MiColchón: Helping hotels provide the best rest

THE hotel and tourism sector on the Costa del Sol is big business, and one of their funda‐mental services is to offer clients the best rest.

Our experience as guests staying in holiday accommodations or hotels largely depends on our quality of rest. Other factors such as the rating, the size of the rooms, cleanliness and whether the complex has other services like a spa and beauty treatments are irrele‐vant if we don’t enjoy a restful night’s sleep. Not sleeping well will almost always result in negative feedback.

• So how can hotels and accommodation services ensure guests get the best rest?

A mattress must combine comfort and durability to stand the test of time and to pro‐vide quality comfort to the many people that will use it.

The mattress must also comply with cur‐rent regulations, including quality certificates. These quality certificates ensure that the mat‐tress is safe to use and that it is made of flame‐retardant fabrics and certified by an ac‐ credited company.

• Complying with regulations

Foams such as viscoelastic or HR must have an accredited certificate which ensures they do not contain any toxic substances and pro‐vides the highest level of protection for hu‐man health and the environment.

Another essential accreditation is that the mattress complies with Standard 100 by OEKO‐TEX, certifying that all the materials that make up the mattress are free of toxic substances. The Class I certificate means that the mattresses are even suitable for babies.

• Comfort The mattress must be adequate for all types of users and they are usually manufactured for medium to high firm‐ness. A perfect example of this comes from leading chain MiColchón and their ‘Double Comfort’ range of reinforced mattresses. These are designed for dura‐bility and also contain comfort layers us‐ing the best materials, such as viscoelastic or high‐density and resilient Irontex. Night‐land mattresses offer tourists and travellers much‐needed and restful sleep.

• Durability

Like any business, the hotel and holiday sector must take into account the profitability and durability of their products. MiColchón has created an exclusive ‘Double Duration’ range with high‐quality continuous thread spring cores, making it completely non‐de‐formable thanks to its patented ‘special con‐tinuous use’ back system.

MiColchón mattresses are a perfect exam‐ple of durability and profitability, with a spring core and extra hard steel, without compromising on the comfort achieved from the most advanced viscoelastic material, Memoryvis, and fireproof upholstery that complies with current regulations.

• A service that is good as the product

Hotels or individuals who invest in holiday accommodation know the importance of professional and personal service, something that MiColchón strives to provide their cus‐tomers.

Standing out against their competition, Mi‐Colchón has an express delivery service with‐in 24 ‐ 48 hours, providing an immediate solu‐tion to any incident that may arise in hotels and holiday apartments in Malaga Province.

Thinking Aloud

THE GOP in the USA has committed itself to banning abortion. Could this be one instance in which they have made the ‘right’ moral decision at great risk to their political aspira ‐tions?

Human life is sacred and we all have the right to live. Then, why is abortion is such a complex issue? An embryo is alive immediately it is con ‐ceived, but is not a human life. It be ‐comes a foetus after about 10 weeks of gestation, when it begins its unity with the soul. This union is not com ‐plete until the 16th week.

Until then it is not recognised as a living sentient being, in which case, it has fewer rights than a goat or a salmon. But it has always had the potential to become a human being. And if the embryo is destroyed its potential is destroyed. This is surely the issue.

At the same time, its mother in whose body the foetus exists is al ‐ready a fully sentient being with the right to live. The foetus has the right to be born and to exist; but does this
