Sleep Number bed worth it?

[arinsd]

Me and the wife have been toying with the idea of a sleep number bed. I was wondering if any TRFers have one and how they like it.

Thanks.

[Dr. Prunesquallor]

We have one. Works well for us. I did have one of the pumps blow a leak, but SN replaced it free of charge.

I have often thought about one of those types of beds.
One thing I have always wondered is can you feel the partition down the centre of the bed which allows each side to move independent to one another? Unless it was done in such a way as to be almost unnoticeable my wife would not go for it.

Well since I don't have a sleep # I have never had to rely upon sleep # to repair a blown leak. Sorry, I for some reason, am anti sleep #

Can anyone compare this to a temperpedic mattress. I have temperpedic now but it seems to sag down after 3 years.

Do NOT go to the sleep number mattress. I am usually an optimistic person. I swear I would rather pull my own teeth with a rusty set of fish hooks than ever try a sleep number bed again.

But how do you really feel about it?

Slept on the Sleep Number bed for a couple of nights at a Sheraton. Didn't like it at all. Felt like the electric pump inflatable mattress I bought for my kid's room for when he had a friend sleep over. YMMV, but I'd never own one. Give me a good high quality pillow top any day over and SN mattress.

^^^ perhaps the best description...$2800 SN bed = a $75.00 Aerobed!

But honestly, how do you really feel about sleep number? You don't have to hold back here. :-)

I have a foam bed made by Brooklyn Bedding. Did a ton of research and found their foam was very high quality (alleged to be superior to even that of the Tempurpedic) at about 40% of the cost. I did have a firm Tempurpedic which we loved but needed a split king due to snoring and reflux. We are both very happy with our decison over the Sleep Number. The wife objected to the split down the middle for about two days. After she realized that I do not snore nearly as much or loudly with the head of the bed elevated, she has not complained at all.

[Relyt]

I have used one in a few high class hotels I have used.......

I ******* hated them. Maybe because I was not use to them.... But I spent the entire night trying to figure out what number I should be. I would prefer sleeping on the floor much more than a sleep number bed.

Right now I sleep on a Serta Memory Foam bed, and would rather pull my own teeth than try a sleep number again.

Seems like people either love them or hate them. 2800 dollars is if gamble.

This may seem extreme, but I'd
Rather pay 2800$ for a bail of hay. Just saying lol.

I find that bail's of hay are overrated.

[Angrypuppy]

I've slept on quite a few of them at different hotels. I feel the same way Tye does.

Absolutely think they are garbage.

Some people though that I've talked to love them though.

[Rock]

Being a lightweight, I can sleep on anything as long as it doesn't sag towards the middle.
As a sufferer from mild Gastro-Reflux I have been thinking about a divided double bed that can elevate the separate sides independently. Anyone who suffers from Reflux knows that a slight elevation can make a lot of difference.

[subtona]

It's an air mattress.

[crew]

I bought a queen size dual chamber SN bed about 4 years ago. I use it everyday and love it. Since then my girlfriend has purchased one and she is happy with it as well.
This past year I bought a vacation home and went to SN for a king mattress that, at least so far, I am very satisfied with. Never had a single problem with any of them.
I keep mine fairly firm, I think my # is 70.

[Dr. Prunesquallor]

Ours doesn't have the elevation feature, just the queen dual air chambers. I keep my side on 70, my wife has hers on 40.

Like I mentioned earlier, my side tended to lose air, but the replacement pump fixed that. Now we never have to adjust the settings.

We've had it about three years and like it fine. Our previous mattress was not cheap by any means, but it gave my wife back problems. Those have gone away with the SN. I don't get the vehement dislikes of some, but to each their own.

Funny enough, consumer reports give them rave reviews

[brandrea]

Interesting thread. I can't speak to the SN bed, but for me a firm matures with a feather/down top is best. I also find that quality sheets make a huge difference.

This^^^^^

I love my tempurpedic and it's even better with a great feather bed on top.
My gf hates it, even with the feather top.
She wants to try a SN. Argh!

Well, Jesus was born in a manger in a stable, but I wouldn't recommend that either.

My brother in law spent 4K on one.

It is nice if you like an air mattress. I have an air mattress that cost $400, seems about the same.

[77T]

The concept is an expensive route but some people swear by them while others like Tye swear AT them

There's more to go wrong than with a simple conventional mattress - think tourbillon for timekeeping

But if you have a medical condition, the elevating feature is great and may improve your comfort. I've been fortunate with pure latex so never own done.
