Delta gets Westin Heavenly bedding in Business Elite cabins

If you have ever stayed at a Westin, you know the feel of their Heavenly Beds.

Now you can experience something similar on Delta Air Lines.

Delta wants passengers to be comfortable, so it is transforming the sleep experience in its BusinessElite cabin by offering Westin Heavenly® In-Flight bedding. This specific bedding will be designed and manufactured exclusively for Delta, in all of its BusinessElite cabins throughout the world.

This statement is right from Delta:

The new Westin Heavenly In-Flight bedding product will be available on all BusinessElite® International flights, as well as BusinessElite flights between New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport and Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle and between Atlanta and Honolulu, beginning in June 2013. BusinessElite customers will receive a Westin Heavenly sleeping pillow and a comforter with extra luxurious loft. Passengers on flights over 12 hours also will receive a lumbar pillow.

"Delta is committed to providing our customers with the best possible sleep experience in the skies and we're excited to partner with another leader in the travel category, Westin Hotels and Resorts, who shares this goal," said Joanne Smith , Delta's senior vice president – In Flight Service. "In recent surveys, customers have told us that the most important part of the in-flight experience is sleep. The new Westin Heavenly In-Flight bedding product is just one of the new amenities Delta is introducing to ensure customers achieve a restful, rejuvenating in-flight experience."

Westin is glad to be partnering with Delta on this venture.

"We are delighted to bring the Westin Heavenly experience to thousands of Delta travelers around the world especially at a time when Westin is experiencing tremendous growth in key markets around the world," said Brian Povinelli , Global Brand Leader for Westin Hotels. "Getting a good night's sleep is the number one priority for our guests and we are renowned for providing travelers with the best bed and sleep experience in the business. Westin Heavenly In-Flight bedding will ensure Delta's customers will be renewed and refreshed when they land. Now consumers can experience the brand's Heavenly sleep experience in-flight, in our hotels and even in their homes."

Delta is also upgrading some additional amenities for flyers including a white noise channel on Delta Radio, and new BusinessElite amenity kits featuring Tumi and Malin+Goetz products.

Delta is showcased its renewed focus on sleep at TED2013 in Long Beach, California, Feb. 26-March 1. The airline hosted a talk from world famous Oxford neuroscientist and sleep expert Dr. Russell Foster addressing jet lag and how the eye tells time and demonstrate his research in action with the world's first Photon Shower.

Delta and Westin and looking to make your travel experience easier and more comfortable. I'll get a good night's rest just knowing that.
