Default Anyone in the hotel trade in Dubai

Quick question and I am not sure anyone does but.....

If anyone works for Jumeira group, does anyone know what brand mattresses they use at JB, and if you can get them retail in Dubai. Just had the most amazing 2 nights sleep ever and need to buy. Yes I should have looked before I left but 2 distraught kids put paid to a relaxed departure

Thanks in advance

Probably because the average housekeeping person may not know if you can buy them retail but a fair question

Depending on the hotel you might find a mix of mattress brands. Whilst they might buy in bulk it could well be they have different suppliers and brands. Marriott make much of their bed but I put a lot of that down to them using a topper.

Worst case. Go back to the hotel, ask them when the room you stayed in will be empty and have them go check the mattress, or even book the room again yourself. It will not be the strangest request they had, by a looooong way.

Just phoning and asking housekeeping staff might get you grunt.

Google is not your friend on this question. I have emailed the hotel so will see if I get an answer.
