Need to make a mattress run? here's the site that finds you the cheapest solution

A discussion of the our Facebook group reminded me of a site I use, a couple of times a year, when I organize my Mattress Run.

What is a mattress run

I have already explained it in several articles and videos, the mattress run è the hotel version of the mileage run, that is, of a stay (or series of stays) made solely to obtain status.

As needed: qualifying stays or nights it is possible to design a strategy that will lead to achieving the goal With minimal effort.

For example, by cumulating promotions, taking advantage of any fast tracks or specific initiatives that are sent to the individual user.

For example, this is the promo received from one of our readers, an initiative that we had told in this article, and that allows those interested to get to Diamond Hilton with very little effort.

The site that helps you find the most convenient solution

The domain name of this site says it all: hotelmattressrun.com It is basically A search engine that can identify based on the data provided by the user, the best solution possible to make a run of the mattresses in the Hilton, Marriott and IHG houses.

It is very useful the Function that allows you to start from a location by expanding the search radius, especially if you aim to coincide this activity with a trip abroad to areas where hotel rooms are cheaper than back home. For example, in Turkey or China it is possible to find chain hotels at prices as low as €30 per night.

Of course, it is good to remember that in Marriott and IHG only nights stayed count for status purposes. while in Hilton it is possible to halve the time by focusing on single stays.

I always try to focus my chases when there are some promotions that earn double qualifying nights, This way I also reduce the economic outlay.

I check in in person, sometimes I sleep one night in that hotel and then leave again other times, however, I don't even enter the room, and the only caution I have to have is not to rebook in the same chain while I am making one of these stays.

For example. my behavior with Hilton, since I have been chasing the Diamond, is always in the mattress run mentality.

If I sleep two nights in Milan or New York, I will never do two consecutive nights in the same hotel, this way I will put two qualifying stays in my pocket. Just as I will be doing in a few days in Polynesia 7 nights in hotels will be divided among 4 different facilities, of which 3 are Hilton own Because I have to cross the finish line of the 30th stay in 2025 and guarantee my status until February 2027.

I do the chek-out via app or just don't do it, because nowadays hotels have express check-out where you just stuff your card and go.

Is it legal?

Let's say it's not against any regulations, therefore does not fall within the tricks that don't work When trying to cheat the system. Of course you have to check-in in person and you don't have to "resell" your reservation to friends and family.

As always, you have to do the math well in your pocket, the game as always must be worth the candle. Status in hotels, as in hotel chains, must be pursued if it is then exploited.
