This month I received an option to visit a Sleep Number store to experience the new SleepIQ Technology. If I completed this mission I would receive a contour pillow as compensation.
SleepIQ Technology provides a simple and intuitive way to know more about your sleep. It tracks your sleep and provides information you can use to make adjustments to your SLEEP NUMBER setting and daily routine. Best of all, it empowers you so you can achieve your best possible sleep, night after night. Sleep IQ technology couldn’t be easier to use. Nothing to wear, nothing to turn on. All you have to do is sleep!
I was excited to try a Sleep Number bed to see how soft I really like my bed compared to B. B was supposed to go with me, but he had just come off third shift. I couldn’t convince him to get up and come with me. Let me just begin by saying the sales associate (who happen to be the store manager) was super nice and patient with me. She did not mind in the least helping me, full well knowing that I would not be purchasing a mattress. With the care she gave me, I am seriously now debating about getting one of these mattresses.
How firm or soft you like your mattress ranges from 1 to 100 with 1 being the softest and 100 being the most firm. We started at 100 and I told her I could sleep on it (let’s be honest I can sleep on anything), but it wasn’t truly comfortable for me. So she started to gradually decrease the firmness until I finally said that feels really good. She laughed at me and said I guess you do like it soft because my number was 20. I could have fallen asleep no problem. I am sure P would have liked to be lying in bed with me instead of sitting in the stroller. When she started to increase my numbers to the point where I wasn’t comfortable it was 25. She said I probably could go a little lower than 20 and still be really comfortable.
Overall, I was really satisfied with the mattress. I asked questions like can you pop the air pods inside? Nope, she said not possible. I had to ask because S likes to dive bomb on our current mattress. She said that I would not even feel B when he moved in bed. That could be a good thing and a bad thing. Good because he wouldn’t wake me up and bad because I may not realize when he gets up for work in the morning and he could oversleep. Also, we wouldn’t always feel when S tries to sneak in bed with us at night.
