I sent the Select Comfort bed back and ordered the Nautilus Sleep System bed (similar design). I received the Nautilus bed a little slower than Select Comfort, but not big issue. Set it up and placed a 2″ “tempurpedic-like” foam pad on top of the Nautilus bed (I had originally purchased this foam with the Select Comfort in hopes of improvement. You can also buy a higher end Nautilus or Select Comfort which offers this added foam as standard). Within about a month. The poor posture and nagging upper back pain I had experienced for years slowly went away. Not sure that it was this bed in particular, but the Nautilus bed is VERY comfortable and I would highly recommend taking either or both companies up on their 90 day no-risk trial.

After calling SelectComfort to return the bed, they stated that if one person has a tendency to sleep in the middle of the bed it will sag and that you must sleep centered on the mattress chamber. Still, sleeping alone it still sags.
–June 2001–
I saved money to purchase a Tempurpedic bed. However, was swayed after trying the SelectComfort beds. In the store, we felt the more premium models with foam padding were too much. So we ordered this classic. However, what appears to be solid chamber construction on assembly perhaps contributes to this bed’s primary flaw - it dips in the middle.
After sleeping on this bed for several weeks, we slept on it mounted on a traditional box spring and on the floor. However, even with both chambers at the firmest setting, the bed still dipped in the middle - yes, on the floor. In addition, I even purchased an after market tempurpedic-foam-like mattress top for the bed. This did nothing for comfort.
After seeing nearly an identical product from Nautilus Sleep Systems (yes the sport equipment manufacturer http://www.thebestbed.com) on tv, I investigated more on their web site. Nautilus offered the same 90 day trial, however their base model was a bit pricier than SelectComfort’s, yet offered a pillow-top and run-of-the-mill egg-crate foam layer atop the air chambers. Their air chambers were designed a bit differently too. If you paid more, you could get Nautilus’ advanced chamber design (which I did not).
SelectComfort delivered faster and offered more information and support (setup, etc). However, after the 2 week wait for my Nautilus, we slept on it for two nights. I was a determined switcher - nothing can replace good sleep. Even without a vertical foam piece between mattress pads like SelectComfort has, there was no dip in the middle. And we both slept better without back or neckaches in the morning.
I don’t understand why anyone would put-up with traditional mattresses, stores and sales people. Good night.
