Six out of 10 people agreed they missed their bed and bedding more than their family when on holiday.
The shock news came from a survey by leading bedding company Silentnight, which looked into what makes a dream holiday for British consumers.
Peace and home comforts are top of the list, with 52 percent of British holidaymakers just wanting rest and relaxation above everything else. Some 41 percent of respondents listed a good night’s sleep as a key criteria for a dream holiday, with 75 percent of respondents saying that fluffy pillows and duvets were more important than a balcony or mini bar in the hotel room. Clearly a sign of missing their own bed.
Nick Booth from Silentnight said: “With increasingly busy lives, it’s understandable that we are all looking to get away just to unwind, relax and sleep! And a good bed is of course key to a good night’s rest.”
Sadly only 11 percent of survey respondents are confident that they will get to visit all their dream holiday destinations. That’s despite the fact that for 60 percent, there are only two places on our list of dream holidays.
Other main findings of the survey:
88 percent of consumers have less than five dream holiday destinations
30 percent have never visited any of our dream destinations
The top six things that could ruin a good holiday are:
1. Noisy, badly behaved children.
2. Drunk people.
3. The accommodation not being as described.
4. Bad food.
5. Being unable to sleep.
6. People hogging the sun loungers.
