Direct answer summary
Aireloom manufactures Macy's flagship 'Hotel Collection by Aireloom' as a private-label department store line. Comparing the published specifications of the Macy's Hotel Collection and Aireloom's standard retail Preferred Streamline collection shows the same internal engineering: both feature the patented 'Aireloom Lift' chamber (a natural breathing chamber that expands under body weight), hand-tufting, natural Talalay latex, and high-density pocket coils. Macy's features a custom Damask quilt.

Interior comfort stack (natural Talalay latex, hand-tufted cotton, pocket coils) is identical.
Macy's offers frequent promotional sales, making it the most cost-effective way to buy Aireloom.
