Select Comfort Mattress Set Review

My back has been in pain for almost 40 years now. It started with a pinched spinal chord at the base of my back while painting. It has caused me no end of agony...

...until I bought a Sleep Number bed about five years ago. It quickly put an end to most of the pain I suffered for so long. Now when I aggravate my back, one or two nights at most on my Sleep Number mattress is enough to dissapate the pain. No, my back problem still has never been solved. No doctor has been able to cure it. Yet, this mattress has done wonders when nothing else could.

The rationale behind the Sleep Number bed is the dial with the number setting. The mattress works by pumping air into it. The user simply selects the number, counting by fives, from zero to 100 for their pesonal setting. I can change the number easily anytime I want. Whichever number I set tells the mechanism how much air to use, and thus how firm or soft the mattress will be. Upon purchase, it took a bit of experimentation to find the right number for me. Now and I then I try out a little harder or softer but 35 seems to be the right spot for me.

My one complaint is that the single size bed is a little short lengthwise. Other models, though, offer the ability to raise or lower the head and knees. For someone with acid reflux problems, this can be a Godsend. Also, the larger models can have two sides, so that couples can designate their own number on their sie of the bed.

All in all, it is a great purchase!
