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.
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!

This is a sponsored post written by My Baking Addiction for Sleep Number. The views and opinions expressed on My Baking Addiction are purely my own and based upon my personal experiences with the i10 Sleep Number Bed. Although I was given the bed free of charge, I was not monetarily compensated for this positive review or upcoming giveaway.
My husband and I went round and round on the bed issue. He won with a Temperpedic and I wanted the Sleep Number. I think the Temperpedic is hard and warm (though that could be me).
I need a new bed, and love sleep number.
OMG!! I’m truly glad to know that I’m not the only one facing this problem!! When my hubby & I were dating, he had a queen size bed that the military provided. He’s 6’2″ & I’m …well…a tiny 5ft but he insists that I’m only 4’11” ! I told him that’s because he sleeps diagonally & leaves a tiny triangle sandwich space for me & each morning I feel like the hunchback of Notredame!! We have invested in a Cal-King since we got married!! Lately, we have been looking at Sleep Nmber as his body is acting from back surgery a few year ago. With your positive review, I can’t wait for the details of the giveaway!! Fingers, toes & eyes all crossed!!
So good to hear that I’m not the only one with mattress issues. I have tried out several mattresses recently and while they were comfortable for 20 minutes in the store, they were not so good several hours into a nights sleep! Right now about 5 hours is the best I can get….oh what I would do for a full night of good restful sleep!!
We are in the market for a new bed! I have been in love with sleep number since my parents got one years ago!
Wow, what an amazing opportunity!
Personally; I’ve given up on a good nights sleep. The last good night’s sleep I had was August 23, 2000. Since then I’ve also suffered through menopause and a thyroid disorder – which may have affected some of those years. The past few years my health has become steady but not my sleep. I’ve gone through several beds without a hope in sight for sleeping good.
I shall watch for the giveaway. Gives me new hope for a good sleep!
Can not wait for this giveaway. Maybe i will be the lucky one. We are expecting child #3 in march and how nice would it be to get some actual comfy sleep for a change. Sleep by number help me! PS Love Baking addiction!
James and I are really lucky that we like a similar bed, but my grandparents had one of the first Sleep Number beds, and that thing is still going strong (and now in the custody of my uncle).
the answer to my uncomfortable sleeping dreams…can’t wait for details and potentially removing my ‘homemade’ supports between my mattress and boxspring! LoL
