Starting later this month, your Holiday inn London will include human bed warmers. What’s a human bed warmer?

Just before you get under the covers, you’ll be visited by walking electric blankets. Dressed in special all-in-one sleeper suits, the bed warmers will roll around in your bed for 5 minutes. They even have a ’sleep doctor’ – Dr Chris Idzikowski, director of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre, to explain the concept.

Dr. Idzikowski explains that sleep starts when body temperature starts to drop. The decline occurs partly because the blood vessels of the hands, face and feet open up and release heat.

He says ”A warm bed – approximately 20 to 24 degrees Celsius – is a good way to start this process whereas a cold bed would inhibit sleep. Holiday Inn’s new bed warmers service should help people achieve a good night’s sleep especially as it’s taking much longer for them to warm up when they come in from the snow.”

The bed warmers will hit the Holiday Inn mattresses at the end of January in London and Manchester.

Dr. Idzikowski is the IHG group’s (which owns the Holiday Inn brand) go-to guy for all things sleep and beds. Last year, he was instrumental in helping launch the Sleep Advantage program for Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts. Before that, he worked with IHG to come up with the World’s biggest Bedjump wherein thousands of people jumped on giant beds in Shanghai, Paris, London and New York for over 16 hours.
