Are You Happy with Your Sleep Number Bed?

We thought about getting the Sleep Number, but we both like completely different settings - which you would think is ideal except for the fact that if you like to snuggle or sleep holding each other, you end up directly in the middle. The middle part is like a regular mattress, it is a few inches wide and doesn't adjust. Therefore, my side (the soft side) had a pretty dramatic drop off from the middle. It's hard to explain, but try it out in the store. Don't just lie there on your back on your respective sides and be impressed. Really lay down and put your arms around each other like you normally would and see what I mean. Whatever you decide, I hope you are happy with your choice. My DH is still trying to talk me into one!

My mother had one and I remember thinking it felt like lying on the air mattress I used ay my grandmother's house.

I don't have one, but my best friend also has back pain and she purchased one. Her husband and her HATE the bed. She is in worse pain and can't sleep at night. Unfortunately, the customer service people weren't helpful and said it takes a while to get used to. I don't think she's been able to return it. I have chronic back pain from a car accident. I purchased a Tempurpedic bed but never received it. I got tired of waiting months for it so I cancelled the transaction. I ended up purchasing a the high end Simmons Beautyrest King pillowtop mattress. The first couple of weeks I didn't like it. I started getting worried. But after the first month, everything is great. We have had it for 2 years and my husband and I love it. I can't feel him moving at all at night. I paid close to $3000 at Rooms To Go. We did the 0% interest for 3 years.
NOTE: I hated my experience with Rooms to Go. If you can find that mattress somewhere else do it.

My inlaws bought a sleep number bed and they really love it. It does take a few weeks to get used to it.. and to find the perfect number for you. They got it mainly for my FIL.. but my MIL says that she didn't realize how much sleep she was missing because of the uncomfortable mattress they had. Good luck!

We have had a sleep number bed for about 6 years now and I wouldn't trade it for a million bucks! I LOVE it! I had back pain and my arm would always fall asleep during the night. Now my back feels better in the mornings and my arm never falls asleep. The salesman at the select comfort store told me my arm was falling asleep because a coil from my old mattress was pressing on a nerve. Guess he was right. I really loved it when I was pregnant because I could adjust it to be a little firmer to support the extra weight. Thats one thing that is awesome about it, if you do have a stiff back from strenous work you can make it firmer for a couple of nights and then return to your sleep number when your feeling better. We have one, my mother and father-in-law have one and so does my SIL and we all love them!
