Getting a great night's sleep thanks to Sealy!

I've partnered with Sealy for this Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Essential Support Pillow giveaway.

How is the back to school transition going for you? A few weeks ago, I posted our tips to help make your transition from summer time to school time seamless, and I'm happy to report that all is going well at our house. My little guy has been back in school for a few weeks now, and although it's a little difficult juggling my his nighttime routine with a new baby in tow, we're doing it and he seems to be thriving in his new classroom.

As Sealy and the UNC School of Medicine found out during their "Back to School, Back to Sleep" survey, one of the top 3 areas of impact that parents think are affecting their child's quality of sleep is the quality of their bed/mattress. That's really no surprise for me since my parents have always told me how important a good, supportive mattress is to your overall well-being. If we're getting the recommended 8 hours of sleep per night (and up to 12 hours per night for toddlers and kids), that means we're spending ⅓ of our lives in bed. Shouldn't we be investing in a durable mattress that gives outstanding back support and added comfort? This is exactly why I'm ecstatic to start sleeping on our new Sealy Posturepedic Premier Hybrid mattress. We were due for a new mattress (did you know you're supposed to get a new mattress every 7 years or so?!), so this is perfect timing for us.

The all-new Premier Hybrid is a hybrid mattress that delivers the best of both worlds - memory foam on top for body-conforming comfort, with specially engineered springs underneath for full-body support. Like every Sealy Posturepedic mattress, the Premier Hybrid is engineered to fully support your back and align your body so you get a great night's sleep; and believe me - with a new baby in the house, I need every single second of great sleep I can get. With this latest release from Sealy Posturepedic – the all-new Premier Hybrid – the brand now offers three series and three unique feels to bring added comfort and all-over support.

Of course, we all know that a supportive mattress is key for a good night's sleep, but another important component is your pillow. I've not had the best luck with pillows in the past. I've purchase down pillows and unfortunately, the feathers eventually always poke through the casing and painfully irritate me all night. I've also bought synthetic filled pillows and it seems the filling always clumps and I'm left with a lumpy, uneven heap. After getting a Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Essential Support Pillow for my little guy, I'm planning on changing my ways.

I wanted my preschooler to start the new school year off right, so we swapped out his pillow with a standard-size Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Essential Support Pillow. My goodness, what a difference! This pillow offers the conforming support only TEMPUR material delivers. It perfectly supportive, aligning your head, neck, and shoulders. This soft pillow is best for back and stomach sleepers, but it's been fantastic for my toddler who sleeps every which way possible.
