Guest comfort
Our factory has been located in Aubonne, between Lau- sanne and Geneva, ever since it was founded in 1895. Our mattresses, bed bases, bed frames and beds are all artisa- nally made in our workshops in accordance with Swiss La- bel quality standards. Each one is a unique item with outstanding finishings.
Elite is also very much a re- search laboratory, constant- ly seeking the best possible comfort. We draw on the experience of usability and sleep specialists and other experts to innovate and ensure our clientele gets the very best in comfort - and beds with unrivalled durability.
Each of our products is de- signed to provide the best possible sleeping comfort for your guests, whatever their build. Online reviews are una- nimous - and full of praise. Hundreds of hotels enlist our services to make sure their clientele are happy: after all, a guest who gets a good night’s sleep is a guest who’ll stay again!
Elite has developed a range of products especially designed to meet the requirements of the hotel business. Our knowhow allows us to offer solutions for all types of hotels, ensuring room profitability. Our innovative solutions faci- litate the work of housekee- ping staff; our mattresses, bed bases and headboards can all be made to measure.
Our mattresses are made to last and are European Eco- label certified, demonstrating our commitment to protec- ting your guests’ resources and health. Elite beds offer you the prospect of an ad- ditional star through inter- national sustainable tourism certification; our responsible bedding is an additional sales argument for an environmen- tally aware clientele.
Our Smart Lease provides risk-free finance for your in- vestments in mattresses and beds: the amount you pay depends on your occupan- cy rate; what used to be an overhead becomes a variable cost. You can use our MyS- martLease platform to check occupancy, wear and tear, and the need to clean each bed - in real time; our Ecoclean service then takes care of bed disinfection in line with Hotel- lerieSuisse standards.

HOTELITE | 10 O An authentic lifestyle In a globalised world, Elite’s craftsmen and women continue to do their work using traditional expertise; our local, Swiss production uses only the best natural raw materials. Swiss craftsmanship takes time, guaranteeing impeccable levels of comfort, durability and finishing as we produce the best beds in the world. OUR PHILOSOPHY
ECOLABEL CERTIFICATION Quality and environmental responsibility are at the heart of what we do. The EU Ecolabel certifies that the materials used to manufacture our products do not contain chemicals. These European standards guarantee a high-quality product that will not be detrimental to the health of your guests – or the environment. Elite mattresses have achieved excellent results in the quality and strength tests carried out by the specialised TÜV institute as part of European Ecolabel certification.

O OUTSTANDING COMFORT – AND MAXIMUM BACK SUPPORT Elite holds the key to a good night’s sleep; each of our products is designed to improve sleep comfort. Our expertise has allowed us to adapt to the changes in sleeping habits and individual sleep requirements down through the years. Choosing to sleep in an Elite bed is a guarantee of bespoke back support at every point, thanks to the use of pocket springs and distinct comfort zones. HOTELITE | 12
THE BEST MATERIALS TO ENSURE THE BEST NIGHT’S SLEEP EVER As artisans, we’re free to choose the very best raw materials – wherever possible, the most natural, and of course the healthiest, to ensure our customers’ wellbeing. These naturally non-flammable materials provide temperature regulation to ensure nights are spent in a dry, healthy environment.

HOTELITE | 14 E ELITE BEDS The most important piece of furniture in a hotel room Elite has developed a specific range of beds for hotels. Due to their intensive use, these beds need to be made of exceptionally hard-wearing materials to ensure they have a reasonable lifespan, as well as delivering constant comfort and wellbeing for their users.
MATTRESSES Extremely comfortable, extremely durable Unlike mattresses designed for private individuals, hotel mattresses need to satisfy a succession of hotel guests with completely different body shapes and habits, whilst providing outstanding comfort and the best possible back support. Due to their intensive use, these mattresses need to be made of exceptionally hard-wearing materials to ensure their durability as well as provide constant comfort and wellbeing for guests throughout the lifetime of the mattress. Our Hotelite range of mattresses meets all these criteria – and many more! BED BASES Bed bases are just as important as mattresses! Mattresses and bed bases form an inseparable duo that’s vital for guest comfort. Elite has been making bed bases using its unique know-how for over a century. You won’t find anything sturdier: they’re carved from solid wood and assembled in traditional fashion.
MATTRESS TOPPERS A touch of comfort that makes all the difference Guests at premium hotels are increasingly seeking soft, gentle comfort that blends seamlessly with the concepts of relaxation, wellness, and recharging their batteries during much-needed breaks from their stressful lifestyles. Mattress toppers perform this function of relaxation, ensuring your guests benefit from an unforgettable stay; they’ll remember your establishment as a haven of comfort that gave them a chance to unwind.

HOTELITE | 20 B BED LIFTS “Ergonomics and productivity go hand in hand” Our bed lift system improves workplace ergonomics and facilitates the work of cleaning staff, doing away with the need to bend down or move items that are too heavy. The bed lift makes full cleaning faster and simpler, too, improving working conditions and boosting cleaning staff productivity.
In raised position, the bed lift makes the job of cleaning staff much easier: they can clean beneath the bed base and make the bed at a comfortable height.
A remote control allows the bed to be lifted effortlessly to a height of up to 28cm and set back 15cm from the bed head.
When lowered, the bed lift is naturally concealed beneath the bed base, being roughly as high as a bed leg.
