Select Comfort Sleep Number Bed 5000 Review

My husband and I have different ideas on what a comfortable bed should be. Personally I love my old mattress, it's firm with a pillow top. He prefers something softer. So we figured the sleep number bed would be great for us...WRONG!!!!

The best way to describe what it's like and even give you a chance to try it out for much less is to sleep on an air mattress (you know, the ones you sleep on while camping!) the more you spend the more padding you get to put on top of the air mattress so to test this out add lots of foam and fluffy blankets to see if it helps. However when we first called in to complain about the feel of the bed they told us to put the foam padding UNDER the air pads!!!! OK, we did and it did NOT help. Sure when your trying it out in the store your on the best product they have and there is someone there telling you that "This is your number!" Our numbers were not comfortable in our own home!

Also, the machine pumps air in the bed all night long to keep it at your number...I can hear it and then I can't sleep! You know how when you go to sleep on a camping air mattress it gradually deflates...the pumps stop this but do you really want to hear the machine turning off and on all night? We didn't.

They are a good company, we called and asked for an extension on our trial period and they allowed it with out any problems but even after keeping the bed for 90days we just couldn't get comfortable and forget about the sound the pump made. They took it back and gave us our money back without any problems.
