Unlike other creatures, Minnesotans don't hibernate during the harsh winter months. While they don't sleep the months away, they do require an extra hardy dose of energy (oftentimes found in a blissful night of sound sleep) to brave the adverse conditions presented on a daily basis. Maybe this is why Select Comfort was founded in Minneapolis. While the company had a humble Midwest beginning, it now boasts net sales of $558 million annually, and has 32 U.S.-issued or pending patents. Sleep Number beds are innovative in the sense that they enable couples with very different needs to find a middle ground, without requesting either partner to compromise. Their strategy of making beds that work for each individual can be seen in their commercials that feature two sleeping partners with different needs (a husband and wife, a man and a dog, you get the idea). They also offer several different Sleep Number models to suit a variety of lifestyles and budgets. Select Comfort currently has five different traditional Sleep Number beds, with a variety of pillow top thickness and sizes (including standard Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, Expanded Queen, King, California King and Grand King). If your needs are a little more specialized, Select Comfort also has beds that can fit in an RV, or that can adjust at the head and feet (tilt adjust), they also make a sofa bed mattress for those of you who want your house guests to experience only the best. True, these dreamy concoctions are a bit more spendy than traditional spring mattresses, but isn't a good night's sleep worth it? A lot of people think so. Select Comfort stores keep popping up, offering sweet dreams and peaceful mornings to all who dare enter. In addition to the peace of mind you'll find from a good nights sleep, you might also rest better knowing that Sleep Number beds are the official beds of Ronald McDonald Houses nationwide. Select Comfort offers a much-needed rest to weary families by donating more than 3,000 beds to 150 Ronald McDonald Houses since 2001.
