My wife and I have had this Cal-King Select Comfort bed for about 17 years. It has a pillow top. It came with a 20 year warranty.
I'm 6'1" and come in at about 250 lbs. My wife is 5'4" and weighs about 125. Both of us are over 60 years old. My wife has had 3 back surgeries to fuse vertebrae together.
This bed has been good to us all things considered. It was an easy set up. It took a bit to get the settings right, but now, no problem. We've only had small issues with the air staying in, and mostly it only loses a bit when we find it necessary to move the bed. The pump has been reliable the entire time we've owned it.
This is a somewhat hot bed, especially when you first use it. Over the 17 years we've had it, that hasn't improved a whole lot. We do have a mattress warming pad (rather than an electric blanket) since we've moved to Missouri and that may inhibit the air movement a bit, but only slightly I think.
At about the 8 year mark the bed started showing a bit of a ridge in the middle from the foot to the head. I suspect that the foam may be breaking down a bit, however, it still remains comfortable after all these years. Each of my three adult children and their spouses have used the bed during times we've been away and all of them have tried to lay claim to it should we get another bed.
We've loved this bed for a long time now, and we're starting to think about another bed that will probably see us into the hereafter. The only problem I have now with this bed is what it would cost us to replace it with a bed of the same quality from the same manufacturer.
I've seen claims from all different manufacturers about high recommendations and so forth for this type bed, or that type. I can only tell you to do an extensive bit of homework, read reviews, know your warranty info and return info before making a choice. It's a fairly important thing because of the amount of time you'll spend in the bed, and it's supposed to provide a refreshing sleep as well as help aches and pains.
The worst bed ever! never had back pain until this bed!
Paid $2499.
The day we recieved the bed we were so happy... 30 days in we were in pain. Not just discomfort.. I m talking numb legs, middle of the back pain, shoulder discomfort, I can go on and on. After calling custiomer support they sent us foam pieces to put inbetween the topper and the air chamber. that worked for about 1 month. Then they sent us foam pieces to put under the air chambers.. not any better. So the last draw for us was the foam they sent for the third time.. 3" foam to replace two 11/2" foam?? stupid. They drug us through the ringer for almost a year until we could not take it anymore. I packed it up in boxes at 2am one night ( I really wanted to burn it!) and call the next morning and demanded a retrun or a repalcement. Well since it had been a year they would not replace it with out us purchasing another..?? So we returned it and lost $1000. for shipping and a 30% restocking fee.. This is the worst experiance ever!!
The absolute worst bed ever. The first 6 months were amazing after that it was all down hill. The foam padding around the air bladders crush. Since the bladders fill in a curvature on top u roll to the center sleeping in a valley. If you move to the othe side of the bladder you slide of the side of the bed. Absolutely the worst bed ever designed or concieved of.

It's terrible. There is a lump in the middle andwe have one pump that went out. It's like sleeping in a hole. Talk about a backache! You can only sleep in one little spot because you can feel the outside frame all around. Then you have this big pump and wires all over. I woujld never buy this again.

I have had the bed for about 8 years or so. The foam dividers are starting to disinegrate and the gray foam is coming apart. One side of the pump went bad I and found out it would cost close to 100 dollars to replace it. I took it apart and found out a small wire had shorted out in a smale replaceable solenoid. They would not send me the part even though they could look it up in their system. I would never buy this type of bed again and would not reccommend it to anyone. It is a big store hype and way over priced for what you get.

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.

I have no idea why the media continues to say this mattress is one of the best. It truly is like sleeping on an air mattress but costs so much more.
I would have sent it back in the first 90 days but my husband (who could sleep on anything...even the floor) did not want the "hassle".
Never have found the right number for me and believe me I have tried. Hurts my hips and shoulders by causing pressure.
I am serious about the air mattress feel, better to buy a "blow up" and put a foam topper on it!
At $1900 and the hype I expected more...
Started to link air...we are not "heavy" people.
My husband and I bought a sleep number 12 years ago (when they were simply Select Comfort beds) because he likes to sleep on something as hard as a floor, while I prefer something more like a waterbed. We first had a problem with him rolling over onto my softer side continuously, to the point he was so uncomfortable trying to balance. Selelct Comfort sent us an extra foam pad to help, which didn't, really. Now, the bed is breaking down and the middle caves in, even at the firmest setting. My husband and I haven't slept in the same bed in years because he is so uncomfortable in this bed from day one. I wake up most mornings with back pain that goes away after a couple hours up.
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.
