I want your opinion and advise, especially if you've owned a Select Comfort Sleep Number Bed, for any amount of time.

These beds seem terribly expensive, and all I know is what I've seen on the internet and heard on the radio. But I want to hear from owners who've had experience.

Is it worth it?
Are you satisfied
I'm considering a "demo bed" at a significant savings. Phone number (800) 215-4593 and the sale ends Feb 21, 08, but all sales are final.

What y'alls recomendation on the Select Comfort Sleep Number Bed?
"Compare Bed Mattress Models"

I've also looked at "What's The Best-Mattress.org"

I’ve had one for 7 years and love mine. Tend to sleep more deeply on one than a regular bed, plus you can individually set how firm you want your bed. They are over priced for essentually an airmatress.

I have one and it is very nice. The only bad thing about one that has two air bags in it (so you can have a different setting one each side) is the sag it can have in the middle. It’s not too bad, but I find myself rolling into it sometimes. I would suggest thinning about getting one that has only one air bag.

A pilot my husband flew with had one. He and his wife developed health problems from fumes as it had not adequately been aired out after manufacturing.

Love it, and well worth the price. These beds don’t wear out over time. Mine is just as good 7 years later as the day I bought it.

I also agree with the poster below that it is better with a single chamber mattress. The dual chamber has an annoying divider in the middle. I purchased a dual chamber, but quickly ordered a single chamber mattress to replace it.

Thanks.
I saw several complaints at "Consumer Affairs.com".

I went to the Happy Toe Tent and I’m sorry, but I have to laugh. I remember learning how to make a bed in nursing school, and we had to put a crease in the top sheet at the end of the bed to provide toe room. I think it’s a less expensive option. LOL.

I have been interested in a Tempur-Pedic mattress, anyone got an opinion on these.

[pops88]

I bought an expensive Tempur-Pedic. It was ok, but I still felt the springs. The best mattresses I’ve owned were bought overseas. They were the type without inner springs and designed to sit on top of flexible slats. Otherwise, an air mattress is better, too.

[rose]

Did not know they had springs. My granddaughter bought one from Overstock, does not have springs, and she loves it.

I would not want one with springs, but still have been hesitant about making a commitment.

[HAL9000]

They are expensive, like $7,500 for the California King size. Probably worth it, though.

[pops88]

I checked their web site. I thought that’s what we had, but I see they refer to the “Swedish System” so maybe I’m wrong. I would never buy an inner spring mattress again though.

I was wondering the same thing and a few weeks ago I found a forum that had a majority of posts that said they never could find their comfort number.

One poster said he bought his from a now ex friend who was a sales person for the mattress.

The foam around it was defective on one side which made it slump on that side and the company would not fix or replace it (brand new) they suggested he stuff a piece of foam in the area.

I decided for the price after reading all those negative posts no way for me. JMO

they feel too weird and sinky to roll around on...if you get me drift..(lol)

i prefer a hard mattress with a slight pillow top

have a Sealy Azalea series....very firm with a bit of give/spring

i love it...

mattresses are sorta personal taste

in NYC i had a foam rubber mattress platform bed .......hard....like a Samurai bed

[rose]

I think the one she got at Overstock was 1498.00 or something like that, queen size. Not a bad price, she has had it couple years and still likes it.

just went to sight to check, do not have what she bought now, only show mattress toppers or top mattress. She bought the set, a good name brand set.

[Yosemitest]

I looked at "Epinions.com" and found it very helpful.
Thanks.

[Yosemitest]

I'm looking over "overstock.com" for mattresses and they do have several other choices.

[TexasCajun]

I have the King and I like mine.

My father bought one after hearing me brag about mine.

He didn't like his and went back to standard mattress.

I guess the main thing is to test one and see if the 100 setting is firm enough for your likes if you like firmness.
