Beter to lay on the ground in a sleeping bag

I thought this was going to be a great experience, but it has become most disappointing purchase I have ever made. I have bought the King size P5 with all the bells and whistles, even got the fancy new pillows. No one told me about how the gap between the headboard and bed needs 3 pillows to fill the void. No one told me that the gap separation between the left and right side makes you feel like you are on a small bed constantly falling off. No one told me that when you go below 60 on the numbers you can feel the stiffness of the solid board under the air chambers. DONT BUY IT ITS NOTHING BUT A GLORIFIED CAMPING SLEEPING BAG.

Not worth the money

We bought our bed in May 2017 so have had it for about 11 months. We had wanted one for a long time after my husband slept on one at a hotel. We went to the store, had a nice salesperson and decided on the p5. We loved it in the store. So soft and plush. We were offered an “outlet p5 that is exactly the same as the store p5” to save us some money so we thought “Why not?” Upon delivery it was quite obvious it wasn’t exactly the same, thin, sagging in the middle and so uncomfortable. So I called customer service, spoke with 3 different agents who all stated “It’s exactly the same as the p5”. After reminding them of the mattress specifications stating a p5 is 11” thick and our mattress is only 9” thick and that is NOT “exactly the same”. Eventually they took away the outlet mattress and brought us the p5 we intended to buy, for an additional fee and no warranty mind you. Well, it’s better than the first one but still not as comfortable as the one in the store and it sags in the middle too. I will never purchase a Sleep Number bed again! Really the only thing we like about it is the adjustable base. I’m posting my review here as Sleep Number would not post it on their website so don’t believe their real customer reviews.

Like camping every night

We bought a P6 split King Sleep Number bed in Nov of 17. It is now Jan of 18 and while my husband LOVES this thing I HATE it. At first it was good. After about two weeks I stopped sleeping through the night and found myself constantly adjusting the sleep number. Here's the issues: lower back pain every morning, when I adjust to help my lower back, my upper back is uncomfortable. When I sleep on my side I like a lower number, but then I feel like I am in a hammock. I unzipped the casing and found that I am basically sleeping on an egg crate on top of the air mattress. I have also found that my neck has been in pain too, which never happened on my traditional Stearns and Foster. I am going to initiate the return process next week. We have already purchased a Hybrid Beautyrest Tolliver to replace it. I am HOPING so much that I will like a hybrid. In summary it does feel like an air mattress with padding. It might be for some, but in no way is it for me, I think I am couch bound until the new one is shipped. Luckily our couch sleeps very well.

comfort pad disaster, been replaced every 6 months

this is a very overpriced item that I've constantly had problems with the comfort pad tearing all the way through where the pad meets the edge of the bed and then your bed becomes rounded off and looks terrible when made. I have replaced it under warranty and currently on my forth foam pad and it is now out of free replacement warranty. Customer service is terrible as they expect the customer to try take the bed apart, install new pad, and shrink wrap it up to return it to them. I have talked to them several times and they will not admit to having a design flaw in this bed but there is no way this 2 inch pad should split apart and droop. A bad bed and company that could care less

No support and base off gasses like crazy.

No one will tell me what the base is made of, it's some sotr of polymer, don't know if it uses recycled materials, but it smells bad. Additionally, every time the bed expels air, it also smells bad and is noisy. The bed does not offer any support for my lower back, and I have to continually adjust it if I want to go from sleeping on my side to my back.

UNDERWHELMED

Got the bed delivered. Programmed our sleep number...gave it a try (three days as instructed by our salesperson). When I got in bed the first time, I felt that it was completely different than the bed we had tested in store (so did my husband). Much more uncomfortable. Woke the first night with a backache...next knee pain...now feel like I have been in an auto accident or have been beaten up. VERY UNDERWHELMED. VERY DISAPPOINTED. For the money spent, I would expect much more. Worse yet, I am reading even with the "in home trial" I will have to pay for them to pick it up. I paid over 150 to have them deliver the bed which took them all of 15 minutes to install. :(

Sleeping in a Ditch!!

We bought this mattress from a Select Comfort Store at our local Mall; thinking this was going to be the greatest thing. A good night sleep with no aches in the morning. We have an Antique Highback full size bed and it being a small bed we at least wanted a mattress that would be great and worth keeping the bed. This mattress I would not recommend to anyone. We should have sent it back within the 30 night trial period, but thought we were not getting our numbers right to where they needed to be. Eventually it got worse and we were rolling into the center of the bed. Select Comfort was called and all they could do for us was send us a cheap mattress pad, which we paid for. They said this would resolve the problem. It did not! It was such a cheap foam pad too. It became to a point where we could no longer share the bed together. The couch was more comfortable!! Actually my dog's bed is probably more comfortable too! We ended up putting it on a spare bed until we can sale it. Which we feel bad to even do that. We don't want someone else to be out like us. We lost $2097.16 & $23.64 for the pad, which they called it a single chamber lift. Please know we rate this with No Stars, but had to rate it with one in order for this review to be taken.

White Water Rafting

Every Sleep Number bed I've slept on, including the one I own, is like sleeping on a blow-up raft. Regardless the setting the bed is not supportive in the right areas. Too firm and it is like sleeping on a board. Lower settings and it sinks in the middle - Note: neither I nor my husband are heavy people. Aggravates allergies, both the outgassing of the syntethic materials and the mold in the chambers.
