 INTRODUCTION

“EVERYONE DESERVES A COMFORTABLE AND SOUND SLEEP,

AND THIS IS WHAT WE PROVIDE.”

Guest is God, and providing the guest with more and more comfort is what hospitality is all
about. But we forget about the time where the guest have to wait, let it be an airport, where
he waits for hours for his delayed flight or a railway station where he waits for his next train
in a transit for hours. It is the responsibility of the organization to provide the guest with a
comfortable and sound waiting time. This is where the role of our ECO FRIENDLY
PORTABLE BED comes in play.

Our bed is designed in such a way that it can be folded and stacked one over the another and
when needed can be unfolded and converts into a full sized bed. As it can be folded into a
small box it can be kept in airports and railway stations, so when required can be used by the
guest to have comfortable waiting time just by unfolding and relaxing on it. This will provide
the guest with a new experience as well as a comfortable and cozy waiting time.

Our bed is made up of 100% recycled cardboard so is also environmental friendly. It requires
no screws, nuts or tools unlike other steel made beds so is easy to use and assemble. The bed
is a single crafted piece of cardboard so it has no additional bits or pieces and requires no
additional packaging of plastic. The bed is light in weight but will not easily fall apart even
with hard usage and even with light body it can sustain more weight. Just like an ANT, it can
sustain 100times of its own weight. The secret of this cardboard bed sustaining more weight
lies in the correct construction and the selection of proper cardboard. It will also be cost
effective for the organization as it is extremely durable and can sustain time.

Aim : Providing the guests with portable bed for providing their comfort.

Objective:

To build a portable bed which is cost efficient.

To create a eco friendly bed.

To give the guest ease of use.

To start the trend of eco friendly and portable beds.

To provide the guest with something new and interesting.

Limitations:

It requires a proper storage, away from moisture.

It is not as comfortable as a regular bed.

Improper handling can lead to collapsing of the bed .

 Review of Literature

Stress at Hotel Industry.

Employee stress is a significant issue in the hospitality industry, and it is costly for employers
and employees alike. Although addressing and reducing stress is both a noble goal and is
capable of resulting in expense reductions for employers, the nature and quantity of
hospitality employee stress is not fully understood. The first aim of this study was to identify
common work stressors in a sample of 164 managerial and hourly workers employed at 65
different hotels who were each interviewed for eight consecutive days. The two most
common stressors were interpersonal tensions at work and overloads (e.g., technology not
functioning). The second aim was to determine whether there were differences in the types
and frequency of work stressors by job type (i.e., managers v. non-managers), gender, and
marital status. Hotel managers reported significantly more stressors than hourly employees.
There were no significant differences by gender or marital status. The third aim was to
investigate whether the various stressors were linked to hotel employee health and work
outcomes. More employee and coworker stressors were linked to more negative physical
health symptoms. Also, interpersonal tensions at work were linked to lower job satisfaction
and greater turnover intentions

What is ‘eco friendly portable bed’ ?

It is a new innovation of beds which can be easily folded and unfolded, is light in weight but
durable and is easy to use. Our bed is made up of 100% recycled cardboard so is also
environmental friendly. It requires no screws, nuts or tools unlike other steel made beds so is
easy to use and assemble. The bed is a single crafted piece of cardboard so it has no
additional bits or pieces and requires no additional packaging of plastic. The bed is light in
weight but will not easily fall apart even with hard usage and even with light body it can
sustain more weight.

Maximizing guest comfort :

It becomes very tiring for the guest to wait for hours for their flights or trains in airports and
railway stations. Our bed helps them to easily setup a bed in which they can relax while the
waiting period. It is easy to assemble and is comfortable as well, and the guest will have a
comfortable time relaxing on this bed.

Why Portable bedding system :

9
The portable bed is developed in such a way that is easy to use, durable, comfortable and
value for money. It is made keeping in mind the requirement of the organization and the
guest.
Organization requires things that use minimal storage and are portable, which this bed
provides. Guest requires comfort and easy usage and this bed fulfills this requirement as well.
It is a smart and cost effective method of providing the guest with a comfortable time.

Research Methodology

The research methodology adopted for the present study has been discussed below which has
helped to lead a righteous path for authentication of the study.

Research Methodology:

Methodology is the systematic, practical analysis of the methods applied to a field of study.
Typically, it encompasses concepts as practical model. Research methodology does not set
out to provide solutions.

Research Design:

For the above study, an experimental research design was carried out as it helps to understand or
explore the possibilities of carrying out a research aimed to study and build eco friendly portable
bed for Hospitality Industry.

Selection of Area:

The area selected for the research were airports and railway stations as the requirement of
these beds are more in these sectors, as these sectors face the problem of delayed flights and
trains which makes the guests annoyed and tired.

Application :

10
1.It can be used in airports, and railway stations.

2.It can be used in bunker of hotels where the drivers and hotels staff can stay during break
hours.

3.People can carry it to picnic spots to where they can have sound and comfortable sleep in
their tents.

Steps to follow for preparing the experiment

Step 1 : Preparation of the base. (2meters in length)

Step 2 : Attaching of base with the supporting pillars and flat top

11
 Step 3 : pressing the bed to make a box,

Step 4 : attachment of handles will make it easy to carry and use

12
 Results

We have successfully built the portable bed, and is working efficiently without any problems.

The portable bed is convenient to use, is reliable and creates better guest experience.

13
 Conclusion
Conclusion of the experiment is that the bed is working properly as expected when tested. It

folds and unfolds smoothly and is able to sustain the weight of a person without any stress on

base. It is light in weight and is easy to carry.

Suggestion and Recommendation

From the above study, the researcher suggests the following:

It is important that to study and build the portable bedding system for Hospitality Industry
should be uplifted by various promotional activities.

The respective organizations should also create more awareness about portable bedding
system as it is very easy to use, comfortable, beneficial, cost effective and eco friendly

Advertising and marketing of the portable bedding systems for Hospitality Industry is
essential as it will help to increase the comfort of the guest during halts or waiting time.
