Select Comfort Mattress Sleep Number 5000

Pros: Comfortable Adjustable Can be cleaned inside/out, unlike traditional beds
Cons: Cost... but it is still competitive with other specialty beds.

I slept on one of these beds at a Radisson and really loved it. I was REALLY sick with the flu at the time and it felt like heaven. So, I decided to start researching beds. I read many reviews and checked lots of prices, ultimately settling on this bed. ...

Pros: none
Cons: uncomfortable, lousy customer service and once you receive you will realize it's way overpriced.

We purchased this 5000 model 6 weeks ago and ever since I have had terrible back pain. I am almost 40 and have slept on waterbeds and innersprings (this 5000 replaced a 2 year old Sterns and Foster) and have never had back pain before. It is miserable ...

Pros: Easy Installation, Dual Adjustable Comfort Zones, Comfortable, light weight
Cons: None

Prior to buying our bed we read various reviews on them. My summary and conclusions: People primarily fall into two camps: They love or hate the bed. People who hated the bed tended to be large; tall and/or heavy (not necessarily fat--I don't have ...

Pros: Nice for a while
Cons: Terrible after a couple of years, sinks in the middle, poor customer support

This bed is great at first, but after a couple of years it sinks in the middle , bows out at the edges, and you find yourself rolling into the trench. It seems like most of the positive reviews of this bed are from people who have had the bed for less ...

Pros: Great Support Not foamy feeling fair price for 20 years of use!
Cons: Fit of foundation a little off. Don't expect miracles, but they are possible.

I came to this forum to look up reactions to the bed before purchasing, and a lot of them seemed negative. However, I think that is to be expected, as if someone is happy with the product they don't take the time to praise it, they go on with their happy ...

Pros: Adjustable firmness, dual chambers good for couples
Cons: Price, cheap construction, not any better than the $300 mattress I replaced

My fiance and I purchased this bed back in January 2003 after both of us had been suffering from back pain. We paid $2000 for our bed. It was shipped to us at no charge in about 10 separate boxes and it was fairly easy to assemble. However, the...

Pros: It's a rectangle.
Cons: If one person's side is higher, you feel like you are sleeping on a hill.

What a sap I am! I got mesmerized by the infomercial and bought a sleep number bed. My back has never hurt more than it does now. I have two herniated discs (T11 and T12) and thought this would help my back. I paid about 1600 dollars, which is a lot ...

Pros: Individual control of firmness
Cons: Sizing sheets properly can be a challenge

We purchased our Select Comfort Queen-set (mattress / foundation / rail) in May 2002. A few nights ago we noticed the bed was listing a bit starboard. When we pulled the bed apart to inspect the foundation, we found a small support tab on one of the ...

Pros: lightweight - it's very easy to move the bed
Cons: Sags, squeaks, controls don't adjust properly. It's uncomfortable.

This was actually our second Select Comfort Bed. We had a double Select Comfort and liked it except for 1 thing - the sides of the double bed sag. The double beds do not have an extra layer of siding foam like the queen and kings. Because they have the ...

Pros: Good mattress when two people differ on their likes.
Cons: Frequent breakdowns. Need spare bed, big bank account, and strong back.

We have had our Select Comfort mattress for 3 years. We bought it after my husband had open heart surgery to help him be more comfortable and thus, to sleep better. First we had to have a bladder (the blow-up part of the mattress) replaced and now we ...

Pros: Comfort. No risk of spring compression or dips. Better than TempurPedic
Cons: None, other than maybe price

I had conventional innerspring mattress for several years. About three years ago I started waking up with back pain. The mattress was too compressed at my hip, and my back was getting out of alignment at night. I sleep on my side. We eventually ...

Pros: Hollow Box- cat can stand up under bed- no gauze to shred, light to move
Cons: back hurts, sale return too hard, company doesn't respond to mildew issues, reduced hubby spooning

I bought my Select Comfort bed about 5 years ago. We had trouble with our old mattress sagging so we thought "Let's buy a Select Comfort- then if it sags we just pump it up!" Brilliant! We bought it on-line and it was delivered to our front door in ...

Pros: The ability to try different firmness settings for an entire night is really effective.

Cons: Bed tends to "hammock" at the softer levels.

BACKGROUND My wife and I are both on the far side of 60, and have tried lots of mattresses. Our typical experience has been to do the "what feels good in the store" five minute test, and then discover at home that either one or both of us is ...

Pros: Lightweight Good financing terms
Cons: Very uncomfortable and hot Does not work as advertised

My wife and I bought this bed back in December 2004. After four months on it, we'd much rather throw the whole thing in the trash and forget about it. We bought it because my wife had increasing back pain from our old mattress, and we thought that from ...

Pros: NONE
Cons: HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, DECEPTIVE SALES TACTICS, NO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION GUARANTEE,

I bought a Cal King Select Comfort 5000 bed almost a year ago. In that time, I've contacted Customer Service numerous occasions because I started having back and waist problems since I purchased the bed; of course this is after the 30 trial period. The ...
