This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sleep Number for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
As parents, the truth is we have many responsibilities! If you’re like me, you are running non-stop during waking hours. However, did you know laying our heads on our pillow and closing our eyes each night proves to be one of the most important steps we can take to stay healthy. According to a recent Sleep Number® survey, Americans are getting an average of 6.7 hours of sleep, which is well below the recommended eight hours—some are even getting less than four hours a night! I am actually one of those people that are lucky to get a full 4-5 hours of sleep each night before my alarm goes off at 4:45 each morning. Lately the lack of sleep I am getting is starting to take a toll not only on my physical health but mental health as well. This has led me to try to find better ways to get the full eight hours of sleep I need, but also find ways to improve the quality of sleep I do get! So when I heard about how easy Sleep Number® makes tracking your sleep with SleepIQ® technology, I was very interested in learning more! The truth is I have been watching the Sleep Number® info-commercials for years and like many people, it’s been on my wish list ever since. However, I wasn’t sure if I could actually afford it or if it was even worth the price until now.
.
This weekend we headed to our local store, so we could actually see the beds first hand and test them out! When we walked in the store, we were greeted by Mandy, who is actually the store manager in the Mall of GA store.
She let us try all the bed models and answered all our questions. She explained everything in detail. She was very patient with us and answered all our questions even though this was a busy Saturday afternoon, and the store was packed. We also found out our sleep number, She mentioned that our sleep number might change on different models but mine never changed. My sleep number is a 40 on them all. My husband’s sleep number actually changed on a few models but not by much. His numbers were 45-50. We were really impressed, and I can honestly say I no longer have any doubts. We loved all the models, but my favorite was i10!
He didn’t have a favorite and said he wouldn’t mind having either of them! My husband doesn’t easily agree when it comes to big purchases, but he was actually more ready to buy than I was. If it was up to him we would have bought one before walking out of the store. So, ladies, I am sure you know that says a lot!
We were amazed about how the sensors work directly with advanced DualAir™ technology inside the Sleep Number bed which measures average breathing rate, average heart rate, movement, and even bed presence to show you the quality of your sleep. SleepIQ® data helps identify routines and factors that affect sleep. Using an intuitive activity tracker, you can monitor things like caffeine intake, diet, exercise, television, media usage, and medications. You can use this knowledge to identify trends and make changes over time; from the ideal comfort, firmness and support of your bed – your SLEEP NUMBER® setting, to adjusting daily routines like diet and exercise. The best part there is nothing to wear, nothing to turn on, and SleepIQ® technology is available with all Sleep Number beds! We didn’t decide to buy this weekend since we had the kids, and they were ready to go but I did get quotes, and all the other information that I needed. I even got a email this morning with my IndividualFit℠ image!
This gives us time to really think about this more before actually purchasing, but I think it’s safe to say that we are really considering it. I have never seen my husband so excited about a bed before! He talked about it for the rest of the day and I even overheard him talking to his friend on the phone about it! I think that it’s safe to say he is ready to purchase now, because he has really been persuading me hard to me to join this investment! He does make some great arguments that I tend to agree with …quality of sleep is important and with Sleep Number® 25 year warranty it’s worth it. Plus with partner snore technology, I would no longer have to kick or yell to make him stop! So if you have been thinking about a Sleep Number® be sure to go test them out! You will be amazed just like we were! Use the Sleep Number store locator today to find the store closest to you!
In the comments below please tell me if you have or thinking about purchasing the Sleep Number® bed? I would love to hear your thoughts and how the SleepIQ technology could help you!

I could definitely go far the dual-temp layer! My husband and I have completely different views when it comes to our bedroom temperature at night…he’s always HOT and I’m always COLD! lol!

I have to admit, I have always wondered about the sleep number beds. I have wanting to get one for a while, but my one question is, how do you buy bedding for these beds?
Sleep Number says
Good question, Carmen! We offer a great selection of bedding designed to work with our beds, but bedding meant for industry standard deep pocket beds should work too if you already have a favorite brand. Just let us know if you have any other questions we can help you with.
We are definitely in the market for a new mattress right now! I have been reading a lot of reviews and info, so this was very helpful. My sister got one of the sleep number beds recently and loves it! We need to go have a date night so we can shop without kids and make our purchase! I would love to be able to change the firmness of the bed and temperature because my body changes with workouts as I train more. Thanks for the post! Great info!
My husband and I have been contemplating on getting a Sleep Number bed. We really want one but the price is kind of scary. This is pushing us to get one though!
We hope you’ll visit us soon, Sharon! We do our best to offer a bed for every budget, starting with our c2 Queen mattress as low as $699, so there’s a great chance we can help you find a bed you’ll love at a price you’re comfortable with. Just let us know if we can help with anything else in the meantime.
These beds sound amazing!! I had no idea you could have a cold and hot side of the bed with them!
I’ve wondered about this mattress – I’ve heard so many great things about it. I love the heat function! I sleep with a mound of blankets on me every night in addition to my comforter and sheets. lol I’m always freezing.
OMG I love sleep number beds! The Radison Hotel we stay at in Illinois has them. Amazing!
i’ve always been curious about sleep number, but i’ve been too scared to go into their stores. haha 🙂 i currently love the bed we have though.. but it’s coming up on 5 years.. i hear you’re supposed to change out your mattress every 5 years, right?
No need to be scared, Esther. Our local teams are only there to help! 🙂 Five to seven years is a pretty common replacement age for standard mattresses, but the most important thing is comfort. Come visit whenever you feel you aren’t sleeping as comfortably as you used to and we’ll help you find a bed that fits your needs.
I love their beds but wish that I could afford them . I fell in love the first time I tested one out.
This is totally amazing technology and could help so many people. Sleep is so important to our heath all away around. I would so love to buy a Sleep Number bed. thanks for sharing.
Oh yeah…not only have I been thinking about it, but I’ve been BEGGING for it for years!
We’ve been saving up for a Sleepnumber IQ. They are soo comfy! I love the research and time Sleepnumber invest into all of their products!
Thanks for being a fan, Sarah! We hope you have a chance to get one soon.
This article was right on time! We are in the market for a new mattress. I’m ashamed to say how long it’;s been since we’ve purchased one.
Sounds like a sign, Marina. 🙂 Stop in whenever you’re ready and we’ll help you find what you’re looking for.
I would consider a Sleep Number bed in a few years depending on the price tag. We need a new mattress but we just bought a new home and things like blinds are higher priority!
ong this is totally the dream bed!!! The things I would do to be a proud owner of one of these hehehe….. Hopefully one day!
My hubby and I have been talking about getting a new mattress for months, and Sleep Number would be perfect for us! He’s always hot, I’m always cold, and we have different levels of comfort, as well.
We have walked by the Sleep Number store so many times and I’ve been wondering what the mattresses would be like. We should swing in there sometime and check it out. It sounds like you guys were very impressed.
We’d love for you to stop in sometime, Penny! Just let us know if we can answer any questions for you in the meantime.
I like this new technology. It helps you give the best sleep and adjust based on your sleeping patterns.
