Bought two of the W beds, a king and a queen, absolute best beds I've ever slept on. Both were the non-pillow top, I think when I was staying at the W I noticed that they weren't pillow tops.
On the beds it definitely says "W Hotels" all over it and even in the lining.
Both years that I bought the beds I was able to get like 30% off (might have even been more!) under an "employee discount" that wasn't very strictly enforced. Check Fatwallet and search for "W Bed" and you will find an excellent thread with all the details.
The pillows are good, too

I bought a King and Twin last month. They are great. They both say "W Hotels" all over them. They are the pillow top variety.

If anyone is considering buying a bed through starwood, you should also stop by your local mattress store (like a Sleepys) and check out their Simmons mattresses.
When I was doing research online, I discovered that you can generally negotiate nearly 50% off the retail price [FTers should be good at that…]. When I went to Sleepy's I found a Simmons mattress that was similar to the Heavenly Bed that I actually preferred!

Hello.
I recently received an Email offer from W Hotels for 20% off their beds.
Long story short,I bought a mattress from the W store web site.
However when it arrived it didn't say "the W bed" Instead it said "Simmons worldclass beautyrest Templeton extra firm".
Now the web site does says it's made by Simmons, but it also says it's made exclusively for the W Hotel and is unavailable anywhere else
(as I was also told very excitedly by a sales rep on the phone)
My problem is I have no idea if I've received the "exclusiveW hotel bed" that was advertised on the web site.Or has the wrong one been sent? Or have I been lied too being as the "Templeton" is not an exclusive W Hotel model.
I've emailed the W Hotelstore customer service 4 days ago, but have received no reply.
Has anyone else brought the "WBed" and if so ,what did it say on it?
Thanks for any help

Is a personnel decision. My preference may not be that of others. The best thing to do is go to a mattress store and try one of the Simmons Beautyrest beds. The Beautyrest is what *wood beds are all based on. And as others had advise, bargain it down - even on their sales price. You need to play your game, not theirs, as the mattress industry is nothing but a huge shell game.
My wife once offered the mattress salesman a lower price than the sales price and he got really upset demanding how she came to that price and refused to budge. When we started leaving, he accepted our price but the situation got so tense we left.

We got the King pillow top last year and I hate it. The pillow top already has pockets forming into it and I'm usually on the road traveling.

Don't feel as if you're alone. I had 1 delivered @ the end of Dec after having surgery. Finally was able to get thru to a rep on a terrible phone system. An inspector will be out to determine the "pothole" in the center of my bed. I thought potholes were made for the road.

4th W-Hotels bed. Last 2 beds are TERRIBLY soft.
This is the 4th Plush Top W Bed I have purchsed starting in 2006. I purchased a second one in 2009. both of these beds were great. In 2013 I purchased one for my son. He complained that it developed an impression where he slept. I purchased another identical bed in 2014 for our 2nd home. After sleeping in this 4th bed for a month, both my wife and I found it to be way too spongy. I subsequently examined my son's bed and it is the same spongy softness. So, sometime between 2009 and 2013, the company made a huge change to this bed. Since the firmness of the bed is not warranted, I am left with having to buy a replacement someplace else. IMHO, these beds are totally unacceptable and I would not recommend anyone purchase them. I called W-hotels and complained. They confirmed that the two years ago the changed the "specification", and they won't give me my money back. I don't know for a fact, but I can't imagine that they actually use such an uncomfortable bed in commercial hotels.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I'm due to replace my W Hotel bed, the pillow top one soon, I wonder if the change also affect the pillow top ones. I have two of their pillow top beds, bought in 2009 and been very happy with them.
