Mattress Buying Tips Twitter Party

Our customers have told us time and time again that they dread mattress shopping. That’s why Sleep Number is hosting two “Out with the Old, In with the New” Twitter parties on February 17th and February 24th to talk about all the reasons we dread mattress shopping and the simple things you can do to make the process easier. For example, do you know the five tell-tale signs it’s time to replace your mattress? We’ve developed some easy tips and guidelines to take some of the stress out of mattress shopping, including five signs it’s time to replace your mattress, six service factors to look for, three steps to buying perfect mattress and a personal mattress criteria checklist.

5 signs it’s time to replace your mattress*

1. You’re still tired when you wake up
2. Your body is filled with stiffness, aches and pains
3. You had a better night’s sleep somewhere other than your own bed
4. Your mattress sags or looks lumpy
5. Your mattress is 5-7 years old

Sleep experts @SleepNumberSara and @SleepGeekPete will be on hand to help navigate the mattress buying process and walk you through a checklist for figuring out what your personal mattress criterion is.

Join the Twitter party by following @SleepNumberSara and @SleepGeekPete and tweeting with the #SleepNumber hashtag on Twitter from 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM CT (8:00 PM – 9:30 PM ET), Thursday, February 17th or from 1:00 PM-2:30 PM CT (2:00 PM – 3:30 PM ET), Thursday, February 24th.

Party participants are eligible for chance to win one Queen Sleep Number p5 bed set with UPS shipping ($2,069.99 value). Must be 18 years of age or older. Must use the #SleepNumber hashtag during Twitter party and must sign-up at http://beds.com/fan-community/sleep-number-newsletter/ to be entered. Winners will be randomly selected among eligible participants and announced by @SleepNumberSara on Twitter on Friday, February 18, 2011 and Friday, February 25, 2011. Winners are required to pay federal taxes on gift. If requested, winners agree to promptly complete and return a W-9 form: Payer’s Request for Tax Payer’s Identification Number and Certification and you understand that, if required, the Prize/Gift supplier will issue a 1099 form and report the fair market value of the prize and/or gift to the Internal Revenue Service as required under current tax law.

    Sarah, thank you!
    I also adhere to similar rules for their mattresses. I think this is correct. We spend half my life at all. So it should conduct as comfortable and in reality. Good sleep – a good recovery of the body. Good recovery – good everyday! ))
