What Mattress Does Holiday Inn Express Use?
Holiday Inn Express beds come from IHG's approved-supplier programme — Tempur Sealy and Beautyrest. What that means, what you can buy, and what it costs.
The Holiday Inn Express bed at a glance
- Bed
- IHG approved-supplier mattresses (no single Holiday Inn Express model)
- Maker
- Tempur Sealy and Serta Simmons / Beautyrest, via IHG's approved-supplier programme
- Current version
- Not published for Holiday Inn Express specifically. Current IHG collections include Tempur Sealy's SleepSoundly line and Beautyrest's IHG collection.
- Firmness
- No firmness rating is published for a Holiday Inn Express bed. The collections span plush to luxury firm, which is why two Holiday Inn Express stays can feel different.
- Can you buy it?
- Yes — The Beautyrest hospitality guest purchase programme sells an IHG collection to guests. It is not confirmed that these are the exact SKUs used in Holiday Inn Express rooms rather than higher IHG tiers.
- Price
- Beautyrest's IHG collection starts around $1,407 for the Nightfall pillow top, about $1,453 for the St. Chapelle plush, about $1,672 for the Indus River pillow top, and about $2,028 for the Black InterContinental Napa luxury firm pillow top.
Who actually makes it
Both Tempur Sealy and Beautyrest publish IHG hospitality collections, and Sealy UK lists itself as an IHG approved supplier. What none of them publish is which model is standard in Holiday Inn Express specifically, as opposed to Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza or InterContinental. Ask your property for the law-tag model.
Construction and feel
- Tempur Sealy SleepSoundly for IHG: twice-tempered coils, PostureTech open coil spring system, SolidEdge foam edge support, premium gel foam comfort layers and Chill cooling fabric
- Beautyrest IHG collection: pillow-top and plush pocketed-coil builds including Nightfall, St. Chapelle, Indus River and a Black InterContinental Napa luxury firm
- Holiday Inn Express rooms sit at the select-service end of IHG, so expect the more basic builds in the programme rather than the Black-tier models

Holiday Inn Express mattress questions
What brand of mattress does Holiday Inn Express use?
There is no single brand. IHG, Holiday Inn Express's parent, runs an approved-supplier programme; Tempur Sealy and Serta Simmons / Beautyrest both publish IHG hospitality collections, and the model varies by property.
Can you buy a Holiday Inn Express mattress?
You can buy from the Beautyrest IHG collection through its hospitality guest purchase programme, though it is not confirmed that those are the exact models used in Holiday Inn Express rooms rather than other IHG brands.
How much do IHG hotel mattresses cost?
Beautyrest's IHG collection runs from roughly $1,400 for the Nightfall pillow top up to about $2,400 for the Black InterContinental Napa luxury firm.
Why do Holiday Inn Express beds feel different at different hotels?
Because IHG approves several suppliers and models rather than mandating one bed, and properties re-bed on their own renovation cycles.
How we sourced this page
Every supplier, construction and price detail above comes from the hotel's or manufacturer's own current pages, listed below. We have not slept on or lab-tested hotel room beds, so this page carries no measured pressure, cooling or durability scores, and no firmness number that the brand has not published itself. Hotel suppliers change by property and renovation cycle — ask the property for the mattress law tag before ordering.
