Bed Bugs!!


BED BUGS!!

I have travelled to many places in India and abroad, stayed in different types of hotels.  Though the hotels were comfortable, I nurse a grievance against the type of beds provided.  The beds were soft, slippery, noisy and uncomfortable.  In one of the hotels, I was told that bed would take the shape of your body but then I made the mistake of using a pillow and woke up with a pain in the neck (Literally!!).   When I travelled to Bangalore with my wife, we had very disturbed sleep, If I moved she jumped and when she moved I jumped. In fact , I almost fell off the bed when she woke up to drink water!!. 

In our recent trip to Kerala, the most satisfying sleep I had was on a sleeper class berth from Cochin to Coimbatore.

My problems with hotel beds, seems to have stemmed from the fact that i am used to sleeping on harder surfaces like mats made of bamboo, coir based mattresses, and stiffer beds.  I just wish hotels understand the needs of persons like me and make more “comfortable” beds.

Do write your comments if you have had a similar experience.

  1. Srinivas, you seem to have got used to healthy way of sleeping(in flat surface). Glad to see your constructive feedback given to lodging services. Pillow might be a good idea only when we sleep keeping our side of the body resting on the bed. Keep blogging. I liked the concise format that you have followed. :-)
