Human "bed-warmers" at Holiday Inn

Thu Jan 21, 1:02 pm ET

LONDON (Reuters) – International hotel chain Holiday Inn is offering a trial human bed-warming service at three hotels in Britain this month.
If requested, a willing staff-member at two of the chain's London hotels and one in the northern English city of Manchester will dress in an all-in-one fleece sleeper suit before slipping between the sheets.
"The new Holiday Inn bed warmers service is a bit like having a giant hot water bottle in your bed," Holiday Inn spokeswoman Jane Bednall said in an emailed statement to Reuters.
The bed-warmer is equipped with a thermometer to measure the bed's required temperature of 20 degrees Celsius (68 Fahrenheit).
Holiday Inn said the warmer would be fully dressed and leave the bed before the guest occupied it. They could not confirm if the warmer would shower first, but said hair would be covered.
Florence Eavis, Holiday Inn spokeswoman told Reuters that the "innovative" bed-warming method was a response to Britain's recent cold weather and marked the launch of 3,200 new Holiday Inns worldwide.
She could not explain why the beds were not being warmed by hot water bottles or electric-blankets, but admitted the human method was quirky.
Holiday Inn are promoting the service with the help of sleep-expert Chris Idzikowski, director of the Edinburgh Sleep Center, who said the idea could help people sleep.
"There's plenty of scientific evidence to show that sleep starts at the beginning of the night when body temperature starts to drop," he said. "A warm bed - approximately 20 to 24 Celsius - is a good way to start this process whereas a cold bed would inhibit sleep."

I wonder if the "bed warmers" will wear the unisex disposable sleepwear from Is It Catching? That should put anybody off wanting to "commit misconduct" with any of them! :)

I was wondering this myself. Nothing keeps you as warm as spooning with someone. :yes:

I don't know if any of you listen to the NPR show, "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me!" or not, but they used this story in this week's episode. It was the part of the show where they present 3 weird news stories, one of them real and two of them made-up, and the guest has to guess which one is real. When they mentioned this story, I knew right away it was the real one.

Yes, I believe Mrs. Slocombe and Mrs. Axelby were considering applying to supplement their incomes. But then they read the part about leaving the bed before the guest occupied it, and for some reason our Betty went right off the idea.
She is, however, still considering hiring out her pussy as a freelance bed warmer. ;)

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Well what's the point in having someone in your bed and then getting up as soon as you get there ?? It's a little too much like being married isn't it ??

:lol:

:):) I bet that would be a small-ad and a half!

For some reason, I keep imagining that if I did ask for the service, Mr. Mash would show up and ask, "Is it okay if I keep my socks on?"

BTW, wouldn't it be quicker if the bed warmer was naked? I raise this point merely for efficiency and energy conservation.

.... the nudity would raise another point. :D
... it may also lead to "global warming"! :lol:
...they had better wipe their feet first or it might also leave a "carbon footprint".:roll:

Sorry.

The human-bedwarmers story was mentioned again tonight, at the end of "Marketplace" on National Public Radio. Someone should do a followup interview with the hotel management, to find out if offering human bedwarmers (and all the increased publicity resulting therefrom) has increased their business.

:slochead: : "Where exactly is this hotel?"

And yep, on the Hotel's part; what a marketing success!

I was thinking the same thing! Just when I finally thought I've seen everything something else comes along making you say "What??!! You've got to be kidding me". :lol:
