Anyone have a Sleep Number bed?

I thought about getting a sleep number bed, but I will not buy any products that Rush Limbaugh endorses.

Yeah, but I hear Rosie O'Donnell uses one. Does that change your mind?

Actually, she uses two. One on top of the other.

My wife and I purchased a Tempurpedic a couple of years ago. I has been worth the $2000 for us. We really noticed the difference after travelling and sleeping in hotel beds, and the thing is so dense you never have to turn it. It should last the rest of our lives as long as we don't allow it to get compromised by a flood or infested by bed bugs or some other such common parasites. The key to having it work right is not to place a matress pad on it. I would advise anyone purchasing one of these to purchase two factory covers--they are a bit laborious to take off and wash and you want to recover it right away. Never ever sleep on it or do anything else on it without the factory water resistant cover.

I've been hankering after one of these, but I never knew the price. I suffer from bad neck pains, I 've heard these mattresses are supposed to be outstanding.

Hi, Matt,

I have some info on beds, because we bought a new one 1 1/2 years ago and I kept all my research. I don't have time now to look it up, though, sorry. We're on our way to a friend's house for dinner, and we're the ones cooking.

Quick fact: With a Select Comfort bed, you're paying for all their mega-advertising. If you're dead set on a bed like that, there are reasonably priced alternatives that are said to be made better.

Other air beds

Matt,

Select Comfort isn't the only maker of sleep-number air beds. Here's a list for you to investigate:

1. Comfortaire

2. Nautilus Sleep Systems

3. FloBeds Air Beds

When we shopped for beds, we tried an air bed. The easiest to find were the Select Comfort beds. We didn't like them. Even if we had, we wouldn't have ordered one--way too overpriced. We'd have gotten one through FloBeds, probably.

BTW, we ended up with a foam mattress, one that's a thick combo of memory foam and latex.

G'luck,
Chris

No, it take two side-by-side

Thanks Chris, I missed your post initially when I was without internet for a couple days due to a wind storm.

I've forwarded those links so my wife can gander at them.

Sleep Number Bed

We have 2 of them, our first (bought 10 years ago)was the queen model and now we have bneen sleeping on the King model pillowtop for 3 years. Our guest room has the queensize in it and it is still in wonderful condition and adjusts perfectly for all our friends and family who sleep on it.

I recommend it whole heartedly!

My wife has been emailing back and forth with a select comfort rep and think we found one we like. It's basically a 7000 series with a 5000 cover. They don't sell it in stores, only when my wife asked if they had a military discount did he tell her about this.

So this custom king size 7000/5000 with all the bells and whistles plus the base, legs, two wireless controllers, delivery and setup is going to run us just over $2000 compared to a comparable 7000 series price of $3500. She is going up to Tuscon next week to look at the floor models.

I've owned a comfortaire mattress for about 10 years now and love it.
We had a leak in the pump after about 2 years and they fixed it under warranty only cost was shipping from ca to sc.

Who is Rosie O'Donnell?

I bought one of the sleep number beds a couple years ago, my back was killing me. I got the second cheapest one they make, and it was still way too much for a frame basically made of the same stuff they make garbage cans out of, an air bag/mattress, and a small compressor and control. I passed on the memory foam because a friend bought one as a anniversary gift for his wife, and really really hates it for one reason, IT'S HOT! If you like a warmish bed, it's for you, my sister is going to get one. I like the bed on the cool side, and so I went with the sleep number instead.

It was hard to find the right number, and my back hurt after 6 hours anyway. I bought a new "big chair" recliner, my dog slept on that, I stayed in the bed, until one time my other dog got sick in the bed, and I had to wash the sheets and the top of the mattress. I slept in the "big chair" that day, and slept for 14 hours! I woke up and couldn't believe it! My back was ok. I slept the rest of the week in the chair, then went back to bed, and after 6 hours, I had to get up.

Now the sleep number bed is the one dog's bed, Molly loves it. Me and the other dog sleep like corpses in the big chair. I haven't slept as good as I do in it for 20 years! So, I blew $1200 on a dog bed.......

Well it's a done deal, wife order are new Select Comfort last night, I sure do hope it's worth it.

Hopefully this gets me a pass on future audio purchases.

I hate to bring back this thread, but the wifey and I pulled the trigger on a Tempur-Pedic, I've had it for 3 nights now and like Mike C. said the first night is a little strange as you body adjusts to correct sleeping posture, now I couldn't be without it. I bought the pillows too and my usuall neck pains/cramps are gone, my wife (who is a bit of a cynic) actually admitted that her back feels better and she's been sleeping better. Go figure.

I'm all for cheaper recommendations.

One of the best conventional Mattresses I have used is the Simmons Beauty Rest. Get something a bit more on the firm side. They offer great support and comfort. Check out the pillow tops as well. Some people like them others don't. I, for one, am not a fan.
