Sleep Number Beds?

We got the C4 and then put a 3inch gel memory foam topper on it, love it.

We bought a sleep number bed and we returned it after a week. It was horrible and did very much feel like a glorified air mattress. We got the most expensive one besides the cool one. We got a tempurpedic and love it!!!

I guess we are in the minority. We got a Sleep Number about five years ago and got rid of it three years ago. Absolutely hated it! The problem was the ineer workings of the mattress had two different air chambers on either side (a queen-sized bed) and a piece of foam dividing them in the middle. We would constantly be rolling towards the middle of the bed because the darn foam piece could never stay level with the air chambers. We contacted the Sleep Number store where we bought it, and they gave us another foam piece to put in the middle. It didn't help, and we were constantly adjusting those foam pieces. By the end, my back hurt so bad every morning from ending up sleeping at weird angles due to the unevenness of the bed that we just bought a basic mattress to sleep on while we save up for a Tempur-Pedic. It was an expensive lesson.
If you do try out a Sleep Number in the store, make sure after they find your perfect "number" that you actually move around afterwards rolling towards the middle, the edge, your side, etc.

You are not alone if you google reviews on the bed this is a common complaint. It seems people really start having issues after 5-6 years and they say the warranty is really bad. Many people complain that it just was not worth it to pay for a new pump when the bed would no longer hold air when another problem going on was the middle of the bed becomes a pit as well.

As someone mentioned it is a glorified air mattress with two sides that you either inflate more or less depending on what you like. They just put foam between the two air matresses and cover it like a matress. You can't feel the air matress because of the foam over the air matress.
