Select Comfort Beds Problems and Benefits

Sleep Number bed reviews can help you decide whether or not Select Comfort Sleep by Number beds are worth the cost. These beds are sold at Sleep Number bed stores or factory outlets and receive some very positive reviews as well as a considerable number of complaints.


Select Comfort beds possess the distinctive characteristic of enabling you to change the firmness of your mattress to help you get the very best night's rest.

Consumers who bought these beds have found that they can "sleep by number", or determine their own firmness level by adjusting the air pressure inside their Sleep Number mattress.

Sleep Number Beds

Select Comfort mattresses are also known as Sleep Number beds. In contrast to most conventional beds, Sleep Number mattresses use cleverly engineered air chambers.

These air bed mattresses may be independently fine-tuned on either side of the bed to your preference for firmness. Changing the "Sleep Number" in a range from zero to one hundred sets the amount of firmness and support.

The C2, C3, and C4 Select Comfort bed models all come with adjustable firmness controls that let you change the softness on each side of the bed.

All the mattresses come with a plush, soft to the touch cover. The C4 model has a 10 inch mattress and a pillow top cover.

For basic Sleep Number mattresses, customers enjoy the affordable price of the Classic Series. These beds feature thinner mattresses and fewer features than the more costly models.

Prices are from $1000 and top out at $2000 for a C4 California king.

Sleep Number Performance Series

Slightly higher in price are the Select Comfort beds in the Performance Series. This line of Sleep Number mattresses are all covered with a breathable rayon top.

They also employ a European pillow top surface. Prices for this line range from $2000 up to about $3000.

The most popular Select Comfort bed is the Sleep Number p5 bed. It is eleven inches thick and comes with three separate layers of material for ultimate support.

It ranges in price from $1200 to $2200 depending on the size.

Consumers like the P5 for its wireless remote adjustment system. They also say that the bed doesn't make them feel hot when they sleep, even if they select the softest sleep number.

In fact, all the Sleep by Number beds in the Performance Series are lauded for their breathability.

People who like the feel of memory foam but want the flexibility of a Sleep Number bed will be happy to know that the P7 comes with a 3 inch layer of memory foam on the top of the bed.

Sleep Number Innovation Series

If you are looking for the ultimate in Select Comfort mattresses, you should check out the Innovation Series of Sleep Number beds.

Priced between $3000 to $5000, this series goes above and beyond the earlier Sleep Number mattress models to bring you the most personalized sleep comfort you have ever experienced.

The material on top of the I8, I9, and I10 are all designed to wick away moisture and keep you cool as you sleep. Most consumers agree that this technology does work.

These mattresses are all also very thick, up to twelve inches, and covered with memory foam toppers.

The Innovation Series is generally for people who like a firmer night's sleep. Even with the Sleep Number system remote, the softest setting on this line is firmer than the softest setting on the Classic and Performance Series.

However, the Innovation Series provides exceptional support and many happy customers have reported a reduction in their back pain after sleeping on the mattress for a few weeks.

All Select Comfort beds let you have a thirty day in home trial after which you can return the bed free of charge if you are not satisfied.

The exceptional comfort provided by an individually adjustable mattress makes Select Comfort beds one of the best choices for a good night's sleep.

Consumers have reported problems with air leaks in the mattress and failure of the air pump. Another concern is the handling of warranty claims.

Trying to return the bed or asking for a refund has been a source of difficulty for customers.

Sleep Number Classic Series Special Edition

The Classic Special Edition Bed is noted for taking advantage of the unique benefits of the Select Comfort mattress.

It features the enhanced luxury of exclusive contouring comfort material and the Whisper-quiet Firmness Control System, which is unique to Sleep Number beds.

This model features a Sleep Number mattress with a 10-inch European style pillow top. It also comes with a silky smooth woven surface that is ideal for sleeping.

The Special Edition is one of the Sleep Number beds with a full 1.5-inch exclusive Intralux comfort material that responds quickly as a sleeper moves.

There are five unique zones in the mattress that naturally and comfortably support the human body's natural curves. Standard retail price is about $1,400.

Sleep Number Waterbed Mattress Replacement

Waterbed Replacement is among the most reasonably priced and popular Sleep Number mattress models available.

As the name implies, this Select Comfort bed could truly serve as a replacement for any waterbed sleep set.

This bed model features an 11-inch European style pillow top with a super soft knit that is breathable enough to facilitate comfort.

There is also a two-inch exclusive Intralux comfort material that responds quickly to sleeper's movements. Three unique zones provide natural support to users' natural body curves.

A three-inch riser system is included in every Queen and King size Waterbed Replacement bed. Unlike all other Sleep Number mattress models, this one lacks a foundation and solid or flat surfaces that resemble common waterbeds.

Standard retail price is about $1,600.

A 20-year warranty is applied to Select Comfort mattresses. The brand warrants that its mattress and foundation will be free from any significant defects, both in workmanship and in materials.

The Sleep Number bed reviews we have gathered often question the high price for what essentially is an air mattress. Despite this, Select Comfort mattresses are recommendable. The main point of concern for consumers is the possibility of air leaks and failure of the air pump mechanism.

Whether you prefer a p5 Sleep Number by Bed, the Classic Special Edition Bed, a Sleep Number Waterbed Mattress Replacement bed, or other models from the brand, you can be sure you are choosing a good bed.

The minor issues found in Sleep Number bed reviews are outweighed by the unique features and individualized comfort settings.
