Years ago I had a Sleep number bed and was not satisfied with the mattress that we had so we went to sleep number. We tried a bunch and liked the number 6. We don't make big purchases on the spot so in the interim I looked around at other options and found Air Pedic. Air Pedic was having a sale so the price was less then Sleep number. I liked the three chamber approach of Air pedic and found that they are made to order. The are also shipped as a mattress and not in a box to be put together by someone at the toon of $250. I called Air Pedic and spoke to Brian who helped us choose options, not hard sell. We purchased the Air Pedic and have no regrets. A great product and a great night sleep.
We purchased this mattress 12/28/2018. Hubby and I have different mattress preferences and sought a mattress that would work for both of us. We believed that a mattress that broke down into different, replaceable components would allow us to customize and keep the mattress longer. I spent a lot of time speaking to a representative asking a million questions and verifying warranty in various scenarios. The representative assured me that their warranty was top in their industry.
From the get go, we have had problems with comfort. Many calls, emails and adjustments recommended by Relief-Mart (now called Tempflow and Ultrabed, previously Selectabed, a division of Reliefmart). Everything from adding and removing foam layers, switching foam layers like taking the bottom one and bringing it to the top and vice versa, to blaming me for being short and telling me I’m not laying in the right spot on the mattress! Discovering the air levels require constant babying was frustrating. You set your air level but EVERYTHING affects the air level you set; if you get off the mattress and return to the bed and “fall” onto it or your pet lays next to you or you set the level with the pet next to you but the pet leaves, or your spouse wants to snuggle some and comes to your side of the bed. It ALL affects the air level. Going from level 35 to level 38 really affects my comfort so even if I set my level EVERY TIME I get in bed, these normal activities change the air level and I don’t realize it until I wake up in the middle of the night with extreme back pain or hip pain.
Then there are issues with the foam layers; feeling that even with the foam layers, you still “bottom out” where you don’t have enough support between you and the air chambers and you get pressure points. My hips, my tailbone…I wake up with such pain and numbness. Relief-mart (Selectable) has made it so hard to get warranty help, I have written them off as useless. I’m sure that is their normal practice, making it impossible to ever use the warranty.
Discovering this bed was completely life changing. No more waking up throughout the night or having back and neck pain. The 3 panels make a huge difference and it feels so plush even having the bed at the highest firmness setting.
We tried Saatva and a memory foam mattress from a local furniture store before deciding to finally paying the big bucks to get an adjustable mattress we both could enjoy. I am so glad we pulled the trigger.
I would also recommend getting the cooling add on as well. My wife sleeps hot and it seems to make a difference for her.
Not going to lie that I was a bit skeptical about Reliefmart and the Airpedic-850 because there weren’t many reviews and it isn’t mentioned in a lot of the major review sites. The website is very outdated and you can’t even order a mattress online. You have to call a store in California.
I’m so glad I took the leap of faith though because this mattress has been so good to us. I couldn’t recommend it more and I hope this review can help change some minds.
My husband and I purchased 2 different twin Air-Pedic mattresses to put in a king frame. We are very pleased with our purchase. We have had Sleep Number and Tempur-Pedic mattresses in the past, and the Air-Pedic surpasses both of these. It is the best of both concepts. The quality and price can't be beat. And having each mattress custom made to our individual specifications and at the exact height has been wonderful. We have also appreciated the great service that Rick extended to us. He has been great in answering our questions and in helping us decide which model to order.
