Life Let's talk about Beds - Page 3

What do you suggest? We have a King Sealy and it sucks.

I need help. The Sleep Number split beds that incline have caught my eye.

I have reached a point in my life where paying for comfort is worth it.

Lay it on me.

It was an action novel. I think that's what did it to me.

We bought our king size Serta iComfort 2 yrs ago and love it.

Anything Latex. Worked at a mattress factory- built and sold. Best foam out there.

Sleep Number for us. My wife likes the bed soft and I prefer a little firmer mattress.

I had one of those for years. I hated it. Not enough spring.

I got done with the mattress research process about a month ago and ended up getting a sleep number i8. My parents had purchased a sleep number w/ all the bells and whistles about a year earlier and while they liked the bed, they ended up not using the incline feature very much and considered it a waste of money. Plus with the split incline, you have to buy special sheets and there is a gap between the two sides. If you roll toward the middle you basically fall into the crack. So far I am happy with the purchase. It is definitely the most comfortable bed I've ever owned, and that's still with me experimenting to find my ideal sleep number.

Regarding memory foam, I have a friend with such a bed and his input was this: it is great when your back is bothering you and that particular support is necessary, but the rest of the time it gets very warm and isn't particularly comfortable.

If you do end up with a sleep number, skip the sleep IQ.

Same here. We have had ours for about 18 months, I think, and easily the best money we've spent on a mattress. Part of that is we both have drastically different preferences for bed softness. We also didn't get the inclining. And I totally agree with DaFace about being able to raise or lower firmness whenever I need it.

I travel for work. Hotel sleeping now sucks ass.

I genuinely think the people that don't like SN haven't found their "number."

I had a waterbed in my 20s and really liked it. No baffles, so you would float around for a while after you climbed in. But it was sure comfortable. While I don't think my wife minded it, she too talked me into getting rid of it. It was a sad day.

My only worry was that my cat would put a hole in it. She loved sleeping on it and we had lots of discussion about not kneading on it, and we could never agree not to do it.
