Of all things in life, there is nothing I appreciate more than a good night’s rest! Since I started working at the Q, you can imagine that sleeping has become a true LUXURY.  Every minute (actually every second) of sleep that I can get counts BIG TIME when your schedule is all over the place like mine!  

Although I always thought that I was purchasing quality mattresses in the past, I have perpetually had sleep issues. Insomnia… Check! Tossing and turning… CHECK! Restless leg, knots in my shoulder; and even as early as my twenties, the ever so common back pain… CHECK, CHECK, CHECK! I tried everything to make my sleeping better; from pillows to mattress toppers to the “firm mattresses” that my friends and relatives suggested but NOTHING WORKED…Until I got a Sleep Number. 

It’s amazing what one GREAT night of rest can do for you! I realized this the first time I slept in my Sleep Number! On that very first night, I found a number that “felt good” for me (my Sleep Number setting is 50) and I experienced the following:

-  I fell asleep almost immediately

-  I didn’t toss or turn

-  I actually slept so deeply that I had DREAMS (and remembered them when I woke up!!)

And when I did wake up, I POPPED out of bed like I was ready to run a marathon! My attitude was lifted! My body felt great! I felt resilient and ready to do ANYTHING!

That was a little over a year ago, and I am still experiencing the same kind of results with my Sleep Number! On an average night, I still find that I love my Sleep Number set at 50. On days when I’ve got a lot on my mind and I’m having a harder time falling asleep, I set mine to 35 (ALWAYS does the trick) and on days when I feel like my body needs a little more support, I bring it up between 65 and 70. No matter which way I choose, the best part is that my bed conforms to me….and not the other way around! 

Setting up your Sleep Number is also a neat experience! Here are some photos of my set up and the final result in my bedroom.

The Sleep Number comes in multiple boxes, so I had a friend help me with carrying them up the stairs to my bedroom. All of the boxes are labeled, so the first thing I did was set up my platform. 

Next I assembled the mattress. There are multiple layers of cushioning, comfort and dual air chambers so that you and your spouse can each set your own customized number. 

When it’s all assembled, it fits perfectly into almost any standard bed frame (I used my old one) and making the bed is the same.  Here is a look at my bed all made up. 

Notice the Dennis Basso throw and yes….the pillows I sleep on are My Pillows!

Even Prince Charming and Coco have their preferred numbers. Depending on the setting I have, these two can become very cuddly!!
