Yes, we know how expensive it is. We have heard all kinds of remarks from friends and family about how much we paid for “an inflatable mattress”, and how could such a lightweight piece of furniture hold up?”. Bottom line, I will probably never buy another type of bed. Fibromyalgia, a disorder that has been likened to “arthritis in the muscle and soft tissue”, can cause serious sleep disturbance due to the fact that pressure on muscles and soft tissue is very often painful and distracting. Within one week of delivery of our Nautilus bed, I was already sleeping through the night most nights. Upon awaking, I felt much more refreshed and ready to face the day. It has been two years, and I still wouldn’t part with it. Yes, it is lightweight, but seems to be made of quality materials. It has help up well, and shows little if any wear. It has to be pretty durable, because we have an eight year old son who likes to jump on the bed to wake us up on Saturday mornings! It is easy to move, easy to make up, and the motor is quiet during adjustment. My husband loves a really soft bed, and I have to have a firmer one, so this is the best solution available. I no longer toss and turn and keep him awake, so his sleep has improved as well. One word of advice: Hide the controls from your kids - they love to adjust it up and down!
