Select Comfort Mattress Sleep Number 5000

Pros: Adjustable softness/firmness; 2 separate controls; 30 day return policy.
Cons: Expensive bed.

We've had the SC 5000 for 5 months now and could not be happier. We previously had a Stearns & Foster, which was old and had broken down. Then 2 yrs ago, we bought a King Koil, extra firm. It was so hard, we had to use a foam topper on it. Overall, ...

Pros: Quiet pump, attractive look.
Cons: Loses air, pressure changes due to cuddling/spooning causing painful sleep.

I've suffered from back pain for years. I had two discs removed from my lower back in 1998 and since then have struggled to find a comfortable bed. I've tried many brands that claim to help alleviate back pain. None of them really did. Then, on my ...

Pros: Comfortable, Cool, Adjustable firmness, price reasonable
Cons: Must be assembled, Must be delivered, 2 (two) year warranty

We ordered our Select Comfort 5000 Queen Size mattress to replace an 8 year old Chirotonic mattress we had. I have had back problems on and off for several years. I also tend to feel hot in bed. I was hesitant about ordering this mattress for mainly one ...

Pros: Seperate adjustable settings
Cons: Uneven, hot, loud, don't go near the middle!

I will keep this review short and sweet. I bought the bed because I saw the infomercial, and I had back pain. I thought I would give it a shot, and did. The first night, I noticed it was very uncomfortable. With the queen dual chamber bed, you end up ...

Pros: The in store demonstration hooked us into a purchase before we thought it through.
Cons: Once delivered, your on your own.

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS BED SYSTEM! Sleep comfort is not a customer satisfaction priority company. We are current users of the bed and have had nothing but problems with the bed and the customer service since the day of purchase. Instead of refunds, they ...

Pros: VERY comfortable - no back pain!
Cons: Can't cuddle up to sleep.

We’ve had our Select comfort bed for about a year now. It took a couple of weeks of testing to get it adjusted comfortably, and we still tweak it now and then. What we find funny is that we are usually within 5 points of each other, guess we’re ...

Pros: Deeper more efficient Sleep, Back Pain relief, superior comfort
Cons: You need to know how to adjust to your sleep number.

I have been sleeping on this bed for 4 years, and it is the most comfortable bed in the world. I now own 3 of them! My back used to hurt, and be out of place on the old innerspring mattress, and since I have been sleeping comfortably on this bed, my back...

Pros: Very nice in store sales representatives. It's a great concept.
Cons: Poor mattress topper materials but worse is the customer service.

I have been sleeping on the bed for about 16 days. Thought it was fantastic in the beginning but after about 6 nights I started noticing that the pillow top was beginning to dent where my hips rest and I was feeling the pressure point. I went to the ...

Pros: -Store salesman gave me 2 free pillows -In home trial for $$$ BACK
Cons: -very cheaply made product- MAKE salesman show you the INSIDE of bed!!!!

After calling the 800 and being CONSTANTLY MARKETED by the company (TONS of phone calls, circulars and post-cards), I decided to bite the bullet and waste close to $2000 on a sleep number 5000 bed. The salesman made me a little uneasy, but I decided to ...

Pros: none
Cons: flimpsy, slopes towards the middle, uncomfortable, expensive, can't send back easily and much much more

Let me save you a lot of time. Do not buy this bed. It is wrought with numerous problems and will be a real hassle to send back. I wish I had never gone to the Select Comfort Store. They told us this bed was suppose to last 30 years, but would you ...

Pros: Adjustable, durable, comfortable at first
Cons: hard center divider between air chambers; hard outer edges

During and after my pregnancy I developed shoulder pain when sleeping on my side. My entire arm would go completely numb until I flipped to my other side and so forth. Then earlier this spring, I developed severe pain and tightness in my upper back. I ...

Pros: Customer service
Cons: Sorry, everything else

Due to back problems I had to change from sleeping on my stomach to sleeping on my side. My old very hard mattress wasn't great for sleeping on my side. The Sleep Number seemed like just the thing as it is suppose to contour to your body. Well ...

Pros: Comfortable, no more back pain, great night's sleep
Cons: Too comfortable to get up in the morning!

My husband and I bought the 5000 bed with the pillow top and wireless control about two years ago. For those who don't know, the Select Comfort Sleep Number bed is an inflatable type of mattress with adjustable firmness/softness. It comes with a cover ...

Pros: I don't see any
Cons: Constant back pain

The sleep number bed is just a glorified aero mattress. Honestly, you would be better off if you buy a cheap aero mattress and spend another $100 for a pad on top of it. Seriously, I watched them assemble the bed and to my amusement I discovered ...

Pros: Outstanding customer service.
Cons: None

We bought a king 5000 bed in late April 2008, since our old queen mattress needed replacement. In addition to hearing good things about this mattress, it was also one of only a few types of king mattresses that would fit up our stairs (it comes in ...
