Hospitality Games include Sealy bed-making contest
By David Perry -- Furniture Today, March 31, 2003
Trinity, N.C. — Sealy sponsored a bed-making competition during the first annual Hospitality Games, held recently in Chicago. Created by the Illinois Hotel and Lodging Assn., hotel employees from than two dozen properties competed in four events.
Teams of up to 14 contestants from each participating hotel competed in the Sealy "Bednastics". In the event, housekeepers faced off against each other to determine which team could make beds the fastest.
Other Hospitality Games events included the Bell Cart Wheelie, the Servers' Slalom and Some Assembly Required, a test of engineering and maintenance skills. Overall team trophies were awarded, as well as individual prizes for the top-three finishers in each event. The hotel team that showed the most spirit also was presented with an award. The top Sealy Bednastics winners took home the actual queen-size bed sets used in the competition.
The Sealy mattresses used in the Bednastics event were supplied by Sealy's Contract Division, which handles all the company's business outside of retail. The beds are manufactured with many of the same state-of-the-art components and materials found in Sealy's consumer product lines. Sealy does business globally with many leading hotel chains, including Sheraton, Hyatt, Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton and Le Meridien.
Local Chicago celebrity Mike Adamle, a WBBM-TV sports anchor and former Northwestern University and Chicago Bears' star, served as master of ceremonies for this high-energy event. Over 600 competitors and cheering supporters attended.
