There’s nothing sweeter than the sight of a napping baby or toddler. My two were champion sleepers. I have photos to prove it!

And let’s not underestimate the value of a nap for us grown-ups. A weekend afternoon power nap is one of the finest things on earth. Did you know that there’s even a national holiday all about napping? It’s time to celebrate the gift of sweet slumber….it’s National Napping Day 2010!

To help celebrate, Protect-a-Bed, manufacturer of premium mattress protectors, crib protectors, and pillow protectors, is sponsoring a super contest!

Here’s a brief snippet about Protect-a-Bed’s exceptional line of products:

Protect-A-Bed offers consumers a complete line of protective bedding products to create a Healthy Sleep Zone. The unique technology featured in Protect-A-Bed’s mattress and pillow protectors was developed in South Africa in 1980 before the company was officially established in the United States in 2000. Now selling in 27 countries, Protect-A-Bed is a worldwide leader in mattress protection innovation. The company developed the proprietary Miracle Membrane® and patented Bug Lock® and Secure Seal®, which help create a dry, bed bug free, anti-allergy sleep zone for people of all ages. Protect-A-Bed products are listed as a Class 1 Medical Device with the Food and Drug Administration and have received the Good Housekeeping Seal.

Napping improves memory function, elevates work production, and boosts overall health. With Protect-a-Bed’s line of products, you can nap serenely, both body and mind, knowing that dust mites and allergens, as well as damage from liquids or stains, are no longer a concern.

So — about that contest!

Today only, March 15th, Protect-a-Bed is giving away sets of their Premium Pillow Protectors. All you have to do to participate is follow Protect-a-Bed on Twitter (@Protect_A_Bed) and share the funniest place you’ve ever taken a nap! (**Be sure to use the hashtag #nappingday in your tweet when sharing your funniest/strangest napping location.)

THAT’S NOT ALL!

premium matress ccHere on Muse Reviews, courtesy of Protect-a-Bed, I’m also giving away one Queen Size Protect-A-Bed Premium Mattress Cover — a $79.99 value — to one of my readers!

(The Protect-a-Bed Premium Mattress Protector includes a 10-year warranty, and withstands a minimum of 200 washings and dryings. It is waterproof while remaining vapor porous, just like human skin. There is no plastic-y feel or sound with this mattress protector! A terrycloth top layer makes this one of the softest mattress protectors you can buy.)
