My husband and I have a Serta mattress that we just love- so comfy. In fact, it’s only a double size mattress and we’d love to upgrade to a queen, but we like this particular mattress so much that we don’t want to give it up.
And since Serta keeps delivering extra comfy mattresses like ours to customers, the Counting Sheep have not been able to find work. (You’ve seen the Counting Sheep commercials, right?) In order to get those sheep making money again, Serta is asking their customers to help come up with some job ideas. They are so serious about this job search, they have gotten Donald Trump involved! Serta and Donald Trump are now partnering for the Counting Sheep for Hire Contest and they want you to play a part.
So first let me tell you about the Counting Sheep for Hire Contest, then we’ll get to the Serta giveaway right here on Mrs. Moneysaver!
Counting Sheep for Hire Contest
In order to enter, you must visit Serta’s Facebook fan page, check out the contest tab and then write a letter of recommendation to Donald Trump with your idea on the perfect job for the sheep (100 words or less). So get your thinking caps on!

I entered the Counting Sheep contest through facebook. I recommended the Sheep spread good will on Trump’s behalf by visiting the St. Jude’s Children Hospital.

I entered the Serta Contest. I suggested their new job should be counting how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.

I entered on facebook. I thought they should strap trays to their backs and let them serve in the casinos. I’m not very creative!
I like you :-)

I entered the contest for Serta. I suggested they make up beds, given how nice it makes the bedroom look and how I despise making up the bed daily… I’m not very creative :) Thank you for the giveaway!

Dear Mr. Trump,
I will be sad to see my sheep go. I don’t need them to help me sleep now that I have my great Serta matress, however their body warmth at the foot of the bed sure kept my feet nice and toasty! You will be getting a great group of workers. I would highly recommend them for your sales department. They are the cream of the crop salespeople and could pull the wool over anyone’s eyes. Don’t be like the Little Boy who cried wolf, give my great sheep a chance!
Sincerely,
Cold Footed Gal

Here’s my entry for the contest.
Dear Mr Trump,
I am writing to you on behalf of the Serta Sheep. I believe that they would make excellent knitters, given their ability to count, general dexterity (pretty good for a sheep) and their ready access to a plentiful supply of raw materials. Trump industries could benefit from a line of unique fashions, especially since knitwear is on all the runways this year.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Dear Mr. Trump,
The Counting Sheep would love to work for you. Excellent at putting people to sleep, works well for long board meetings. Also, they are easy on the eyes and would help sales!

I NEED, NEED a mattress so badly! I wish I had learned of this contest sooner, because I didn’t find @MrsMoneySaver on Twitter until 3 a.m. Saturday, August 14th.
Also, I think I have a (*)GREAT IDEA as a new job for the Serta mattress “Counting Sheep.” And since we are in back-to-school mode, this idea would fit right in:
(*)They still work as “Counting Sheep,” but in a different setting…a classroom! They would be used to teach math, especially in the lower grades. Since each sheep has a number on his/her side, they would be used as “movable math problems” right in front of the classroom! And the math signs such as +, -, = would be displayed on some BRAND NEW SHEEP introduced specifically for the benefit of education. Or through the magic of TV and technology, the math signs would appear in the empty spaces between the sheep. (*Retaining idea exclusivity. Idea is not to be used, in whole or in part, without my express written permission. Pamela J. Bartley – 08/14/2010
I love your serta mattresses had a big fire lost everything. I cannot afford to buy any more things for a house but when I do I will buy more serta mattresses from serta just loved my set. Let me know when you are running a big big sale. I have told so many people about serta mattresses a lot of my friends have bought them.
