My husband and I bought this bed a several weeks ago. I am 5′2″ and my husband is about 6′0″ We have spent about 4 years looking at different mattresses and didn’t know whether we should choose between the Memory Foam Type Mattress or Sleep Comforts, Sleep Number Bed. We finally decided to take the time and go to one of the store locations and test out the mattress first. The Sales Person who helped us, had us both lay on the Mattress and showed us both what sleep numbers would work for the both of us.
I really like the bed but do agree the price of this bed was expensive for what you get. Seeing the construction of the bed made me weary realizing this is an air mattress. I feel that I am sleeping better then I was on our other mattress. I am happy with the bed however, my husband was not.
My husband has had NO sleep and is tossing and turning. I told him his sleep number is too low. He set his number anywhere from 45 and down and even slept on 20 if you can believe this. He slept on the Couch the other night because he was simply frustrated. (The couch is a Futon which has plywood under it) My husband weighs about 185 to 190.
I told him by sleeping on the Futon, that is like the setting of 100, so he needs to increase the number on the bed if sleeping on the futon is comfortable to him.
We both agreed that by sleeping on the couch will not solve the problem, so he has agreed to increase his sleep number.
UPDATE!!!!! WOW!!!! By adjusting my husbands sleep number to a higher number, 65. He has finally had several great nights sleep!!! My husband finally agreed with the Futon analogy. He realized that he liked sleeping on a more firm mattress. When we visited the store, the Salesperson told my husband that his sleep number was 45. So by taking the advise of the Store clerk, my husband slept at that number. He was miserable. Luckily, my husband was willing to try a much higher number and discovered that he was more comfortable with a much firmer surface. He hasn’t complained since, now about a week!!!!!!
The ability to control the firmness of the bed is the best feature. When you purchase this bed, the important thing to remember is that it takes more then a few weeks to get used to sleeping on this mattress and to find out what your perfect sleep number is. I would suggest sleeping at the same number for 3 nights then switch to another number for another 3 nights. You will finally find out what works for you by testing out the mattress and your own setting.
I weigh 129 pounds and find that taking down the normal number that you like to sleep on down another 5 when sleeping on your stomach. The number you like on your side may differ when sleeping on your stomach.
However, like other people have said, everyone one sleeps different. What may be comfortable for some, may not be the same for others. I really like this bed, hopefully my husband will feel the same as time goes on!
UPDATE! We now have slept on this bed for a month, at first, my husband hated this bed. Now, he snores more often which is a good thing. He has finally found out that by changing his sleep number to a firmer setting, he is sleeping much better! For me, this was a great purchase and worth the trial and error period. I am more re-freshed when I wake up in the morning and I no longer toss and turn like I once did on our old bed!
UPDATE–January 2006—-We now have had this bed for 5 months. We are sleeping better then ever. My husband even admits he loves this bed. It does take some time to get used to the number levels and what is best for you for firmness……whether it be soft or hard. We have adjusted our sleep numbers several times before we found just the right sleep number we both like, so don’t get frustrated, you must sleep at the new number for at least a few day’s to see if that is the number right for you.
When watching TV in Bed……..we both usually like to have the bed set at the max sleep number 100. When we go to sleep, we set our numbers for sleep!
I recommend this bed to anyone.
