1. Sleep lets your mind and body renew. From memory to healing, your body uses the time you are sleeping to refresh and renew. Reducing inflammation, fighting disease, strengthening your immune system – there’s a lot going on while you sleep.
2. People who get a good night’s sleep make smarter and healthier decisions. Cognitive abilities are stronger when you’ve had enough, quality rest. This even makes it easier to lose weight.
3. A good night’s sleep helps keep your heart healthy. Experts have linked heart disease and sleep disorders. Getting enough sleep and getting the right kind of sleep helps avoid cardiovascular disease and strokes.
schnoch……hoooooooo…….schnoch…….hooooooooo……. huh? That’s me getting in some quality z’s! Why?
A few days ago this happened at our house!
It's here!
Foundation comes in two pieces for a King...
A new mattress - it's a beautiful thing!
Good Night's Sleep? Here We Come!
Are you ready to see this at your house, too? I can say, I heartily recommend that if you have any of the signs of needing a new mattress, go for it!! What is more important than your physical and mental health?
UPDATE: I’ve gotten a few emails asking what model mattress we chose. Isn’t it crazy trying to figure out which mattress when they are all different names from store to store and there are so many options?! The two big questions right at the beginning are brand and retailer. We knew Sealy immediately (see my post about why I love Sealy). For the prize mattress, my choices were firm or plush and the size, so that made it easy! But we did just buy a Sealy Next Generation Posturepedic mattress for my daughter too, (it’s being delivered this Tuesday *excited*).
It helped me a lot to try to go down the list of what options were important to me… for us, the outside fabric didn’t matter that much because we put a protector, pad, and sheets. The most important for us was the firmness – we like firm. I don’t know if it’s true or not but it seems like firm would stay/last longer and we’re pretty frugal ;)  And then after that, it was how thick the foam would be. That’s where I had to go into a store to try it. We went to Sears – our local store didn’t carry mattresses, so we had to drive a bit, but not too bad. If you have a Sears near you, check before you drive! We found the middle-priced ones and then tried the different layer thicknesses. We ended up liking the one with two layers. Coincidentally, I think that is what our review mattress is also! And so far? Seriously, I am in love with the mattress! I wake up feeling so much better than I did before the mattress, wow it’s a big difference and I wish we wouldn’t have waited so long! The model we chose for our daughter, was Spring Blossom Ti at Sears, and I think that is comparable to the one we received for review. When you shop – don’t let the retail price scare you off, they look crazy expensive, but when you find a sale, a free shipping deal, and sometimes even more discounts like friends-and-family, it’s much more reasonable! I hope this helps, let me know if you have any more questions!
I’m so excited that Sealy is going to give one Kelly’s Lucky You reader a new Sealy Next Generation Posturepedic mattress in their choice of firmness and size!! Fill out the form below to enter and good luck! I’m going to go take a nap ;) Ah….

My favorite part is that is is impression resistant
Thanks for the chance, I could really use a new mattress! :)
I think i forgot to answer one of the questions right. But entered others ok. Thanks for such a wonderful competition. Good Luck to everyone who enters.
I love the feel of the sealy mattress, especially the firmness!
I really like the coresupport center, it would be great for my bad back.
The mattresses offer titanium springs for support.
We actually checked one of these out last weekend – SO comfortable. I think the Core Support center is the best feature, but all of the features are great! I would love to win this – our current mattress is definitely worn out!
There is so much info. I really must take into account everything before choosing a mattress. I like the cloud pillow top, it relieves pressure points.
Thanks for the giveaway! I really like the LiftRIght Handles!
I love the rubberized foundation to hold sheets in place!
My husband and I really need a new bed and this would be perfect for us! I love the new core support center and the stay tight foundation. Those are the 2 major problems on our current bed, the sheets wont stay on and the bed is always moving and the middle is all saggy! Oh and the lift right surrond handles would make rotating and moving the bed a whole lot easier!!! Our current bed doesnt have handles and it is so hard to move our bed around!
What I like about the sealy is it gives “you uniform support, while keeping your neck and back better aligned.” I have a bad back and really need this! I bought a imitation memory foam topper and it helps but not as good as the real thing!
I like the sit right edge, so you can sit on the edge of the bed and it keeps its shape.
The Coresupport looks great for the back!

I like that the Embody™ by Sealy®

I like the edge right, as it keeps it’s shape even after sitting on it.
OUr beds have the problem of dipping in the area of our hips.. curious if the Core Support Center could handle us LOL

I really like the Posturepedic© CoreSupportâ„¢ Center feature. It’s nice to know that with this bed you won’t have to buy another one in a couple of years because of it wearing down and hurting your back.
Just (and most importantly) gives a great nights sleep
Provides great support- would be great to win.
Love that the center third of the mattress is power-packed to enhanced support and resist body impressions.

I love everything about this bed.but, iam really impressed by how it helps to give people a better night sleep.I think everyone could use that. I could highlight everything you said about this be but it pretty much speak for itself. I have had the pleasure of sleep on one at a relatives house and whoever wins is the lucky one. sealy never disappoints and always delivers.
I like the SitRight Edge System. Sometimes your not in bed, your on bed.
I like that you can get different levels of firmness with these! I hope I win this, sleeping on a couch gets old!
I really need a new mattress. I want to win this!
Would have to be the most practical,useful,needed prize for a household to win !
I like that the edges are made so you can sit on them without them losing their shape.
My favorite feature is memory foam!
I like that the center third of the mattress has maximum support (where the body’s the heaviest!)

high quality sleeping
a sleep provider for sure
We got a king size bed when we got married 39 years ago and with one thing and another, we have not been able to get a new mattress. It would be so so nice not to have a lumpy bed to sleep on.
The Embody memory foam mattress would be my dream pick. Sealy has many good features quality spring and foam construction being the most important.

After many many years of marriage I had no choice but to separate from husband, I had no way to get a lot of my cloths and belongs I had to borrow a bed from my son and would like to get one of my own and return his
Since I have no income at this time i can’t afford to buy one so hoping to win one and I’m not fussy on what type and all but would love a king size to be able to stretch out and be comfortable
A great feature is the handles to move the mattress easier and also that it is easier to make the bed, the firm edge support so you can sit on bed

Feature I like best is the CoreSupport, which provides additional support where it’s needed most.
Feature “StayTight” that holds the sheets in place (hopefully it means the sheets are still on in the morning without slipping off/undone)

WILL LET ME GET A BETTER SLEEP
It’s been so long since I’ve shopped for a new bed, I’d have no idea what to look for! Doesn’t mean I don’t need one, just that I haven’t shopped for one!
A pain-free night’s sleep. What a concept!
I like the sounds of the CoreCenter thing. Our mattress is in the ‘when I lay down, I roll to the center’ stage. It’s so uncomfortable and I would really love to win this! Thanks!
THey have Titanium Springs! I’m sure last WAY longer.

My favorite feature is that there are different mattress types, the memory foam would be my favorite. With this type of mattress I can finally get some sleep without being poked by springs.

I like this feature best:
The center third of the mattress (the area that holds the heaviest part of your body) is power-packed to maximize support and enhance all your bed-time needs.
This is hugely important. My current mattress does not have this feature and you can certainly tell!
