Select Comfort Air Bed —
We have a Select Comfort king sized bed. My husband & I were looking for a comfortable bed, and had slept very well on portable air beds when visiting relatives. So, we figured select comfort with dual controls should be even better.... Boy were we wrong! My husband prefers a softer matress (#40-45) and I prefer a little more firmness (#55-60). Because his # is lower, there seems to be a "hole" on his side of the bed from which I am constantly fighting to keep from rolling into! And, when he gets up and leaves in the morning (earlier than me) the hole gets way worse because then there is no body weight dispersing the air. When he is on the road, I pump up his side to 65-70 (firmer than mine) and then I am able to sleep fairly well. The advertisements showing people snuggling together in the middle of a Select Comfort bed make me laugh! If only all the viewers knew that the actors were actually laying on the uncomfortable foam divider! In order to get the benefit of the bed, you need to lay in the middle of your section, which, on a king-sized bed, means we're laying 3 feet apart - him in his "hole" and I on the top of a downward slope.The manufacturer should give people 45-60 days to try it out, and not just 30. My husband was on the road most of the initial 30 days, and only slept on the bed 3-4 times by the end of the trial period.... not long enough to even know if he liked the bed, much less both of us together. I tried to sell the bed when it was 3 months old at half my cost, but had only one looker. Still have the bed now after 4 years, and have hated every minute of it. I can't wait to get a new REGULAR mattress, but that will be awhile since this one cost so much and ate up the budget.
