OK, so choosing a winner for this Tempur-Pedic giveaway was kind of tough! So many amazing entries, so many compelling stories and understandable reasons ya’ll need a Tempur-Pedic. Wish I could give a bed to everyone who entered, because you all deserve a good night’s sleep. But, alas, I could only pick one. And I had to pick the winner based in part on creativity and originality too, so while you are all deserving, I think you are going to enjoy the winning entry from “Anne!”

Let’s all sing along with the winning entry, shall we?

Loosely to the tune of MJ’s “Beat It”:

I try to sleep but I don’t know if I can
I toss and turn all night – I’m tired, man!
The fire in my back
Makes it hard to hit the sack
Need a ‘Pedic
(Tempur–Pedic)

What would I do if I could just sleep at night?
A rested body would be outta sight!
This baby in my womb
Would benefit so soon
From a ‘Pedic

Oh – how much we could use a
‘Pediiiic (‘Pediiiic), ‘Pediiiic (‘Pediiiic)
We would love a Tempur-Pedic!
Waking up fresh and
Feeling alright
No more stiff neck or
Leg cramps at night
With a ‘Pedic

A good night’s sleep would help me get up at dawn –
Which means my boy will have a better mom!
More able to rise
For the feedings and the cries
With a ‘Pedic

Without a doubt, a bad night of sleep
Affects my pregnancy (I often weep!)
Need energy to be
A supermom indeed
Need a ‘Pedic

Oh – how much we could use a
‘Pediiiic (‘Pediiiic), ‘Pediiiic (‘Pediiiic)
We would love a Tempur-Pedic!
Pregnancy’s crazy – more so when I
Can’t sleep at night, so
It’s time to try Tempur-Pedic. ☺

So how awesome was that?

I can’t get the song out of my head now. Thanks Anne. But seriously, Anne, congratuations! You just might have a career in song writing. Or maybe Tempur-Pedic will want to put you in a commercial, ya never know.

Note to Anne: make sure you reply to the email from the ePrize company in order to confirm your winning entry! If you do not respond in time, we’ll have move on to another winner.

Congratulations and thank you to everyone who entered.
You all ROCK.

Oh, and in case you are wondering about the photo, the bedding picture was snapped on my cell phone at Anthropologie.
