If I had a that Tempur-pedic,
I would buy it a frame.
But not a king size frame, that’s cruel.

If I had that Tempur-pedic,
I would give it a room.
Yes, a real big BED room.

If I had a Tempur-pedic,
I would sleep all night, that’s true.

If I had a Tempur-Pedic, my husband and I might actually get up when the alarm goes off, and in turn, would get to spend more time with each other (he works at night :/), which means, we could plant our garden and finally settle into our home after 8 months of moving everything from room to room to get things done!

I would write more love letters than usual to my husband in Alaska. He is the chef at a fly-fishing lodge in the bush of Alaska and is gone with no phone or Internet for four months a year. When he (finally!) returns home to me we would do many many things before and after a goodnights sleep, but mostly we would enjoy simply being together. We would finally plant our garden and stop attempting to grow tomatoes in pots (epic failure. Every year. Yet still I persist in dreaming of eating my own tomatoes).We would walk our dog together more. We would take naps together in the brutal heat of the day and wake in the breezy twilight. We would eat cheese and crackers and drink ridiculous homemade concoctions on our front porch and watch the sky turn from blue, to pinks and purples, and finally to navy. We would snuggle together under the covers and stare at each other with the biggest grins on our faces at finally being united again. I would wake up early on the mornings I have to go to work and spend a precious few minutes watching my beloved sleep and feeling my heart overflow with love and gratitude that we are alive, healthy, together, and well-rested.

(To the tune of “A Hard Day’s Night” by The Beatles)

It’s been a hard day’s night,
And I’ve been working, in DC,
It’s been a hard day’s night,
I should be resting, and catching Z’s,
But when I get home to you, old mattress,
I find the things that you do, don’t put me at ease.

You know I work all day,
To get some money, to buy a new bed.
But it’s not enough for a Tempur-Pedic,
To rest my body, to rest my head.
So when I toss and turn all night,
I read this blog to solve my plight,
In hopes one day I’ll sleep ok.

When I sleep, everything seems to be good,
When I stir, I wake up agitated and in a bad mood!

It’s been a hard day’s night,
And I’ve been working, in DC,
It’s been a hard day’s night,
With a Tempur-Pedic,
I’d catch some Z’s.
I would wake up feeling fine,
I would have energy before nine,
And I would be so pleased!

– Written by Ben and Liz, who cherish a good night’s sleep!

With a better nights sleep my senses would be sharper, my mind would be quicker, and my mood would sore. I would stop to hear the birds outside my window, taste my food and feel the sun on my skin. Maybe I would invent something that stopped disease or hunger or pollution or war. You never know because, with a better night’s sleep, anything is possible.

I would get a good nights sleep. My double bed is too small. I have been sleeping in it for ten years and it is too small for two adults. I have no budget for a larger bed, but I dream of actual comfort nightly. It would be so great to get a good nights sleep in a bed that fit us.

I would be on time for once!!

If I had a Tempur-Pedic bed, I would sleep and I would sleep damn good, and after I got my damn good night’s sleep, I would sleep some more, because sleeping = heaven!

Upon the very first morning:

We’d emerge from a deep REM sleep, cats hovering over us with saucer-like eyes, staring curiously, wondering when it is we’ll begin our 2 hours of lower back exercises.

Today, kitties, they will not happen. Today, kitties, we’re feeling strangely fine. Today, kitties, it’s time for breakfast.

We’d step out into the world, saying silently to ourselves, “Ok, world, we think we’re ready.”

Underground, we’d let the throngs of commuters shove and push past us, spilling hot coffee on their hands as they sardine themselves into the subway car, because they KNOW: That if they do not sardine themselves into this particular subway car, there will never be another train.

We’ll step aside, smiling “Go ahead, we’ll get the next one.”

We’ll sit in our morning meetings, fielding all of those amplified opinions with a casualness that surprises even ourselves, an unprecedented sense of ease breezing through us.

Outside, that cold gray blanket of an overcast sky, the one that’s accustomed to making our eyelids heavy like pre-schoolers’ after snack time–today, that sky can try its trick on someone else.

Later, we’ll cook and we’ll marvel at the absence of the usual post-office complaints in our dinner conversation. The quiet breaks in our dialogue, we’re finding, feel quite nice.

The cats tilt their heads, remaining confused.

Tonight, kitties, we’re doing alright.

As the night draws to a close, we’ll slide into our new luxury, the one we’d known for so long we needed, maybe finally finishing that chapter, maybe fantasizing about our dream summers or the best ones we’d ever had. Voices getting quieter as we start to fade.

Finally…ready for the day to melt away, so that we can do it all over again.

I am a teacher and a foster mom. Many kids in care have problems going to sleep, staying asleep, and going back to sleep after a bad dream or night terror. This means I am up with them. Through all of the tears, rocking, and singing; I can barely keep my eyes open long enough to crawl back into my own bed and attempt to get enough sleep to function the next day. I must admit, as tired as I may be, getting back to sleep is a challenge many nights. Worries and fears swirl through my head and make my body tense up, which means I end up lying there wishing I was asleep, rather than actually sleeping. My mattress does NOT help matters! With a Tempur-Pedic mattress, I would at least be able to relax my body and get some sleep before morning comes. With more sleep, I would not only be able to wake up on the right side of the bed (does Tempur-Pedic have a wrong side??), but I would also have more energy to teach my students more effectively and have some left over at the end of the day to make sure that my temporary kiddos get the love and attention they need to heal their little hearts.

With a better night’s sleep, I could finally concentrate on getting my dream climbing route done. Yawning every few minutes makes getting up the rock tough. And when you’re already starting out exhausted, every single move feels ten times more difficult. I took up climbing to enjoy the view, not to be defeated by a restless sleep! Tempur-pedic, help me top-out by gifting me some serious zzs!

I have a back that my chiropractor refers to a “the brick wall” and my husband has cerebral palsy, so his muscles are spastic and tense. Yep, we’re a match made in heaven. Even when we sleep for 8 hours, we wake up in pain. If Piotr could get a relaxing restful night of sleep, he would wake up with the energy to face the day! I’m sure it would help with his CP and help him to not be so tense. He wouldn’t be too tired to go for walks with our dog, and we could both enjoy our time together after our 9-5’s. If I could get a restful night’s sleep, I would have the energy to be “super-wife” and can finally get serious about training to run a marathon this year!

With a better nights sleep I could wake up super early before work and get a 3 mile run done!

With a better night sleep, I would wake up early and bake warm, delicious banana bread to bring to the office and share with my coworkers!

With a good night’s sleep, I’d laugh more and snap less. I’d take longer walks around the neighborhood with my kids. I would celebrate by taking a nap in the afternoon, and I’d go to bed earlier just so I could enjoy the comfy bed once more.

With a better night’s sleep, I would be more rested and therefore a much more tolerant and benevolent mom instead of always losing patience with my 8 and 4 year old… I’d probably be nicer to my husband and my parents, too, so it would really impact more than one generation!

With a new bed I could sleep oh so soundly through the many life changes I’m currently making; Freshly single and living on my own (a new bed is like a fresh start in itself!) Going back to school and a new job on the horizon!

I’d also have sleepovers with my best friend who is 9 months pregnant and her five year old daughter while her husband works swing shift as a police officer.

With a new bed, I would let my husband sleep with me again. He could roll over any time he wanted without worrying about waking me up. We could both wake up refreshed and ready to start a new day.

If I got a new mattress, would jump on the bed every single day. Yes, my Mother taught me better than that but I wouldn’t be able to resist. I would also make cuddle-time a must instead of a maybe. Oh, and I would move movie night from the living room into the bedroom and build a fort out of my bed. With better sleep I would quit coming up with excuses about being too tired to go the gym.

So really, by getting a new mattress, I would not only be so happy. But I would enjoy the little things more and get in shape 🙂

A new bed would be bliss!

With a tempur-pedic, we could drink wine in bed, jump up and down and not bump our heads.

A tempur-pedic mattress gave my mother the best two weekends of sleep over the last year when we stayed at a friend’s condo in Florida. She is 65 years old and has two slipped discs in her back. She never complains and always has a good attitude. However, when we visited the condo again and she remarked that she had the best sleep again since last year, I knew it was the fabulous bed. Recently, I asked the owner what kind of bed it was (it was a tempur-pedic) but realized it was not something she could swing these days. So to simply answer your question, if she got a better night’s sleep, so would I! If we both got a better nights sleep, we would be better mother’s, her a better grandmother, better wives, better entrepenuers for our direct sales company, Kele & Co. Who knows, maybe I would even cook more!

I would slap my new bed on a boat and sail across the Pacific Ocean, basking in the glory of the comfortable mattress as I gaze up at the stars. I would not get a good night’s sleep, but a good day’s rest instead. I would wake up each night as the sun started to set and see the world transform into an exciting and magical place that only the depths of my pre-mattress imagination could conjure. Whales would leap through the moonlit water and fly over me before splashing back into the ocean and continuing their migration. Jellyfish would glow beneath me like a million faint lights guiding my way. Sharks would circle me, wishing that they could enjoy the simple pleasure of a firm, yet comfortable bed with the lumbar support that aimlessly drifting in water does not come close to providing. As the sun rises above the horizon for the final time and my incredible journey ends on the opposite end of the Pacific, I would emerge refreshed and rejuvenated, with,a new found appreciation for life.

With a new bed, I would:
-protect it from those rascally bed bugs
-wake up without back pain and feel like I’m in my 20’s not 60’s (no judgment)
-wake up on the “right side of the bed”
and
-have no more case of the Mondays 🙂

Our 20 something (?) bed has been through three newlywed couples and our three children (and all that has been demanded, spilled, or leaked on it during those years).

I think it’s time for a new bed and just in time for a new baby in September. And I’m thinking that maybe the baby will sleep better on a new mattress. Baby sleeps = I sleep. What could be better than that?

This could be potentially great news for me. And I heard that if one person moves on the bed, it doesn’t jiggle like a normal mattress would. (Then those multiple nightly nursing sessions won’t wake the man of the house.)

please oh, yes oh, sleeping soundly, yay, yay, yay.

I am a 22 year old recent college graduate. Due to countless all nighters, my sleep pattern is completely interrupted and my 20 year old mattress is no help. If I were able to get a new bed and a full nights sleep, I would be able to work on paintings and new art pieces all day and not have to take a nap at any point (which interrupts my creativity). That would simply be AMAZING 🙂

If I got a new bed, I would redecorate my room with a new comforter and pillows so that when my boyfriend gets back from Italy, our bedroom will be the perfect combination of our favorite colors and prints. Plus, we wouldn’t have to share the twin size bed.

Sleep, blessed sleep. I don’t sleep horribly on my current mattress. Its the getting up part- ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch.

That’s why I want a new mattress- so no more ouch.

I’d hope that a new mattress would give my husband and I such a restful night’s sleep that we would have more energy to keep up with our 1.5-year-old.
And if we had more energy, maybe my husband would consider… well… not sleeping, so that my 1.5-year-old may get to be a big brother.

My boyfriend and I recently relocated to Minneapolis, Minnesota, after living with his parents for two year. As of right now we are using a futon for both a bed and couch, which is not very ideal for 30 year olds. With a great night’s sleep, I would be far more productive. I’d finally sort through all boxes stacked up, maybe knit (my shoulders kill me sleeping on this crappy old thing [side sleepers beware of cheap beds!]) or even get around to the blog I’ve neglected since registering its domain months ago. A good night sleep is much more precious as I, albeit slowly, crawl into adulthood. I am thirty, remember? Who doesn’t have a proper bed by my age? No, seriously. Who? Me, that’s who.

With a better night’s rest, I’d be able to get up a bit earlier and exercise instead of hitting my snooze button 5 times!

What would I do with a better night’s sleep? Does such a thing exist? I’m sure it does but I wouldn’t know about it! We are sleeping on a hand me down mattress that is almost as old as me. On most nights there is at least one if not two children sleeping in between us and a dog at our feet, that seems to take up more room than my husband or myself. Of course the above mentioned child/ren are usually wedged into my back because the above mentioned mattress has a “king’s crown” AKA a huge bump in the middle of the mattress, so it seems that we are sleeping on a hill. My husband has a bad back from his job/old mattress and dreams of the day of waking up refreshed and energized. So if he slept and woke up without pain he would work faster,harder more productivley, get a raise with a promotion we could move to the south of France and live happily ever after. As for me, if I woke up refreshed I could run that 5 miles everyday, clean the house, bake fresh bread daily, become the president of my children’s PTA and become a better mom and wife so that when we do retire to the south of France I will be fit and happy! So yes a new bed sounds wonderful!!

I would throw away my 15-year-old inherit-a-mattress and get a good night’s rest again! Fate placed a Tempur-pedic under my husband’s and my head back in 2007 for a few years. My husband is a particularly tall dude (6’6″) and all elbows and knees. For those years of our marriage before we had such a wonderful bed, I never slept the night through, had bruises, had back pain, and was generally exhausted. The tempur-pedic made me feel like a single girl again with a bed all to myself! My husband slept better, threw fewer elbows my way, and I slept like a log. Now that we’re back to inherit-a-mattress, I frequently wake with a knee in my gut, or, like last night, with a elbow to the head. Though we can’t afford an upgrade yet, I am counting the days and pinching my pennies. So, what would I do with a tempur-pedic mattress? Anything in the world, since my rugby-playing, elbow-throwing, knee-jabbing husband will sleep peacefully enough for me to sleep like a baby.

With a good night’s sleep I could become a superhero. With a good night’s sleep I could become an artist. With a good night’s sleep I could become a world renowned chef. With a good night’s sleep I could become a teacher, a pirate, a dancer and a rockstar. Actually, a good nights sleep won’t do that to me, I transformed into all of those and more when I became a mom. But a good nights sleep will allow me to do the best job in the world even better.

My husband was hit by a car a few years ago and ever since, he has the hardest time falling and staying asleep. Then, when he gets up in the morning, he backs hurts terribly. We have been told that a Tempur-pedic bed would make his back feel better – however, we just haven’t been able to make it happen. He is an amazing man who works hard, plays hard and spends every possible free moment with us (his family!) I would love to surprise him with a perfect night’s rest!

Ah, insomnia
will a new bed allow me
to see the sun rise?

“Noun: the natural periodic suspension of consciousness during which the powers of the body are restored.
Verb: Rest; relax the mind and body to it’s full potential.”

Sleep.. what is that? I would find out if I had a Tempur-Pedic (A.K.A Magical) Mattress. Then I would do it all of the time.

I would do what every other mom with tiny children who keep them up all hours would do. I’d catch as much sleep as I can (without doubt much better and more comfortable sleep if everything I’ve heard about Tempurpedic is true), snuggle that teething baby back to sleep, and do it all over again the next night. And I’ll love every minute of it!

My husband and I got our mattress eleven years ago, and it’s been in need of a replacement for at least half that long. With a better night’s sleep, I would wake up happy, be able to take time to exercise, make a fabulous breakfast for my family, and pack my day full of reading and activities with my family. And maybe I wouldn’t fall asleep midday when I put the baby down for a nap!

The day I left home for college at the ripe age of 17, my mother gave me the best gift I have ever received: two matching Tempur-Pedic pillows.

I’d always found it difficult to fall asleep, and over the years had experimented with different methods: from buckwheat, feather, and foam pillows; to sleeping in a hammock installed in my bedroom! Ten years later, I still have my Tempur-Pedic pillows, and I refuse to sleep without one. Unfortunately, I’ve also been lugging around the same mattress I’ve had since high school. Through college, my first few low paying jobs after graduation, and now as I attend graduate school, I’ve come home each night to my one-sided, increasingly weighty, warehouse sale mattress…a stark contrast to the pillows that sit upon it.

There isn’t a night that goes by that I don’t fantasize about owning a Tempur-Pedic bed! So the question is not what I would do with a better night’s sleep, it’s what wouldn’t I do! With the time saved from no longer tossing and turning each night to fall asleep, I’d spend the time before bed reading a novel or a great article. I’d wake up earlier to take a jog in the nearby park before going to class or reporting to my internship office. I’d dedicate more time to my post-graduation job search, squeeze in more time with family, cook more, nap less, and finally look forward to the far off concept of sleeping in on Sundays!

And the money I’d save! I’d spend less money on muscle-soothing balms for those perpetual pinched nerves, under-eye treatments to improve “tired eyes,” over-the-counter pain relievers for back and neck soreness, and teas and natural supplements promising a better night’s sleep.

Most importantly, I’d cherish the health and energy that only a regular full night’s sleep can bring. I am twenty-seven years old, I eat right and I exercise regularly, and I am sitting in front of a computer right now with a terribly painful pinched nerve as I prepare for a final exam tomorrow morning. This shouldn’t be! Replacing my old, uncomfortable mattress just isn’t financially feasible for me, so winning a new Tempur-Pedic bed would be a dream come true.

I don’t actually own a bed. My landlord is letting me use one of his currently. I also am 32 and single. These two things may be connected. Hopefully by owning a bed, I will finally land me a man. At least, it would be something to add to my husband hunting resume.

Sleep has been so elusive for the past several years that I have absolutely no idea what I would be capable of with a good nights rest. My goal would be to get up before everyone else and take the dogs for a nice long walk (maybe eventually a run) before starting the day. And some extra snuggle time with the kids and hubby in the evening would end the day just right!

I have been overweight for years. After struggling and succeeding to overcome a drug and alcohol addiction, surviving a divorce, and reveling in god-parenting my young nieces, I have finally begun to do something JUST for me. I am now training for a charity 5K race, which it to be run at the end of this month. And I will continue to train for 10Ks and half-marathons. While I KNOW I’m healthier and generally happier, my body is revolting– my back and joints have declared a mutiny. I would use this bed to rest my weary bones, recharge my aching body, and wake revived and ready for another day of a reclaimed life.

I have five wonderful kids. Each of those children has spent many nights being held in my arms when they didn’t feel well or had a bad dream. All of them have been held in the same bed I received as a wedding present seventeen years ago. What a wonderful thing a new mattress would be. A cozy boat as we go on adventures reading books and snuggling under the covers. A treetop perch to look down on the flooded world as we pretend to be fairies. To sleep in a new mattress without the worn spots would be a dream and help give me the energy to enjoy the dreams of my family.

If Tempur-Pedic promises a good night sleep, even with a 1-month-old, I’m going out to buy one right now (unless I win one)! Especially these days with a newborn, I KNOW how important a good night’s sleep really is. At this time in my life I’m excited if I get 4 hours in a row, and it’s important that those 4 hours really count. I think a Tempur-Pedic would promise just that. With a good, solid night’s rest I can just feel the range of motion in my neck and back returning to normal. I’d be happy to set my alarm to get an early start on the day since I know I’d be refreshed and ready. I’d start out with a morning jog. I could give you a run down of my ‘perfect’ day, but really I imagine I would feel energized and therefore productive and happy. My 18-month-old would be so excited to get to have a longer round of ‘chase’ and my husband would enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal. You can’t put a price on feeling great due to a good night’s rest!

My sister and brother-in-law have gone through five beds within the last year of their marriage. My sister needs soft and my brother needs firm; you see the problem! They have always wanted a tempur-pedic bed, but with occupational therapy school coming up in the fall, a one year old little boy, and baby on the way, monetary wise it’s not possible. If I won the tempur-pedic bed I would give this to them in a heart beat! I know my sister would wake up more ready to juggle the kids and my brother-in-law ready to tackle his difficult masters program. I know a better nights sleep would help them feel more invigorated and excited to start each new day. This would be such a blessing for them. Thank you so much for your consideration!

I would make a point of getting a solid 8 hours of sleep with a new bed!

Hi 🙂

I would give it to my senior Mom who has been wanting one more than almost anything. She would love it! She takes care of her brother, and deserves it more than anyone I know.

Oh my goodness, what would I do with a better night’s sleep! I can tell by many of the posts that some very young bodies would love this mattress. But so would my more “mature” body. I would love to have a night’s sleep like I used to 40 years ago, or maybe 20 years ago, I would love to sleep even like I did 5 years ago. I wake up too often in the night “creeky” and just can’t go back to sleep, so I just get up and get to work. What would I do with a better night’s sleep – dance like nobody’s watching!

As an insomniac who works mornings (like 5am YIKES) a good night’s sleep makes me feel like a million dollars. Right now I am sleeping on a futon due to college student broke-ness. I am constantly running around the city and my job involves running up ladders and carrying heavy objects so when I get home my whole body aches! Sleeping on a junky futon makes me feel worse. I am constantly falling asleep in class. With a Tempur-Pedic bed I would be able to make the most of the crazy sauce that is my life!

If I had a solid night of sleep I would probably be able to wake up before 9am and maybe even be able to wake up before my husband heads off to work at 6:30am. but that’s probably just wishful thinking.

I sleep on a horribly lumpy mattress. I always hope that I am absolutely exhausted at the end of the day, otherwise it is almost impossible to fall asleep because it is so uncomfortable! I am dreaming of the day I can afford a new mattress. With a new mattress and a good nights sleep I would finally have the energy I need to reach all my goals: losing weight, exercise regularly, finish my master’s thesis, and getting a job at a non-profit… instead of dragging my feet all day long.

cuddle with my hubby.

I would do more with a better night’s sleep: more walking, more exercise, more dancing, more traveling! I’m currently 21 and the reason I sometimes feel so limited is because I was diagnosed with scoliosis since I was 11. All through middle school, I wore a back brace at night (which, though terribly uncomfortable, the huge plastic corset at least cured me of my sleepwalking if nothing else). You can’t cure scoliosis with a back brace (only surgery can do that), so I was “lucky” that I stopped growing, halting my spine to 43 degree curve. While I don’t suffer from chronic back pain (yet), I find that I can’t do what I want to for as long as I want to. Malls, museums, sight-seeing — after a few hours, my back starts yelling STOP! With proper support from a Tempur-Pedic mattress, my back might finally be able to do as much as the rest of me can!

I just started graduate school in a new city and couldn’t afford much in the way of a mattress. I wake up every morning with an aching back and struggle to make it through the long days of reading and writing without falling asleep. A new bed might make all the difference for my graduate career, I can only imagine how much more focused I would be after a good night’s sleep.

Lots of cuddling with my new fiance 🙂

I would actually sleep in on a weekend!!!!

If I had a new tempur-pedic bed I would sigh with much needed relief. I have scholiosis and although I get my 6-8hrs of sleep it isn’t solid sleep and I wake with soar restless muscles. A tempur-pedic bed would relax my back and maybe for the first time in a long time I may wake with no back pain. That kind of joy would probably inspire me to decorate a whole bedroom set around that wonderful bed and to sew new bedding to showcase our new comfortable mattress. The skies the limits when someone has a restful sleep. 🙂

In all seriousness, I’ve discovered that mattresses are not something to skimp on. Fresh out of school and moving to my own place, I picked up the cheapest I could get, which led to what my boyfriend has affectionately termed “sleep boogieing.” I toss. I turn. I steal all the covers. A new mattress would do wonders not only for my sleeping habits, but for my boyfriend’s sanity. I’d like to start every morning with enough energy to embrace my inner toddler by jumping up and down on the bed. And with such a high quality mattress, think of the air time I could get. 🙂

with a better night’s sleep, I would wake up with a smile each morning and use that increased mental energy to ask harder questions and perform more creative pursuits!

With a new bed I would finally be able to get out of my childhood twin! It was great when I was in college apartments and needed the space in my room more than a bed, but now that I’m an adult, it’s time for something more grown up.

I should start off by saying that when I sleep, I’m a kicker, cuddler, roller, talker, hitter — in a nutshell.

I’m also a wife.

Which means, when I’m moving around the bed all night, my husband gets woken up. He gets smothered, and sometimes, he gets hit.

While I don’t expect anything short of a straight jacket to help with the hitting, if he couldn’t feel my rolling around and re-adjusting, maybe he would get a better night’s sleep. And hey, maybe it I was more comfortable, I would too.

If I got a better night’s rest, I wouldn’t have a sore neck part way through my day. I would probably suffer fewer headaches, and end up taking fewer naps. For the first time in a long time, maybe I would be a morning person. I would go move the car in the morning out of the 2 hour parking we use at night because we don’t want to pay for a parking spot because we would rather support our baking habit.

If my husband got a good night’s rest, maybe he would go back to sleep when I wake him up in the wee hours of the morning. He could be ready for those long hours of work and commute.

Maybe if he got a good night’s rest, he would bake more cookies for me. And, well, who doesn’t want that?

Oh my, with a good bed and good sleep I believe I would dream again. I need some consistent rest to recharge my creative mind. In dreams lies the opportunity to solve many of life’s dilemmas.

What wouldn’t I do for a better night’s sleep? I’m currently sleeping on a futon mattress topped with a cheap feather bed. As for the base? It’s a mishmash of pieces (a metal bed frame with wood slats and a “custom” support piece my dad made so that my head wouldn’t keep sinking towards the floor while I slept.) Although I’m impressed with my MacGyver capabilities regarding my sleeping situation, having a “real” bed would be amazing. I love sleep, I really do. I’d like to think that a good night’s sleep would help me be a better person, especially since I see a correlation between the amount of sleep I get and how wonderful the world is looking each day–a cheerful disposition reminds me to keep “paying it forward.”

To top it all off, it would also be a great excuse to buy a pretty new set of sheets!

I have a 7 month old who hates to sleep, so I’d make Grandma and Grandpa take her, get my own blanket and pillow, and sleep for 12 hours. Maybe 14.

With a new bed I would sleep more. Sleep is my verb, it’s what I do (so awesomely)

With a new bed, that’s firmer than our current one, my husband and I could finally sleep in the same room! My baby girl is just one, and we’ve been on the double bed I grew up using, and my DH has been on the one in our bedroom. With a temperpedic, we could all 3 be together…. as he wouldn’t have his chronic sleep issues paired with a wiggly girl ( ok, 2 of us wiggly girls…)
With clean bright sheets, I’d buy new pillows, and we’d celebrate spring by sleeping!

I recently stayed at a hotel with a Tempur-Pedic mattress and it is a complete understatement to say that I felt like a new person in the morning.

I’ve thought long and hard about this experience and would give anything to have this experience in my life regularly.

Simply put, it could change my life.

If I had a better night’s sleep, I’d have the ambition, energy, and grace I know I can but am usually just too tired to muster. With a good night’s sleep, I’ll be less selfish (always thinking about and worrying about where I’ll find the energy to do what needs to be done each day) and I’ll focus on helping myself and my family make positive changes in the way we live in this world. Restful sleep on a nice bed is something most of us expect and are capable of achieving (at least once our kids’ start sleeping through the night, too!). I’d like to focus my sleep-driven energy on improving the lives’ of people who might not even have beds or who, because of circumstances in their lives, are unable to rest peacefully. With the increased energy and clarity of mind I’d get from a good night’s sleep I’ll be able to think outside of my own small world and focus on the needs of others.

I have been sleeping on an old lumpy mattress for longer than I care to remember. Most nights I wake up in the sag in the middle of the bed, and most mornings my body aches. I have a pretty active lifestyle. I work on my feet 10 hours a day as a veterinary assistant, and in my time off I go hiking and rock climbing. A better mattress would help me to wake up feeling refreshed and better able to kick ass – on the wall or in the hospital. Unfortunately, vet assistants make next to nothing – it’s a labor of love – so purchasing a quality mattress is just not a reality for me. However, I would be very grateful to win something so luxurious.

Well my husband and I have shared our full size bed for the eight years that we have been married. During year one of our marriage we began to share our bed with our shaggy 50 pound mutt Argyle: cuddly! Then in year two came along our first baby, finnegan. So that’s two adults, one dog and a baby in a full size bed: snuggly! Then in year four came our second baby boy, Murphy! Two (very tired)adults, one dog, a (sneaky, crib escaping) toddler, and a baby in a full size bed: cozy!? And year number 6 of our blessed marriage brought (surprise!) baby boy number three: locklan! So that’s two (exhausted) adults, no dog (don’t even think about it argyle!), a (puppy dog eyed) preschooler, a (wizardly, crib escaping) toddler and a (bonus) baby in a full size bed: ridiculous!! If we had a new, more spacious bed, we would all most definitely get a better night’s sleep! With a better night’s sleep I could spend more time playing and engaging in the activities we dream about like hiking, fishing, picnicking. We could actually enact all the lofty ideas I have for family adventures rather than spending so much time hacking mapquest to ensure that all afternoon
activities are routed through a Starbucks drive thru.

What would I do with a better nights sleep? Well after recently becoming a mother again (I now have 3 kids under the age of 4), its hard to think what I woul

I would gift the new bed to my parents who are more than deserving. In turn I would have a better night’s sleep knowing they are lying down on a high quality mattress, enveloped in a cloud like comfort and awakened with renewed energy. All because of a new bed!

With a new bed I would teach my children how good it feels to give to someone else. I would buy a big red bow for on top of the mattress, leave it at my parent’s door and ring the bell and run. And then my three kids and I would watch my parent’s faces from the bushes, as they get an unexpected gift.

A mattress is a small way to repay the people who gave you life and taught you how to live it, but passing on the love of service to another generation is something my parents deserve to witness. They taught me you always give and you give big. Sacrifice and service are what make life worth living. And they make for a life lived well.

When I was in high school my parents bought a big red bow, put it on top of a big item, left it in someone’s driveway and rang the door and ran. My parents had an old Honda Civic. It wasn’t going to win any beauty contests or be the envy of all the neighbors, but it ran and was reliable. A dear family in our neighborhood – a single mom and her kids – were in need of a car. My parents knew they could take care of her need. Now my parents are not extremely wealthy at all, but they have enough and they have big, big hearts. I was too young or just oblivious understand that my parents could have sold that car and pocketed some extra cash. They were never ones for luxuries. But leaving that car in someone’s driveway that day paid far greater rewards. We learned the joy of giving. And really sacrificing to help another. We didn’t wait around that day to see the smiles on our recipients’ faces but we couldn’t wipe the smiles of ours as we drove our getaway route. In fact, I still smile when I tell my children that story.

My parents could have used money from selling that car to get a new mattress. Now that I am older, I have done the math. But they were doing something much bigger and better that day than getting a mattress, they were molding the hearts and minds of the lives they were entrusted with. They were passing on a lesson that had been taught to them early in their marriage – you give and you give big.

You see, when my parents were young marrieds and poor as dirt, an older couple had bought them a new washer and dryer! My parents told us that story frequently, and they lived everyday trying to pass on to others the service they had been given.

I a medical student’s wife. We have three kids. I don’t have much more than what we need and certainly not enough to buy my parents a new mattress. Although they need one. And more than that, I want to continue this pattern of giving and teaching my children how to give.

With a new bed, I think we could make a new family memory of giving.

With a good night’s sleep I’d actually get up in the morning for a run before work! My husband and I are training for a half marathon but making it out of bed at the crack of dawn has been the hardest part so far.

“A good night’s sleep.” That seems almost mythical at this point. If I got a good night’s sleep, I would finally get to the gym most mornings and lost that 40 pounds I’ve been carrying around. I would certainly be less grumpy!

My husband recently had spinal fusion surgery so his moaning and groaning for the last few months always keeps me awake and worried. My almost-4-yr-old also likes to check in with me several times during the night. I don’t begrudge him that but sometimes it DOES feel like some kind of sleep-deprivation torture. The bulging disc in my lower back also makes it nearly impossible to find a comfortable position for me to sleep in. Add to all of that the cat that crowds me at night and you have a losing proposition when it comes to sleep.

I have always heard about how wonderful these mattresses are but with a husband who has been jobless for two years, it always seemed out of reach. It certainly would be life-changing to get a good night’s sleep for a change!

Driving.

I have Narcolepsy, so sleep is something I am an expert on. Growing up I could sleep anywhere. As I aged, I was still trying to sleep all the time only now my body hurt constantly. After my Diagnosis, I still experienced periods of fatigue. After a minor accident with a miter saw (arm + saw + sleep = stitches), I developed a fear of porta-potties and driving. So, for the last two years, my husband and daughter drive me everywhere. My doctors say I can drive. I have chosen not too until I am certain it is safe.

My new doctor explained Narcolepsy and the importance of a good Sleep Hygiene. As with anyone, not getting the correct sleep leads to tiredness, fatigue, irritability, trouble concentrating and just waking up unrefreshed. With Narcolepsy, those issues are magnified.

When I sleep in a hotel or if I get to do a sleep study, I feel pretty good the next day. Not “jumping out of bed ready to use power tools good” but “Hey, I’m going to buy groceries by myself” good. The common denominator is the change of mattress.

So for me, a Tempur-Pedic mattress means Driving.

A brand new comfy bed is one of those things that I’ve never been able to afford or rationalize buying. I’ve gone through many futons since college and borrowed beds and frames from family members. The bed I have now squeaks so badly, I sometimes think about just laying on the floor.
I’m a full-time artist and I think a good night’s sleep is really important to keep the creative juices flowing. I could definitely increase my artwork production with a fresh mind. Not to mention I’d be less cranky and therefore less likely to yell at my boyfriend for leaving his socks everywhere.
I like to joke that sleeping is my second favorite thing next to being crafty. But it’s really my first favorite thing. Shh…don’t tell.

We are planning on adding to our family of two and we need to set up a guest room so that my Mom can stay with us once the baby is born. This new bed would be perfect for her bad back (and give her a great night of sleep).

Every single thing on my to do list!

With a better night’s sleep, I will be able to focus on my favorite hobby: napping.

If I had a better night’s sleep, I would aim for at least a week’s worth of better night’s sleep.

What would I do with a good night of sleep?
I would awake energized and ready to take on the monsters in my son’s closet, and the dust bunnies multiplying in the dark corners of my home.
With a good night of sleep I would avoid more colds than I catch, and have the energy to spend more days exercising than not.
A good night of sleep would prepare me for my busy work day in the office, and my busier work evening at home with my son.
A good night of sleep would help me from crashing from exhaustion so early in the evening and give me the time to have a little romance with my husband instead.
A good night sleep would change my world and the new, well rested me, would change the world of my family with my new vigor for life.

This lady here would conquer the world with a better nights sleep. With sound slumber, she would rise in the morning, ready to face the day feeling rested and energized. Without having tossed and turned throughout the night, her morning routine would sail by with a bit more ease. A little less concealer under the eyes. A little less time waking up in the shower. A little less coffee to get the day going. With this pleasant change of pace, she would leave the house to go about her day with a brighter disposition. Much like the expression “when it rains, it pours”, the opposite will prove to be true. Starting out on a positive note, the rest of the day will follow suit. She’ll begin to notice the green lights on the commute to work instead of the red ones. She’ll notice the kind gestures of those around her and not the negative ones.
At work, thanks to her sound sleep, her mind will be functioning optimally. She will feel creative, and therefore be more productive, making for a gratifying day at work. The close of the work day will feel as good as it always does, but there will be no need to pick up a coffee on the way home to get through the evening.
Thanks to her clear state of mind, she will have more patience when greeted at home by her hectic family. As her day draws to an end and the sun sets, this girl would climb into a bed so comfortable that she would never again have to count sheep. She wouldn’t watch the minutes tick by on her clock, waiting for the thoughts and worries in her head to quiet down while she tired to get comfortable enough to drift off into a night of dreams. Instead she will be enveloped in the cocoon of this bed and gently drift off to sleep with ease. Only to arise the next morning feeling as rejuvenated as the day before.
In summary, a better nights sleep would be life changing. This woman would have a more affordable water bill from the shorter shower times thus creating a smaller environmental footprint. She would spend less money, time and energy on cosmetics due to her glorious beauty sleep. This would also lend to a boost in self confidence. Her body would be healthier not only from rest but also from the decrease in caffeine consumption. Her mind would be healthier from ample rest and overall improvement in quality of life. There would be a veritable myriad of benefits from a better nights sleep. The best in my opinion, however, would be that she would be a better me.

A new bed? Whoa, that would mean a “new” bed for a guest room that is in the process of being created. 🙂

A new bed? Cool!

I’d love it!

A new Tempur-Pedic mattress would mean…

better sleep + more energy
better sex + happy husband
= better life + happy wife!

My goal is to join the Navy reserves so I really think having a goodnight sleep would energize me to get my big butt up and get to the gym at 6am before work!!

My husband has back problems thanks to old ice hockey injuries from long ago. We turn into bed together, but by the middle of the night, I often awake to find him sleeping on his side on the family room couch. There is something for him about not staying in one position that evidently helps ease his back pain. Please, I’d love a new comfortable and supportive bed that can keep my husband with me in our bedroom all night!

With a new bed, I could dedicate the old one entirely to jumping on! Having a jumping bed would help me get the exercise I so desperately need and save me money therapy – how can you have anxiety while jumping on the bed?!

With a better night’s sleep I could do quite a bit-
Jump out of bed instead of just sit
On the edge and talk in half yawns for a while
To my husband, who should be roused with a smile!
I could sprint to the coffee beans,
Without any grunts,
And maybe I’d drag out the french press for once.
I could honestly make great french toast in my sleep,
But awake! The rich flavors would make us both weep!
I’d wash dishes now
And not leave them for later…
And the rest of my day
Would get even greater.
I’d fit in as much as I possibly could,
“Life is short,” I would think,
And then do what I should.
At the end of the day when my teeth have been brushed
An entire 3 minutes, without being rushed,
And my face has been washed and smoothed with a cream,
I’ll sink into my bed, living the dream.

if i were to win a free tempur-pedic bed? well, i would sleep. my husband would sleep. and my sweet orange fluffy cat would sleep. and we’d dream. we’d dream of waking bright with the sun, eager to hike or bike or stroll. we’d live. and we’d enjoy every minute of every day. our rested souls.

If I had a new bed, I’d have an extra for our guest bedroom! And that means I could be an even better hostess!

I’d have many many more dreams of kittens!
I’d be much less crabby at work, and more productive and creative once I got home. Maybe I’d have energy to start working out…
And then I’d dream of kittens again…

holy crap. I have been DYING to own one of these beds!! literally.. like every night I sleep a crappy sleep on that horrible bed of mine, a month is taken away from my life span.
What would I do with a good nights sleep?? after I woke up.. i’d probably kiss my bed.
I’d make my bed with pride!! I’d do all the things I have to do everyday.. but with a smile on my face straight out of bed. Hallelujah! Not to mention having that for my third trimester would probably make sleeping more bearable and make my husband happy too 😉
And then when the baby is here. holy moly.. that babe might just have to enjoy that luxury too.. 😉

Wow, if I was able to get a good night’s sleep on this swanky bed I would tear my house apart … in a good way of course! More often then not, I’m exhausted in the morning from tossing and turning which equals a tired (and sometimes cranky) mommy. I’d love to wake up feeling refreshed and just take on the day! I’d have to energy to finally organize my craft room, clean out my basement, weed the garden and play non stop with my 5 year old!

I would cuddle with my boyfriend while watching a movie on our laptop in our tiny room with the rain pattering on the windows, I would wake up early and ride my bike for an hour to get to school, I would fall asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow after being at school for 13.5 hours, I would wake up feeling refreshed and ready for the days and nights to come….nights spent cuddling and spending time with my boyfriend, mornings waking up to our future baby sleeping in between us and watching him/her breath and sleep, late nights when our future children climb into our bed after a nightmare, our bed would eventually moved out of our tiny apartment to accommodate our growing family, it would be sat on by our future children singing, building forts and playing, and it would comfort us after a long day. We would grow old with it, creating and living our lives with our bed as a common oasis for everyone.

I have daydreamed about getting a Tempur-Pedic bed for so long. If I was able to get a better night’s sleep, I’d have more energy, patience, and enthusiasm to take on the day, to be a better stay-at-home mom to our 19 month old, and be a better wife to my husband. A good night’s rest is a little tricky right now since our toddler doesn’t always sleep through the night. Having a Tempur-Pedic would make it easier to fall back to sleep after trying to get her back to sleep. Heck, I may just put her in the new bed and let the Tempur-Pedic work its magic on her, allowing us all to get a good night’s sleep.

What would I do? Uhmm..how about get a good night’s sleep? Oh gosh—I NEED one. This would be so amazing. And maybe…just maybe…I won’t notice my son coming in at 4am trying to kick his way into bed:)

Well, it’s not really what I would do with a better night’s sleep or a new bed. It’s more about how I would do it. If I woke up feeling rested, without stiff shoulders and a headache, I would accomplish my day with more joy. I wouldn’t see the tasks of my day as objectives that need to be checked off a list. I would have more energy for the things that really matter. Things like getting down on the floor to play with my 1 year-old.

As we are forever crawling over children (and being crawled over), the divot in our very well used, and sometimes abused, mattress is getting deeper and deeper. This mattress has seen us through 15 years now. Purchased used, it has seen three dogs jump up and get pulled down. It has seen four new babies, one of them birthed right on it, and hosted numerous groups of bouncing children. So, if I had a new mattress, I might finally lay down in peace. Thanks for the chance!

I would be most rested 🙂

My dad has chronic nerve damage in his legs and back, and currently does not get good sleep at all due to his pain. if I was able to win this and give it to him, it would be such a blessing and would help so much with managing his pain and give him much needed rest!

neatest giveawaay by far!

With a better night’s sleep, I will dream bigger dreams and make them come true!

What would I do with a better nights rest you ask?
If you would have asked me this one year ago, I would have gotten all Charlie Sheen on ya. Because one year ago, I was without bed…I mean without tempurpedic. I was getting 4-5 hours a nights rest and I was getting a little wacky! But today, I will answer what I HAVE done in the past year with my new found restful nights sleep.
I’ve lost about 40 lbs. I have more energy now to get up and go for those walks that I couldn’t endure with an sore back. I don’t make the mistakes I use to make at work. I’ve almost doubled my salary because I produce more. I’m happier and less irritated.
So…I wouldn’t trade my bed in for all the chocolate in the world!
But, if you choose me…I would give it to a wounded soldier who has risked their life to fight for our freedom. I think many go unappreciated and I would love to grant them a brand new bed to make them happier. You could only imagine how many nights they have slept on the bare ground. I know if makes me appreciate life more and the people around me.

I’m a law student currently in finals and about to graduate and start studying for the bar. A mattress that helps me get a better night sleep would be a huge deal! There’s a noticeable improvement in my study ability when I have a restful night so this would be an amazing, if unexpected, study tool!

I would immediately put a glass of red wine on one side and then proceed to jump on the other side (just like the commercial).

And after all of the jumping I would probably fall asleep.

A good night’s sleep in a new bed would be like the clouds parting on a rainy day and the fog lifting (which would be a feat in itself here in Los Angeles!) I would be able to shed my dark circles and hazy mind and instead walk bright eyed and bushy tailed into a beautiful day!

Thank you!

What would I do with a good night’s sleep? The answer is simple – function!

I’ve had back problems since I was a child so a good mattress is crucial for me to have a good, relatively pain free day. My mattress is currently topped with memory foam which does the trick, but it unfortunately bothers my fiance. We need a mattress that doesn’t wake him up with a sore back and allows me to wake up with not only a healthy feeling back but the ability to walk without pain.

Scientific studies show that as the quality of one’s bed increases, the number of cups of coffee required in the morning decreases.

(incidentally, the quality of test subjects’ pillow fights was also found to be directly correlated to the quality of their mattress).

I look forward to both benefits.

I have no idea what it’s like to get a good night’s sleep- I have a one year old and a four year old. My husband and I sleep on a mattress we bought for $80 at an estate sale, because it was what we could afford. Plus, our kids get into our bed, and sleep in that kicky, thrashy, lumpy way that little kids do. If we had a Tempur-pedic bed, we would be so delightful and well rested that our joyousness would put Mary Poppins to shame. We would have a pajama party on our new bed with our kids, complete with marshmallow shooters and a pillow fight. We would eat smores and not even care that we were loading our kids up on sugar right before bed. It wouldn’t even matter, since we would be looking forward to sleeping so soundly. And the next morning we would be sparkly and well-rested, and start the day with smiles on our faces.

Me: “I hate this bed. Every time we move the springs make a loud creak. Except for the springs underneath where I sleep, which are maximumly compressed creating a huge butt crater.”

Wife: “I would blame that on the extra desserts you eat”

Me: “Well then why is there a crater under your side?”

Wife: “You rotated the mattress after you formed the first crater”

With a better night’s sleep, I would be able to have the energy it takes to balance being a full-time mom and a full-time law student. I can only imagine what it must be like to drift to sleep on a Tempur-Pedic mattress and wake up refreshed and ready to hold a baby with one arm and turn the pages of a casebook with the other! What a dream…

I am a first time pregnant lady who would LOVE to get a good nights sleep… and with it I would have more energy for work. I have been DYING for a tempur pedic!!

Hmmm….I would like to say that with a better night’s sleep I would be able to get up on time, but with a bed like that, who wants to get out of bed at all? So, my answer is…. nothing. I would do NOTHING and it would be EVERYTHING I dreamed it could be.

My husband, baby and I just moved up to New Jersey from Florida! It would be perfect timing!!! Plus hubby is still mad at me for having him throw out our old bed.. Soooooo if I win and he gets a good night sleep he’ll love me again! Tempur-Pedic you would save our marriage! 😉

Sweet lord almighty I hope I win! Let me tell you what I would do with this bed! I would stay on it while I slept. Why you ask would someone say they would stay on my bed while they slept as it seems like this is a given. Not in my house! I need tis bed to stay on because I have four cats and an 87 lb rescue dog, who thinks she is a 10 lb cat, that also sleep on my current full sized bed. I also should not forget my boyfriend, who also would also probably chose “stay on the bed” as what he would do with the bed. My dog tends to sleep in between us and if she does not have enough space will kick out her feed to make you move. If you try to move her she goes limps and kicks with her feet. So, while I tried to train her not to get on the bed this did not work out as she was so persistent that we would always reinforce her when we got too tired of pushing off her. So, what I would do on this bed is snuggle my boyfriend and the cutest, sweetest animals a girl could ask for! Oh and there would problaby be some jumping, but don’t tell my mom!

I’ve been having chronic headaches for several months now, and my doctor told me it’s largely due to a)stress and b)poor sleep. I know that a good night’s sleep would make a huge difference in my energy, stress, and happiness levels. With a better night’s sleep on a Tempur-Pedic, I’d be refreshed, and ready to kick those headaches out the door!

I’ve got an upcoming medical procedure that will require me to give up coffee/caffeine; I’ve been through the procedure before and this part (I love coffee!) is always an ordeal. With a better night’s sleep, I might not need caffeine in the first place!

I love Tempur-Pedic! I actually own one and would be giving this little gem to my two older boys. If they got a better nights sleep, mama would! And then little bodies wouldn’t find their way wedged between mom & dad. I wouldn’t moan and groan so much when my alarm sounds at 5:30 and oh man, I’d have much more patience and love to go around. I so enjoy sleep. I just wish I got more of it 🙂

I recently slipped on a piece of ice and cracked a few vertebra. I don’t sleep… at all. My husband has also just returned from his third deployment from Afghanistan. He has been in the Army forever and has turned into a very light sleeper. We have been talking about buying a new bed, so the both of us can get a better nights sleep. Having a better nights sleep would make us better parents, him more productive at work, and I really don’t think we would be crabby all the time. Thank you for this opportunity!

With a better night’s sleep I wont have to take my pain medication all the time. I would be able to sleep comfortable and peacefully. I haven’t had a new mattress in years, right now I am living with my son’s Grandmother and her and her son switched mattress’s and I do not like this mattress.. I would also LOVE a new mattress for my new apt.
Thank you

I would treat everyone with so much more patience and positivity if I had a new bed as comfortable as the Tempurpedic.
