We need to replace our mattress. We like different firmness, so are considering a Sleep Number. I can find lots of reviews, but trust all of you more.

We love ours. Going on eight years with it. My tip buy the nicest one you can afford. There is a big difference in the models.

I've only ever slept on one in a hotel. I wasn't impressed, but maybe it's something you need to sleep on in your own room for more than two nights.

We love ours. DH and I have two different ideas of a comfy mattress so it's perfect for us. I do have to say that if you're cuddlers (we're not), then I wouldn't go the Sleep Number route. The mattress has two airbeds with foam in between.
We actually bought our from QVC a loooong time ago and the reason from QVC was that we didn't have a SN store, it was the TSV on easy pay, AND we could return it if we didn't like it.

I like that dh and I can both have what we want in terms of firmness. I also like that I can adjust it to my current needs. I really like sleeping on a soft mattress, but sometimes I have back pain and need to have it firmer. When my back is hurting, I can just push a button and have a firmer mattress! I really like it. |

For DH and I, good. We've had ours for over five years now and we really like it. It's comfortable and so nice to be able to adjust it to suit our individual sleeping preferences. We have a split king size with the adjustable foundation, we love it. DS also has a sleep number bed and is very happy with it.
We bought ours at our Sleep Number store at the local mall. Though they do have a 30 day return policy, or at least they did when we bought ours, it was nice to be able to try them out and see what was available. DH has a bad back and decided he wanted one, and it has helped him sleep more soundly.

I will be a dissenter here. We just threw ours away. We hated that thing. We had it for 8 years and finally couldn't take it any longer.

No to the sleep number bed..at least for us. 30 days in, we were miserable. We got a I comfort by Serta..a gel memory foam combo. It's HEAVEN.

Here's another unhappy customer, both my husband and I feel it was the worst purchase we ever made. We have regrets getting rid of it after how costly it was. The Serta we had before this was so much better.

Depends. Do you like being tortured? Because every single morning, my husband and I woke up feeling like we'd been beaten with a baseball bat. Worst purchase EVER. We replaced it with a memory foam mattress, and that was one of the few things I took from the house when we divorced. It's about 10 years old now, and needs to be replaced. I will replace it with another memory foam mattress. Wish I could afford the Tempurpedic brand, but I can't now.

LOVE LOVE LOVE ours!!!!!!!!! We started with a queen size 3 years ago and this summer we bought a king size. We gave our queen size to our daughter.
I liked the queen one until last year when we moved to the house. then I started hating it. it was just too small for us and our pillows. Yes I said pillows. husband sleeps with 6 pillows. I sleep with 4. 2 under my head, one between my legs and I hug one because of my tendinitis. Since we have gotten our kings size mattress I have slept better and longer at one time. my favorite part of the bed is being able to adjust the firmness every time I get into bed. I have found that every few nights I change it. some of that is due to the air expanding or deflating depending on how hot or cold it gets in the room. I also like different firmness during the summer than I do during the winter.
I know that we wouldn't have bought a 2nd one when we changed from the queen to the king if we didn't like them. Also we bought the exact mattress in a king.
Daughter really likes hers too. She sets hers at 2 different numbers. one for when she lays on her back and one for when she lays on her side. she says she likes it that way. I guess if you are a single person sleeping on a queen bed why not.....
I would go to a sleep number store and lay on all the different models...... so you can get the feel you want some has more cushion on top of the air bags than others do.
We have one that doesn't have a thick cushion. we liked the feel more.
good luck.....

We've had one for about 13 years now. We bought our original from QVC years ago and had not problems. We recently upgraded to a king sized and the new models are vastly different than our original. We love it even more!

I love mine! It does very gradually lose air over time, and I am not as good about checking it as I should be. If my back starts to bother me, then I know it has softened due to loss of air, and the settings are no longer correct. I assume that those who don't like it didn't have it set right for them. Everyone needs to figure out which settings are best for them. My DH has his side set differently than I have mine.
I used to have horrible back problems until I got it. It has made a world of difference for me.

We've had ours for about 8 years and haven't had any problems with it. It's not like we hate it, but we don't love it either. It took us both a little bit of time to get it adjusted to the perfect number, but once we found what that number is, it's been fine. We have a king sized mattress, which has a divider running right down the middle of the bed, which I despise. When the time comes for a new mattress, we have no plans on getting another Sleep Number.

I think ours is almost 8 years old--and I am not a fan of it. I would really like to try one of the temerpedic stay cool mattress. I'm a side and stomach sleeper and when I'm on my side the mattress is too hard, but I need to have it hard so my back won't bow.
I just want a traditional bed---DH had to get a friggin soft side water bed when we 1st got married--I always had a back ache from that thing. Then we got this---still not happy...sigh..one of these days I'll figure it out.

I loved mine, then hated it when a few years into having our Sleep Number the middle caved in but we rectified that, now love it again. Has helped tremendously when I broke my foot last year and was in a cast up to my knee as well as now as I am 27 weeks pregnant so my needs are changing from soft to more firm pressure with lots of pillows for my body. Ours is a King with a nice thick pillow top feature, forgot what it was called as we've had ours for 10 years but we definitely upgraded to a more top of the line at the time.
Downside - my dh loves it at 30 so the bed just doesn't "look" right when made. Unless it's at level 80 or higher it doesn't have visual appeal. More saggy.

We've had ours about 12 years now. Loved for the first 5 years or so. Now I am meh about it. DH is a cuddler and over time the center has given in. Plus DH likes his side quite a bit firmer than I do so there is always a ridge in the bed.
