How many years has it taken Marriott to roll out the new bed? At least 5 years? And they are not done yet. In the meantime other chains have surpassed them. They don't use the "new bedding" in their marketing anymore.
It all depends on preference....personally I prefer the Renaissance bed to the MHR beds and the Sheraton Suite Sleeper over the Westin Heavenly bed
