What do the competition winners get? 

• A tailored sleep zone. Drawing on knowledge from the IKEA Complete Sleep Studio, an IKEA co-worker will spend time with winners to get a deep understanding of their sleep style. The winners will then enjoy a perfectly curated sleep zone including a comfy mattress, their choice of linen, the perfect pillow and sensory elements all personalised to their unique sleep needs.

• A menu of activities to entertain soothe and relax. Drawing on the IKEA understanding of how we live at home, winners will enjoy a pre-sleep massage, relaxation techniques, movie time, bed time snacks and guidance from a sleep expert.

• Dining designed for sleep. A delicious dinner and the perfect start to the day with an IKEA breakfast served in bed.

• A complete bedroom solution to take home  

‘While this experience is only open to a select group of lucky IKEA fans, ultimately, we want to inspire the many Australians to create their own healthy sleep environment in their homes, helping them feel refreshed and recharged to get ready for life,’ he added.

As well as experiencing a personally curated sleep experience in-store, all winners will get to take home their ‘complete bedroom solution’ that their sleep expert has recommended to them. 

The sleepover is open to couples of two and families of four and eligible participants will have to visit a participating IKEA store to fill out an application. 

To enter the Wake Up with IKEA competition fans must visit their closest participating store on 23 or 24 February 2019 and tell them in 25 words or less why they ‘want a better night sleep with IKEA’.
