Balance Sheets and Pad from the Sleep Number Store

Well ladies, I finally received my $200 sheets and $300 mattress pad from the Sleep Number store and they claim they are supposed to reduce the heat I feel while sleeping. The thread count and the material (from bamboo) apparently is the best!  Well for that much money, I thought I would be in heaven and no longer feel any warmth from my feather bed whatsoever.  However, I'm still getting a little warm at night so the pad and sheets aren't kicking in hard enough to cool me completely but there is a definite difference.  I ordered the sand color and they are beautiful and fit amazingly well with room to spare, which is never the case with Eastern King beds.  They look very expensive and feel really great!

Sweet dreams!

Feathers Make Me Hot!

Good Morning Ladies,

My bed has a feather topper. I have realized that these feathers are adding to my hot flashes.  They warm me up and that is the last thing I need during menopause.  In the middle of the night, I wake up from being too hot and have to go to a guest bed to cool down.  It's the sheets silly! It took me a little while to figure it out but there is a solution.

The Sleep Number store has these cooling sheets and they help by balancing the temp we need.  I'm sure there are other stores that sell these too so start surfing!

Environmental or not?

Hi Ladies,

OK, we are back from vacation and the hot flashes are back too!  I am convinced that the beach weather is so different than the weather up in northern California that it must contribute to the hot flashes.  I'm going to do some research to see who else feels this way.  Any thoughts?
