Paula Deen Wants To Sell You A Mattress

What do Donald Trump and Paula Deen have in common? They are both selling mattresses through Serta. A new Facebook contest has been launched to promote Paula Deen Home by Serta mattress line. The Spice Up Your Life Contest from Serta and Paula Deen asks Facebook users to share their favorite recipes for home comfort. The grand prize winner will be selected by the Facebook community and wins a a Paula Deen Home by Serta mattress plus a trip to Deen's hometown of Savannah, Georgia. The first prize winner will receive a $500 gift card redeemable on Deen's online store. The mattress collection came out earlier this year and costs between. $799 and $1,499 for queen size.

If it seems a bit far afield for a restaurant owner and Food Network star to be in the mattress business, Deen says" "The collection is all about feeling good, comfortable and getting a good night's sleep in one's home. And just like my food, I send you comfort and love from my home to yours." The contest will be open for entries through September 26. After the contest closes Serta will select three finalists per week and the public will vote for the winners among selected finalists.
