I was so tired of shopping for mattresses. My husband and I decided that we got tired of rolling into each other each night and not getting a good nights sleep. I had heard about the sleep number bed and thought they were too expensive, but after going to the store and comparing the price of a new mattress to theirs it wasn't so bad. We love our Sleep Number Bed. My husband likes a very firm mattress and I like a softer mattress. I truly believe it saved our marriage. It was easy to put together and we have not had any problems with our sleep number at all. Well worth the money!
