Disney Cruise Line Bed- Mattress, Sheets, and Pillows
I can confidently say that the best sleep I’ve ever had in my adult life was on a Disney Cruise. It could be the boat gently rocking. It could be the knowledge that I can wake up whenever I want.
It could be that if my 7-year-old wakes me up at 4AM trying to crawl under my bed because she has to go to the bathroom for the 37th time, I can put her in the Oceaneer’s Club in the morning and go back to sleep. And let’s not forget the lack of responsibility, the disconnect from technology, and pixie dust.
But it could also be the bed. For most Disney Cruise Line guests, the beds are extremely comfortable. Some people even claim in forums that chronic hip, neck, and shoulder pain magically disappears on a Disney cruise ship. And a lot of the guests return home to find that their own bed just doesn’t cut it anymore.
So below I’ll let you know where you can reassemble the perfect night’s sleep when you return to land. If you’ve just returned from the Disney Wish, the Disney Fantasy, or one of the other boats, here’s how you can sleep again.
Disney Cruise Mattress- Biscayne Bedding Diamond Euro Top
Disney Cruise Line mattresses come from Biscayne Bedding International, a Miami, Florida based company. The model is called Diamond Euro Top on the Biscayne website.

According to the Biscayne website, the mattress features 800 individually pocketed coils for no motion transfer, true six-sided foam encasement for additional edge support, durable Tencel knit fabric, tack-and-jump quilting for additional comfort and support, high-density foam for comfort and durability, gel-infused memory foam for pressure relief, and three inches of five-zoned convoluted foam for zoned support.
I don’t know what all of that means, but Gel-infused memory foam made me feel more relaxed just reading it, and I can confirm that the edge support is great. I didn’t fall off when my wife kneed me in the back in her sleep. And I wasn’t even mad because the bed is that comfortable.
I emailed Biscayne to ask about it, and they told me that the name of the mattress was the Diamond Euro Top. In a recent update, they informed me that Quality Sleep Direct is the best place to buy it.
Here’s where you can buy it. There’s are the links that Biscayne recommends you use. (None of these are affiliate links)

I should note that in the forums, a few (not a majority) of people complained that their new mattress was not as soft as the cruise line mattress. Customer service told them to give it several months to break in.

Disney Cruise Pillows- Harbor Linen New Generation
But maybe my amazing slumber came from the pillows. The pillows are most commonly called Harbor Linen New Generation, and they come in medium and firm. But here’s the bad news, I can only find what appear to be the medium ones for sale to the general public. If you liked the medium ones, where your head sinks down a little bit, you can recreate your Disney cruise experience.
Most people in reviews across the internet loved the pillow and felt the same magical experience of Mickey tucking them in, but several complained that it was not as firm as they were expecting. Or, maybe our heads just weigh more when we’re not floating on the ocean.
According to our baby, just putting your hands on the pillows can make you sleep like a baby.
The pillow is a non-allergenic, down imitation pillow. This also explains the need to fluff it up occasionally. The company also produces a more expensive pillow made of actual duck feathers. Somewhere a plucked Donald Duck is seething.
Also, if you don’t use my links and decide to Google it yourself, you’ll find it hard to find Harbor Linen. That’s because T-Y Group, Harbor Linen, and Riegel Linen merged to become a super-group for hotel and cruise bedding called 1Concier. You’ll find the correct info at 1Concier or Harbor Luxury Bedding. You’ll know you have the right pillow if it says 1Concier on it.
Here’s a link to the pillow if you want it. (This one is an affiliate link, so I may earn and use the commission to sleep better). It’s a third party link because 1Concier apparently doesn’t sell retail. You can, however, request a sample. I assume this is for hotel managers, but who knows?

Final note about pillows, concierge guests have a pillow menu that allows you try out other pillows besides the Harbor Linen one (the Harbor Linen/1Concier is available to all guests). I searched for a while, but I could not find the manufacturer details on those. If you happen to know the info about a different choice of pillow, I would greatly appreciate you dropping it in the comment section.
I can tell you that the concierge side sleeper is called The Honeydew Scrumptious Side Sleeping Pillow. Click below to purchase.
Disney Cruise Linens- Frette Cruise Sheets
But maybe it wasn’t the mattress or the pillow, maybe it was the sheets that allowed me to have a problem-free philosophy while on the Disney Cruise. The sheets are made by Frette and are called, appropriately, cruise sheets.
They are 300 thread count sateen cotton. The sheet sets will run you the cost of another cruise. Here’s a link (not affiliate).
Or you can purchase a similar option from Amazon here. The name sateen is the same, but they aren’t the “cruise” brand. (This one is an affiliate link). These appear to be significantly cheaper.
I used a third-party link because it appears that the Frette company doesn’t sell directly to the public, at least in the United States. They are a Bloomingdale’s exclusive in the United States.

Conclusion
If you, like me, had an amazing time sleeping on your last cruise, here’s how to best create the experience and have a good night's sleep at home. Ever since I sailed on the Disney Wonder for my family's first Disney Cruise, I get excited about the sleep as much as anything.
However, these products do not come with the Oceaneer’s Club, The Small World Nursery, turndown service, stateroom host, towel animals, chocolate on your pillow, or a gently rocking boat. All of those things sold separately (or together on a Disney Cruise).
If you've had great sleeps on other cruise lines, you'll be happy to know that many of the products are on other ships as well. I can only vouch that this items can be shipped in the United States, so keep that in mind. They all come in king size as well.
