Select Comfort Mattress Sleep Number 5000

Pros: Soft yet supportive, comfortable
Cons: Prorated warranty, customer service needs slight improvement, high priced, flat pillowtop

I have been sleeping on a Sleep Number Bed now for over 7 years. I originally bought a king size (when I was married) and now have a queen size. My opinion in the beginning was nothing but pure satisfaction. Now for the last couple years not so much so. ...

Pros: separate adjustable sides with smooth transition between, lightweight, quiet pump with number settings
Cons: expensive, doesn't get quite firm enough for someone who likes a very, very firm mattress

My husband and I purchased a queen-sized Sleep Number 5000 mattress in March of this year. This web site was extremely helpful in making that decision and I want to give back by posting a review myself, particularly because I have a few comments that I ...

Pros: Adjustable for each person, doesn't have to be flipped and has a 20 year warranty.
Cons: Price. Components appear cheap. Mattress is hot.

My husband first heard about this mattress when listening to a radio talk show host rave about his sleep number bed. Our mattress was getting pretty worn and we were not getting as good a sleep as we had before. The concept of the select comfort bed ...

Pros: Good customer service.
Cons: Bed just was not comfortable at all for us.

The Sleep Number bed is actually what brought me to this site most recently, and is what made me decide to join Epinions! The following experience with this bed/company will be written as factual as possible. We have a good friend who has had his ...

Pros: no flipping, easy to use
Cons: flimsy parts, just an air mattress

I have the 5000 model extended queen sized bed. Seemed great in the store, but actually sleeping on it (as opposed to laying on it for 10 minutes) was a much different. First, let me comment on the installation. I was flabbergasted when I saw them ...

Pros: Returnable (though costly to do!)
Cons: Thirty day trial period is far from "free" Way overpriced - glorified air mattress

If only I had known what a hassle (and how expensive) it would be to "try" this bed for 30 days, I would never have done it (and I went the cheapest way possible...setting it up myself and taking it down, stuffing it back into the original boxes, and ...

Pros: The bed is light weight; it's easy to make up.
Cons: Cheap construction, bad engineering, uncomfortable beyond words.

Last night I read through the reviews of the Select Comfort bed-- a life-changing event as it turns out. I want to thank Epinions for this forum, and everyone who wrote reviews of this bed. If you are considering a Select Comfort bed, please read all of ...

Pros: Easy to adjust, clean, move and setup
Cons: Not for couples, expensive

You'll either love it or hate it, guaranteed. This is a neat idea that fails in the premise of providing each individual a perfect night sleep. I like the bed a lot and have yet to wake up with back pain as I have on any other mattress I've slept on. ...

Pros: Adjustable firmness Separate controls for left and right Comfortable
Cons: Rolling towards the center Not a cureall for poor sleep Firmness varies Price!

After months of restless nights, I finally broke down and bought this bed, hoping it would solve my ...

Pros: Best sleep we've had. Can adjust the bed to your moods. Independent adjustment.
Cons: Expensive! Materials MUCH cheaper than cost of bed. Not great for stomach or side sleepers.

My wife and I had been sleeping on a Seally Queen mattress that she had bought before we were married (about 5 years ago). Two pregnancies later, and my wife had been experiencing some severe back pains in the morning. Even though I could sleep on a log, ...

Pros: Separate firmness settings. Lightweight, easy to change sheets. Easy to wash all materials.
Cons: User Manual could be improved on. No other complaints.

Separate firmness settings for you and your partner. Lightweight, easy to change sheets, no mattress flipping/rotation ever required. Very comfortable and strong. Easy to wash all materials and eliminate any potential allergens and dust mites. ...

Pros: Easy assembly, good idea (in theory), fast delivery. Turns out it's easy to return too.
Cons: Really expensive and just not comfortable.

UPDATE: Oct. 9, 2006 Just wanted to update this review to note that returning this bed was exceptionally easy and painless. About 3 weeks into my 30 day trial I called and told the people at Select Comfort that the bed caused me back pain and that I ...

Pros: It was nice the first few years.
Cons: The foam pieces deteriorate, roll toward the center, fall off the sides. Now MOLD problem.

We purchased a sleep number bed 7 years ago. It is a queen wiht a pillow top. The first few years it slept pretty well. In fact, I used to say it ruined my night's sleep if we slept anywhere else (travelling). We've had to replace the air pump. the ...

Pros: Comfortable, quiet pump, expanded queen fits std queen wood frame and is roomy
Cons: Pillowtop on this closeout model is sometimes hot

We purchased the Sleep Number 5000 pillowtop closeout bed with two wired remotes by Select Comfort. We both love it and think its the most comfortable bed on which we've ever slept. We purchased an innerspring queen set when we got married, about 4 and ...

Pros: Very Comfortable, looks just like a normal bed. Controls are easy to use.
Cons: Air pump is just a bit noisy, bed takes some getting used to.

I do not yet own one of these beds, but thought I'd give you a review of my initial reaction after having slept on one for a night. A little about myself: I'm a single Male, age 41. I'm just shy of 6 feet tall, and weigh close to 300 lbs. Some ...
