The whole point of a holiday is to recharge, and sleep quality plays a major role in that. When we travel away from our homes, our bodies deal with the unfamiliar: different schedules and environments. A comfortable bed in a holiday home can help counter these disruptions, offering restorative sleep that allows us to fully enjoy our time away. And to cope with late nights, lots of people and probably lots of food & drink. Mattresses with high-quality materials and amazing support systems make all the difference, helping you and your guests wake up refreshed and ready to start the day.
Restorative Sleep: The Key to Vacation Bliss
Does this sound familiar? You own a bach yet every time you turn up to stay there for a holiday or weekend away, you wake up sore and stiff with “bach back” and have had a restless night due to tossing and turning. You spent all your money on securing your little piece of holiday then moved in Grandma’s hand me down mattress from 20 years ago to scrimp and save on the ONE item you should definitely invest the most in. No amount of coffee from an amazing coffee machine will help remedy a night of poor sleep. And if you are nodding your head to this familiar feeling, you can only imagine how those who rent your spot might feel too. Read what recent Bach owners had to say.
Can’t believe it took us so long – Bach Owner Waiheke
"We kept an old mattress in our bach in Waiheke for so long, we began to almost not look forward to going because we knew we would wake up with aches and pains. After purchasing our Comfi bed, our quality of sleep changed instantly. Amazing sleep and no sore backs and hips. Our only regret – we should not have waited so long."
Blissful sleep – Bach Owner Pauanui
"It takes a lot to keep me in bed .......... However , after the first night sleeping on the Super Natural Mattress from Comfi I slept through till 10am. This is unheard of behaviour from me and completely due to the incredible experience sleeping on this mattress. I would highly recommend a Comfi purchase, the quality and the whole purchasing experience is second to none."
So here are some points to consider as you go into the holiday season.
The Comfort Factor: Everyone Feeling at Home
Whether you’re renting out your holiday home or setting it up for personal use, comfort is key. Renters crave a homey environment where they can feel relaxed and at ease. A plush, well-made bed adds to the ambiance and enhances the guest experience, making them feel like they've entered a haven tailored just for them. As the owner, you should feel excited about turning up at your holiday home knowing you are going to be able to properly recharge. Plus, when people think back on an amazing holiday, it’s often the small comforts — like a luxurious bed to snuggle up in — that stand out.
Setting Yourself Apart: Why Great Beds Lead to Better Reviews
For rental property owners, a comfortable bed can mean better reviews and return customers. Travellers today are quick to share both the highlights and low points of their stays. Providing a great bed, as part of a well-rounded experience, ensures guests leave satisfied and eager to return.
And if you don’t believe us, read what Kim Rae, the owner of Stay Waiheke who manages over 350 properties on Waiheke Island says, "One of the most top rated items from both a positive and negative feedback perspective that we receive is on the quality of the mattresses and pillows. In fact, lots of renters will ask what the quality of the beds are like before they book. In our opinion, for high rental occupancy and return visitors, having excellent quality mattresses and pillows are a critical part to achieving this."
