Beds on Anthem?

[Overtyme]

Both the positive and negative reviews of Anthem seem to have one thing in common:

The dislike of the beds, which have been described as rock hard.

Is this accurate? Why do you think this is the case? Do they have a different supplier? Are the beds just too new?

What was your experience?

If the mattress is too hard, can you get it switches out?

I wonder if anyone has asked to get a new one from the steward and if that made a difference.

Was on the 10day sailing last month. Didn't think the bed was hard at all, the mattress was very comfortable. Slept great every night.

I'm going June 2nd and will report on the beds

When we were on the quantum, ( anthems sister ) we thought the beds were very comfortable. And i am normaly used to a soft-medium mattress.

the mattress was on the firm side…….pillows were hard to adapt to……...

[Overtyme]

I'm curious if type of cabin/location of cabins play a role here as well as type of bed (sofa bed vs regular bed) and bed arrangement (together Vs. Apart).

Maybe we can find a pattern here.

If you wouldn't mind, please include this information. I'm going to put together a spreadsheet and will publish the results by the end of the week. Please include your cabin number and date that you sailed. It may be possible that someone had the same cabin and that the mattress was swapped out at some point.

So I guess we are speculating that the cheaper the cabin the harder the mattress?

 

"If you want a good nights sleep you need to buy a suite" is the new Royal Jingle/slogan?????

We were in a standard balcony cabin with beds together on deck 11

I'm not speculating at all. Just looking to see if there are any patterns.

Inside cabins vs outside vs balcony. They may have a reason based on configuration to have sourced mattresses from different suppliers.

I'm not going in with any pre-conceived notions.

4/30/16 - CABIN 8638 GS

 

The bed (both together) in this cabin had a mattress topper already there.

You might find this to be the case in any cabin JS and higher.

In the description for these cabins it indicates under "Seas Class Exclusives" -

Luxury Pillow Top Mattress. Cabins below this class do not have this

notation. I think you can request a topper from the attendant if need

be.

Very comfortable. Good luck with your analysis. Should be interesting.

Recently spent 34 days in cabin 9622, a Family Junior Suite, and our cabin attendant put 2 comforters under the sheets and to make it tolerable.

[ISABELLA]

My bed was OK. Pillows - I am glad I brought my own.

Hi,

 

We were on Anthem last year when it was very new, cabin 3644 Accessible, slept like a baby very comfortable.

 

On Ovation a couple of weeks ago, cabin 3642 Accessible, again very comfortable, same type of matress.

 

Trouble and strife, same as.

I was in a solo balcony cabin (6252) on the 18 April Anthem cruise. I had heard about the hard beds and emailed special needs to request a mattress topper. It was put on the bed and in my opinion the bed would have been way too hard for what I like without it. As it was even with the topper it was still a bit harder than I like, but the topper helped a lot so that I was able to sleep.

My partner and I were on Anthem back on 9/1/2015 SG 7634 and the mattress was absolutely wonderful as have been the mattresses on all our cruises in our opinion. We have had some which seemed a little softer than others but I would guess they had a few more cruises on the clock also.

 

As for the comment "rock hard", I would recommend people sleep on the bed rather than the floor for a more comfortable nights sleep. I am not one for extreme descriptions like "rock hard" as they really are inaccurate descriptions. I don't think we would be accepting of the description "rock hard" if an ED tablet were to use it in their advertising. :)

We were in a Family Junior Suite during spring break. DH and I slept on the "beds together," DD13 on the sofa bed and DD9 in the top bunk.

 

The kids didn't complain.

 

Our bed felt like Fred Flintstone's bed. We have a firm mattress at home, but this mattress was rock hard. It was uncomfortable, but tolerable. Not sure why we didn't ask for an egg crate. I guess because we were so exhausted at the end of the day and then didn't think of it in the morning.

My husband and I were on a 10 day in April, and we did think the mattress was really firm...much more firm than we are used to. That said, we slept really well on it.

Hi sorry for the late reply, our cabin was 11706, standard balcony, beds pushed together. Mattress was medium-firm i would say.

I totally missed that when I originally read the post. :eek:

 

"When you change out my mattress, can you also make the water in my toilet drain counterclockwise and shift my cabin three feet to the left?"
