It's chilly at night, and the fine folks at Holiday Inn have found an "innovative" way to warm things up:

International hotel chain Holiday Inn is offering a trial human bed-warming service at three hotels in Britain this month.

If requested, a willing staff-member at two of the chain's London hotels and one in the northern English city of Manchester will dress in an all-in-one fleece sleeper suit before slipping between the sheets.

"The new Holiday Inn bed warmers service is a bit like having a giant hot water bottle in your bed," Holiday Inn spokeswoman Jane Bednall said in an emailed statement to Reuters.

Sounds pretty cushy! I can see the job advertisements now: "Are you a clean, fresh-scented person? Willing to lay down on the job? Have we got a deal for you..."
