A hotel mattress does not work like the one at home. It changes guest every other night, carries very different weights, takes aggressive cleaning protocols and still has to look right — and hold its certification — the day the inspector walks in. At MiColchón Profesional we equip accommodation and contract projects with mattresses built for exactly that, from the first measurement to the final installation.
The difference between a domestic mattress and a contract one does not show on the first night. It shows on the thousandth. Hotel use multiplies load cycles, alternates sleepers of very different build and means the mattress gets handled constantly to be turned, protected or replaced. One that is not engineered for that loses firmness in patches and develops the central dip far sooner than planned — which is precisely the fault that ends up quoted in a review.
The equipment we specify for accommodation starts with higher-density cores and perimeter reinforcement, so the edge survives guests sitting on it every day, and fabrics made for frequent laundering and a protective cover. We supply the standard hotel sizes — 90, 105, 135, 150 and 180 by 190 or 200 cm — and special sizes when the building wins the argument with the catalogue: attic rooms, impossible widths, or beds that have to split in two depending on the booking.
The fire certification the Spanish hospitality sector asks for is UNE-EN 597, the European and Spanish standard that measures how the complete mattress reacts to two different ignition sources: part 1 tests a lit cigarette resting on the surface, part 2 a flame equivalent to a match. The mattress passes when combustion does not spread beyond what the standard allows.
It is the reference that appears in public tender documents, in the purchasing requirements of many hotel groups and, increasingly, in the small print of the property insurance policy. It is worth settling before you buy: replacing an entire mattress stock afterwards because it cannot evidence the standard costs incomparably more than asking for the certificate in time.
The contract-range models we work with carry UNE-EN 597 certification. Tell us what your specification demands and we will provide the certificate for the specific model in writing, before you commit to the purchase.
The mattress is half the package. The other half decides whether the room works: a lift-up storage base turns the space under the bed into the storage a holiday let never has; an upholstered divan on the right legs solves how the floor gets cleaned; a matching headboard closes the composition without ordering from a second supplier and hoping the tone lines up.
We also supply zip-and-link twin systems: two 90 cm pieces that join for a couple and separate for two guests, which is what a property with mixed bookings actually needs. Slatted or electric bases when the project calls for them.
An order for sixty mattresses is not one order repeated sixty times. The price changes, the lead time changes and, above all, the logistics change: almost no property can take the whole stock at once, and fewer still have anywhere to store it.
So wholesale proposals are built with unit-banded pricing and phased delivery, matched to the refurbishment schedule or to the floors you free up. We coordinate each drop with your maintenance team so that a batch arrives, gets installed and leaves with the old stock the same day, without blocking more rooms than necessary.
Send us the list of sizes and quantities and we will come back with a closed proposal: price per reference and a delivery calendar.
A care home is not buying sleep, it is buying working conditions. The bed has to rise and lower so care staff do not wreck their backs, articulate into the positions each resident needs, and be cleaned thoroughly between occupants.
We equip care homes and assisted living facilities with electric adjustable bases, height-adjustable beds and mattresses specified for care use, in the sizes and with the accessories — side rails, lifting poles, trolleys — the facility requires. The advice comes from our Colchonólogos® working alongside your team, because an assisted floor and an independent-living floor have nothing in common.
In short-term rentals the mattress is the item guests mention most in reviews and the one owners look at least when furnishing the flat. A low rating caused by a sagging mattress costs far more in empty nights than the good mattress would have cost.
The equation for holiday lets is different from a hotel: you have to sustain very high turnover on a tight per-key budget, and almost always without maintenance staff of your own. What works there is well-built entry ranges, protection fitted from day one, and a sofa bed you can genuinely sleep on — because in a two-bedroom flat it ends up being the third bedroom.
A serious sleep supplier does not push you towards one brand. It takes you to the one that solves your project. We work with the major names in the sector — Tempur, Simmons, Sealy, Flex and Harrison Spinks among others — covering everything from functional ranges for high turnover to genuine luxury collections for suites and premium projects.
The choice is made using the house method, Colchonología®: understanding the real use, the guest profile and the budget before recommending anything.
MiColchón is a Málaga company with more than 45 years in the trade, 17 stores between Málaga and Granada and almost 4,000 m² of showroom at MiColchón Sofas & Beds El Viso. In practice that means your project is not handled by a sales rep passing through, but by a team a short drive from your property.
Delivery, assembly, installation and removal of the old furniture are always free and carried out by our own crews. In a hotel that difference shows: you are not relying on a courier who leaves the packages in reception and drives off.
The sector reference is UNE-EN 597, the European and Spanish standard that assesses the ignition resistance of the complete mattress: part 1 with a lit cigarette and part 2 with a flame equivalent to a match. It appears routinely in public tender documents, in hotel group purchasing requirements and in the conditions of some insurance policies. The contract-range models we work with carry this certification and we provide the certificate for the specific model in writing.
It depends on occupancy, mattress type and maintenance protocol, so there is no single figure. The useful signals are objective: visible sagging in the central zone, loss of firmness at the edge, staining that no longer responds to the cleaning protocol and, above all, mentions of the mattress in reviews. We can audit your stock with you and plan a phased replacement rather than a full swap.
Yes. Alongside the standard hotel sizes (90, 105, 135, 150 and 180 by 190 or 200 cm), we work in special sizes for attic rooms, spaces with unusual widths and zip-and-link twin beds. It is common in refurbishments of older buildings, where the standard catalogue simply does not fit.
We do not work to a fixed minimum. Conditions are set according to volume, how regularly you order and the type of project. Send us the list of sizes and quantities and we will come back with a proposal — price per reference and a delivery calendar — with no obligation.
Yes. Delivery, assembly, installation and removal of the old furniture are always free and carried out by MiColchón crews. We coordinate phased deliveries with your maintenance team so we do not block more rooms than necessary.
