The Princess Luxury Bed – a new sleep concept
Healthy sleep is the key to a good rest.
Each component of our mattress is part of a whole complex created for healthy sleep. Every detail is important here, and everything together is arranged so that our passengers can have a great rest.
7 pros, why we chose the concept of healthy sleep:
1. 2-inch plush outer layer on bed and pillows: lulls you to sleep like a child.
2. 3-layer knitted fabric: follows the contours of your body.
3. 1-inch thick foam padding: You will be comfortable no matter how you lie.
4. 1.75″ Thick Soft Lining: Supports you all the time.
5. Foam padding: excellent support.
6. Softly springs under you: mattress springs dampen vibration.
7. High-density foam mattress contour: provides stability.
New mattresses, 5cm padding and silk sheets in every cabin!
The mattresses were invented by leading sleep specialist Dr. Michael Breus, a leading sleep expert and regular participant in various programs dedicated to healthy sleep.
The mattresses are developed by the world’s leading manufacturers, who supply them not only to us, but also to five-star hotels!
100% jacquard fabric and natural cotton + lightest duvets.
Healthy sleep on board is the key to a good rest – this is the concept of sleep on board Princess Cruises ships.
