How To Buy A Mattress Sleep Number Bed Twitter Party

by 213 Comments

My husband and I purchased a Sleep Number bed in February of this year. Sometimes we feel guilty about spending so much on a bed, but then when we wake up each morning refreshed and without back pain we know we made the right choice. Before deciding on the Sleep Number bed we tried quite a few different mattresses. We tried a foam mattress and I hated it right away but since my husband said he we ok, I was willing to endure. After a few months he felt as I did, we were sleeping in a whole and it was hard to get out of. We tried two other mattresses and both were equally bad in different ways. So my advice is, if you’re looking to get a new mattress, check out the return policy so you can try it out for a while and return it.

Another Select Comfort #Giveaway

by 835 Comments

Oh boy Do I have a story to tell you!

We have been looking for the perfect bed. Our bed was I don’t know, 8 years old or more..give or take, mostly take I think! And we have been trying out mattress after mattress. We’ve tried and returned 3 mattress.

At one time, I had 3 mattress, one set of box springs, and an air mattress in my house at the same time!!!

Microloft Sheet SetI was in the middle of this mess, when Select Comfort, the makers of the Sleep Number Bed contacted me and asked me to do a review and giveaway of their Microloft Sheets!

Microloft Sheet Sets, flannel-alternative sheets which are the perfect addition to any winter bed for extra coziness on cold nights.

They sounded like they were made just for me!

Anyways, my loft was full of mattresses, and we had a King Size mattress in our room, and I thought it would still be there when the sheets arrived. Well, my dh actually had the bed picked up and returned. Umm, yeah, I was in shock, he actually had it returned.

Yes, I knew he was going to, but I never thought it would actually get done in a timely manner.

So what did we do?

We went bed shopping. Again!

This time, I asked my husband if he would consider getting a Sleep Number Bed. So we went there first!

That was the last store we went to! I found my sleep number 35! We bought a bed.

Now when it comes I’ll have to actually test out the sheets and tell you if I like them or not and how the heat transfer technology works with the i8 cooling action. I’ll also have to tell you all about my new bed when it comes, but it won’t come for another 2 weeks and Select Comfort wants to wrap up this campaign soon! So…..

I can tell you one thing, the sheets are so soft! Really Soft, wrap myself in teddy bears soft.

Save Money at Sleep Number we did, we saved 705.00! Woo Hoo!

Show Teacher Appreciation to Win a Select Comfort Sleep Number Bed

by 1 Comment

sleepnumber Don’t we all have a teacher in our lives that touched us in some way. Select Comfort the makers of the Sleep Number Bed are holding a contest where you can win a Queen size Sleep Number p5 bed, just like the one I gave away a month ago. I can not believe it was a month ago, where does the time go?

I had a lot of great teachers over the years. My favorite one was Mrs. Faber in 8th grade. She was the science teacher and since I was in the smart kids class I had her twice a day. Middle school can be really difficult, kids are nasty. We’re picked on for what we wear, what we do, what we say, it’s awful. So not only was she an excellent Earth Science, and Physical Science teacher; she was also a teacher of “duh” you guys sure are dumb for being so smart. I know I was one of the kids that other kids in the class were calling a “nerd”. I wasn’t the only one though. Some of the smart kids were so clicky, that if you weren’t in the click, then you were a nerd, a geek, or some other nickname that was chosen by the ring leader of the day. So one day, before she starts class she rips into all of us. She goes on to tell us how tired she is of all the name calling, and BullSh** that’s going on in the class. She said you guys have got to start treating each other with respect, and most importantly, we were all in the SMART class, so we were all nerds, geeks and weirdoes.

That’s the short version, but what’s your story? Share your story and win a bed and a prize for the teacher you love.

 

Contest Details:

Please submit a short essay or video about how a teacher helped you or your child succeed. The best entry will receive a Queen SLEEP NUMBER® p5 bed set, and the teacher in the winning essay will receive a SLEEP NUMBER® Bedding Collection package valued at more than $500! Entries will be judged on creativity of entry, quality of entry, and capturing the essence of the contest theme. Your entry can be either a 1,000 character-limit (including spaces) essay or a video (no longer than one minute long). Videos must be posted on youtube, simply paste your link in the entry form below. Limit one entry per person. Enter by 6/6/10 and must be 18+ to enter. For more information, please visit www.sleepnumber.com/teachercontest.

It’s Allergy Season: Allergy Tips

by 3 Comments

 

File:Tissue.jpg
Select Comfort’s Vice President of Sleep Innovation and Clinical Research, Pete Bils – who has been researching sleep for more than ten years, has several sleep tips for those dealing with allergies.

1. Clean your bedroom weekly. This includes floors, furniture, tops of doors, window frames/sills, etc. with a damp cloth.

2.  Vacuum carpet and upholstery regularly.

3. Vacuum bed upholstery. Better yet, get a bed, like the Sleep Number bed which allows you to actually open and vacuum the inside of your bed too.

4. Wash curtains often and bedding weekly at 130+ degrees to kill dust mites.

5. Use allergen barrier covers for your mattress and pillows.

6. Undress in another room to avoid bringing outside allergens into the bedroom.

7. Keep pets out of the bedroom.

8. Keep room at humidity below 50 percent to reduce dust mite population and mold growth.

9. Regularly launder stuffed animals.

10. Use a high quality HEPA air filter in the bedroom.

Select Comfort Sleep Number Bed Giveaway

by

Select Comfort makers of the Sleep Number bed have given me the unique opportunity of giving one of their beds away. So I wanted to fully understand the product; I played investigative reporter over the last few weeks gathering information from twitter followers, on-line and one-on-one in the local Select Comfort Sleep Number bed store. I learned quite a bit about these beds and I really want one. I wanted one before all of this research, but now my guns are fully loaded the next time I ask my husband for one. The best thing about everything I learned is that everyone loves their bed. Why? Lots of reasons!

The Sleep Number mattresses use the latest anti-microbial treatments in all foams, and all bed covers are treated to be anti-microbial and anti-fungal. Additionally, unlike traditional innerspring mattresses, the Sleep Number bed has a unique zip-open design that allows you to easily open and view the inside of your bed, and ventilate or vacuum, if you choose.

What does this mean?

It means, within an hour of touching the foams, and bed covers with the anti-microbial treatment the germs that transferred are almost completely depleted. Visit your local Sleep Number bed store to see the demo for yourself. Both of my kids took turns going through the demo with the store associate that answered all of my questions. It also means the Sleep Number beds are filled with air by a wired or wireless remote depending upon the bed allowing you to create the perfect sleep number. You can unzip it and vacuum out all of the dust, which should help with seasonal allergies and moving this bed from one house to another is a lot easier than traveling with regular mattresses because it has no springs.

Select Comfort offers 8 core SLEEP NUMBER® bed models to choose from; each providing a sleep number anywhere from 5 to 100 in factors of 5. Due to the unique nature of the Sleep Number bed, it can sometimes take a period of time to adapt to the bed and find your ideal Sleep Number setting. It carries a 20-year manufacturer’s limited warranty.

How does it work?

Each bed has an air chamber that is filled with air to meet your desired firmness. The Queen and King have two air chambers so that couples can each find their own sleep number. (for those of you that will keep the bed to yourself, you can find the Queen size with just one air chamber). The 8 models are broken down into three different categories: The Sleep Number Classic Series, The Sleep Number Performance Series and the Innovation Series. The Performance and Innovation Series both have a whisper quiet filling system with a wireless remote, ensuring that if your sleeping partner makes an adjustment you are not woken up.

A complete line of hypoallergenic Sleep Number bedding accessories is also available, including bed pillows, pillow protectors, mattress pads, blankets and comforters. For more information or to learn more about their allergy reducing products, please visit them at www.sleepnumber.com.
