Buy or rent your hotel's mattresses: how to decide

The mattress is one of the few pieces of hotel equipment that every guest uses for the whole length of their stay. Here is what you need to choose between buying and renting.

By Noctaria by Innoflex, mattress manufacturer in Casablanca ·

What buying costs

A top-tier mattress represents a budget of MAD 10,000 to 12,000. For twenty mattresses, the property pays out MAD 200,000 to 240,000 before selling a single night on them.

On top of that purchase price come items that are rarely budgeted: replacing a damaged mattress, removing the old ones and, in time, a new investment to renew everything.

What renting covers

In a rental, the manufacturer remains the owner of the mattresses. The property pays a rate per mattress per night, which includes delivery, installation, removal of the old mattresses, the guarantee for the full term of the contract and the replacement of defective mattresses.

With Noctaria by Innoflex, that rate starts at MAD 7 excl. tax per mattress per night, depending on plan and sizes.

The calculation for twenty mattresses

Buying: MAD 200,000 to 240,000 paid out at once, then upkeep and replacement at your expense.

Renting: from MAD 4,200 excl. tax per month (MAD 7 × 20 mattresses × 30 nights), service included, with no upfront outlay.

The rent is recorded in operating expenses; cash remains available for what fills rooms: renovation, distribution, teams.

Hygiene when renting

The first question to ask a mattress rental provider: are the mattresses new, and what happens to them afterwards? With Noctaria by Innoflex, every property receives new mattresses, and a returned mattress is never rented out again to another property.

The cover is removable and washable, the mattresses are given an anti-dust-mite treatment and each mattress is delivered with its protector.

When to rent, when to buy

Renting makes sense when cash is better used elsewhere, when the property is aiming for a level of sleep quality it would not finance outright, or when no one in-house should be managing mattress replacement.

Buying keeps its appeal for a property that has the capital, wants to own its equipment and organises its own upkeep. Noctaria mattresses are available under both formulas.

Questions to ask before signing

  1. Are the mattresses delivered new, and are they re-rented afterwards?
  2. How long is the commitment?
  3. On what basis is the rent billed, and how often?
  4. In which cases is a mattress replaced, and how quickly?
  5. When and how are the mattresses renewed?
  6. Are the old mattresses taken back?

These six points are set out in the contract. Ask for them in writing before comparing two offers.
