sleep number bed

which model/height do you have? do you like it? was it very expensive? are there any negatives to owning this bed?


whenever i go mattress shopping, i never really feel a difference between them. its kind of like shoes. they're so comfortable in the store then when i get home they start hurting...

my parents got theirs from QVC more than 5 years ago. everything still works and when i still lived at home i loved to play with it! LOL they never had issues and liked how they each could have their own comfort level.

I don't know why, but DH and I tried the sleep number, and I couldn't tell any difference. Mary

We've had ours for 5 (?) years now and love it. I don't remember which model we have -- I think it might be the cheapest one.

I highly recommend going to a Select Comfort store and having the salespeople show you how to find the right number -- even then, you'll probably need to adjust it up or down a little for the first week or so.

When i got it and assembled it i was utterly shocked. Literally it is an air mattress with a 1" padding over it!!! I paid over $1,000 for a full sized. It is a glorified air mattress!!Chat Icon

The # thing is just basically inflating or deflating the matress, very disappointing.

No sorry!!! I know it was a mid-range one. Im pretty sure they are all constructed that way though.

Honestly the "idea" sounds nice, making it softer or firmer, but in reality a person is not going to like a soft bed one night and a hard bed the next. Lets say a person likes a firm mattress they are going to put the bed around 75-80 and leave it, your not gonna be playing with it all night/everynight. I would just go out and buy a normal medium-firm mattress (or whichever you like).

Again... If I went to bed bath and beyond, bought an air mattress and then put a 1" padding over it, you would have the same thing as the Sleep Number Bed!!! BUt it would cost you about $200 instead of $1,000+++. And if you wanted it softer just let some air out!!!

In the end its your decision though.

Our sleep number bed is one of my biggest purchase regrets. It was so expensive and I never really got comfortable in it. It's now in our guest room.
Our guests really love it though... so I'm not sure what I'm missing. lol

Re: sleep number bed

We've had ours about 5 years and are replacing it this spring.

WE HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!

Like another poster pointed out, it's a glorified air mattress. It's sensitive to temperature changes, so when our room gets too warm it deflates more. DH and I have the same number and it causes us to roll into each other. This is for a queen, I know people with Kings say this isn't as big a problem.

It was, however, great when I was pregnant because I could make it rock hard.

The remote chews through batteries too.
