I don't have a Sleep Number bed but I do have an adjustable Beauty Rest carbon series adjustable bed (split king). I like it a lot, so does my husband. Need to buy platform too. When buying platform, need to "figure out" if it will work/fit with existing headboard and or footboard you have (if you have one and plan to use keep it). Shop around, compare prices and research on line.

I have a sleep number bed and it’s great! They have great customer service and what’s nice is that it goes together in pieces so it can be completely taken apart and moved easily. Our foam around the air bladders was getting a bit soft after 8 years so I called and asked if I could get new foam and because they have such a long warranty I was able to get new foam delivered for $150 which made it like a brand new bed again. Great Customer service! If you have allergies, the whole mattress cover (I don’t have the fancy memory foam topper) can be washed as it zips on and off.

We have one and we love it - I’m a 60 and DH is a 90 (why he likes laying on a slab of concrete is beyond me - LOL!). That’s quite a difference, so that’s why we love this bed.
My only regret is not spending the extra money to buy the one that raises (like a hospital bed) - I would have liked that for when I’m reading in bed. It also would be nice when you need to have your head elevated when you’re sick.

We bought a SleepNumber and it was returned. Both of us did not care for it. We bought a higher end model and still felt like we were sleeping on a thinly cushioned raft. Gave it 90+ days to no avail.

Mattresses are so personal. What one person loves and sleeps like a baby is an uncomfortable insomnia bed to others.

I was shop around online I thought at one point you could adjust the temperature as well but I could not find it

I'd want to know if returning it is possible when you weren't the buyer. That'd be something I'd look into beforehand, too.

Like fly girl said, what seems a great gift may not suit the recipient at all--which they may only discover after getting it.

My mom and I are only 20 min away from each other and we text and call all the time

My mom has had two. I was there when the second one was delivered. I was turned off by watching the delivery guys put it together. It looked like a raft. I never slept on it. My husband and I were considering a top of the line sleep number king at at least 8 grand with the adjustable bed. After watching the set up process (which included delivery of a damaged adjustable base which had to be changed out) we bought a Temperpedic with am adjustable bed for less money.

Am I reading the post right that I might as well be sleeping on a raft

I think I would go to the store and try it out. There are at least 5 different models, along with different base options.

We had a sleep number bed for many years. I liked it at first since DH and I could adjust our own sides. He likes a softer mattress and I like mine more on the firm side. The last few years we had it, my side didn't seem to hold my setting all night. I would set it at 75 and wake up with a horrible backache. During some nights, the mattress would lose air and the setting would be down to like 25. Other nights it would go up and in the morning it would be 100. Since it gained air as often as it lost it, I don't think it had a leak. It just wouldn't consistently hold the number I set. DH never seemed to have an issue with his side.

A couple years ago, we ditched the sleep number and got a regular mattress with an adjustable base. We can adjust the head and foot of the bed up and down. We love it. It's so much more comfortable and easier to get just the right setting.
