What the diggity damn? Who thought this up? Human "bed-warmers" at Holiday Inn

Thu Jan 21, 1:02 PM

LONDON (Reuters) - International hotel chain Holiday Inn is offering a trial human bed-warming service at three hotels in Britain this month.


If requested, a willing staff-member at two of the chain's London hotels and one in the northern English city of Manchester will dress in an all-in-one fleece sleeper suit before slipping between the sheets.

"The new Holiday Inn bed warmers service is a bit like having a giant hot water bottle in your bed," Holiday Inn spokeswoman Jane Bednall said in an emailed statement to Reuters.

The bed-warmer is equipped with a thermometer to measure the bed's required temperature of 20 degrees Celsius (68 Fahrenheit).

Holiday Inn said the warmer would be fully dressed and leave the bed before the guest occupied it. They could not confirm if the warmer would shower first, but said hair would be covered.

Sounds like something from the Blackadder series. "Oh it will take years before I get back up to shoveling dung!"

so glad that, for some, whether or not to have some "willing staff person" warm their beds is their biggest concern.
assholes.
