PACIFIC COAST FEATHER COMPANY
Pacific Coast Feather Company (PCFC) vice president — Asia Pacific Joana Zhang says the latest craze in the hotel industry is to give guests the chance to select their favourite type of pillow.
“Generally speaking, each hotel room is fitted with at least two pairs of pillows with either different density or filling types,” she explains.
“Some hotel guests, however, would prefer to find a perfect pillow match during their stay to enhance bedtime comfort.”
As a result the US-firm has developed its own pillow menu that includes options such as a body pillow, a reading pillow and a baby pillow.
With 126 years of history, PCFC combines a heritage of craftsmanship with leading-edge innovations to create comfortable and beneficial bedding products.
The firm is currently placing more emphasis on the European and Middle East hospitality markets and is working with a range of international hotel groups.
Zhang notes: “We have worked very closely with top international hotels to help them strengthen their brand awareness and improve their guest satisfaction through special sleeping programmes, such as ‘The Brand Bed’ programme for Hyatt, ‘The Revive Bed’ programme for Marriott and ‘The Serenity Bedding’ programme for Hilton.”

DUXIANA
Many people mistakenly believe that a hard or firm bed is best suited to the human body, claims Cyngbel president Panicos Panayiotou.
Panayiotou, who runs the company behind Swedish furniture producer Duxiana’s presence in Dubai, says: “This myth appears to be difficult to dispel, which is regrettable, since it keeps many people with back and sleeping problems from experiencing a more comfortable and beneficial night’s sleep.
“Backaches stem from bad posture and we sleep incorrectly if the spine is not levelled horizontally.”
Panayiotou explains that the ideal bed does not have to be soft or hard as the human body is naturally curved.
“It should be pliable, supportive and feel comfortable, while adapting to the natural contours of an individual’s body,” he asserts.
Duxiana has been making beds since 1926 and has a separate product line designed specifically for hotels.
Three basic models make up the line, each available with three different types of top pads that offer a variety of options and combinations.
Duxiana is a strategic partner with organisation The Leading Hotels of the World and stocks available through its Dubai Mall store ensures delivery can take place within 72 hours of ordering.
