Summary:Sleep is a subjective thing. I like my mattress firm and my lighting soft, and in my junior suite it's soft enough to set off the panoramic view and increase any chance of romance. The custom- made bed is near perfect, its mattress firm but forgiving. The 300- thread count cotton sheets are crisp and tightly tucked, meaning you don't feel as if you're being rolled into a kebab each time you turn. IT is like sinking into marshmallow: the Marriott's Revive bed has the squashiest of mattress toppers, perfect for a snug winter night's sleep. There are six pillows on the oceanic king-sized bed: two pure goose-down in big square European style, and four standard, with goose-down and feather filling. A bedside pillow menu suggests a further five varieties, from micro-fibre to latex. "Everybody's about to go through a retraining process because it's all completely new bedding for the hotel. So we're at a stage where we have to relearn everything we've been doing," says [Nick Jones], executive housekeeper at the Sofitel Wentworth Sydney.
