| jgilliam1955's Full Review: Select Comfort Sleep Number 4000 Traditional Bed |
This king size bed was replacing a 7 year old queen size Select comfort. The queen never gave us any trouble. When we moved the queen into the guest room the bed was just like brand new. When I unpacked the king foundation I was surprised to see such a cheap foundation. It is plastic. It feels & looks cheap. The Queen had a PVC foundation which felt strong & was very steady. I felt a elephant could stand on it. This king I wasn't sure it would hold our weight. But I told myself it is covered up & must work. The company must of found a cheaper way to make a foundation & but kept the price up. It was easy to put together thanks to my son-in-law. The box did not have any instructions in the box, but we saw instructions on the box. So we tried to follow them. It was not the same bed. Once together we opened the Mattress box & found the instructions. Oh well, the cheap foundation was together & it was covered up. The rest of the bed went together very well. We bought our own 3 inch memory foam just like we did the queen years earlier. We had a very nice sleep. I work shift work & it is nice knowing if I wake up I'll just fall back to sleep. Apart from the foundation we are happy with the bed.
UPDATE:
After a couple of months on this bed I have to change my view on the foundation. The older Queen Sleep number bed has a PVC material foundation as I mentioned. It does make noise if you got out of bed. This new one is light weight for putting it together & it makes no noise when you move around or get up. So I can see the wisdom of this material.
I am still sleeping very well & I am dreaming more. This is a very nice bed.
