The European Men's Football Championship is dominating the media landscape and every nation is following the performance of its team with great interest. The footballers' accommodation has also become the focus of public interest. The new mattresses in the Swiss team hotel therefore became a topic of discussion in the major daily newspapers, as the quality of the hotel beds is of great importance for the extensive selection process of the team's accommodation in the run-up to a championship. After careful consideration, the Swiss national team opted for the exclusive Waldhotel in Stuttgart, whereby factors such as tranquillity, training facilities and infrastructure were also important. The 4-star superior hotel had also made intensive preparations to ensure the highest standards for the players, especially when it came to the beds. The “Blick” and “20 Minuten” newspapers, which are among the media with the widest reach in Switzerland, have also reported extensively on the beds. As “Blick” states “(...) ...that all 96 rooms have been fitted with new, Swiss-made mattresses in recent weeks. Xhaka and Co. can therefore look forward to restful nights.”

These mattresses are products from Swissfeel, a leading manufacturer of sustainable mattresses based in Zurich. Jörg Grede, Managing Director of the Waldhotel Stuttgart: “After a long search and many tests, we specifically chose Swissfeel and their washable mattresses. In addition to the best sleeping comfort, we want to offer our guests authentically sustainable products in the future. In addition, washable mattresses have a clear hygiene advantage that did not exist before. And that is exactly what Swissfeel guarantees. The fact that the Swiss national team will be the first to sleep on Swiss mattresses is actually a coincidence of timing. But of course we are delighted that the nights here are virtually home games for the Swiss.”

Swissfeel, which has been presenting itself as a full-range supplier for the first time since 2024 via its new product catalog and supplies complete hotel beds and their furnishings, is the first manufacturer to also offer a washing and subsequent recycling service for its mattresses. SWISSFEEL-2-CYCLE opens up completely new possibilities for the market to exploit the potential associated with a hotel bed. Be it in saving CO2, reducing costs or simplifying work on and with the bed itself. Swissfeel has given this important element of hotel furnishings a new dimension. Philipp Hangartner, owner of Swissfeel AG, adds: “As a Swiss national, I am of course personally very proud that the Waldhotel Stuttgart has chosen us and that our national team in Germany can now lie on my products. We were not aware of this in the run-up to the bidding phase. All the more reason for me to welcome the Waldhotel's clear commitment to quality. Because quality always prevails - even in football.”
