The first Radisson Hotel was built in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1909, and was named for the 17th century French explorer Pierre-Esprit Radisson.  & Resorts' "Sleepstakes" contest, a contest to raise awareness of Radisson's desire to have travelers sleep better on the road by exclusively offering the SELECT COMFORT(R) SLEEP NUMBER(R) bed throughout North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. . The contest was held between May 15, 2005, and September 6, 2005.

    "I was skeptical when I was told that I had won this sweepstakes because I have never won anything before," said Mary Gaskill. "I'm excited to see what could possibly be done to make our perfectly ordinary bedroom look extraordinary!"

    Montano will work with the Gaskills to create the perfect sleeping environment, which includes a new Sleep Number(R) bed. Unlike traditional mattresses, which are made from metal coils or springs, the Sleep Number bed uses uniquely designed air chambers to provide a gentle cushion of support that can be easily adjusted to an individual's preference for comfort, firmness and support. Best of all, each side of the Sleep Number bed can be individually adjusted to the precise comfort level each partner prefers.

    The planning and preparation for the Gaskills' bedroom makeover began in December, and the transformation will be revealed in January 2006.

    "This is the perfect time for a makeover," said designer Mark Montano. "New Year, New Look...I'm excited to work with the Gaskills on this exciting project. I think they'll be surprised to see what can be done with a bedroom that they consider so ordinary!"
