Select Comfort offers 400 locations throughout the United States. Customers can go into the store, speak to sleep number experts and learn their personal sleep number. This process is ideal for couples seeking a mattress that is adjustable for their differing needs. The cost of a Sleep Number bed varies based on the model of mattress chosen.

Because the Sleep Number mattresses are expensive, Select Comfort offers financing to facilitate the purchases. Costs range between $700 for the non-digital Queen c2 model to nearly $5,000 for the top of the line i10 model mattress. Each mattress comes with a:

• 20-year limited warranty
• 30-night trial
• Lightweight, component design
• No-tool assembly

Consumers must qualify for the financing before being able to take advantage of the 30-night trial. Setting up the mattress at home is fairly straightforward. The mattresses will fit on most standard-sized beds, queen or king.

Select Comfort allows you to make purchases via their online web store as well as in their stores. Customers should try to visit the Select Comfort store prior to purchasing. The customer service experts in the store can answer most questions, help you find out what your sleep number is and demonstrate how the mattresses work.

In-store purchases also give you a more realistic look at the mattress. Advertised as ideal for couples, different sleep number settings can determine different firmness levels. Adjusting the firmness (Sleep Number) and combining it with memory foam (higher end mattresses) can provide you with the ideal comfort level.

The average mattress is replaced after five years. Couples typically flip the mattress every six to ten months to help smooth out lumps and dips in the mattress. Firm mattresses can became less supportive over time while soft mattresses can develop permanent, misshapen dips. These problems are common and can affect your quality of sleep.

Consumer reviews for the product are mixed. Sleep Number 5000 received a solid 2.5 (out of 5.0) based on 250 reviews at ePinions.

Consumer complaints included:

• Not a plush pillow top; air chambers lose air over time

Consumer praise included:

• Customer service is great

Potential buyers can also request a DVD explaining the benefits of the bed or visit a Select Comfort store to receive a demonstration from a consultant. The Sleep Number bed is not for everyone. Do your research and check into complaints and reviews before making your purchase. Remember that you have a 30-day option for testing the mattress at home.
