If I told you that my bed was now high-tech, would you believe me? I would think that you would as there are all sorts of devices and electric beds that adjust firmness or contour. But what if I told you that the technology doesn’t require any electricity or batteries. You might be a bit more intrigued, wouldn’t you. So let’s get down to some basic issues that I personally have encountered while sleeping and then I will go into the Sleep Number solution that is making my sleep a bit more pleasant. For starters, I sleep hot. Yes, that’s right, I am one of those sweaters at night. My internal furnace has always been a bit high and I frequently wake up in the morning with a sweaty pillow and sheets.
Ewww, gross you say? Tell me about it! The problem is, my wife gets cold when she sleeps. So we pile on the blankets in the winter and still even have a heavy down comforter in the summer. So I spend many nights either sweating or with my leg hanging out of the bed attempting to get cooler or with a fan blowing across just me when I sleep. Yeah, I have no trouble sleeping but it’s the fact that I need to wash my sheets a bit too frequently that is a bit of a pain. Too much information? Sorry, but this is a pretty common situation out there – overheating in bed.
So, where does Sleep Number come into this equation? Pretty simple actually, they have some “high-tech” bedding solutions that can help to regulate the temperature of your bed in order to provide you with a better sleep. For the past week, I have been testing out two products, the Sleep Number In Balance Mattress Pad and the Sleep Number In Balance Classic Pillow Protector, both of which provide the same technology to keep you cooler at night. Both products claim to do two things:
- Minimize temperature swings while you sleep
- Absorb Excess heat
