If you’re thinking about purchasing a Sleep Number bed mattress, but don’t have time to scroll through hundreds of reviews, you won’t want to miss this round up of Sleep Number bed reviews from some tech savvy, smart-shopping, and sharp-eyed Viewpoints members. “The machine pumps air in the bed all night long to keep it at your number…I can hear it and then I can’t sleep! You know how when you go to sleep on a camping air mattress it gradually deflates…the pumps stop this but do you really want to hear the machine turning off and on all night?” – busycharles, Reviewer since 2007 “My husband and I were TOLD by the sales person that we would be able to sleep on this bed for 30 nights and then for ANY reason we were not completely satisfied the bed would be PICKED UP. We were not happy with the bed and when we called to arrange a return we were told we would have to pay $29.95 per shipping label to ship the bed back in 5 boxes!
We already had to unpack and put it together ourselves…now we have to take it down, pack it up (without the aid of shrink wrapping) and pay almost $150.00 to send it back, besides having to take it to a UPS facility.” - rsvr29, Reviewer since 2010 “Sleep number firmness is misleading. The counter-force to support your weight is due to the elasticity of the mattress walls not air compression. I found the sleep number bed to not vary in firmness. Air simply moves around from one area to another. The firmness is the same regardless of the number. There is no bounce to the bed. Just air.” - ajbisesi , Reviewer since 2012 “I would recommend that when purchasing this, or any other Sleep Number bed, double check the number of air chambers in the bed. My husband and I were led to believe that the bed would have dual air chambers, one for each side of the bed so that we can adjust it to our own preferences. The bed they gave us only had one air chamber.” – SaraBethD985, Reviewer since 2009
“ I purchased a Queen. But queen sheets do not fit this bed. It is slightly larger than a standard Queen and I am sure that their own brand of sheets fit just fine, except I don’t want their sheets. The sheets that I buy (even deep pocket sheets) pop off at the corners all the time. “ - residae, Reviewer since 2010You are supposed to air up the bed to 100% when your not in it for it to keep its shape. Otherwise it will sag just like any other foam bed.” - sleepnumber000, Reviewer since 2013 “Apparently, there is a 10-year warranty, but the parts are covered goes down a percentage every year. So, to get a new pump it cost me $130. Break the wireless remote and you are looking at $50 plus tax and shipping! It isn’t covered under the warranty.” - pitcherday , Reviewer since 2009 “I bought the c2 series sleep number bed about six months ago. Since I bought the cheapest model, it doesn’t actually come with a remote that tells you what your number is.
You just inflate it, lay down and deflate until it feels comfortable.” – LisaLMB , Reviewer since 2010 “The biggest issue we had was that mold started growing inside the air chamber and all over some of the gray foam inside the mattress. I kept getting sick (allergies & cold type symptoms), which finally led us to look at everything around us to start eliminating possible sources of allergens. That’s when we found the mold & mildew.” - psychoanalyst , Reviewer since 2010 “If you want to breath in flame retardants that are offgassing from your mattress, all night, every night, then by all means, buy this mattress. We had this for about a week and it smelled bad like chemicals.” - woolmama, Reviewer since 2010 While these Sleep Number Bed reviews bring some little known facts about Sleep Number bed mattresses to light, keep in mind that every consumer has a different experience.
