after 10 years it feels like a hammoc is a better option
the air chambers are just strong enough to last 10 years. After that they crack (plastic material) and the connection points start to leak. Very poor and cheap construction. I ended up needing to keep patching them often.
Once they start braking up you get no indication, but any small leak is enough to cause all chambers air pressure to drop and that causes severe pressure on some parts of your back which can cause severe pain in the borning in the lower back and shouders.
They offered to send me a new set of air chambers for $150 as far back as 2 years and as recent as 3 months ago. When I decided to order one set of air chambers recently they raised the price to $300. This is no where as good as a hybrid mattress with 600 to 1000 small coils that will rarely fail all at the same time.
The best mattress overall are the hybrid ones with diffeent spring sizes on the lower back and elsewhere. For about $2000 you can get even mattresses with organic cotton at even department stores.
There is no way these 9 air ballons are worth the price they try to charge you. Way too high for its life expectancy and actual cost of cheap materials used.
It is just a few plastic ballons connected through a single shared air tuve with some air latch valves to allow air to flow in one direction only with a central valve that you can adjust to control the balanced pressure that the system will settle. A person of a different weight will get a total different firmness response unless the central valve is re-adjusted.
Ths design is like 9 small air beds with foam on top of it. The real bad part about it is that any leak in the whole system causes all the chambers air pressure to drop and that renders their function to an useless status.
After buying expensive mattresses for years I never found the right softness or firmness that would relieve pain or have a good night sleep.
After reading about Christopher Reese bed that was made for his specific needs I investigated the bed he had and bought it with skepticism but I liked the features and could try it for 30 days and return it if I didn't like it. I have had this bed for over 6 years and it is the best bed I have ever slept in. I can have back pain or shoulder pain and I can't wait to go to bed because I wake up relieved of pain. I broke my ankle a year ago and had a cast for 8 weeks and the bed adjusted to the weight of the cast. The wool covering is not hot or cold, just perfect!

I purchased a Natural Form Mattress several years ago. Although they have a sleep guarantee, they are quite difficult to deal with if you have an issue later on. I have written the following review of their product and hope no one else will have a similar experience.
REVIEW: Natural Form Self-Adjust Technology (SAT) King Mattress by WCW Inc.
DO YOU LIKE TO GAMBLE? I am sure this could be a very good mattress, but we seem to have a ‘lemon’ and unfortunately, WCW seems completely unaware that sometimes a product is simply more than the sum of its parts. They have taken the time to replace many of the interchangeable parts of the mattress, but refuses to replace the mattress as a whole! Anyone behind the initial contact seems insistent on hiding behind the customer service reps so it is impossible to discuss the issue with a higher power.
How do I know there is a problem? – the left and the right operate separately and one side is perfect. The other is clearly defective and even after replacing parts, it hasn’t changed a thing! It is unfortunate that this company does not stand behind its product as a whole, but simply tries to pass off procrastination as customer service.
