Last week, I launched a headline contest with Serta to win a brand new queen-sized iComfort mattress with their adjustable foundation. I got quite a few responses because— what parent doesn’t want to make the most of their few precious hours of sleep?
To win, you must write the best headline for Serta’s new “ad campaign” which is about how the iComfort Sleep System is sooooo comfortable, you’ll be comfortable with just about anything.
Particularly anything that lets you stay in bed for a few more minutes. Or a few more hours, depending on how neglectful of your children you’d like to be.
Here are my 24 favorite headlines so far:
The contest is not over yet! I’ll be posting my 10 favorite headlines next week and putting them to a vote, so you have until October 22nd.
To enter, leave a headline in the comments below following the same structure:
“_________________? SURE. I’M COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.”
You must like both Mommy Shorts and Serta Mattress on Facebook to win.
The grand prize winner will get an iComfort Savant EverFeel Queen mattress set (with the winner’s choice of plush or cushion firm) plus a Serta Motion Perfect II adjustable foundation. The approximate retail value for both is $3500.
Three second place winners will receive two iComfort pillows plus a Queen or King size Serta Luxury Fleece blanket.
You can read the full rules here.
The Serta iComfort mattress features Serta’s latest dual-action gel memory foam technology, which gives much more support and cooling comfort than memory foam mattresses of the past. Serta offers eight new models with this technology, ranging from extra-firm to luxuriously plush, so every type of sleeper can find their perfect match.
The Serta adjustable foundation was built because people do much more in their bed these days beyond sleeping. They check email, watch TV and work on their laptops. In addition to lumbar support, 90-degree head tilt support and massage options, the Serta adjustable foundation has a wireless motion-sensitive backlit remote, Bluetooth Connectivity, a wireless speaker system, USB power ports and convenient lighting.
In other words, if you didn’t have children, you REALLY would never have to get out of bed.
To select your perfect mattress, you can check out the mattress selector on the Serta website or download Serta’s mobile shopping app which allows people to browse mattress types, take a quiz to determine which mattress is right for them, and easily locate a nearby retailer.

I drop a leave a response when I especially enjoy a post on a website or I have something to add to the discussion. Usually it’s caused by the passion displayed in the article I browsed. And after this article %BLOG_TITLE%. I was moved enough to post a thought 😉 I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it’s allright. Could it be only me or do a few of the comments look like they are left by brain dead individuals? 😛 And, if you are writing on additional places, I’d like to keep up with anything new you have to post. Could you make a list all of your public pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
You want to skip preschool, eat everything in the cupboards, pour flour all over the house, pop a beanbag chair, and paint the walls with nail polish? I am ok with that.
