Investing In Our Sleep

Wednesday, June 20, 2012

So we made a big decision the other day. Bob had heard a commercial on the radio about a mattress sale going on in Wichita were you could get 3 years of 0% interest.

We had recently been talking about our mattress situation. Bob doesn't sleep good and i have been complaining for over a month now about how mad i sleep and how my arms and back hurt in the mornings. We rarely get restful sleep in less we stay up to late and crash. I also toss and turn all night and wake up countless times in pain.

So we did some figures and decided what me might be able to afford to pay and then we headed up there to see if we could get anything good.

I think it was a year ago (if not longer) when me and Bob where talking about beds, we had decided that when we went to go buy a bed, we would try not to skimp as much as possible.

So we went and tried a tempurpedic bed. Boy were they nice! But we had several people tell us that Sleep Number was better so we decided to go try them out before we chose anything.
For our price range the Sleep Number sucked! It was basically an air mattress. Now i'm sure that if you could afford the nicer sleep numbers that it might be really nice... i don't know but the one in our range (that was still more then the tempurpedic) only had 1in of padding and the rest was the air mattress.... so not impressed.

So we talked it out and decided to go back and go with the tempurpedic beds. Which i am so excited about! We went with the split king ergo adjustable base:


We didn't like the more expensive base with massage and wireless controls... it was unneeded for us so we went with the regular one which had a 20yr warranty on it.


Nice thing was we were able to get different mattress for each of us. I went with soft and bob went with medium. Our beds have a 10yr warranty and 1yr comfort guaranty which means if we aren't comfortable and we want to switch out our bed for something else, we can. The sleep number bed only had a 30day sleep guaranty.


And we picked out some amazing pillows to go with the beds. The bed will be delivered for free sometime in a week he thought (they had to get the beds shipped to them).
All with 3yr 0% interest and our monthly payments are about $100.


We made sure there was no early pay off penalty because we play on paying it off quicker then that.


I'm so excited especially after just having another terrible night of sleep on our old bed. So now we can use our old bed for another guest bed, that will be so nice!


And on top of that we are thinking about having another baby soon. After we bought the beds Bob was like 'no recliner for you'. See when i am pregnant i end up spending about half of the pregnancy sleeping on the couch or the recliner because i am in so much pain at night.... had terrible back issues with the both girls. So now with the ergo bed i should be able to stay up in bed with him. So nice cause i hate sleeping apart from him!


And then because we were going to need sheets obviously (and i wasn't going to spend $150-$200 on sheets at the bed store) i hopped online i went searching for some. I found 1500 Thread count Split King Egyptian Quality Bed sheet set on Amazon for $39.49ea with free shipping (normally $120ea) and got these:




Now it needs to hurry and get here!
