Do you Own a Sleep Number Bed?
 

Im about to buy a cal king..... reading on the web i found people pretty much either fucking hate them or totally love them...

i tried it out... felt pretty good...

an input before i drop 3k on a mattress ?

Any link about that thing?

no i don't

I was torn between that and one of the Memory Foam mattress ... I got the foam one and love it ..

yeah the tempur-pedic beds look good but im 6'1 250lbs... i sink into that thing like a mofo so i think the sleep number is better for a guy like me...

I paid a lot for it but worth it .. I'm 5'9 and 200 ..I sink in a bit but sleep like a rock .. the first 3 days it made me soar a bit .. but then it was great

I have a tempur pedic, I love it. It's hard for me to sleep on anything else now.

Heard bad things about the sleep number. it's basically an Air type matress.
We have a tempur pedic. It took me a week to get used to it, but you don't move. Sleep like a rock and wake up feeling great. If you get a real tempurpedic and not just the topper for a regular mattress, you might be ok.
Good luck.

I'm 250 too and I just love the tempur-pedic ... I sleep so well

my wife and i went out last night and spent $150.00 on a new memory foam mattress cover. We also each got a memory foam pillow. That cover is amazing. I strongly suggest getting one. It rocks!

I'd like to get a bigger bed and would look at one but my wife thinks our mattress we have now works just fine and we just spent a grand on the fucking headboard setup.

my brother i law has one and says its the most wonderful mattress ever.

i bought a nasa foam bed for 600 and best thing i ever bought

i think the sleep number thing is overhyped. i'd just like to find a good regular bed. people say tempurpedic is good but i do move around some when i sleep so i don't think it would be too great for me. then you have beauty rests and posturpedic, etc but it seems people have good and bad things to say about all of them.

damn boyalley... im gald you brought up the point about the foam divider. I have been thinking about that for a while and owndering about the impact it might have....

my gf and i sleep together sometimes but dont live together so most of the time im gonna be sleeping on it alone and if im alone on a cal king im not gonna be on just ONE side of the bed...

god damn these fucking mattresses... there is so much spin on them picking the RIGHT one is almost as bad as trying to vote on shit.

anybody use a normal mattress that they like?

Don't now what is it!

I hear you, but with the tempurpedic you don't move around as much. It supports all parts of your body so you don't have to flip and move. It's hard to explain. It took me a week to get used to it because it feels very different. I've never slept better and I've had water beds, 1500 dollar posturpedics (with springs .. soooo outdated). The tempurpedic keeps your body temp in check too. I know.. it's just weird. We saw the same exact matress at costco for 450 (queen). Go figure.

I went on blind faith and did the at home trial, because we were having such terrible back pain from our old mattress. So far, it's really taken care of that. Knock on wood.

A futon is the way to go if you're not overweight and in relatively in good shape.
For me, nothing beats a futon, but it does need to be turn over every other week and rolled up a few time a month to maintain its shape.

its basically a mattress that has an inflatable chamber inside of it... you can set a "sleep number" which is just how filled with air it is... aka firmness.

i hear they rox











on tv

great thread, cuz im shopping for a new mattress myself


Been considering the sleep number. Friend of mine has it and said its not that great. His sleep # is '100', lol. He also told me about the divider thing... he calls it 'the valley'.

I think after reading this thread im sold on a tempurpedic. I just wanna sink in and pass the fuck out, not toss and turn 20 times a night.

lol of course

bro u shoudl go lay on one though.... maybe im just a fat ass but i felt pretty deep in it.

also reading epinions people say they get really hot... i guess i should go try em out again though.

i forgot to ask..


hows SEX in a tempurpedic?

good question... i wanna know that answer too... banging on the floor is teh easiest imo... a normal bed makes it hard... so on a tempurpedic is it like running on sand? lol

i hope i caught you before you bought this thing.. i didnt read the thread yet.

im staying in a hotel right now that has one, it fucking sucks. hardcore.

i almost bought one 6-7 months ago but favored a traditional pillowtop. glad i did.

btw, i loved the feel of the demo model in the store.
besides this one being extremely uncomfortable:

there is a huuuuge canyon in the middle of the bed. like 1/3rd of the width of the bed, between the two air bladders that inflate to provide support.

there are also very narrow canyons on the edges of the bed, between the bladders and the frame.

the inflating motor thing sounds like a jet engine. i can hear the adjacent rooms to me when they turn theirs on.

it just sucks. bad. really really bad.

btw after reading the thread now, i just asked my gf which bed we got

its the tempurpedic pillowtop.

i didnt go with the california king because its actually like 6-8" (i forget) narrower than a regular king. but longer. the width was more important to me than the length

btw, in regards to those other comments about weight and the tempurpedic.. i'm 6'1 240, its comfy.

it was a bit firm for the first 30 days, then it just got perfect.. and it has been since.. hasnt changed at all. invest in some good pillows when you get a new mattress to get the full effect. i got mine at macy's when they had a 2 for 1.. they were like $45 each

LOL Just as I saw this thread the commercial was on. Maybe I should buy one.

lol..

anyone interested in buying one - take apart the bed in the store.. just lift the mattress off and look at how the box spring is constructed.. you'll change your mind.

also ask them to show you the air pump.. and ask to hear it while its running

I read in bed alot, right in the middle, good post!

wow this guy told me that pretty much tonight. basically saying the middle is very different.

is there better than the TP?
