FEATURED REVIEW
Date: October 27, 2007
"We purchased our Sleep Number 5000 about a year ago. Had we known how happy we would be with the bed, we would have done so sooner! I have a chronic pain condition and need a bed that I can adjust as needed, and my husband prefers a firm mattress. In the past, we have had both a firm mattress and a plush pillow top. In both cases, one or both of us had great difficulty sleeping and woke the next morning feeling sore and unrested. Our king size Sleep Number 5000 helps us get the comfort and quality restorative sleep we both need. It has made such a difference for both of us that we have a hard time sleeping anywhere else. This has truly been the best purchase we've made, and without a doubt, my next bed purchase will also be a Select Comfort!"

Finally,,sleep
Date: October 25, 2007
"We have had our Select Comfort bed for almost two years. While we were somewhat hesitant about spending that much money for a mattress, it probably was one of our best purchases. We had a king size water bed and replaced the mattress with a Calif. King which fits perfectly. Like some others here have said, our only problem is the foam barrier between the air chambers, but have adjusted to that. For the first time in years I have been able to sleep through the night and wake up without sore back. I have sleep apnea and am on an auto-CPCP which adjusts pressure to maintain open airway. Since switching to Select Comfort my average pressure required has dropped 2 points, meaning airway is staying open better and thus better sleep. My wife has fibromyalgia which open awakens her several times a night. Again, she feels she is sleeping through the night and feels much better in the morning. All that aside, this bed is down right comfortable for us. Money well spent, and recommend it to all my friends."

We love it!!
Date: October 21, 2007
"We looked at these beds for over 3 years and finally decided to make the "jump". We decided that while it was a very big purchase, that sleeping was something that we did for a third of our lives so it might be important to be comfortable doing it.
We have loved it ever since. I'm heading there now and I can't wait to get there. The bed is very comfortable and we love that we can adjust it if we need to for whatever reason. I've already recommended this to some friends who have in turn bought one and also love it. EXCELLENT BUY!!!"

My Favorite Sleep Number Bed!
Date: February 25, 2008
"I've this bed for over 13 years & still think it's best bed Select Comfort has to offer. For me it's the perfect amount of cushy pillowtop & firm air support. It really is the best of both worlds. It's the bed I recommend to my friends & family because I think it provides the most comfort along with the best price!"

magic bed
Date: February 2, 2008
"i seriously do call it "our magic bed" every day! when we go away we always comment how we can't wait to get back to our magic bed. we know it will make us feel better in an instant! it was the best way to spend our wedding money, especially since he likes a way-too-soft waterbed-type mattress (25), and i prefer much more firm (60-80), there was no way we could have agreed on any other bed! we are so pleased!"

WOW
Date: January 16, 2008
"WOW..What a bed, have never slept so good. I have had problems sleeping for quit a while - tossing and turning, back pain, hurt so bad at times had to get up and sleep in my recliner- would sleep about 1 1/2 hours and wake up and the could only doze waking 4-5 times every night...NOW I sleep all the through, don't toss and turn and no more back pain. I got the adjustable 5000 - I raise the head about 6 inches and set to 70..fantastic-found my number first night. I found the comercials hard to believe, but after no sleeping for months decided to try the bed...WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG..ALL I CAN SAY IS -----WOW---WHAT A BED."

Sleeping like a king
Date: December 16, 2007
"After trying to figure out why I slept so well in some motels, I started to examine their construction and then upgrade my bedding at home. Along with a high end down comforter, 600 thread count sheets, a light blanket between top sheet and comforter, I also bought the setect comfort 5000 air mattress and a select comfort down pillow. Call me crazy, but this configuration has changed my life. I get to sleep almost immediately, seldom wake up in the middle of the night, sleep a full 7 to 8 hours and awake very rested. I think this mattress is very important, but would recommend all the upgrades I mentioned to anyone wanting a superior sleep experience. I think your comfort is related to softness and support as well as body temperature regulation. This mattress takes care of the softness and support, but the down pillow and down comforter assist your body to regulate it's temperature. The 600 thread sheets permit free movement and the light blanket between sheets and comforter promote softness. I did not try out the 6000 or 7000 series but wish I had."

love it but....
Date: November 23, 2007
"my pillowtop has gone flat making the bed not quite as comfortable and it is unbelieveable after paying the initial price of the bed what the extra cost for a replacement cover will be. I recently purchased a second bed for my daughter and can not believe the amount of money these beds cost in the long run. Needless to say I do like my bed and wouldn't have any other but am floored at what I have recently discovered about the cost of maintenance."

The Best Darn Bed Period!
Date: November 15, 2007
"I am writing this review to tell you just how impressed I am with your product. When it comes to proper support for the body, there is no such thing as a good spring mattress. There is no better bed than the Sleep Number Bed. The air chamber design supports my body perfectly, no matter how firm or soft I need it, and having the ability to adjust the firmness for each individual side, makes the bed universal. Thank you so much for your wonderful product!"

Bed for Life
Date: November 10, 2007
"My husband and I LOVE this bed. He HAD back problems before this bed entered our life 2 years ago. Being able to adjust each side was invented by a genius. We both now love going to bed. I think anyone who buys a traditional bed is wasting money. I highly recommend this bed for everyone as it's everything they claim."

"Half love the bed, half not so much. Love that my side is very firm while my husband's is very soft. But we've found that the bed is VERY hot. It's down to 30 degrees F at night here now, and we're still only sleeping with a sheet -- anything more and we're sweating our butts off. If Select Comfort would correct this problem, it would be the perfect bed."

Great bed
Date: November 2, 2007
"We were unsure that the bed would live up to its hype, but it has really made a huge difference to the quality of sleep we get. The ability to adjust the settings independently of one another is great - we both get a great night's sleep with no backache! We did have one problem with the bed, but a call to customer service got the problem fixed very easily without hassle. Love the bed!"

Wedding present to ourselves
Date: November 1, 2007
"My wife and I bought the expanded queen 5000 and foundation 5 1/2 years ago as a wedding present to ourselves. We have had a few quality problems (the foundation cracked and the top foam pad wore down a bit), but they were quick replaced with re-engineered parts that seem to have solved the issues. From what I've read, the more recent models are improved in terms of quality.
I don't think we would have enjoyed married life as much with a bed that didn't adjust for each person. I'm bigger and heavier than my wife, and I prefer a firmer mattress, so a traditional bed would have been way too hard for her or far too mushy for me. When she got pregnant, we really appreciated that she could make the bed even softer for sleep and re-inflate it to help her out of bed in the morning. Sometimes, when my back starts acting up, I've found that making my side a bit more firm helps me sleep better.
I can't think of a better present than a good night's sleep."

Great Support
Date: October 29, 2007
"I have had bad back problems and my bed made my back pains worse. When I heard the claims in the ad that the Select Comfort bed would help ease back pains by providing the needed support while I slept, I figured I would try out the bed and see if it would in fact support my back and lead to a better night's sleep. The Select Comfort bed lived up to the ad and now I have no problems sleeping at night, and my back problems are not made worse by the bed. Great bed and I would and have recommended one to everyone."

"I put off buying a Select Comfort for too long. I should have done it sooner. The bed is highly adjustable for both people. Pick your own firmness setting. I was happy to find a new motorhome that has a Select Comfort and bought it. Now we are comfortable in either home."

Back Feels Great
Date: October 27, 2007
"Just had my second back surgery and I am so glad that we purchased this bed!!! Seriously, depending upon how my back feels on any given day - I just have to adjust my side of the bed and I sleep all night. I've told people about how great the bed is and now we all have lengthy conversations about how well we sleep."
