Sorry no recent experience - we've had ours forever - still going strong.

We too have had our forever but I feel that it could used "refreshed". I am slightly intrigued by an adjustable bed model.

I had a coworker that got one that uses the app and her DH did not know that. Since we go to work very early in the am she used to mess with him by changing his bed. We all got a good laugh out of that.

Let us know what you find out.

We replaced our 23 year old Sleep Number bed with a new one earlier this year. We weren’t interested in the split sides where the head and/or feet can be raised and lowered. We just wanted a basic bed and told the salesman that. He had us try their bottom-line and next up models and did not pressure us to go to the more expensive models.

Technology is way better - the old bed had a loud and slow pump sitting on the floor. New ones have a smaller, faster, nearly silent pump in a compartment in the foundation. No hoses exposed, just the electrical cord where it comes out of the base.

I played with the app for a couple of weeks then decided I didn’t want the unsecure wifi connection any more. Getting it offline was a challenge - I ended up having to delete the app because even their customer service people didn’t know how to disconnect it.

We ended up buying two of their contour pillows which we love. All in all we’re very happy with our new investment and hope we get 20+ years out of this one.

Are these beds simply air mattresses for which the pressure is adjustable?

@Elmer J Fudd - not simply an air mattress as one of those would have sprung a leak many years ago. Even my relatively expensive aerobed sprung a leak after very limited use.

My sister and BIL have two of them, but they have had both for several years so not a "smart bed", I'm sure. They started out with one in their primary home and then put one in their vacation home. They love them.

Does it have an inflatable air bladder or inner springs or another of support?

Elmer, I also did not know what te bed is, so I just googled it and it is "essentially a glorified air mattress" with an air bladder and pump.

"essentially a glorified air mattress"

I was wondering about that myself, esp if it gave the feeling/vibe of an air mattress. Like a water bed has a unmistakable feel to it. Probably too old to switch now.

My husband and I have had them for years. He can adjust his side for his needs and I can be as soft as I want. There is a soft wall in the center separating the sides so you need to pick a side for woopie! I would never go back to a regular mattress!

Tootsie, we're not able to go back either. We placed our order today and are very excited for it to arrive!

Mine stops me from noring, nothing else . Doesn't help me sleep. But not snoring is just fine with me; helps hubby sleep and I can go away on "girls weekends" without bothering anyone.

We got one about a year ago. Split king so we can adjust independently. I like the adjustable aspect as I have asthma and am often more comfortable with my head elevated. Also comfortable for reading in bed. We got the M7 which has a memory foam top. My husband's back and hips have been much more comfortable on this bed also. We are happy with it. We also have high end air mattress on a frame for overflow guests and this is NOTHING like that.

I want to get one of these. Have thought about it for many years. My latest mattress has a giant dip in it. Kills my back. I like a super hard mattress.

We have had our about 5 years. We got it with the cool topper. My only regret is I wished I had gotten the adjustable bed so I could sit up a bit to sleep. Ours is a king and DH can adjust his side softer as I prefer it firmer. We love it.

jmck_nc, we also got the split king with adjustable head, foot and foot warmer (squeeeel....so excited since my feet are always cold!). Do you have any recommendations as far as sheets are concerned (thinking about the adjustable function of the bed); do they stay on when head and foot of bed are raised and lowered?

It's hard to imagine how the SN could be more comfortable than an AeroBed (which is pretty bad but better than the floor). Does it have air filled compartments rather than being one big blow-up?

whatsayyou, We bought the sheets from the sleep number store. The fitted sheets have extra elastic at the corners to keep them in place when adjusting the bed. I find them to be of good quality and around the same price as comparable sheets. I'm jealous of your heated feet! I considered that option but ultimately decided against. Seemed like a lot of money for the feature. Enjoy!

Now that you mention it, jmck, I do recall noticing the high quality of the elastic on the SN sheets. I was hoping to purchase bottom sheets only as our sheets are relatively new but I'll revisit the SN sets. Thanks very much!

@llitm we don't have a SN bed, but we have an adjustable base. The base is what moves, basically "bending" the mattress. I don't know about SN, but our mattress is thick and I get deep pocket sheets and they have wide elastic with a band of elastic that goes across corners. Sadly, I do not recall what brand they are - purchased on Amazon. They were low in cost, so I bought a couple of neutral colors that would work with top sheets we had (and I liked!). The sheets only come in sets, but again, low cost. I also bought some deep pocket sheets at bed, bath, beyond that I believe are wamsutta brand. You might want to check those sites.

Also, my problem came with the bedskirt, as I do like a bedskirt on our beds. The base is what moves so I was afraid a bedskirt would constantly need adjusting. Plus, our mattress is pretty heavy and didn't want to deal with that when taking skirt off/on. I had a bedskirt custom made that goes on the edge of the base (top edge) with velcro. Just in case you are interested. I do love the adjustable base.

I made a bedskirt for our current bed exactly as you described, TM. We may forgo a bedskirt with the new bed. DH is a woodworker and we are considering a platform frame for the new bed. TBD. ;)

Off to checkout A's options. Thanks so much for your thoughts, TM!!

You are more than welcome!
