How Warm is Your Bed?
Saturday, January 23rd, 2010 Leave it to the Brits to come up with the euphemism of the month. The Holiday Inn chain in England has announced a new service in three of their hotels in London and Manchester. At no extra charge, the chain is offering a “human bed warmer” who will s
pend 5 minutes in your bed to bring it to the optimal sleeping temperature of 72 degrees. Spokeswoman Jane Bednall explains that it is “like having a giant hot water bottle in your bed!” Of course it is. Exactly which “humans” will be doing the warming has not been decided, but in a preliminary company survey, 98% of male business travelers said that given a choice, like AC/DC sang… they “want a woman in red at the bottom of their bed!”
This may be just the shot in the arm the travel industry needs. Tiger Woods has already booked a suite for the month of April….”I swear Elin, she is just a “bed warmer.”
