Select Comfort Mattress Sleep Number 5000

Pros: None..I can't find one thing I like about this bed except easy to change sheets
Cons: It takes me an hour to lose the stiffness in my body. Do not buy.

Do not buy this over priced air mattress. I have had one for 6 years. it was bought cause my back hurt on regular mattress.  I still don't know my number. If you blow it up too high, your arms and top of body hurt. if it is too low, your lower back hurts.  I wish we never bought this bed. It loses air as you sleep.  This is such a scam. I am tiny too , so you would think I would have had a better chance at liking it. Even my nurse hates this bed..lol.  That is bad.  My spine has gotten worse since we bought this bed. My husband keeps his low and if he gets up I actually fall into a whole. I can also feel the middle seperation in it if i do get closer to hubby's side. I wasted money and i am very disappointed in this investment. We are noe looking for a new bed, prob a coil one again. Don't waste your money or a goodnight's sleep.

Pros: Someone came and set up the bed for me.
Cons: The warranty is valid within one year/

This bed is horrible. It is run by a remote control. If you have any electircal items in your house, like a TV remote or cell phones or alarm clocks or computers, well your Sleep Number bed will be AFFECTED!! I can set my number with the Bed remote, set it down, get into bed and the number HAS CHANGED!!!!! All of the "radio wave type items in your home will mess with your bed.  I wake up every morning on a different number and serious BACK PAIN!!!!!!!Even if one of your neighbors remote controls can affect you************ Now I have back pain***

Pros: I wish I could Think of a pro but I can't.
Cons: Leaves a hollow in the mattress and affects the other person when you move.

We find this bed to be much less than advertised. When you look at our bed it looks like two depressed bowls. I have had no better sleep nor relief from back pain. We are extremely disappointed and thinking about going to a regular mattress. The only suggestion we have received is to blow up the mattress every day to get rid of the depressions. We would then have to readjust back every night. Great suggestion!!! I cringe every time I see their ads on tv. They should not be allowed to use such outrageous claims. This is the sleep number bed.

Pros: nothing
Cons: everything

Sleep number bed buy select is garbage. I've own mine since 2002 and its falling apart the base and the mattress. Customer Service (the last woman I talked to was nasty and rude. If you pay 1400 dollars for a mattress and its garenteed to last 20 yrs. they should do something about it.

Pros: Adjutable level of firmness
Cons: Way over priced.  Misleading return policy. Poor suctomer service.

Overpriced for basically an air mattress with foam around the outside.  Seems to me the price of the bed is what is paying for their advertising and so they can have a presence in your local mall.  Their return policy is misleading.  They lead you to believe that you get a 30 day trial.  I have serious back issues and I was led to this bed for 2 reasons; 1 adjustability, 2 in home trial.  Had I know that it was going to cost $400 to have it sent back I would have never gone through with it.  The worst part is, I had them haul away my old mattress, part of what I was led to believe was a free home delivery, etc...  Unless you are really sure this is the bed you want and you've slept on it other places, i.e. family, hotel, etc... don't do it. 

Lesson learned the hard way for me.

** Oh, but then they want you to keep the bed so they're willing to take money off the price when you call to schedule a return.

Pros: Easy to set up
Cons: too many to list

I switched from a memory foam mattress (which was a bad matterss) to a Slect Comfort 5000. The ordering process, deliver and set up was a breeze. I spent weeks trying to find my ideal number and spent many nughts exploring each number 50, 55, 60,65...90, 95.
I'm a side sleeper and each number made me feel like I was sleeping in a hammock. If you've ever tried to sleep on your side in a hammock you'll know what I mean. Each monring I awoke with terrible back pains and it took the better part of the day to straighten myself up.
After 4 months I switched back to an inner-spring and all my back problems disappeared in less than a week.
After trying both a memory foam and a Sleep number I can homestly say, an inner-spring is the best option for a side sleeper like me.

Pros: Good marketing system. Product sounds wonderful and I always liked Lindsay Wagner.
Cons: Product does not live up to the hype.

I purchased a queen size sleep number bed about a year ago. In all honesty it's the most uncomfortable mattresses I've ever owned. You may be able to get a good nights sleep if you have bionic parts like the company's spokes person, Lindsay Wagner, but if you still have the human spine you were born with it's very difficult to get a good nights sleep. My number one complaint is that the air mattresses are too narrow. No matter what setting you select, you end up getting pushed to foam separator that lies between the two mattresses. My number two complaint is that the company called me two days after the bed was set up to survey my opinion. Not really enough time to tell. If they value their quality, they should have called back for a second survey after about 6 months. I'm going back to a conventional mattress.

Pros: None
Cons: expensive piece of junk

I thought I slept bad before buying this bed, but it has been much worse since sleeping on this bed. I wouldn't waste the money! I have had it for about 6 months and wish I had taken it back when we had the chance but they told me it might take a while to get used to. My husband hates the bed too.

The bed is just an overpriced air mattress with a cheap frame! It makes a ton of noise and is hard to get out of the bed and it is very frustrating to set your number only to wake up in the middle of the night and have to re-adjust the number.

Pros: The adjustable feature is nice.  The pump continues to work after 9 years. 
Cons:   Feels like a cheap air mattress that you use when you campout. 

I liked this mattress at first.  I have owned it for 9 years.  It is really a glorified air mattress. It squeaks terribly at the tiniest movement.  For the same amount of money, I wish that I had purchased a standard mattress. The squeaking noise at every move is incredibly annoying and disruptive to a good nights sleep.  It is not very comfortable, even when you change settings.

Pros: extremely comfortable
Cons: What to do with an expensive memory foam mattress?

Last year I bought a memory foam pillowtop mattress and have woken up with morning back pain ever since. A week ago I bought a top of the line sleep number bed and have woken up rested and pain free. Can't beleive I had to suffer for over a year because of a mattress. Thanks sleep number for giving me the best night sleep ever. Stevan Fry Dade City Fl.
