If you’ve followed My Baking Addiction for an extended period of time, you may remember that Brian and I redecorated our master bedroom last year. You may also recall that I often complain about the fact that I don’t get much sleep. I like to blame it on stress, anxiety, work, Brian, or too much iced tea – regardless of where the blame falls – this girl simply doesn’t get enough sleep – ever.

After our recent trip to St. Lucia and pretty much the best sleep of our lives, Brian and I decided on the plane ride home that without a doubt, we needed to purchase a king bed. Brian is a tall guy – and his 6’5″ frame simply is not made for a queen bed. Why it took us 6 years and a trip to the Caribbean to figure this out is beyond me. We were obsessed with a new bed and being that we’re both partial to instant gratification, we rushed into the purchase and had a new bed within about a week after returning home.

At first we were thrilled with the new bed – it was huge and I was all about the fact that I could sleep without half my body hanging off the mattress and it was a bonus that Brian’s arm wasn’t accidentally jacking me in the nose at 2am. True story. This has happened countless times. However, after about 2 weeks, the mattress was not so amazing and we found ourselves less comfortable than we were in the queen bed, so we returned the mattress – twice. I felt like Goldilocks and the Three Beds. Seriously – the mattresses were either too hard or too soft – none were just right. However, we thought the people at the mattress store were starting to question our sanity, so we decided to keep the final mattress and complained about it daily for months.

A couple of months ago, I was contacted by the lovely folks at Sleep Number. They asked if I would be willing to review a Sleep Number mattress and share my tips for turning a bedroom into a Sleep Haven. Of course, we were immediately intrigued, so we headed to the mall the following day to do a little investigating before we agreed to work with Sleep Number.

From the moment we plopped ourselves down on the Sleep Number i10 bed, we were smitten. You see Brian and I have very differing opinions on mattress comfort. I prefer my bed to be on the soft, squishy side and Brian prefers his to be much firmer. The Sleep Number’s dual-layer design allows both of us to personalize our comfort. It’s this technology that makes Sleep Number technology absolutely perfect for couples like Brian and I. In fact, our Sleep Numbers are quite different – I fluctuate between a 35 and 40 while Brian’s magic number is 65.

creating a bedroom haven

As though i10 Sleep Number bed wasn’t enough, Sleep Number wanted to further our comfort by sending us a set of their In Balance sheets and two incredibly amazing pillows. I can honestly say that I’ve never slept better in my life. Brian and I agree that we fall asleep much faster and don’t awaken nearly as often during the night. Both of these factors definitely allow us to wake up more refreshed and ready to start our day. This is kind of a big deal, because I am so not a morning a person!

Since I’m sleeping like a baby, I think my incredibly awesome readers should have the opportunity create their own Sleep Haven.

    When we got married, I had a rather *awkward* conversation with my mother in law (who I love dearly, but stil…) who felt she had to warn me that my soon to be husband was “quite the wriggler” and to inform me that a king sized bed was a must!! Best. Advice. Ever. Next best piece of advice? Get a super king sized cover so that he can’t hog it all in the night!

    I’ve heard raves about the Sleep Number beds, but have never fully considered one because of the price; little too rich for my blood.
    Maybe one day…

    I have only just discovered your blog recently & I love it.
    Keep up the great work!

      Ali-
      I wish I could take credit for that bedroom. That’s actually an image from Sleep Number because my photos were less than amazing due to our gray walls and recent gray skies. Thanks for stopping by!

      Oh my goodness! I didn’t read closely enough. That makes sense though — I remembered the pics from your actual bedroom, ALSO very cute!!! :) Love your style!

    I love my Sleep Number bed. We have had our california king for 3 years and I can say it was one of the best investments we ever made. Enjoy!

  5. Amy Tong says:

    Wow, I heard of Sleep Number Beds since long ago…but haven’t try them out yet. Our old mattress started to lose supports and we’re think about getting a new one. Your review came just in time. I can’t wait to find out and learn more about the Sleep Number Beds. hm…maybe I should head to the mall and check it out too!

  6. Deanna Roumimper says:

    OMG, my husband and I have wanted to try the sleep number bed forever! I am definately a softer bed girl and my husband is a firmer. I am looking forward to more details!

  7. Christine says:

    We’re in the market for a new bed…my reason also involves no sleep and too many elbows in the face or locking me down (just last night I was stuck under what felt like a 20lb arm!). I’ll definitely be staying tuned for the giveaway! This mama always needs more sleep.

  8. Jackie says:

    I have heard good things about the Sleep Number beds. I will be keeping an eye out for the giveaway!

  9. luv what you do says:

    It’s amazing what a new bed, pillows, and sheets can do for you, especially when you’ve got a big bed mate : ) I got a fancy pillow 2 years ago and I am in love. I haven’t needed a new one since! So glad that you are getting a good night’s sleep!

  10. Laura says:

    You are speaking my language! My fiancé is also 6’5″ and just last night I elbowed him in the face…twice. Looking forward to hearing the details of this promotion!

    1. Jamie says:

      Laura-
      Ha! I am glad I’m not the only one with elbowing issues! :)

      My husband is “only” 6’2 and he got me twice on Saturday night…but his “favorite” thing is kneeing my tailbone :-( Gotta love long-legged boys!
