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!

Sleep is sooo important to our well being. I would love to win a sleep number bed – no more crowding and getting kneed or elbowed. I am there!
Oh my, a new matress would be so heavenly. I am in need of a new mattress as well- my Sealy has a big sinkhole after a year of use… it’s really annoying!
I’ll stay tuned for updates on how to win!
Wow! Fantastic giveaway! Thank you so much. Hubby and I are due for a new bed. Ours is pushing 12 years. Yikes!
What a wonderful give away. I heard so much about the sleep number beds. Sure would love to try one. Pleasant dreams. Isn’t is terrific to be able to get a good nights sleep!
We lo-o-o-ve our sleep number bed! we splurged and got the king-sized (big hubby too) with the adjustable head and foot. Best bed ever! Because of COPD, I was sleeping in my ecliner in the living room every night and could never turn over. This bed will probably be the last one I will own (20 year guarantee) and I feel the money was well-spent.
Wowzers – this giveaway is too good to be true. I can’t wait to enter!!
We have had our Sleep Number bed for I think about 8 years and still love it. My husband is over 6 ft tall and I am over 5 ft tall, plus we have 2 dogs who also love the king size bed (maybe we could use the queen bed for them lol).
How do I love thee, let me count the ways. . . 1) adjusting to my desires while my hubby adjusts to his- heaven! . . . 2) a little more space for the both of us! No more waking up because of flailing arms and legs crossing the invisible line that SOMEONE always crosses! . . . 3) saying good bye to the aches and pains of pressure points of traditional mattresses. . . 4) saying hello to waking up refreshed and ready to face the day! Please choose me. . . . . .Please. . . .Thanks!
A friend of mine has a Sleep Number Bed. She purchased the bed with high hopes of helping her husband with his back pain. They have had great results, no more back pain and great rest.
I want one!
I feel your pain, elbows are a constant in my house. My hubby likes to pop me in the nose quite often. I am excited to hear the details about the give away. We have been in dire need a a new bed and have considered a Sleep Number. We haven’t even been able to check them in person and the price is too steep. The prices are beyond our reach right now and besides we don’t have a store local to check them out. By the way, I love, love, love My Baking Addiction!!! Keep up the good work!!
