Lie in the worlds most comfortable hotel beds

One of the oddest things about going on holiday is that you usually end up staying somewhere smaller than your own home and less comfortable too. To avoid this problem, we asked those in the know in the travel industry to recommend the comfiest hotels and this is what they came up with.

The Honeymoon Plantation Suite in the Royal Plantation hotel in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. What makes this so special is the king-size four-poster bed that comes with a pillow menu so you can choose where you lay your head.

There's also a five-foot long body cushion that aligns the spine and reduces neck, back and joint pain. If you're not comfortable here, you need to see your doctor.

Closer to home, the Seafront Villa at the Porto Elounda de Luxe Reosrt in Crete has a gigantic bed dressed in crisp Egyptian cotton. If that lulls you into too deep a sleep, you can wake up in the enormous power shower.

Baine's Camp in Botswana, where you can sleep under the stars in a four-poster bed, is considered one of the most luxurious safari camps. A mosquito net is all that separates you from the sounds of the bush as you lie shrouded on your private deck.

If money is no object, you could check yourself into the Royal Suite at the self-styled seven-star Burj Al Arab in Dubai. What makes this so special is the rotating (yes, rotating) four-poster canopy bed.

If all that motion keeps you awake, you can always lie looking at yourself in the mirror on the ceiling. For more details, go to www.burj-al-arab.com

For more discreet luxury, visit the Al Maha Desert Resort and Spa (www.al-maha.com) in the desert of the United Arab Emirates. The Bedoiun Suite has a super king-size bed, from where you have a view of your private plunge pool.
