Staying cool this Summer with the In Balance Blanket from Select Comfort! *Giveaway CLOSED*

28_1

We live in a 1900 home. Our only assumption about our house is that our upstairs used to be an attic that some previous owners converted in to 3 small bedrooms. It’s that, or the house is so old that there never was air conditioning up there. With this said, we have no air conditioning upstairs. We sleep with the doors open so the window unit upstairs can get air to the kids’ rooms.

26_INBALANCEBL_24_3With this said, I had a chance to try out a Select Comfort blanket called ‘In Balance’. Love. I am in love! I can totally see our electric bill decreasing because we are staying cooler upstairs with the In Balance blanket.

Breakthrough temperature balancing technology allows you to sleep more soundly, with less temperature swings. Outlast® Adaptive Comfort®* material is designed to balance the temperature swings that can cause restless nights—to help you sleep more comfortably each and every night. Filled with hypoallergenic down alternative over a layer of Outlast® Adaptive Comfort® Viscose material. 300-thread-count 100% cotton sateen cover with 4-inch box construction eliminates shifting of fill. Finished with a 3-inch satin binding on all four sides. Logic™ Label system takes the guesswork out of where to start making your bed.

*Outlast® and Adaptive Comfort® are trademarks of Outlast Technologies, Inc.
Care: Machine wash in a front loading washer in cold water with mild detergent. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat until completely dry.

Origin: Made in China of domestic and imported materials

I love that I can lay ON the In Balance Blanket or cover up with it and still stay cool. What? Stay cool with a blanket? You can also keep warm with the In Balance blanket as well. I hate to say this, but I am excited for fall and winter to get here so I can try out the In Balance Blanket out in the cold temperatures.

I love the look of the In Balance Blanket. I love the feel of the In Balance Blanket. I think the price of the In Balance Blanket is very nice being that my energy bill will decrease because I am staying cool!

    I’m a 3rd shifter, so I don’t want any light coming in my room. Unfortunately, that can make my room an oven during the summer! This blanket would help stop the cold-hot transition that seems to be a nightly occurence.

  27. 574

    I’d also really love to try the balance sheet set. Although it’s hard to choose because there are so many great products.

  28. 573

    I would so love to win this. Thanks so much for this great giveaway.

  32. 569
    Susanna P says:

    I like a cool room temperature when I sleep. In the summer, I usually begin the night by covering w/ only a sheet, but at some point in the night I awaken chilled & pull the comforter on. Sleeping in presents a reverse situation, once the sun’s rays come through my bedroom’s east window, it begins to heat up and so do I. The In Balance blanket might just be the answer to my dilemma.

    Geoff K says:

    This blanket would be a huge money saver, which is something I need for my household right now – my energy costs have been through the roof, both in summer and winter, and I’ve wasted money in the past on different blankets for the two seasons, so I’d love the chance to win this – thanks!

I haven’t had a full uninterrupted night’s sleep in… years. I’d love to win this and see if it really does all they say!

    This blanket could help me by stabilizing the temperature in my bed. Sleeping with 4 dogs and a husband, I am always way too hot (or have been robbed of all covers and am freezing), unfortunately this blanket won’t be able to help with that. Thanks again for the contest.

    I also like the “In Balance Sheet Set Pillowcases”. Based on the information provided, the sheets will also help to regulate my body temperatue.

    This blanket would help me because my temperature seems to always go up and down. One minute I am hot and the next I am freezing. According to the website: “Breakthrough temperature balancing technology allows you to sleep more soundly, with less temperature swings. Outlast® Adaptive Comfort®* material is designed to balance the temperature swings that can cause restless nights—to help you sleep more comfortably each and every night.” This would be PERFECT for me!!!

    I would also LOVE to have the sleep number bed! It is so difficult sharing the bed with someone with completely different preferences. Neither one of us is every totally comfortable.

    I would love to win this. Allergies and an over run airconditioner have made sleeping this summer very difficult.

    The Grand King Bed also caught my eye. This could help on nights when it is storming or one of my girls has a bad dream. Thanks again

    I would also love the In Balance Sheets. I would need to purchase them if I got the blanket.

    I would love this blanket for so many reasons. I get cold while my guy wants a fan on in the middle of winter. Some nights I get hot when my children climb in bed with us. This would be MUCH appreciated in my home. Thanks for the chance.

    The Balance Blanket can help me because I just found out last week not only do I have CFS & Fibromyalgia & Lyme but that my Seratonin is depleted thus making it hard to sleep. I also suffer from night sweats, not sure if that is all the viruses in my body or the start of menopause, but whatever it is this would be a great blanket to have. Thanks!
