I hear a lot of commercials for this...and they say it costs about the same as a quality mattress but lasts 2x as long. I've no problem spending a bit to get a great mattress...if you have one of these please post your rating for it.
You can check their site to calculate what sleep # you might need and it rated me for a soft 25. |

| Do they have a store somewhere near you? I think the best thing to do is go to one of their stores and try the mattress out for yourself first. You can also have them figure out your sleep number there, I have to think having it done live at the store is more accurate than the website calculator. I have one and I really like mine, I sleep better on it than I did on the regular mattress I had before, although my sleep number is pretty low so it could be that if I had just got a softer regular mattress it would have worked just as well. It could also be a good option for you if you like a nice soft mattress and DH likes a nice firm one, then you can both be happy since you can get mattresses with adjustments for each side. I can't comment on how long it lasts since mine's only a couple years old, but I do like that you don't need to flip it all the time like you do with regular mattresses (with a king size bed, that's kind of a chore!) The one I have is the 5000 model--the higher the model I think the less it'll feel like an air mattress so I would recommend probably not getting the cheapest model they have, unfortunately as you get to the nicer models, they're no longer the same price as a regular mattress would be. The only real complaint I have about mine is that it tends to sag a little in the middle, but I think it's because I have the king size one, which is actually two twin size air chambers zipped into one mattress cover, so you probably wouldn't have this issue with queen/full size. Or if you have two people in the bed and everyone stays pretty much on their own side then you may not notice it, I notice it because it's just me (and sometimes the dog) and I don't just stay on the one side when I'm sleeping. |

| Yes they have all the big stores here in San Antonio and I could go in and try one but like the ads say...how can you lay down on something 10 minutes and make your decision about buying something most people keep upwards of 20/30 years? They have a nice guarantee with the Sleep Number that you can try it at home and return it. And there is some air to the bed so I imagine shipping wouldn't be near as horrendous as with traditional beds (?)
I was thinking it might look funny with the comforter laid on top with 2 different settings blowing up each side? Hmmm.
BIG tip from you to upgrade to their nicer models.
I bought a Sealy Posturpedic pillowtop in 2001 and that was a grand on sale. But I only have a queen size as well. Tell me...do you and spouse not toss and turn? |

| Honestly, unless one side is completely deflated (and maybe not even then), you'd never know from looking at the bed that there's a difference between the two sides (especially by the time you pile the comforter on top when you make the bed!) so I wouldn't worry about that. I think my delivery was free--I put it together myself and my old mattress was moving into my guest room; if you want them to assemble it or take the old mattress away then you have to pay extra. Putting it together wasn't too bad, I had a little trouble getting some of the plastic parts in the base to snap together, but the mattress itself was a breeze. If you are planning to get a queen size like you have now, I would see if they have one put together at the store so you can test out whether it sags in the middle or not, like I said that may just be a problem with the king size one since it's basically two smaller mattresses stuck together. It doesn't really bother me that much though, while I'm awake I always start off lying on one side of the bed but by the time I wake up I'm usually somewhere in the middle and that's when I notice the sag, but all I have to do is move back to one side and I don't notice it anymore (no spouse here to share with...it's just me and sometimes the dog!) |

| I looked into these and my big fear was mold. I read many reviews that the air chambers got mold around them and most folks didn't know because once the bed was set up they really didn't have need to remove the top covering. I also read many negatives about air leaks and lack of customer service when problems happened. Many complained that the try and return policy was a nightmare with a huge amount being deducted to have the bed shipped back. Too many bad reviews coupled with high cost put me off them and I ended up with a Sealy Trueform (memory foam) which I love. |

| I don't know if I've ever seen anything in CR about them--but I do know that if it had been in there before I bought mine and they'd said something bad, I wouldn't have bought it. And if it had been in there after I bought it and they said something bad, I would definitely remember it because I would have started regretting my purchase! So if it's been in there in the last couple years, they were either neutral or positive on it.
My thought on the mold is that any mattress can have problems like that if you live in an area of higher humidity, or if you sweat a lot in bed, or if you don't air out the mattress from time to time, just maybe the mold's easier to spot in the Sleep Number because it doesn't have all the inner mattress filling to grow in, so it grows where you can see it instead. I don't think an air mattress would be a better environment for mold than another type of mattress (in fact I would think it would be less friendly to mold because it has less cloth/filling type material for the mold to grow in). |

| It is being exposed to water, through humidity in the air, etc. Pouring buckets of water over it will obviously make the problem much worse, but if you have high humidity especially combined with warm temperatures, that is the conditions that mold likes to grow (and there are always a few mold spores floating around in the air, on surfaces, etc just waiting for the right conditions to come along). I honestly don't know how big a problem mold growth in mattresses is, but my real point was that I don't see how an air filled mattress would be any more susceptible to problems than a regular mattresss. |

that's the spot I copied from epinions. I basically googled "select comfort reviews" and started reading all I could find. As for memory foam,
all mattresses with any type of foam will eventually compact, just as sofa and chair cushions won't last forever, neither will a mattress. I read many places not to buy a pillowtop mattress because that would compact quickly and there's no way to replace just that plush top. That's why it's important to get a mattress with high density foam in it. If you can tolerate latex (I have a severe allergy to it and can't) latex mattresses are good, but can be pricey. Memory foam comes in various qualities and densities too. If you are at all interested in memory foam then check out Healthy Foundations on the web. This site gives lots of good info about these types of mattresses. Best thing is to find a local store that you trust that carries a big variety of mattresses and don't rush yourself when looking. Take your own pillow with you and spend more than ten minutes on any mattress you think you might like. I knew I'd like the memory foam because the hospital where I've had all my back surgeries has Tempurpedic hospital beds and after a few nights on one I wanted to take it home with me when I was discharged! :) I don't recommend surgery to try out a bed though!! LOL! Good luck with your search! |

I think someone mentioned having a King select comfort but that the kings must be sold as 2 twin mattresses? The line where they meet would be most annoying to me. And I was thinking about moving up from a Queen. So I will have to check them out.

| The king is sold as one bed and it has one mattress cover, but has two twin size air chambers inside it. So there's no problem with the two halves of the bed sliding apart or anything like that, but I've found with mine there's sort of a low spot in the middle of the bed where there's a piece of foam stuffed between the two air chambers, and that could definitely be annoying. It bothered me a bit at first, not so much anymore, guess I've gotten used to it. And the rest of the bed is comfortable enough that I never thought about returning it because of that or anything. |

| Sorry, don't really know anything about the sleep number bed, but I bought a 4 inch memory foam to go over my current mattress, and I love it! My sister had one and recommended it to me. It took a night or two to get used to the difference, but now I will never be without one. No back aches in the morning. It was a low cost alternative to replacing the mattress set, and I'm so glad I did it. |

| I love my sleep number bed! I used to wake up stiff and sore, especially in the upper back and shoulders. Now I wake up with no stiffness and my upper back has not bothered me at all.
It did take me about a week to find my sleep number. They reccomended 75 for my weight and height but what actually works for me is 45.
What convinced me to try it was moving. We tossed our old matress into the dump when we moved and slept on an air mattress for a week while we searched for a new bed. I realized I was feeling so much better after the first night that I would have just kept using the old air mattress from camping but it sprang a leak everytime the cat decided to visit and finding and patching pin holes gets old really fast. With the sleep number bed the air bladder is thick rubber and the padding on top keep it safe from the cat.
I love the feel of a memory foam mattress but was afraid it would break down too fast. (I find the pillows have to be replaced frequently) |

| we went and looked at these yesterday - DH has a problem sleeping (snoring, gerd, restless nights, waking up stiff, etc)
Plus an friend of his raved about them, and my mom has had one for 15 yrs... so we felt good about them... but the $5k price tag is a lil unnerving. (500 model precision comfort, split king)
so -- he researched them and found that epinoins site that was listed above... and what HORRIBLE reviews.
So, we've decided to go to a Radisson Hotel, who has them - spend the night and see how he likes it.
He's stomach sleeper, and while testing it at the mall store - he found it uncomfortable... so we shall see if the night at a hotel tests any better - hopefully we can do that in a few weeks.
Granted it's a HUGE price tag -- but i feel totally worth it if he can finally get a goods night sleep.
Question to those who have one -- any air leakage? I think that was a big concern too.
I'm sure i'll have more questions...
any info/tips would be great.
TIA,
Terese

| Terese, I have had mine about 2 years now and no air leakage at all. Once I set it to 45 it has stayed there. The air bladder on these is a lot thicker than an air bed mattress. It is more like an old innertube strength material and because it is encased inside the mattress it should last many a year.

Of course I live in a very low humidity climate, I don't get mold growing in my bathroom tub/shower either so I'd be surprised to find it growing in my bed! |

from what i recall, it's a 3 yr, then after that, it's prorated.
I see mention -- like kyjoy for instance, of folks who have purchased multiple beds... but if they are supposed to last 15-20+ yrs
why do you replace them? bigger and better design, or replace due to parts wearing out?
I'm still awaiting a call back from Radisson to find out which beds they have... I'll have to give them another jingle today.
DH said he was going to be staying in a hotel in Tampa i believe that has them soon -- hopefully he'll love it.

| tcs, I am stepping out on a limb for kyjoy here but I imagine the buying of more beds doesn't mean you expect your to wear out but that you'd like all the beds in your home to use this mattress if you love it so much. 5K does seem a lot but I bought a Sealy Posturpedic Pillowtop, a good mattress, 5 years ago on a sale price of a grand for a Queen. Regular price was almost double that. And 7 years into the mattress is breaking down where my body lays. Still...a comfy mattress but already going to need replacing in about 1-2 years.
I think it's very smart to test them out at the Raddison. I was hoping to do the same with my traveling job but didn't get the chance once I heard Raddison had them as I was expecting a baby and now am a SAHM. You'll have to let us know what your hubby rates it! |

| We bought a sleep number bed over two years ago, since then we have had the problem with the bed sinking in the middle and mold forming on the air chambers, I just called sleep number and they are replacing the chambers, the center foam wall support and the top foam cover FREE OF CHARGE even though our warranty is up! I was also told that the chambers will be treated so as not to get the mold problem again.
Obviously this is a major problem that they are aware of.
Would I buy another Sleep number? I'm afraid not, and I wouldn't recommend it either.
By the way even after the two year warranty is up they do pay a certain amount for repairs (starting at 72%) for each year you keep the bed. |

| I can't think of the mattress I sleep on but it is high end because my neck and back are waaaay too important to me to not sleep on a very good bed. But I have never heard of anyone considering a mattress to last more than 10 years at the very most...no matter if you bought the top of the line. Did you know that pillows should be bought about every 6 months...
If I didn't have the one I do I would buy the temperapeutic (sp??) one...not the false advertising of memory foam...my adult kids sleep on these and i love them. I sleep on a good temperapeutic pillow.
But the best buy for the buck when it is just a guest bedroom and rarely gets slept on is the one from Sam's...yes, indeed...they are only 600.00 for a queen and they give a restful night's sleep to company... |

| DISCLAIMER:
I do not normally feel the need to blatantly denounce a product - in fact, I cannot think of a single time that I have before - but a mattress is too expensive of an investment to have such a horrible experience and I want to warn as many people as I can.
The Sleep Number bed is not only the worst investment I have ever made but it has also been the worst customer service experience of my life. DO NOT BUY THIS BED unless you have tried out the EXACT model you are planning to buy and have actually slept on it for 2-3 nights successfully.
I had slept on a single chamber one and it seemed like such a great idea to get the dual chamber one for me and my husband. Well, turns out that what they do not tell you anywhere on the website is that it sags in the middle due to the fact that the air chambers are higher than the foam they provide for the middle.
Then, when I called MANY times to try to solve the problem (which we have now moved into our guest bed because my back is in such horrible shape from this bed!) they continued to trouble shoot when all I wanted was either a new SINGLE chamber bed or a refund. And the people on the phone have no concept of the idea that the customer is always right. I work in marketing and there is no excuse for the way this company handles itself... they are nice enough but what they are saying underneath it all is that they have your money and would prefer if you would just go away. So I am on my last "troubleshooting effort" that they "feel confident will solve all my problems (yeah, I have heard that one before from them - many times!) and then I will move on to Craig's List to dump this thing and start over with a real mattress.
BOTTOM LINE: DO NOT BUY THE DUAL CHAMBER SLEEP NUMBER BED - YOU WILL REGRET IT.

| I have two of these beds and love them both. Mine are single chamber beds though. The outer walls of the mattresses are foam and over time the foam does break down a bit. I have not found it to be a problem with the beds performance but notice it when I sit on the edge of the bed because it is softer and less rigid than when new..
On a dual chambered bed there is a piece of this foam wall down the center to seperate the two chambers. just like the outer edges break down the center barrier will soften. This should in no way effect the use of the seperate chambers adjustibility and in fact would make snuggling easier on a cold night.
As for the mold issue. After 3 years I have not seen any mold at all. ( and I have unzipped the cover several times to check for it.) Since I do battle mold around windows from humidity, I am assuming that if there were going to be a problem with this bed and mold then it is also a problem for people in most areas of their home.
I am guessing that the post by mhundle was made as the result of a web search for information on the sleep number bed and that he/she was experiencing some frustration that illicited the need to sign up just to make a single post about a product they are unhappy with. So just as I hope you consider my positive opinion of the bed, I hope you consider their negative opinion and weigh them before making your own decision.
I just know that both my DH and I were suffering extreme back aches upon arising in the mornings with our old traditional mattresses even though we spent a great deal of money to get good ones and now we both wake up fresh without the back pain on the sleep number beds.

| Tir,
gotta tell ya... when i started posting on this thread last March, DH and I were seriously considering purchasing one.
My mom has had hers for 15+ yrs and just loves it. We "took one for a test ride" at the local mall, and BOY was it comfortable... the Dh started researching it and found all these horror stories.
Granted, with just about every product you will get good and bad reviews ... but that return policy is one thing that was steering us away. I mean, if they give you such a hard time when you want to return -- what kind of customer service is that?? and for what you spend on it...
but about a week after we thought of getting it, Dh starting having bouts of vertigo and he's been on medical leave from work ever since ... so we just dont have the cash to play with like we did before.
I think if I were to get away from the 'regular' mattresses, i'd look at that posturepedic one ... air can't leak out of that one ... not sure about mold though. but again, we are not in the market anymore.
>>never even would have considered a mold issue
thinking about my mother's ... she lives in AZ where i do not believe there would be mold problems. |

| Does anyone happen to know whether you can use a non-Select Comfort matress on one of their ajustable foundations? The adjustable foundation is non-refundable, and if I'm forced to eat a few hundred dollars on a matress, I don't want to be stuck with a $3K adjustable foundation. |

| It's just a flat platform, it would work just like a platform bed so I don't see any reason why you couldn't put another mattress on top of it. I'm not sure if the platform beds are as comfortable as mattresses with box springs underneath though, so that's the only negative I see. |

| Once again, I'm late to the party!! We've had a Select Comfort bed for about 10 yrs now. I LOVE it! No air leakage here. First time tt was taken apart was when we moved to TN in '03 and taken apart once again in late '04 when we moved back home. Stored until May of '05, then brought here and set up. No mold whatsoever. We also have never had a problem with the sides breaking down. Ours has a pillow top and it also has memory foam inside the zip top. My side is typically on 40, but when I have a backache from too much yard work or working on this house, I raise it to 45. My husbands # is 60. Only problem I've found is with getting comforters to be long enough, or finding sheets deep enough. Ours is a dual chamber queen and even with a king comforter, it's not long enough. So I have a quilt folded and hanging over the end. Works for us! Any bed I sleep in other than ours, gives me such a backache. I'm also a tummy sleeper. Can't fall asleep unless I'm on my tummy. |

| Tir, pregnant twice, but couldn't nurse due to medication I take. I have no idea on the model as it was so long ago. I don't see one like ours doing a search on their website. Ours has the memory foam right under the zip on pillow top. I'm wondering if the model number is somewhere on the bed? I can look, but I can't do it tonight as I'm not feeling well. |

| Sorry to hear that. I WISH I could just lay in bed and take care of "Mom" for awhile. But toddlers tend not to like that. ;) |

| You must have heard many times about king size mattress; however are you aware of the facts about it.
Let me share…
King size mattresses serve the purpose of couples who are looking for optimum personal sleeping space and maximum comfort. About 18 inches wider than a queen bed, a king size mattress offers a lots of benefits:
• A king size mattress is the largest mattress of all; it’s a good option for those who are tall. Its thickness makes you comfortable regardless of bed frame.
• The king size mattress is durable. The thickness of the mattress makes it long lasting.
• A king size mattress is made with four main styles of support. These are inner springs, air chambers, foam and water.
• A regular king size mattress is made with different dimensions in different places. In the United States and Canada, a king size mattress measures 76 inches wide by 80 inches long.
• In UK, a standard king size mattress is 60 inches wide and 78 inches long.
• In Asia and the rest of the world, a standard king size mattress is 72 X 78 inches.
Choose either a firm mattress or a soft padded king size mattress with some additional surface padding and unique coils from a variety of furniture stores in UK. Providing the right support and comfort, king size mattresses are a good investment for your good night’s sleep, health, and of course great for your interior designs.

| I think they are great but i can't afford one yet, but if a complept hotel chain replaces all of their regular bedding with them, that says a lot. |
