National Commercial Manager, Sealy Sustainable and durable products in hot demand in the hospitality industry. SEALY POSTUREPEDIC IS an Australian family owned and operated company delivering meticulously hand-crafted mattresses that not only look good but also feature unique technology that is backed by scientific research and testing. Our investment in qualified research allows us to deliver sleep solutions with unmatched product performance to the hospitality industry. Throughout 2023, we worked closely with a number of leading hospitality partners delivering quality and durable mattresses that will continue delivering the highest guest satisfaction for many years to come. We have continued to grow our local partnerships and have also developed some new and exciting relationships that continue to flourish into 2024. We continue to be focused on developing ranges specifically designed with guest satisfaction and performance top of mind, whilst also being perfectly equipped to withstand the rigours of the hospitality industry. We use only the best, premium, Australian-sourced materials so every single mattress we produce reflects the richness and authenticity of pure Australian craftsmanship. Every detail, from the initial design concept to the final stitching, is handled with precision and care by our
dedicated team across our six local manufacturing facilities in Australia and New Zealand. This commitment and approach to manufacturing distinguishes our bedding from alternatives, providing a unique touch that enhances the overall guest experience. There is an increasingly emerging requirement for sustainable and durable products for the hospitality industry. Importantly, our local manufacturing facilities adhere to the highest industry practices for sustainability further emphasising our commitment to responsible production. Hotels embracing our handmade mattresses and bases not only offer guests an unparalleled experience but also make a conscious choice that resonates with environmental and local community values.

Heinrich Saayman and David Lowthian Co-Founders and Directors, SiLANT A shared vision for the future.
THE CHANGING OF the guard in 2023 did not signify a new beginning for us, but rather a continuation and a preservation of our status quo, albeit under a new brand, SiLANT (Pronounced “silent”). It was the amalgamation of two entities that had the same goals in mind and shared the same strong believes of customer values. Under the SiLANT brand, we have expanded our operations across Australasia with new headquarters in western Sydney and strengthened existing partnerships with industry leaders, such as SONIFI, Ruckus, Assa Abloy and Genetec enabling us to offer the hospitality industry integrated communications networks. Our goal is to provide cutting-edge, high-quality products and services and we continuously achieve this through development and investing in great talent and technology.
Technology will be used to automate and reduce costs, guests will expect all hotels to have the same if not better offerings as to what they have at home or at work, this will create increasing challenges for those properties that have not updated or future-proofed their in-room guest entertainment offerings for their guests. One of the most critical aspects of providing a beneficial guest experience will be an integrated communications network with high-speed capability to cater for the ever-increasing demand for content. In approaching years, I envision TVs (especially for hotel models) to develop to new heights and will become the central point in a room for interaction. This will continue to improve the visitor experience as new content applications emerge. n hotelmanagement.com.au
