We bought the top of the line Select Comfort Sleep Number 9000 kingsize after trying it out in the store. Spent over $5,000. At the time it seemed like the right bed for us. After delivery one of the airchambers leaked so they hd to send a replacemnt. for that they extended the warranty period an additional 30 days. My husband slept on the bed for 1 week then moved to another bedroom. He did not like the bed and could not find a number he was comfortable at. In the store we were told the air system was "whisper" quiet. Well, it is not. Makes a lot of noise when you add or let our air. Lots of clicks. Also, we were not told when there are changes in the atmospheric conditions, the air chambers would either increase or decrease. Ours went up as much as 15 points or down as much as 10 points.. With the noisy air pump with both of us being in the bed we could not use it or we would wake the other during the night. Next, the workmanship of the bed itself is very cheaply made. For the price you would expect something of more quality. I tried reversing the foam pieces several times and changed my number numerous times. I have yet to get a good nights sleep without taking a sleeping pill. Every morning I wake up with my back hurting. Regardless of the number, I have yet to get support under my lower back. I talked with the support people several times and used their suggestions but they did not help at all. They are picking up my bed in a couple of days and I will be bed shopping again. For a lot cheaper, I could have taken a couple of heavy duty air mattresses and put several egg crate pads or memory foam pads and come close to making what they made for $5,000. The "foundation" is nothing more than heavy duty polyetheline.
