COEUR d'ALENE - It'll be a year of hard nights' sleep.

Not the "endless ergonomic ways to relax" Tempur-Pedic beds offers.

Ricky Vaughn Barry, 60, of Hamilton, Mont., formerly of Coeur d'Alene, was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Coeur d'Alene this week to one year and one day in federal prison for illegally impersonating his ex-wife to open a line of credit and buy a bed and bedding.

U.S. District Judge Edward J. Lodge fined Barry $1,000 and ordered that he be on supervised release for three years following his prison term, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Barry paid $7,700 in restitution prior to the sentencing hearing, as required in a plea agreement with the federal government.

That plea agreement said that in May 2008, Barry opened a line of credit in his ex-wife's name and ordered a Tempur-Pedic bed and sheets.

Opening the Tempur-Pedic account number in his ex-wife's name is considered an "unauthorized use of an access device," the authorities said.

Tempur-Pedic recorded telephone calls Barry made on May 30 and July 3, 2008. In those calls, Barry pretended to be his ex-wife when speaking to company representatives and placing the order.

Because the bed and sheets traveled in interstate commerce when they were shipped from Utah, Barry was charged federally.

Barry signed the delivery documents with his ex-wife's name at the time the merchandise was delivered.

The bed and sheets were later seized by federal agents when Barry's residence was searched pursuant to a federal search warrant.

The case was investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
