always sleep well in one of their beds.
I love when a hotel has a great bed! It makes staying away from home just that much better! The Westin’s bed sounds heavenly!
Seriously, the bed is worth the cost of the entire hotel stay. I have the worst mattress and next time I’m at a Westin, I’m lifting off the sheets to see what brand they’re using. Don’t even doubt me, I’ll do it.
Ah, the sweet luxury of a mighty fine bed. I’m a firm believer that when it comes to beds – no expense should be spared. Hotel beds really can go either way – horrid or dreamy. Glad yours was the latter!
Sooooo jealous! this sounds amazing…but HOW did you keep your kids out of it??
I have a friend that swears by the Heavenly bed at the Westin. Literally, she stays at Westins just because of the beds! I can now see her point!
Those are two words that sound so good together – “heavenly” and “bed.” I’ve stayed at many a hotel and I have to say, you can not underestimate the value of a good mattress. It really can make or break a hotel stay. And having slept on one of the Heavenly Beds I can say that they live up to their name…heavenly.
Now, i just wish I had one at home!
I never heard of these Heavenly Beds! I think I’m sold. All I really need is a “heavenly” bed and some room service. Is that so much to ask in life?
Hotel beds are the absolute best. And “playing sleep” — how adorable!
I’ve never actually stayed at a Westin but I have heard of their awesome beds. A good mattress really IS important- I hate to be on a “relaxing” vacation and be unable to get a good night’s sleep.
Man, that sounds comfy. And now I want to take a nap.
I have heard so much about these beds. I’ll have to try one out at some point, especially since we’re in the market for a new mattress!
You had me sold at heavenly bed! Oh and pillowtop mattress, crisp white comforter and fluffy pillows — sounds amazing. I have heard SO much about these beds — need to check them out — sound like the perfect luxury!
There’s just something about a hotel nap, even without a heavenly bed. I can’t imagine what it would be like with such an amazing mattress.
