Good morning everyone! I hope you woke up feeling refreshed and ready to take on your day. Today we are talking about something that is a part of life for EVERY SINGLE ONE of us—> SLEEP! I want to share with you about how important sleep is for our health and wellness! This post is sponsored by Sleep Number® and they have an INCREDIBLE giveaway for you today (I’m talking incredible!!!) so don’t forget to enter at the end of this post!
—————————————————————————–
I think sleep is kind of a funny thing. The other night I woke up to Andrew snapping his fingers while he was asleep. I think he was having a dream about Beretta because he snaps his fingers at her when he wants her to do something. I snore, always have and I don’t know how to stop. I have a brother that used to sleep RUN occasionally from the ages of 5-9. He would be sleep running through the house and my dad would have to catch him. He even went out the front door one night during his sleep run. When I was a little girl and didn’t fall asleep at the exact time that I wanted to for school the next day I would cry to my parents. I was so stressed that I would not wake up on time for class and get a tardy (I was quite the punctual student;). Each night our kids fall asleep holding on to a toy or crayon, sharing the bed with the dog or with 2 of their 4 limbs hanging off of the bed. Some nights I can’t remember any of my dreams and other nights I wake up thinking that whatever happened in my dreams must have actually happened in real life (sorry, Andrew about being mad occasionally over what happened in my dreams). Whenever Brooke wakes up and I ask her what she dreamed about, she replies “Mama” in her most sweet voice (because she knows exactly how to butter me up for the day;) While sleep can be kind of strange and so unique for each of us, sleep is so important for every single one of us!
I think that a lot of times we focus our health efforts mainly on our nutrition and physical activity but we cannot forget the huge role that sleep plays on overall health & wellness! I think sleep is something that we can all make improvements with including putting our to-do lists away when we should be resting our bodies from all of the running, playing and working all day long.
Here are a few common side effects for me when I am not sleeping well (aka after my divorce for a while or when I was having all of those gut issues or when I’ve been stressed out about family things):
*My mile splits aren’t what I want them to be, I have a harder time finishing workouts and goodness gracious race day does not go well if I have not been sleeping well.
*I make poor eating choices. When I am tired, I reach for sugar all day long hoping that it will give me the energy I am missing from not sleeping well.
*I have lower motivation with work, with taking care of the house, with getting things DONE.
*It’s hard for me to focus on things. I feel like my brain is everywhere except for where I want it to be in the moment.
*Overall, when I am not sleeping well or making sleep a priority I just feel like I’m not tapping into my potential as a wife/mom/runner/daughter/blogger/sister etc. and I don’t like that feeling at all.
Turns out that when I’m not sleeping well, SO many things in my life are effected negatively.
When I am sleeping well, it feels like life just goes so much more smoothly. My overall perspective about life is better and I eat a lot better. I notice progress in my running and I can focus on my work. I’m a much better wife and mom (just ask Andrew and the kids;). The positive things that come from sleeping well are definitely the best motivation to make sure that I take care of myself, my health and go to bed at a good time. Time for us all to make sure that we are sleeping better!
I kind of tricked Andrew when we were dating. I was all about staying up late with him and watching movies or talking until way too late. And then a little bit into marriage, he realized that sleep means a lot to me. I look forward to it, I want to be in my bed for as many hours as possible and anytime that I can get in bed early, I do. Since I first met Andrew, he has gotten a lot better at getting in bed at a good time and making more time for sleeping BUT our old mattress was killing his back. We were using my old one and I would wake up in the mornings some days with him sleeping on the floor because the mattress hurt his back so bad. For a few years I was single and all I had to worry about was how the mattress worked for me (and for Brooke when she would climb into my bed each morning). We got married and all of the sudden I needed a mattress that was perfect for TWO people! Between Andrew’s back killing him and the fact that I’m always game for finding more ways to have a better night’s sleep, we were so excited to try Sleep Number!
Great sleep starts with your mattress. We went to the Sleep Number store and had an awesome experience there! We brought the kids and my mom. The team members there were so friendly and helpful! They helped us to really personalize what we needed and what would be the best solution for Andrew’s back problems along with our desire for two very different mattresses. I prefer a softer mattress and Andrew prefers a more firm mattress. I think that this has to be my favorite part about our Sleep Number mattress, it is a win-win situation for the two of us. Neither of us has to settle on one type of mattress, we both get what we love!
It is so easy to adjust each side of our Sleep Number mattress. You can use the bed remote or your phone to get to the exact Sleep Number® setting that is perfect for you (I am at a 35 and Andrew is usually around 60 or more and you can choose anywhere from 5-100)! I am SO comfortable on my side at 35… it feels like I get to have my mattress exactly where my body is it’s happiest.
We are learning A LOT about our sleep with our Sleep Number mattress. Through the SleepIQ™ technology I get to see exactly how well I sleep each night. The information that is gathered from the mattress is shown on an app on my phone and it tells me when the best hours of sleep are for me, how many breaths per minute I take, when I am restless and restful and even my average heart rate while I am asleep. Having all of this information and seeing where I can improve has provided a way for me to challenge myself to get a better night of sleep each night. Also, Sleep Number mattresses actually adjust to better fit to your own personal needs which I am excited to see how that continues to help me to sleep better!
Andrew has been loving adjusting his side of the bed to meet his needs and to make his back happier. Hallelujah for no more floor sleeping, right Andrew?
Overall, we are loving our Sleep Number mattress and we are really happy to have such a great solution for the two of us. Now we each get a good night of sleep while sleeping on the same mattress.. it is wonderful:)
Sleep is so important for everyone but remember, as runners we really have to make sure we are getting enough sleep each night if we want to continue to train hard and recover well! “It’s during the third and fourth stages of a typical sleep cycle when a body heals itself. That’s when the human growth hormone (HGH) is released from the pituitary gland. Although it’s gotten notoriety as a performance-enhancing drug, in its natural form it plays a key role in building and repairing muscle tissue and bones, as well as acting as a catalyst for the body to use fat as fuel. Without the right amount of HGH in the blood, recovery from workouts is hindered, prolonging the time it takes the body to build a strong aerobic engine.” (source) Don’t let your lack of sleep get in the way of recovering from your workouts!

Caitlyn
Smith Haven Mall Store
I’ve been having a sore back lately from my current mattress.
Jenny
Alderwood Mall Washington Store
We have been sleeping on the same mattress for 15 years. It is definitely time to get a new mattress!!! I like something plush and my husband likes something firmer. We both are waking up with sore backs so a new mattress would really help us get better sleep!
Ali
Newport News, VA
I’ve had my mattress for over 8 years and it’s a full sized. It was perfect when I was single but now that I’m married with two little ones it’s just too small. And it’s becoming lop-sided :(
Kendra DelCore
Our closest sleep number store is in Braintree MA. We are due for a new mattress! Our backs are sore when we wake up in the morning.

Lehigh Valley Mall
Emily J.
University Parkway, Orem is nearest to me. I love being up early but I have trouble going to bed early too … so I’m perpetually sleep deprived.
Chelsea
Knoxville, TN- I have a trouble with being cold when I get in bed but waking up way too hot in the middle of the night.
Anneliese
ABQ Uptown is closest to me. I tend to wake up in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep.
Juli D.
Woodland Mall is my closest! I wake up in the night too much!
Shay @ Whine Less, Breathe More
My mattress has a few too many years on it. My closest store is Overland Park.
Mia
Savannah GA ia my closest store. The combination of a nearly 10 year old mattress and a one year old who has yet to sleep through the night!!! Okay, so maybe a new mattress won’t solve Both issues, but I can hope!
Erica Cooper
Baybrook Texas is my closest store. My issues- super old mattress that gives me Body aches. My neck, back, and legs. I wake up and my legs and feet still feel tired. I often get cricks in my neck.
paige c
The Westfield UTC store is closest to me! I have been have neck pain and headaches after sleeping a lot lately and my fiance has back issues!
Hannah
chicago, IL store
going to bed way too late. I can be a bit of an insomniac. Would love to try a truly comfortable mattress that would motivate me to go to bed earlier
Alex
My sleep number store is in Cherry Creek, Colorado!
I always wake up with neck soreness! I have been saying I need a new mattress for the last year…maybe this will be my chance :)!
Tara
Promenade Shops at Centerra
Our bed has a hill in the middle…probably time for a new one! :)
Kerri Martin
Grapevine, TX – my husband and I are complete opposites like you guys. I thought I liked a super soft mattress but my husband likes a mattress to be even softer than I do. He ends up on the couch a fair bit! I also am a terrible fidgeter and I’m guessing that that feeling won’t make it over to his side. I am a total night owl and my husband is an early to bed’early to rise person – I go to bed t the asame time as him now but fall asleep WAY later!
Amie
My store is at the Solomon Pond Mall. Our mattress is pretty old, so it would be awesome to get a new one! It would motivate me to go to bed earlier!
Angela
Delafield, WI
Always stiff when we get out of bed in the morning, our poor mattress is pretty darn old.
Katie B
The Ridgedale Mall store is closest to me. I’d love to win because my current mattress is about 10 years old and due for replacement–it sags in the middle.
Andrea Rueter
Brea, Ca!!
My hubby and both wake up with sore backs. I would love to be able to sleep and wake up refreshed each morning!
Tiffany
My store is:
Sleep Number
Lafayette
Beside Mike Raisor Ford
2131 Sagamore Pkwy SLafayette, IN 47905
(765) 446-8081
My issue is my significant other snores! I’ve always wondered if the sleep number beds can stop someone from snoring just by tilting the mattress up like in the commercials! If I could get him to stop snoring that would be awesome!!
Dottie @crazyfitmommy
I’m halfway between San Tan Village and Superstition Springs Center :)
My husband snores and has sleep apnea, and I just sleep terribly. I’m always sore and tired lately — ironically I think it’s because he decided to stack two memory foam toppers on our bed and now it’s WAY too soft. He loves it though, so I tolerate it. It would be sooo nice to be able to keep my half of the bed more firm than his!
Sarah @ SarahRuns26
Salina, KS
My biggest sleep problem lately is a 6 week old baby! He sleeps pretty well but I always appreciate a full night of sleep!!
Lacy
Location: Pittsburgh-Ross Township
Biggest sleep problem is that we are using the same cheap mattress I got right after undergrad and it’s worn out!
Hannah
Barton Creek Store. My sleep issues: waking up to both lower back pain and a weird pain just under my shoulder! I would love to win this mattress because my husband and I have the same problem you and Andrew did: we both have different definitions of comfortable!
Angie
Knoxville, TN – Turkey Creek
My biggest sleep issue is that I don’t wake up feeling refreshed and ready to go. My husband and I have the same mattress that we had when we got married. It was probably old back then since he had it for a few years prior. It is worn out and there is a “pit” in the middle that we both roll into during the night. Sounds more dramatic than it probably is! We would love to have a new mattress and have looked at them previously, but haven’t made the commitment to purchase.
Kayla
Location: Southern Park Mall in Boardman Ohio
My sleep problem is that I have a terrible mattress- its old and I am in dire need of a new one! My husband also likes a more plush mattress, and I prefer mine firm!
Beth
ABQ Uptown Store in Albuquerque
I wake up a number of times each night because my hips start hurting, then I flipped to the other side for an hour or 2, until that side starts hurting!
Meghan Dondero
So awesome! I’ve always heard about Sleep Number but I haven’t ever really checked them out! The closest store to me is just outside of Nashville, TN, in Belle Meade! I don’t always sleep through the night, but generally, I’m a great sleeper! :)
Annie
The Milford, CT store is closest to where I live (New Haven, CT). I am also a runner and have a hard time staying asleep, especially after races, because of a sore back. I think it’s because of a crappy, old mattress. Hubby also has a hard time sleeping because of a bad shoulder. We also wake each other up when we get out of bed because the springs creak so loudly! Ugh! Anyway, LOVE your blog and thanks for the giveaway!!
Mary Ann
Mayfair Mall is my closest story. My current sleep problem is a newborn. :) I’m not sure a sleep number bed can help with that, but I know it would make the sleep I do get much better!
Jessie
University Parkway
I am 7+ months pregnant and can’t get comfortable! My husband prefers a much more firm mattress than me so he also sleeps on the floor occasionally when his back is hurting too much. We would love a mattress that best suites both of us.
Amie
My closest store is Burlington MA. I would love to win so my husband and I can sleep side by side again. He has back spasms and leaves our room so he does not wake me. I hate our current mattress and sleep at the foot of the bed about half the time. Thanks for chance.
Kim W.
There is a store at Charleston Town Center Mall in Charleston, WV, which would be the closest for me. My husband and I tend to toss and turn and if one of us is having trouble sleeping, then it usually affects the sleep of the other. I miss good sleep!
Melissa Z
Warrington, PA – The shops at Valley Square is where my closest Sleep Number store is. I am currently pregnant, so any help sleeping better is welcomed at this stage! Also, my husband has back issues from previous injuries. I’ve heard good things about Sleep Number beds helping with lessening back pain.
Michelle AndrePont
Shreveport–Shoppes at Bellemead.
I just haven’t been able to get comfortable on our mattress lately. Have been waking with some back pain.
Michelle AndrePont
I’d love to win so I could get a good night’s sleep
Josie
Tigard-Bridgeport Village is the closest store to me. I’d love to win so my fiance could finally get a good night sleep. We’re similar to you and Andrew, we sleep on my old mattress which is fine for me but really hurts his back. Sometimes he sleeps on the couch in the living room!
Kate
The Altamonte (Fl) store is closest to me!
Our mattress is 10 years old and is starting to feel lumpy and hurt our backs. A new mattress would be amazing!
Christa
The galleria at crystal run in Middletown, NY! Would be amazing to have a bed both my husband and I both can sleep comfortably in…… he loves a firm mattress and I need a soft bed due to many surgeries in my chest
Christine Y.
Freehold Raceway Mall
I’ve been wanting a Sleepnumber mattress FOREVER!!! My husband snores and I don’t. My husband wants a very firm bed and I do not! A Sleepnumber bed would be life changing for us. I mean you do spend more time in your bed than practically anywhere else.
Melanie
Mall of America is my closest store. I’d LOVE to win this because I’ve been tossing and turning every night. I need sleeeeep!
Ellie
Westroads Center Store
The mattress we have has a split box spring so it caves in the middle. Would love to get a new mattress to fix that issue and help improve our sleep!
Erin @ Her Heartland Soul
Omaha!! And a super sore neck. :(
courtney
Cherry Hill Mall
–tossing and turning (had to get a smaller bed when we moved and it’s just not enough space for this bedtime thrasher!
Emily
Brooklyn, near the Atlantic Center. My (much beloved) mattress is getting old and I need a replacement soon!
Amanda Stevens
Apparently, I’m the same distance from two stores, the Millenia Mall and the Florida Mall locations. My husband and I are like you and Andrew, we like different firmness levels so we usually compromise and end up with back pain the next day! We’d love a sleep number bed but would never be able to afford one.
Stephanie Kooistra
Muskegon, Michigan
I have back trouble and would love to see if this mattress could help with that.
Robyn S
Valley West Store. I’ve been waking up with hip pain. The mattress I bought only a year ago is too firm I think. I’d love to win a sleep number mattress!!
Courtney
Burlington, VT! would love to see my back issues resolved!
Deb Arnold
The Woodlands Mall Store – I would love to win because my husband is 6’5″ and I just had a baby (hello lower back pain) and having a bed that met both our needs would be awesome!!
Amanda
My closest store is Cambridge – MA. I guess my biggest sleeping problem is that my boyfriend (now ex) was storing and then borrowing my bed while I was away at college. We broke up and he still had it. I have nightmares of what a college boy did on my bed (and I’m just talking about the food, drinking, dirty feet).
Meghan
Glendale Heights, IL!
My biggest issue sounds like yours, my husband and I like different softness and firmness in our mattresses!
Allison
City Center SF is the closest location to me. My mattress is more firm than what I’d like, and I haven’t been getting great sleep for a couple years now!
Stephanie!
Brooklyn-Boerum Hill
Im ready to flip my current mattress but there are no more ‘new’ sides to flip it too!
Amy S.
Sleep Number Layton, UT
My husband and I have the same issue- he likes his mattress more firm because he has back issues while I like it softer.
ErikaMC
I’m about an hour away from the nearest store in West Des Moines, Iowa. Sleep problems – baby sleep regression :)
Amy Seifert
Springfield Mall in PA
My back keeps me up at night.
Ashley
Cranston, RI- had a baby 3 months ago and would love for the interrupted sleep that I’ve been getting to be on one of these awesome beds!!
Christina
Asheville Mall in Asheville,NC!
It takes me forever to fall asleep some nights. I’ve also experienced some back pain, but nothing so bad that I’d rather sleep on the floor ;). Nonetheless, I’ve wanted to try a sleep number for years!!!
erica
city center – san francisco. I would love to be able to adjust the bed to how i want it without affecting my husband (or the other way around…he tends to wake me up a lot
Crystal Griswold
MILLBURY-SHOPPES AT BLACKSTONE VALLEY in Millbury, MA is closest to me! I’ve been having sciatic nerve pain in my leg for months now but I know what would help….this bed!!!! Lol!
Molly
Towson Center Store , Towson, MD is the closest to me!
I am a great sleeper… once I fall asleep. But it is so hard for me to get comfortable lately! Perhaps it’s because I’ve had the same old mattress for 20 years (ugh)!
Tram
My store is in Hot Springs, AR.
My mattress has been passed down to us from family members. It’s so old, it has a hole in it the size of a small dog. And when I’m washing the sheets, I have to keep my dog from digging a deeper hole. My kids make fun of me. I usually flip it over, but the other side is pretty bad too. A new mattress would be FANTASTIC!!!! Thanks so much for doing this!
Alicia K
Westfield Capital Mall :)
My husband and I are both runners, my husband is more on the professional/elite side while I am training for my first Marathon! I am JUST like you, I need sleep, I need it to function- I wake up in the morning and count down until I can be back in bed. My husband has been suffering a lot with sciatic nerve pain (to where he can barely walk) and I have been having a lot of hip issues lately, our mattress is pretty old and right now (we were just talking about how we think getting a newer mattress would maybe help with our pains) we just cant afford to purchase a new one! I would LOVE to win one because we both NEED a good nights sleep and a comfortable sleep, I am sure you can relate any injury that holds you back from running can be really frustrating and it makes us both pretty cranky! :)
Alicia
Court
DEPTFORD MALL is closest to me. would love to not lug an old mattress around as we move in the fall! move in to a new apartment with a fresh start :]
Kelly M.
Destiny USA Syracuse is my closest store. I struggle getting comfortable and relax in bed, and I really should go and try one of these beds!
Katya
Grand Traverse Mall
I am currently working night shifts at the hospital so my sleep has been out of whack! I would love to win because I am starting medical school this summer and will be moving, so I’m looking for a new bed + mattress! I also want to make sleep a priority unlike my time in undergrad and establish a healthy and balanced routine. :)
Autumn
Pitttsburgh-Ross Township Store
I wake up constantly all night long, need a solid night of sleep, pleaseeee!

My back muscle stay so sore from running and lifting and my husband and I have the opposite preferences when it comes to a mattress – he prefers firm and I need soft !
Margaret R.
City Center – San Francisco
I’ve been a very restless sleeper ever since my daughter was born (over 4 years ago!) I’m sure our 15 year old mattress isn’t helping – I’d love to try a Sleep Number mattress!
Amy
The closest store to me is the University Mall one!
I would love to win this mattress! I have never really had a great mattress and would love one that I could wake up without my back hurting in the morning! It would make being a mama, working and going to school a little easier! Haha!
Alexis J
Grand Traverse Mall in Traverse City, MI
I love my sleep too! My husband and I would love to win this! I like a firm mattress and he likes a softer one. We’ve actually talked about buying a firm pillow top and only putting it on my side of the bed–haha! This would be amazing for us!
Amanda B
Sleep Number Marlborough, Solomon Pond Mall
My husband has been sleeping on the floor because his back is killing him. He has back issues but isn’t convinced our bed is part of it. Would love to get a new mattress to rule that out and help him find some relief!!! Plus, I’d finally be able to sleep through the night without him waking me in pain!!
Eleanor Lynch
Mayfaire Town Center – Wilmington, NC. I get hot and uncomfortable each night and would love a more restful night’s sleep. Running after 4 little ones tires me out enough!
Jessica
Newberry Rd location
My husband wants to sleep on rocks and I’d prefer to be engulfed by a cloud ;) He has problems like Andrew so we really need a new mattress soon!
Mandy Kirk
I live right between the Sandy and Murray UT ones, so lucky me. I tend to get a lot of tightness and soreness in my neck, which then spreads down my arm. Occasional back pain. My husband is very active in cycling and physical activity, and gets sore, and sometimes our bed makes it worse. I would love to win because I have been married almost 19 years, and we are still using the same bed, that we got when we got married. ?
Kelsey Markham
The closest to me is just a few miles away, sleep number Morgantown!!
I could use a new bed for overall better sleep and to help prevent back pain! Plus it would be nice to upgrade the size!!! It would be AMAZING to have a brand new comfy bed:)
Suriyah Fish
Tulsa OK!
I’ve noticed the same thing with my running/mile splits when I don’t sleep well, and race day after bad sleep is a nightmare! I would LOVE to win this!!
Nicole
Vacaville nut tree, CA is closest to me.
Our current mattress is nearly 15 years old! It’s terrible I know! At this point it’s killing both of our backs. When I first met my husband years ago he was sleeping on a twin size sleep number bed!
Jessie G
Lee’s Summit, MO is the closest to me. A new mattress I could adjust might just be the answer to my sleeping issues!
Natasha
Crabtree Valley Mall Store in Raleigh, NC is closets to me!
Being pregnant with 2 doggies on the bed make for a rough night’s sleep most nights! Plus the bed is about 8 years old — I think that’s the time a new mattress should be purchased so I’d love to win this!
Maggie
Harford Mall
My husband has a bad back that doesn’t do well on our fabulous soft bed (I love a soft bed). So he tosses and turns because of his back pain, thus keeping me awake all night. One bed where we both can get the softness/firmness we want sounds amazing!
Emily
YAYYYYYY
North Scottsdale. 4 M away.
Gotta love the 4!!
My husband’s back is horrible I’m assuming a new mattress would certainly help.
I’m a horrible sleeper.
I like firm. He likes soft so ummmmm…..pretty sure this would solve that huge issue!!
YESSSSSSSSS
Jasmine S.
Layton hills mall – I need help falling asleep!
Stacey
Charlotte Pineville is my closest store. We are in desperate need of a new mattress- a replacement is way over due!
Maureen
Forest Hills, Queens NY! I get hot every time I sleep!
Mary
Sleep Number Cheyenne in the Frontier Mall of Cheyenne. What I struggle most with when I try to sleep is staying asleep. I have no issue falling asleep (thanks to running ), but i usually wake up at least once or twice at night. I really think a Sleep Number mattress will help me stay asleep so I can start feeling more rested when I wake up in the mornings. The reason I haven’t bought a sleep number mattress myself is because we are renovating our house and counting every penny. Please, I’d love to win this mattress!
Diana W
Bridgewater Commons
We need to upgrade to king size, since our 1yr old ends up between us. And I end up curled on about 2 inches of space. My neck and shoulders hurt from the mattress being to soft too.
Ashlyn Ririe
BROOKLYN, NY – my bed situation is so bad. My bed squeaks with any slight movement and I use the mattress from the previous tenant. Who knows how long it’s been passed down!? Yikes. But I wake up in the night SO much! I’m never comfortable. I wake up with a sore neck at least every other day. And I just never feel well rested throughout the day. Living in such an expensive city and living paycheck to paycheck, buying a mattress is the last thing on my mind.
I would be so grateful to win! ❤️
Andee
The Sandy and Murray stores are both 5 miles, so it would be a toss up over which one to go to.
I would love to win this bed for several reasons. One being that our current bed is ridiculous. It was a hand-me-down when we got married 17 years ago. As we’ve gotten older we are experiencing far more aches and pains in our hips, backs and necks. Pretty sure our current mattress isn’t helping us out in any of those areas. I would Love, love, love to win this fantastic giveaway!!
Jennifer
Woodmere, OH
So, I am OFFICIALLY PAST my due date!!! I need some sleep. I also just put a bid on a house, so stressful!
Christine H
South Park Center in Strongsville, Ohio. Would love to wake up without a sore lower back for once!
Rachel
The Shops at La Cantera – so close by!
My husband hurt his back a few weeks ago and really would sleep better with a firmer mattress!

Sore back and sore hips. It’s time for a new mattress!
Jessica
University Pkwy-Orem
I have lower back issues but my poor hubby gets out of bed every night bc our bed is not comfortable for him. He has back pain and sciatica issues going on. A new sleep number bed would be heaven!
Megan B
Sleep Number Springfield- in Springfield MO. Currently the problem I have with sleeping is getting comfortable because I am 20 weeks pregnant and my husband still (somehow) make due sleeping on a full size bed! I am also a night shift nurse and so getting good sleep is very important for me and my job! Sometimes it is hard to sleep during the day, but a nice comfy bed would help!
Emily
My closest store is in Abilene, TX! I have pain in my left shoulder when I sleep from sitting over my laptop all day.
Sarah Arnold
St. Joseph, Missouri
We have lumps in our mattress from where we sleep! We have a “few” co-sleepers with us almost nightly. Would love a nice new bed! Incentive to get our cosleepers into their own beds.

Vestal, NY- I’ve been waking up with my right shoulder into my neck hurting. Our pillow top mattress is only 2 years old at the most and is already sagging where we sleep. It would be nice to customize sides of the bed too!!

I have a nerve issue in my lower back. From time to time I also have neck pain. Love your blog!
Angie on Maui
Slumberworld Maui is my nearest location!
Lower back problems are my life. ? A new bed that would keep both myself and the Hubs happy would be a lifesaver!
Melanie
University Parkway in Orem is the closest store to me. I need a new mattress because last year I hurt my back and have since had problems sleeping on my current mattress. I have been wanting a sleep number mattress for years. I will have one someday!
Iris Butler
My closest store is in Forest Hills, Queens!
My bed was purchased when I first met my ex- it is just another thing I’d love to get rid of that in some ways reminds me of him!
I also have a disk in my spine that didn’t fully develop, consequently, I have nights and days where I experience some severe pain in my back- this would make sleeping easy!
Victoria Thomas
Laurel Park Place Store. My sleep issue is that I have a small bladder and wake up several times to go
Rachael
Fox River Mall in Wisconsin
I am pregnant and desperately need a good nights sleep before baby comes! I’d love this!
Whitney Glassman
Canton, Michigan!!
Our issues are similar to yours and Andrew’s. My husband likes a more firm mattress and I need it softer. My neck is always sore and hurting and I wake up throughout the night. Not to mention that when I’m pregnant all of this is compounded!! We’ve tried several different mattresses but try to stay under the $1,000 range. At this point I wish we had just bought a sleep number to begin with!! Ugh. I hope we get lucky! :)

The sleep issue I’ve been having is tossing and turning. I can’t seem to get comfortable and stay asleep.
Hayley
Nearest store to me is at Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi, MI.
My fiance and I have different preferences for our mattresses. At any given time, one of us is less happy with our sleeping situation than the other. It would be so nice to have a bed that could accommodate both of us.

I hAve a newborn so my problem is lack of sleep and falling back asleep after feeding time is over.

Would love a new mattress! Been a while since our last one! :(

Our bed has become too small for this pregnant mama of a two year-old and my husband. It’s also not as firm as it once was (I’m talking major body sinkholes, haha)! We would love to win!
Kristen
Sandy, UT on state street is my closest!!!
Husband and I definitely have different preferences on how we like our matttess and we were just talking about getting a new bed!!!
Andee
The closest store to me is Fairview Heights, IL (St. Clair Square).
I just don’t feel rested when I wake up, which makes me feel foggy and irritable. We are sleeping on the same mattress my husband used in HIGH SCHOOL (um, we’re both turning 40 this year!?). We’ve put a mattress topper aka “band aid” on the problem but it is still pretty uncomfortable. I’d love to get a new mattress for us, but between a cheap husband (I mean that in the nicest way) and other expenses a new mattress always takes a backseat.
Thanks for a great giveaway!
Nikki
Augusta GA is my closest store. I’m always waking up stiff and sore. I think I could have longer better quality sleep with a sleep number.
Kiersten Pfeifer
The Maine Mall is the closest store to me. I have a major sleep problem – a newborn baby! Sleep is in short supply already with a baby, so it is extra annoying when I can’t get back to sleep after being up with the baby because I can’t get comfortable or because my husband is shaking the bed with his tossing and turning.
Jennifer Jaggers
Woohoo!!! They just opened a store 30 miles away from me. Which is closer than before, since I live in Middle of Nowhere, KS. My husband and I both prefer a former mattress, and since we have had pur mattress for too long, we need to upgrade so we can both get better quality sleep.
Beata D'Amato
Corpus Christi, TX
My back and hips have really been hurting because our mattress is not supportive enough. We’d love a sleep number!
Amy Wallace
Parkway place in Huntsville, AL is my closest store. I would love to win because I have lupus and it constantly causes aches in different areas of my body. It would be amazing to be able to change the number on my side to accommodate the changing aches my body faces without having to change my husband’s side of the mattress.
Kate S
Brentwood store. I get a lot of neck and shoulder pain when I sleep. I’d love to win so I could play around to find the best setting for my joints.
Amanda
Parkway place Huntsville,Al. We need a new mattress because we are using the one my parents used forever. My husband likes a firm matress and I like soft, so we haven’t changed. Would love to try this.
Suzy
Southpark Meadows
I can’t sleep on my stomach. If I sleep on my side, my arms fall asleep. If I sleep on my back, my neck kills me the next day!
Jaime Stephens
The sandy Utah one is 10 miles.. I would love to win this because A- we would have twinner beds B- I haven’t gotten a new bed for way to long. To long to even say. And C- I want to be a winner winner chicken dinner.
Alex Ellis
My husband starts medical school in a month, and I work full time, so we’ll both be extremely busy. We’re hoping to utilize the hours we have dedicated to sleep with maximum rest! We have a cheap mattress from when we got married–we were newly wed college students trying to save money–but our sleep has suffered because of it! We still sleep on it, but not well at all. We both struggle with aches from a combination of lack of good sleep, stress, and not properly recovering from workouts. We would LOVE a Sleep Number to help us find the perfect way to get quality sleep. Your live video convinced me that Sleep Number beds are magic! The closest store to us is Cambridge, MA.
Sam Bauman
Our closest store is in monroeville pa. I have neck issues ever since having my second son so a new mattress would be amazing!
Amy
My closest store is Tukwila, WA. I would love a new mattress because the brand new mattress ($1000+) we purchased less than three years ago is all messed up now. (Lumps, divots, you name it!) I am dying to replace it, but the cost is holding us back. ??
Samantha
Columbia Center Mall-Kennewick, WA
Both my husband and I have back issues and would love a new mattress
Erica
Hi! This giveaway is amazing! Our closest store is Ridge Hill in Yonkers NY. I’ve been begging my husband for a new mattress for months. He is now suffering from bad back issues. I’ve been going through ivf and can never get comfortable in our bed. Would love to win this!!!
Laurie
Marketplace Mall in Champaign IL
I am a girl who loves her sleep, but I only tend to get 4-6 hours a night which I know isn’t enough! I wake up too frequently to my husband trying to get comfortable in bed. We have been looking for a great mattress for a while. This would be an amazing start I believe!! What an amazing giveaway!!!
Rebecca
Layton Hills–my bed has the same problem you run into when you sleep on a trampoline. You roll into the middle! I would love to get a good night’s sleep!
Stacy Reibsome
My closet store is Scranton — Shoppes at Montage. My lower back and neck hurts when I wake up, a sleep number mattress would be amazing!!
Christy
Promenade Shops at Centerra
I have a lot of problems with lower back pain and muscle spasms. A sleep number would allow me to adjust between firmer when my back hurts, and softer when my muscles were knotted up.
Katie White

I am always freezing at the start of the night and then get too warm.

Streets of south point in Durham, NC!
We’ve had a ton of back problems so a new mattress would be incredible!

We need this mattress, please. My wife has had back pain for about 5 yrs now. After several different back injections there is still no relief. On top of the herniated discs she has a lot of arthritis. She’s only 50 yrs old. She has to be on prescription strength anti-inflammatory and pain meds daily. I hate to see her in this kind of pain. Our current mattress is about 5 yrs old. But I think might be too soft for us now. I’m hoping a good mattress will help. Thanks

Denton- Rayzor Ranch location :). My husband and I are exhausted even when we get a full night’s sleep. I’ve also been sore waking up and having some neck/back issues.
