Select Comfort Sleep Number Bed 3000 — 

In 2004 my wife and I made the decision to invest in a Select Comfort bed. The salesperson suggested it would help alleviate my back pains. Since then I have developped additional back pains, and now I am suffering from shoulder pain as well. I was also sold into purchasing the electrically adjustable bed frame (possibly the best part of the purchase)

I was told to give it several months before I would adjust to the comfort... Well it has not happened yet in the 4 years we've owned it.

The fabric shell which encloses the mattress components (foam rails, inflatable mattress, tubes, etc.) has stretched to point where the edges have now flattened. We are forced to sleep towards the center of the bed. I have once replaced the side bumper guard. This has not solved the problem. It lacks the strength that you find in a standard mattress, which also gives you and the freedom to move around and position yourself in any manner you desire. There is actually less intimacy with this bed (I guess it is fine if you are going thru a divorce)

We definitely regret having purchase this mattress system. Maybe a king size bed would have done the trick.

Hello, my name is Kristin. I work for Select Comfort in the Customer Service department. I am so sorry to hear you are having problems with your Sleep Number bed. The good news is that we can fix it for you. The Sleep Number bed is designed for couples who cannot agree on a mattress firmness, so once we get your bed back to you each enjoying your own setting you will again be able to sleep comfortably. We can offer you something called a chamber lift to take up the additional space inside to cover, so it is no longer stretched out. This is also something covered under warranty that can be replaced. Thank you for your feedback. This helps Select Comfort continually be able to better the product we make. Please feel free to contact us at 1-800-472-7185 to ask about the chamber lift. This is a no cost solution to you. We look forward to hearing from you, and getting you comfortable in your bed again.

Sleep Well,

Kristin Prahl
