Holiday Inn wanted to do their best to ensure their guests can escape the cold Winter outside to a warm, cozy bed. Beginning in Manchester later this month, the famous hotel chain will be paying people to wear warm onesies and sleep in guest beds for five minutes to make sure they are warm and toasty.
Holiday Inn also says the human bed warmers are a much more eco-friendly way to warm beds compared to electric blankets. Guests can call room service and request a bed warmer who will jump into your bed and bring to about 20-24 degrees Celsius before bedtime.
