I have been sleeping in ecstasy for the past few weeks. Yes. I have a Sleep Number Bed. Not only do I have a Sleep Number Bed, but I have the new kind with Memory Foam on top. Mmmmmm. It's amazing. In fact, I didn't realize how poorly I was sleeping until I got this bed.

I value sleep. I'm a fitness trainer, fitness enthusiast, mother of two and writer of far too many things. I need to sleep, and I need to sleep well in order to accomplish the ridiculous amount of tasks that fill my days. Are you familiar with this insane style of living? I bet many of you are.

Sleep is such a powerful tool. In fact, it's a requirement for professionals and parents and growing children too. Think of it this way. Exhausted people don't work out. Those running on fumes struggle to achieve the bare minimums of each day and then toss and turn at night, unable to get to sleep quickly. Sleepless people tend to eat poorly and gain weight as a result as well. The bottom line? Quality sleep is a crucial component for vitality, fitness and success.

Enter the Sleep Number Bed. This masterpiece that took 45 minutes to create in my fancy bed frame is the most soft, cuddly and comfortable thing I've ever slept on in my life. On a comfort scale it may only rank second to sleeping in your Mommy's arms at about two months old. It's that good.

Conveniently, my husband and I both take great joy out of the number 40 which is easy to remember. We've also both noticed our backs and necks needing a lot less cracking in the morning. Beyond this, the "crashing" feeling I had been experiencing each afternoon around two o'clock has since disappeared. Am I actually getting enough sleep now? Apparently I am.

Out of all of the products I've ever recommended for healthy living, the Sleep Number Memory Foam Bed by Select Comfort takes the top prize for best investment in your health. If you have a tendency to feel stiff or tired throughout your day, lack of quality sleep may be your issue. This product is a brilliant investment!

** Just an FYI, some friends have asked if the bed is hot. It is not! It's just perfect.
