Does anyone in the club use/own a Select Comfort / Sleep Number bed?

Your opinion

Did you keep the last Friends & Family coupons?

Looking to upgrade some bedding

I had two of them. Both were Kings.

Worked OK for awhile but then began loosing air over time on one side. They replaced the bladder on that side...and it still leaked. They then replaced the pump with all hoses under warranty... but it still leaked. They then sent a second complete mattress set. It worked OK.

However there are several issues we did not like. The first is there is a reinforcement "divider" in the middle and on the perimeter. If you try to sleep along the edge or in the middle of the bed it would roll you into the cavity above each bladder. It was frustrating because you could not position yourself where you wanted to sleep. The second issue was that the pump was very loud and would kick on randomly in the middle of the night and would wake us up. I understand the pumps are now improved and are quieter. The third issue was that if you sat on the edge of the bed to put on socks and shoes...the reinforced edge would collapse into the bladder cavity. Any concentration of weight at the edge would overcome the vertical reinforcement.

We ended up donating it to Goodwill.

I would not buy another.

We replaced it with a "Dr. Choice" Firm mattress from Denver Mattress Co. for less than a third of the price of the Sleep Comfort. We like it so well we bought two. One for home and one for the farm. They are a conventional mattress designed by an Orthopedic Surgeon. We sleep very well on them. Kathy raves how much she likes them.

Be aware however that my Father and Kathy's parents both bought one and both returned them because they were too firm.

Not everyone has the same taste in mattresses.

I have one that you can buy. We never could get used to the number/ firmness of the air bladder. We now have a mattress, both of us sleep better. Problem with pillow top mattress' is the fact you can rotate it. If you don't want to buy, but want to try, let me know. It's a king. Never heard our pump run. ditto on the dividers and perimeter. One controllers LCD display is messed up, but still works.
