Conrad’s 75 ways to help you sleep
SINGAPORE – If you thought pillow fights between hotels were a thing of the past, think again.
Conrad Hotels and Resorts now offers 75 varieties of pillows to choose from across the globe and claims it has taken the concept a step further by introducing “destination-based and mood-inspired pillows”.
Each pillow has its own unique properties, from anti-snore assistance to cold relief, and total relaxation to romance, says Conrad.
Some of the pillows, such as the ‘Porcelain Pillow’ (Conrad Centennial Singapore), the ‘Tiba Pillow’ (Conrad Cairo) and the ‘Shogun Pillow’ (Conrad Bangkok) pay homage to the local culture.
Others offer healing properties through sleep, including the ‘Cold and Flu Pillow’ (Conrad Chicago).
Conrad offers this quick pillow check for two of its properties in Asia:
• The ‘Porcelain Pillow’ at the Conrad Centennial Singapore was the most widely used pillow in ancient China when pillows were also made of natural stone, wood, jade, and bronze.
Porcelain pillows first appeared in the Sui Dynasty (581-618) and were created to support the neck and protect hairstyles from being crushed.
• The ‘Shogun Pillow’ at the Conrad Bangkok is a traditional Asian tatami pillow that has been in existence for over 1,000 years and enjoyed by emperors and noblemen.
The woven tatami rush or “igusa” creates many small breathing holes that moderate temperature, absorb humidity and heat and keep air fresh, while the aroma of the “igusa” stimulates blood circulation to minimise aches and pains.
Try walking on it and the tatami fibre filling gives feet a massage and stimulates blood circulation: the perfect antidote to a long-haul flight.
