Sleep Number Bed Advantages & Disadvantages

The Select Comfort Sleep Number bed is among the most sought after mattress brands today. Using variables like weight, height, sleep position and sleep surface preference, sleepers can choose from 100 ‘sleep number’ settings that will automatically adjust air chambers within the mattress and provide the support you need. Remember to consider the following advantages and disadvantages as you compare mattresses:

Sleep Number Advantages

The clearest advantage of a Select Comfort Sleep Number mattress is adjustability. Once your sleep number is determined, your Select Comfort bed will always maintain that number by filling up itself or releasing air. But if you want to adjust the firmness on your own, you can easily do that with the supplied remote control. Buyers can also choose between numerous familiar sleep surfaces including pillow top and memory foam. Couples that share a bed benefit from these excellent air mattresses, as you can purchase models that can adjust each side’s firmness separately.

Sleep Number Disadvantages

Especially in cases where there are two different settings on each side, Select Comfort bed reviews have found that sleepers may not like how the sensation changes at the center seam of the bed – something that is especially noticeable if you purchase a split king size bed. While mattresses offer 20 year limited warranties to ensure there are no defects, sleepers may feel some concern about whether the air mattress will be able to retain air over a prolonged period of time. Also, some sleepers find difficulty finding the right sleep number.

Verdict

The Select Comfort Sleep Number Bed is ideal for those who like to have complete control of the firmness of their mattress and for people whose preference may change over time. If you are looking for a bed that is more similar to a traditional spring than a memory foam mattress, then this is the one for you.
