Sail Away to a Good Night’s Sleep Contest – WIN A CRUISE!
By Stephanie | June 1, 2008
I am delighted to announce – drum roll, please – that I have teamed up with Protect-A-Bed to bring you the biggest contest yet!
Picture this: you and one other person on an all-expenses-paid three-night, four-day cruise to the balmy and beautiful Caribbean! Yep, airfare is included – from your hometown to Miami – the whole bit!
Great food, live entertainment, a movie theater, dancing, special interest classes, golden sands and glowing sunshine - the cruise experience awaits you.
If you’re sitting there, reading, and thinking, “Protect-A-Who?” – then, I have an introduction to make. Protect-A-Bed, meet you. You, meet Protect-A-Bed, “inventors of the very first ultra thin mattress protector, available in all bed sizes including cribs for babies.”
Quick question – do you:
- Co-sleep with your baby
- Have one or more little ones sleeping in a crib or toddler bed
- EC your baby/toddler
- Have a toddler or older child who is potty training or occasionally wets the bed
- Suffer from allergies or have children that do
- Let your pet(s) sleep with you
- Experience incontinence
- Sleep on a mattress
You don’t have to answer out loud (No worries! Even if you do, I won’t hear you!), but if you said, “yes” to any of those scenarios, you will love Protect-A-Bed mattress covers! They protect your mattress from poop, pee, vomit, apple juice, just about anything – and, by doing so, bring you incredible peace of mind and a better night’s sleep. I know this from experience. You can read my reviews here and here.
Back to the cruise, here’s how to enter:
STEP 1: (you can do just A, B, or C):
A. Purchase a Protect-A-Bed mattress cover from myprotectabed.com. Be sure to use discount code MM01 for 10% off your purchase and to copy/save your order number(s). You will receive 1 entry for every cover that you purchase. You can purchase as many covers as you want/need.
B. Bloggers: Write a unique post about this contest (and link to the Protect-A-Bed website and this post) or write about your experience using Protect-A-Bed products (and link to the Protect-A-Bed website and this post).
C. You may enter the Contest online without making any purchase or writing any blog post by skipping straight to Step 2 below and completing the Contest entry form at http://metropolitanmama.net/contest.
STEP 2:
Fill out the “Sail Away to a Good Night’s Sleep” entry form by clicking on “Contests” at the top of page. Have your order number and/or blog post link ready. You will also need to pick your “referring” blogger – meaning who you heard about the contest from.
All entries must be received between June 1st, 2008 and September 1st, 2008.
The Grand Prize winner will receive an all-expenses-paid trip for two to a three-night, four-day cruise to the Caribbean (including airfare) OR the winner may opt to receive a $1,000 cash prize. See Official Contest Rules here. [NOTE: You will be responsible for obtaining a passport prior to the trip].
Additionally, there will be a weekly winner every week of the promotion and a monthly winner every month of the promotion. The weekly winners (to be drawn on 6/2, 6/9, 6/16, 6/23, 6/30, 7/7, 7/14, 7/21, 7/28, 8/4, 8/11, 8/18, and 8/25) will each receive two Protect-A-Bed pillow protectors. The monthly winners (to be drawn on June 30, July 30, and August 30) will each receive a $200 gift card to Outback Steakhouse. All weekly and monthly winners will also be put “back in the hat” for the grand prize drawing.
Thanks everyone and BEST WISHES…as you set sail to a better night’s sleep (and hopefully to the Caribbean this fall!).
P.S. If you have questions, feel free to e-mail me directly at stephanie@metropolitanmama.net OR leave a comment here and I’ll respond “publicly.”

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a giveaway like this before. I thought it was a big deal to win a vacuum cleaner! Granted, I’ve never won anything big but can’t blame a girl for trying. My husband and I are planning on going on a cruise next year (would be my first!)to celebrate our 15th anniversary. How great would it be if it was FREE?!? :) We also protect our beds – it is a wonderful thing.

I also have never heard of these ingenious mattress covers. Great idea for my kids, myself for very fun medical issues, (lol) and even relatives. Thanks for the info. Oh and by the way, I love Outback steakhouse and I am in dire need of a get-away with my husband, it’s been… hmmm… way too long to count! :)
[Reply]
June 2nd, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Okay, I’m a bit confused by the entry form… you can enter once without having an order number or blog post, right? So would I then enter again if I did write a blog post about it?
Thanks!
[Reply]
June 2nd, 2008 at 4:38 pm
Call me selfish, but I WANT IT ALL!!! Blondie’s almost totally potty trained now (she just kind of did it herself in the last couple weeks) but it would be nice to have the protect a bed covers for when she’s in undies in bed just in case. I love Outback and desperately need a date with the hubs and NO kids (today was a bit disastrous and I could use a break). And I would LO-OVE a cruise!!! I think I just peed a little with excitement. Maybe I need a bed cover, too.

June 2nd, 2008 at 6:40 pm
Hi!
I don’t know if I entered correctly. I chose option C. The problem is I don’t have a website or an order number or a blogpost and the only referring site I have is MetropolitanMama.
Help!

Hi Stephanie! Thanks for stopping by. I love your site. Super informative and tons of fun stuff going on! Another great site to add to my daily reading ; )
[Reply]
June 2nd, 2008 at 7:19 pm
Came here via 5 Minutes For Mom. My children suffer from eczema, so the mattress covers would be GREAT for them…and since we have three little ones, my hubby and I never get out….so the cruise would be WONDERFUl. So, I will be working on my entry this week. Thanks for hosting such a fun giveaway.
[Reply]
June 2nd, 2008 at 7:47 pm
Mmmmmmm, girl. How exciting! I have to get one of those covers. We just bought a new mattress after 9 years! The old one got the brunt of the “baby-years” messes, but I plan on keeping this one just as long! Thanks for posting…Im in!
[Reply]
June 3rd, 2008 at 6:49 am

I already use protect a bed mattress covers. We use them on every bed in our home. Between kids with allergies and a cat who loves to cuddle…we’d be lost without ours.
Thanks so much for this great giveaway. All the prizes are great…but I’m really hoping for outback…I love the blooming onions. lol
Thanks again for this awesome giveaway.

June 3rd, 2008 at 1:09 pm
This would be a great time saver – seems like we are constantly cleaning messes off the mattresses between kids, pets, and babies we babysit for. Great giveaway – I would love to win any of the prizes! Thanks so much!

You have such fun contests, and this one tops them all! I would love to have any of these prizes: My pillows need replacing, and covers for them would keep the new pillows nice longer; My husband would love to have free steaks (OK, I would, too); And who wouldn’t love to be pampered on a cruise? Thanks for using separate entry forms for your giveaway so I don’t have to spread my real name and my email address all across the web any time I leave a comment or enter a giveaway!

what a great product. would be great to protect my bed when little people decide to crawl in with me during the night and have accidents, or to protect the crib mattress as many foster babies sleep on it and each has a way of “leaking’ LOL.

June 4th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
I could use just about anything right about now.

Once we figure out what size bed we will ultimately end up with I will be purchasing a Protect-A-Bed cover, you never know with boys.
I have not been on a cruise and keep hearing how much fun they are. I do know that Outback is very yummy though. The pillow covers would be a good test drive. Are they washable? So many great items… so many chances…too exciting!!
[Reply]
June 6th, 2008 at 11:16 pm
Hi Stephanie…just to be clear…we enter once and then do we enter again if we blog about the contest? I don’t want to disqualify myself for entering on the form twice! Thanks!

My husband and I plan on getting pregnant soon. I finally graduated with my bachelor’s degree and things are steadily moving along. On that note, protect-a-bed cover will be a good purchase or baby shower gift for my family. I am all in favor of co-sleeping with an infant. I’m also all in favor of going on a cruise before getting pregnant and starting a family.

[Reply]
June 10th, 2008 at 9:15 am
Ha, I said yes to a few of them. I will definitely be looking into this product. As for the grand prize, my poor husband has never even been to the ocean and our 10th anniversary is this year. This would be so perfect.
[Reply]
June 10th, 2008 at 12:19 pm
I’m allergic to dust, so their Elite line of mattress covers is something I will definitely be looking into. Outback is delicious, and I always love getting to go out to eat with my husband (doesn’t happen very often). Cruises are the best vacations ever, and with the current gas prices, a free vacation (including airfare!) is just that much sweeter.
[Reply]
June 10th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
Fun times to be able to host a contest! And a cruise or dinner, at that! How do you rate?! I’m new to your sight via Scribbit. I’ll have to do some perusing…I love contests (winning is icing on the cake), but it’s other moms’ voices who give me long-term satisfaction!!

Talk about two birds! My husband and I had a ‘work’ cruise which was nice but full of business meetings a few years ago. Plus, I was pregnant and the rocky boat didn’t add anything to my morning sickness! Also, we need a mattress cover for the baby that was in my belly then, so I am happy to find this post, would love to be entered in this contest, and am on my way to shopping for a new mattress cover. Thank you!
[Reply]
June 11th, 2008 at 11:46 am
I would love to win a cruise, wasn’t able to go on a vacation for the last couple of years. The protect a mattress sounds like something I would be very much interested in having. Thank you.

June 11th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
This is a great contest. We could really use a vacation.
[Reply]
June 11th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
Great idea! I could really use a cruise …
Mattress covers are one of those things you wish for ‘after-the-fact’. It would be great to have one for preventative purposes!
[Reply]
June 11th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
I could definitely use a mattress cover considering that I am allergic to dust! However, I don’t know that I would use it for bed sharing, though I did do this with both of my babies. After reading the info on the babesafe website, I would be more concerned about bed sharing than I used to be. It’s an interesting theory anyway. I did use one of the babesafe mattress covers on the crib for my youngest (didn’t know about it for my older one). For babies out of SIDS range, the Protect-A-Bed covers sound fantastic!
[Reply]
June 11th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
Baby loves to cruise! Count me in!
Matress covers are great. The protect and add years to the mattress.

June 12th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
I have allergies, especially dust mites, and have to launder the sheets and blankets every week. It’s a real problem.
[Reply]
June 13th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
My hubby and I can use the vacation after doing 2 adoptions in a short period of time. We have not been away from the kids in 1 1/2 years since we got them. I am ready!!!
[Reply]
June 13th, 2008 at 9:38 pm
This is a nice prize, and when I went to the website (I thought the name sounded familiar) I realized that I bought one of these two years ago when I got my son’s new mattress! I got the basic full sized protect a bed because you just never know when your kid (even though he’s 15 now) is gonna get sick… The furniture store where I bought his mattress recommended them, and they actually had them in stock. At first I looked at the price, thought the guarantee was too good to be true, but he has had that mattress pad on his bed with no problems whatsoever and his mattress looks the same as the day that I bought it. When I get a new mattress in a couple years, I know I want one for my bed too. (but for allergies, I am sneezing over cat dander and dust mites!) again, super contest, but also a great product highly recommended…

June 14th, 2008 at 9:27 am

I did Co-sleep with your baby and this woudl have been wonderful.
I definitely have a toddler or older child who is potty training or occasionally wets the bed
My family definitely suffers from allergies your pet(s) sleep with you
Yep, we sleep on a mattress!
Yes, we fit the bill! I will definitely check it all out and be hoping I win the trip, but honestly the weekly drawings are amazing too!

I love the ultra-thin mattress protector on my king-size bed. There is such a difference between it and the thick quilted type of mattress pad which bunches up.
[Reply]
June 25th, 2008 at 8:55 am
We could really use a vacation – we could also use covers for our mattresses since our kids are not only potty training, but visit us in bed with their snacks. Any prize would be great!

The protectabed would be great for my husband’s allergies. The Outback Steakhouse gift card would be nice.
But the cruise? For ONLY two? As close to heaven as I can get on earth. Perfect for when my husband comes back from Iraq. Just perfect.

Awesome contest!
We have a protect-a-bed cover on our bed and it has saved us a couple of times from leaky diapers.

June 25th, 2008 at 11:58 am
I would so love this prize. I would go on the trip. Our kids need a vacation away from us as much as we need one away from them. Besides they always get cool prizes them selves when we get home.
[Reply]
June 25th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
I am definitely looking into the product because Ben is getting to the age where he really doesn’t want to wear a diaper at night, but he could end up wetting and my mattress pad just won’t do the trick with that type of volume. :) If it ends up that this will protect the mattress from a large amount of fluid, I’ll be investing in it because we love co-sleeping and I’d really rather pay to wash a mattress pad once a week or so than to have him still in diapers overnight. Thanks for letting us know about it!

Protect-A-Bed®‘s unique Miracle Membrane® – I am really fascinated by this. I have never heard of the products before this. My family has allergies, and we even receive an allergy mail newsletter. Hmmm . . .The product looks good. I would love to try the pillow case. (of course I would enjoy a trip to the carribean – will they have the protect a bed covers on the ship! *giggles* I know – naughty me!)
Thanks for sponsoring the contest.

We could use the protect-a-bed mattress cover since our 6 yr old son still has accidents…especially when it storms. I am going to check that out. Thanks for the info on it.
[Reply]
June 25th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
Oh, the protect-a-bed sounds great. My daughter doesn’t have many accidents anymore, but they still happen occasionally.
And a cruise! Wow. What a generous giveaway.
[Reply]
June 26th, 2008 at 12:14 am
I would love to win any of these prizes! I have been wanting to get pillow protectors for quite awhile, but we’ve been living on a student budget and as you can imagine, we haven’t had much extra money for that kind of splurge. As it goes, my hubby just finished med school and we have a ton of student loans, so $1,000 to help pay that down, or a cruise to celebrate his graduation, or even just a gift card for dinner out would be oh so fabulous! Thanks for the great opportunity!!

Ok with three kids two of them twins we have had our share of pee and throw-up disasters on the bed. I just got new mattresses for the kids and I am so paranoid that they are going to get ruined. I need some of these covers. They soundso much better than what I have found. I will lay in my bed dreaming about a cruise for my birthday coming up on Sept 4th.

The bed you are reviews would have been (or could still be) perfect for us! My 18 mo. is STILL sleeping with us! And, I’m still nursing.
With that all being said, you can see how I would totally benefit from a cruise! LOL I promise to wean her if I win! ;)

Honestly, you no idea how often I have to wash my sons mattress and bedding! I’m always finding little unidentifiable “markings” and “leftovers” – that I myself don’t even want to touch sometimes! He is two years old, and were in the process of Night potty training! And Urgh – as if thats not enough, right?? And drooling…forget about it…He’s a water hose – strait down to the mattress! After seeing this contest it has certainly made me more curious about the Protect-A-Bed mattress covers!

I was ecstatic when I saw a link to this contest. First off, I am a firm believer in protecting your beds. I had a horrible experience with my baby girl breaking out into rashes because our in-laws crib mattress was filthy and covered in I-don’t-know-what! We had to stay there for a few months until our financial situation improved, but almost the entire time I had no idea what was causing the rashes. Finally I decided to get her a new mattress and the rashes went away. I now cover all our mattresses because I’ve got a crazy phobia of “the rash” coming back. I believe in products like this and the fact that you are giving away a cruise would be so incredible for me and my husband. We are working so hard to get on our feet and it has taken a toll on us physically, mentally, and everything in between. A free cruise sounds like the answer to me!

We definitely need a protect a bed mattress cover. We cosleep and our little one spits up and occasionally goes through his diaper. We just had to change the sheets today. We didn’t do anything spectacular this summer so winning a cruise would be great. If possible we’d save it for next summer for our honeymoon. Then again… the cash sounds pretty tempting as we are trying to move.

I would take the cruise even though we could always use the cash. :) My husband and I were students when we got married and never went on a honeymoon. We just thought we would get to it later. Well, 3 kids in a little over 4 years of course of, there hasn’t been an alone time. This would be a good time though, the baby is one and there isn’t another one on the way. What a nice giveaway!

I’ve had bed protectors since I was 13 or so, not for bedwetting but for the great allergy reducing qualities. So when I was pregnant with my first the fear of my water breaking in bed was not on my mind and another great plus was when my son started co-sleeping I never once worried about a blowout. I’m a huge fan of them!

If only I had one of those through my last 12 years of pregnancy and motherhood. I’m right behind you with baby #3 – 9 weeks along. You look like you are 12 years old compared to me, though. My kid is likely to get away with a lot more than its 10 and 12 year old siblings ever did. LOL

I’ll bet the Protect-a-bed could really extend the life of a crib mattress! With 8 children, it seems like we always need a new one! Seems like I always need a vacation as well.

Wow ~ This Protect-a-bed looks like a really great new item. I can think of lots of friends, daughter’s friends etc who might really love receiving this as a gift, so I have earmarked this for sure for upcoming showers & gifts and to pass along to others! Keep up the good work!

I’m not up to a cruise right now, but $1000 or even a trip to Outback would feel like a vacation! Thanks for the chance!

I had 8 kids and still have 7 in the house. Even my oldest still home at 17 can jump on my bed with her juice! Why? Don’t they learn NOT to jump on beds?
I have all ages all the way down to Ella and Jera. THE TWINS! Yes, the twins! They are 2.9 years old and are being potty trained. Jera is doing quite well but let me focus on ELLA. All because of Ella and her unfound love for the white throne (in our case pink throne… and I thought all girls loved pink /;) I will be buying PROTECT-A-BED!@!
I finally thought I was in the clear with my kids getting older but that very last kid in the notch will do it every time. Plus, the investment is still worth it all since I am sure Ella will be like her oldest sister and jump on the bed when she gets to the age of 17!

I definitely would consider buying this product. Mattresses are just too expensive to risk major damage from children. Even though my children do not cosleep, they do come and cuddle in the bed most mornings. I have a cheap plastic cover on my son’s bed, but it “crunches.” Heehee.

What a marvelous and generous giveaway! A cruise is an AMAZING prize!!!
Should I have the marvelous honor of winning the cruise I would surprise my hard working Army man with a kiddo free vacation!
I have an infant and a toddler… the protect-a-beds sound so cool! I’ve never heard of them before, but will be looking into them further!

I wish I had known about these sooner. My son co-slept with me for four years and, at 5, is just now getting into his own bed. I can’t tell you how useful they would have been earlier!! But I may still consider purchasing one for his new double mattress because you never know…

Wonderful giveaway and great product! I wish it was around when my guys (now teens) were little ’cause they had bedwetting issues until they were much older! Now I have friends with 4 little girls under age 5 and this would be wonderful for them!!!

We have a 21 month old, whom we had placed in our home at the end of May. We are hoping to adopt him in early 2009, so this would definitely come in handy for us!!!

I have one little boy in full swing of potty training, enough said?! Plus, I am expecting another little boy and I always wonder as I get in bed at night… I really hope my water doesn’t break during the night and ruin the mattress. This product would be a great relief for that worry.

It’s funny, just today I was wishing for something like this as I was changing my crib sheets for what seems like the hundredth time this week. My 2 year old is like Niagra Falls, and can soggify a diaper completely out within an hour. I don’t understand. You can imagine that the nightime usually leaves me a lovely leaky diaper mess to clean up. And I have a feeling that when I potty train this one (have started), the night training is going to be loooooong. :)

I could have used one of these for my daughter. She is an adult now, but when she was a toddler the only thing she would drink was water and LOTS of it. Being a heavy sleeper, even after she was potty trained she would have an accident every now and then. Allergies are our biggest incentive for mattress protection, does anyone know how well protect a bed works for allergies? No more bed wetters in my house — good allergenice mattress covers are hard to find or afford. Would love to hear more.
Thanks,
Suzy

wow, this is a very impressive contest! So, I think we are supposed to leave a relevant comment..so, how I would use a mattress topper- it would bring great peace of mind because I have a child who occasionally-once-in-a-blue-moon has an accident, since I don’t know when that will be, I have to always have something under the sheet. And, I have one with allergies- again, this would be great peace of mind.

These mattress pads could have saved our mattresses in the co-sleeping and toddler days! Because I don’t enjoy the thought of dust mites, I’m still interested!
