The Best Hotels For Sleep In Italy

This is probably one of the most luxurious hotels on Earth. It’s a dip into the 15th century that includes a botanical garden for its guests. In order to get the best sleep imaginable, guests can sign up for the "perfect sleep" option and choose from three kinds of Simmons mattresses prior to check-in, as well as a personalized mattress cover system available in three types: Signature (medium), Signature Firm (hard) and Signature Plush (soft). All the hotel's beds come equipped with Gel Touch Foam Centre technology, which absorbs excess heat in order to guarantee maximum comfort.

The only 5-star establishment in La Thuile, the Nira Montana is also one of the world's most avant garde hotels when it comes to providing guests with a good night's sleep. The hotel's handcrafted beds are all built by Hastens, a Swedish brand popular with nobility and film stars. The bed padding is made with horsehair, which creates natural ventilation. Patented springs adjust to the body's curves, eliminating extra pressure in specific points that might prevent free blood flow. This improves metabolic activity at night and extends the deep sleep period.
