Does anyone has a Sleep Number Bed?

Hippinski

My back is killing me and I haven't slept in weeks.  Dh and I agreed that when we got the $$ from my settlement that part would go to a new bed.  I just tried the Sleep Number today and it seemed like a really good option for us but I was hoping to get some IRL feedback.

Thanks!

You might want to consider a memory foam bed.  My friend who has serious neck and back.  She got it from that store in the mall.

Yeah...I've tried those and hated them.   I just sunk into them and they offered not real "support".

Do you know any chiropractors or physical therapists who you can consult for recs?  I, personally, friggin' hated the sleep number bed but that's just me.  We didn't try it out for therapeutic/medicinal reasons.

I LOVE my SleepNumber bed.  I was just diagnosed with SPD and I'm pretty much disabled.  The ability to make it soft when I need it that way and firm when I need it that way is a total godsend.

I can't imagine how much more miserable I'd be without it.

Best thing I ever bought for myself.

DH and I got a Beautyrest last year and LOVE it. We tried the sleep number and were really considering it but it was sooo uncomfortable. AND there is a big lump in the middle if you both like softer numbers - no thanks! I also did a ton of googling and found way too much scary info about mold issues with them.

On the other hand, my MIL SWEARS by here, BUT she and FIL have very different sleep numbers. DH and I were like 5 numbers off from each other so made it easy to agree on a "normal" bed - if you and DH are really different maybe it would work for you.

I have one and love. ?There is a ridge in the middle, though, so if you like to sleep close it might not be right for you. ?

We will for sure check that out...but I hate having anyone touch me while I sleep so that must actually be a plus! :P

We have a sleep number bed and love it. ?I had back problems before we got the bed. ?Our old mattress sucked. ?I had to get shots and wear a back brace for support. ?Knock on wood, we have had the bed now for three years and I haven't had any back problems since. ?Even when I was pregnant with a BIG baby. ?I swear by them for people with back problems.

LOVE the sleep number bed!!!

My folks like theirs.  They actually slept in separate rooms for awhile because my mom likes a very firm mattress & dad preferred to sleep on an old waterbed they had.  When they moved they got their sleep number bed & it seems to satisfy them both!

We are on our second one (upgraded to a King) and we LOVE it!!! ?It is soooo comfortable and I used to be able to read/watch TV in bed, not anymore. ?I practically instantly fall asleep

We really do love it, and I'm not just saying that because DH works for Select Comfort! ?:) ?He's been there for 5 years now. ?It's a great company.

The only time that there's a noticeable ridge (in my opinion) is if you have drastically different sleep numbers - like 10 and 90, or something... if they're not drastically different, I don't think ?you'll notice especially with the newer models.

They're very easy to put together (save your $$ on the home delivery setup fee) and if you have to move, they're way more simple to transport that a regular box spring/mattress.?

If you have any questions, feel free to let me know and I can ask my hubby!

How easy to set up and if I don't get the home delivery how does it get delivered?

We didn't like it, but I don't think you'd have the problem I did. You're looking for support, and I like mine soft. Well, with it soft, it's like crawling out of a box when you get out. The sides stay rigid, and it was seriously like sleeping in a waterbed with no matress.

It's pretty easy to set up; it comes with detailled instructions. ?It probably takes one to two hours to unpackage and set up, etc. ?

It comes by UPS, I think, in about 5 or 6 boxes

The home delivery service is nice though - and they will remove your old mattress for free...so that is worth something in itself.

Let me know if other questions!!?

The removal alone is worth EVERYTHING!

I have been doing research all night.  This might be one of the things that I put my foot down on.   I'm the one with the back pain and insomnia...he can sleep through a freight train hitting the house.

Now...do I really need the pillow?   I know I'm skipping a few of the "extras" but for some reason I want the darn pillow. lol

annette&gordon

Woohoo! ?:) ?Let us know if you end up ordering it. ?I think they have a trial period too, and you can return it if you don't like it ~ but it may take a few nights to get used to it since it's quite different than a box spring/mattress set up.

DH has one of the pillows it ~ he won it at a work contest. ?It is nice but I am not sure it is worth the $$. ?Not that I have ever got to try it ... DH is a pillow hog!

I do really like their sheets/bedding though...they are wonderful.?

We are getting one today.

annette&gordon

I stand corrected...they will still remove your old mattress but there is a charge for it now. ?I'm not sure how much it is. ?Sorry...they must have changed their policy.

It's all part of the delivery process.   It cost us to have the delivery & removal but it is totally worth it.
