Panasonic has recently introduced their latest innovation: The Sleep Assist System. It is an automated gadget that conditions how you sleep and comes with a mattress that helps you get a soothing and relaxing time on the bed with gentle massaging.

“Sensors are distributed underneath the mattress. The deep-wave sleep info is recorded so that when you wake up in the morning you can see how well you’ve slept via a monitor.”

This product won the 2006 Good Design award.

The hotel and hospitality industry is often plagued with bed bug problems and discovering new and better solutions to solve this crisis is always a welcome one. Here is one product the industry can have a lot of use from —  the SterilMattress Cleaning System.

Adirondack Towels and Scrubs has teamed with Texas company SterilMattress to offer an affordable solution - the SterilMattress Mattress Cleaning System.

Included in the SterilMattress kit is a powerful, yet extremely quiet (67 decibel) portable vacuum, endorsed by the American Lung Association. It’s equipped with a multi-layered filtration system to capture 99.7% of particulates greater than .3 microns.

The kit comes with a portable UVC light wand that has UVGI (ultraviolet germicidal irradiation) capabilities, ideal for sterilizing any and all surfaces. Exposure to 10 seconds of UVGI kills 90% of all bacteria, viruses, and germs. Exposure of 20 seconds kills 99.9%.

The kit also includes a supply of an all natural, odorless, enzyme based cleaner that is used to lightly mist mattresses. The pesticide free, non-toxic enzyme-based mist is effective in controlling odors, bed bugs, head lice, scabies, fleas, dust mites, silverfish, cockroaches, spiders, fleas, and other allergen producing bio-organisms, as well as breaking down and eating away mattress stains. The mist evaporates in just 5 minutes

The main benefits of the SterilMattress system are:
- Strengthens customer loyalty
- Reduces or eliminates allergic reactions among hotel guests and employees
- Extends the life of mattresses
- Attracts guests concerned about hotel cleanliness
- Generates positive word of mouth
- Delivers peace of mind knowing hotel guests are sleeping in comfort and cleanliness
