Are hotel beds rated?
Is there any kind of bed rating system for hotels?
I would like to only rent at hotels with extremely firm mattresses. It seems to be nearly 100% hit or miss. I've stayed at hotels expensive hotels with very soft mattresses (and therefore horrible for bad backs) and I've stayed an inexpensive hotels with mattresses that are just fine. And of course visa versa.
I'd like to know 3 things
Is there any kind of mattress rating system for customers so for example I could ask the hotel, "are your beds rated ___"
Is there any kind of industry standard for hotel management. As in is it mostly just up to a random interior designer or is there some standard hotel designers follow?
Are there more than ratings than just soft -> firm. For example some beds feels firm to the touch but bow in the middle as though the mattress as no support underneath. Like a hammock. Where as you can have a soft bed that doesn't bow. I prefer firm to soft but more importantly I prefer flat to bowing.

I did not find any universal ranking system for mattress in the hospitality industry. Different corporations or chains may chose to have their own rating (and they are NOT committed to any standard).
If you are willing to risk your patience, you are advised to consider the Mattress Firmness Guide from "sleep like the dead" at your next hotel stay.
I had back issues and am Morbidly Obese, so I always asked the reservation clerks for a "Hard" mattress - and the results differ... In Japan, one hotel (its name escapes me) had six levels to choose from (Very Soft, Soft, Hard with a comfort layer, Hard, Very Hard) - but actually it was either soft or hard.
