Who Stays at the Westin Ottawa and Wants the Bed at Home

The Westin Ottawa on Colonel By Drive is one of the most visited luxury hotels in the Canadian capital. Its guests come from across the country: federal government employees on parliamentary business, delegates attending national conferences at the adjacent Ottawa Convention Centre, diplomats, private sector executives, and tourists who want a premium Ottawa base. Many of these guests arrive from Ontario cities -- Brantford, Hamilton, London, Kitchener, Windsor, Toronto -- a few hours' drive west along Highway 401 or the 417.

A substantial portion of those guests check out having experienced something they want to bring home. The Westin Heavenly Bed has that effect. It is not just a comfortable mattress -- it is a complete sleep system, and the experience of sleeping in it for two or three nights leaves a lasting impression. The question is always the same: how do I get this at home without spending $2,000 on Westin's own product?

This guide answers that question in full. It covers exactly what the Heavenly Bed is made of, what each component contributes to the sleep experience, what you can buy from Westin directly, and how to assemble a functionally equivalent system for less. For Ontario residents -- including those in Ottawa and the broader region -- Mattress Miracle in Brantford offers the mattress component at a fair price, with online ordering available.

What the Westin Heavenly Bed Is Made Of

Westin introduced the Heavenly Bed in 1999, and it was genuinely revolutionary for the hotel industry at the time. Before the Heavenly Bed, hotel mattresses were largely an afterthought -- functional, durable, and unremarkable. Westin's decision to make the mattress the centrepiece of the guest experience triggered a wave of branded sleep programmes across the entire hospitality industry.

The Heavenly Bed is a Simmons Beautyrest-based proprietary design. It is manufactured exclusively for Westin and is not sold through any regular retail channel. The technical specifications:

• 900 individually wrapped pocketed coils in a queen configuration
• A pillow-top comfort layer sewn directly onto the mattress surface
• White cotton ticking with a clean, tailored presentation
• A medium-firm support profile designed to accommodate all sleep positions

The mattress alone is only one component. The full Heavenly Bed system includes:

• A quilted mattress pad placed over the fitted sheet, adding a secondary comfort layer
• White 250-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets (fitted and flat)
• A white goose-down duvet or premium down-alternative for guests with allergies
• Standard down pillows (two per guest, or four for a queen)
• Euro-sized square pillow shams in white for decorative and functional back support

The complete white aesthetic -- white mattress pad, white sheets, white duvet, white pillows -- creates the visual experience of sleeping in a cloud. The National Sleep Foundation (2023) identifies the sleep environment, including cleanliness cues and thermal comfort, as a primary driver of sleep onset speed and overall sleep quality.

Can You Buy the Westin Heavenly Bed in Canada?

Yes. Westin operates an online Heavenly Bed store where guests can purchase the full mattress and bedding components. Current pricing for a queen Heavenly Bed mattress is approximately $2,000 to $2,500 CAD before taxes and shipping. The full bedding package -- mattress, duvet, pillows, mattress pad, and sheets -- can bring the total to $3,000 or more.

There are practical considerations before ordering from Westin directly:

• Price: The commercial-grade product carries a significant premium over equivalent residential mattresses with comparable specifications
• Shipping: Mattress delivery logistics in Canada are complicated and expensive, particularly to addresses outside major urban centres
• Commercial versus residential specification: The Heavenly Bed is a commercial product engineered for high-rotation hotel use. It breaks in differently than a residential mattress of similar coil count and comfort layer specification
• No try-before-you-buy: Westin's online store does not have physical retail locations in Canada where you can assess the feel before purchasing

For most consumers, building an equivalent system from a quality Canadian mattress retailer plus readily available home goods components is a more practical and cost-effective approach.

Step-by-Step Replica Guide

The Heavenly Bed is five components. Each can be sourced independently. Here is how to approach each one.

Step 1: Mattress Selection -- The Most Important Step

The mattress is the foundation. The Heavenly Bed's mattress characteristics are specific: pocketed coil construction (individually wrapped coils that move independently), a sewn-on pillow-top comfort layer, and a medium-firm overall support profile. These three features together produce the signature Heavenly Bed feel -- responsive, supportive, and softly cushioned at the surface without the sinking sensation of an all-foam mattress.

When selecting a replacement mattress, look for:

• Pocketed coil (individually wrapped) construction, not Bonnell open coil
• Coil count of 800 or higher in a queen (the Heavenly Bed uses 900)
• A pillow-top or Euro-top comfort layer sewn onto the mattress
• A medium or medium-firm comfort rating

Radwan et al. (2015) found that medium-firm hybrid mattresses -- those combining pocketed coil support with a cushioned comfort layer -- outperformed both firm-only and soft-only configurations for sleep quality, pain reduction, and spinal alignment across diverse sleeper populations. This is the Heavenly Bed's design principle precisely.

Carskadon and Dement (2011) identify postural comfort as a primary variable in sleep architecture maintenance, noting that discomfort-induced micro-arousals fragment sleep by reducing time in slow-wave and REM stages without the sleeper necessarily being aware of the disruptions.

Step 2: Quilted Mattress Pad

A quilted mattress pad -- not a thick memory foam topper, but a thin, flat quilted pad -- goes over the fitted sheet between the mattress and the flat sheet. This is the layer that many guests attribute the cloud-like feel to without realising it is not the mattress itself. A good quilted mattress pad adds approximately 1 to 2 centimetres of soft loft to the surface sensation without altering the underlying support profile.

Look for a quilted mattress pad with a white cotton or cotton-blend cover and a polyester fibrefill interior. It should lie flat and be machine washable. Budget: approximately $40 to $80 for a quality queen pad. Available at most home goods retailers in Canada.

Step 3: Down or Down-Alternative Duvet

The white duvet is visually and thermally central to the Heavenly Bed experience. Westin uses goose-down fill in the standard Heavenly Bed duvet, with a down-alternative version available for allergy-sensitive guests.

For the home replica, a mid-weight (approximately 400 to 500 fill power) white down duvet in a queen size is the target. Down-alternative duvets made from microfibre fill are a good substitute for those who prefer it and are often less expensive. The key characteristics are white colour, soft texture, and moderate warmth weight -- warm enough for Canadian winters but not so heavy it creates overheating. Budget: approximately $80 to $150 for a quality queen duvet.

Step 4: Cotton Sheets (200+ Thread Count)

The Westin Heavenly Bed uses 250-thread-count Egyptian cotton. For the home replica, any 200-thread-count or higher 100% cotton sheet set in white will replicate the feel. Thread count above 400 provides diminishing returns for most sleepers. Look for percale weave for a crisp, cool feel similar to hotel sheets, rather than sateen which tends to feel warmer and shinier.

A queen cotton percale sheet set (fitted, flat, two pillowcases) in white: approximately $40 to $100 depending on brand and retailer. Available at most home goods stores in Canada.

Step 5: Two Standard Pillows and Two Euro Pillows

The Heavenly Bed uses two standard-sized down pillows per guest for sleeping, plus two euro-sized (65 x 65 cm) square pillows for decorative layering and back support. At home, the standard pillows should be medium-fill down or a down-alternative equivalent at your preferred firmness level. The euro pillows provide both the visual "stacked bed" aesthetic and practical support for reading or sitting up in bed.

Budget: approximately $30 to $60 per standard down-alternative pillow, and $30 to $50 per euro pillow at most Canadian home goods retailers.
