Select Comfort Mattress Sleep Number 5000

Pros: Adjustability: husband is a 65, and I'm a 30 ... so we're both happy.
Cons: hard center in the king's dual chamber bed

I had been researching the sleep number beds for several years, but was having a hard time justifying the add'l cost after reading review after review ... and it always seemed like they were 50 50. So I kept putting it off, not wanting to waste a lot of ...

Pros: Price, adjustability, ease of assembly, comfortable! Less lower back pain in AM.
Cons: Takes getting used to, one control for two people, weird smell in the beginning.

After many years with soft side waterbeds, my husband and I decided we were ready for a "real" bed. Through our travels we found several traditional mattresses we liked at hotels, namely Hilton, and also the Borgata in Atlantic City, both of which are ...

Pros: Easy to pack up & move
Cons: Foam barrier in the middle, inconsistent air pressure, more expensive version of coleman air mattress

My aunt owns a sleep number bed and loves it! I was expecting to sleep on clouds. I laid on the bed at the store and was impressed. So, when my husband and I decided to upgrade our queen pillow top, we decided to buy a sleep number. We had it ...

Pros:

It was comfortable for probably the first 6 months only

Cons:

Gets very worn in a short period of time, uncomfortable, and overpriced

My husband and I got suckered into buying one of these mattresses at the mall when we went shopping for a new bed. It was very comfortable at first, and we both found our "numbers" very quickly. As time passed, I started noticing lower back pain, ...

Pros: Excellent choice for two who need different firmness levels.
Cons: None noticed after five years.

I just recommended the Select Comfort Sleep Number bed (we have the Queen 5000) to a friend and was surprised to hear she had read bad reviews. In our mid-40s we both had difficulty sleeping because my husband had lower back trouble and I had hip pain. ...

Pros: No Flipping, Low to the ground,  Light weight and easy to make.
Cons: Uncomfortable,   30 trial period is NOT free.  You pay alot for it.

My husband and I needed a new mattress and we thought that the sleep number was the way to go.  We went to the store and got to try the beds out and had them go through what our sleep numbers were with the thermal technology they had.  I ...

Pros: None
Cons: It's a scam

Yes - its a scam and here is why:The Innovation lie: The advertising for this system suggests some kind of innovation in sleep systems. It suggest that the traditional inner spring system has been replaced with a sophisticated system that used air to ...

Pros: None
Cons: Overpriced, uncomfortable, lousy customer service, ripoff

Tried the sleep number bed in the showroom, it seemed ok, and with a 30 day "free" return policy it seemed like there was nothing to lose.  Boy were we wrong!  The bed was awful.  We'd set it to our sleep number, around 45-50.  Some ...

Pros: cant think of any at this point, very dissapointed
Cons: not durable, poorly made top pillow
hard to assemble, sags, 
deflates easily

I purchased the sleep number 5000 thru QVC about 7 years ago thinking it will be a great upgrade to my previous mattresses and was sold over the fact that is supposed to be the best thing for aching back, trouble sleeping. It was okay the 1st 3 ...

Pros: When it works, it is quite comfortable (a conventional mattress is also quite comfortable).
Cons: Poor quality, misleading warranty, poor customer service.

We purchased our queen size select comfort sleep number mattress as an expensive option in our brand new motorhome and have not been happy with the mattress or the customer service.  We are on our third issue and have not been able to get an ...

Pros: Don't have anything to say except I had a great sales person.
Cons: Won't hold air, uncomfortable, hot, etc.

Bought Sleep Number and the first day the right side would not inflate. Called Cust. Serv. and they told ME to fix it. They walked me through it...lol! I am 65 and I am not a mechanic. I found the hose was not connected and put it on. Day 21 and I ...

Pros: None.
Cons: Cheaply made product.
Over-hyed from marketing standpoint.
One of worst Customer Service experiences ever.

My wife and I purchased a 7000 Queen Dual Chamber Sleep Number bed from a store here in Charlotte, NC in March 2007. In less than 3 months, the pump failed and Customer Disservice shipped us a new pump.  The bed worked reasonably well ...

Pros: Very comfortable bed. Great customer service.
Cons: Watch that mold on older models!

I'm ashamed to say that it took me 7 years to check my bed, but I did and I as many other people have Black Mold. Lots of it. Interestingly enough I started with asthma in the winter time about 4 yrs ago or so. Never had allergies before that. It ...

Pros: I like the ability to customize the firmness of the mattress.
Cons: Too many warranty hoops to jump through.  Not worth it.  Very disappointed.

Initally the mattress was more than satisfactory.  Then a leak reared its ugly head.  A call to customer service produced nothing but run-a-round antics.  The lady asked me to unplug my mattress from the pump, then put a (company supplied) ...

Pros: Comfortable for 1-2 years.
Cons: All out of shape, middle caving in. Terrible

We have owned our sleep number bed for five years, for the first couple of years it worked out great and then slowly began to diminish. I'm large 250lbs, my wife is small 100 pounds. The bed is so out of shape now that she is sleeping on a futon ...
