Lexntitus Mom,

Just wanted to tell you that we loved the Heavenly beds from Westin, too!!! We almost got one of those, before deciding on the Stearns & Foster

Good luck!

I love my sleep number bed...just love, love, love it! Before we got it, my husband and I always had a waterbed. Well, wouldn't ya know it...when he was away on a business trip, the waterbed sprung a leak. Thankfully it had tubes so it wasn't too messy. Anyway, I had to take my two daughters and go buy a new bed. Talk about confused!!!! All my confusion ended the minute I got on a sleep number bed. One of the great things about them vs a water bed is they are so light which makes it really easy to change the sheets. When we bought our vacation home in Durango we thought about putting one up there but decided against it because we were putting out so much money on the house. It's the first time we have had a regular mattress and we hate it. We were just taking about what a mistake that was and how we need to get a sleep number up there too!

I'm dying to get this bed!! I've been tracking the shipment and hopefully we will have by this weekend to put together and try it out. This ice storm has slowed things a bit tho so it may not be til next week :( As far as Rachel's questions go, yes it is covered and in our case the model we purchased has a pillow top as well. The covers actually upzip so you can get to the inner part of the mattress & foam for cleaning or whatever you need to do. We spoke to the salesman about having a boxer and all. It shouldn't be any problem, in fact I think they are sturdier than a regular mattress. The foam extends all the way to the sides so you don't have the break down from sitting on the edge, etc that you may have on a regular mattress. It was funny because we were trying to decide on whether to go with the wireless control or one that is attached, he said is your boxer a chewer?? LOLOL so far only on her stuff..she's a pretty good girl. We opted for the wireless dual controller. It's no differant than having another remote control. I'll definitely post after having a night or two sleep on it and let you know how it's working for us. Glad to hear some good things about them, makes me feel more comfortable about my purchase. And...you are not obligated for 30 days. We don't have to pay for it at all until we've had it and slept on it. Which I like because how do you really know until you've used it? I'll let you all know.

My wife and I bought the 7000 model a few years ago. I think it was around $3500 at the time. We got the eastern king size. It's "OK", it's not the most comfortable bed I've been in but it's not bad. I sleep reasonably well in it, but my wife loves it.

If you have kids, there's not "bounce" factor for it though :)

The thing I like about it is that it should last 20+ years if we want to keep it that long. They're also pretty good at supporting it with parts. When we first got it, it made a lot of noise (the plastic used in the platform rubbing whenever you'd move around). We called 'em, and they sent out a repair kit right away that fixed the problem.

No harrassing phone calls here either.

BTW, many larger indoor malls have Select Comfort stores in them where you can try the beds out. Also, one major hotel chain is almost 100% converted to SN beds now (but I forget which one - Embassy Suites perhaps?).

The quality is good, the idea is good as well. Think about what you'd spend for a premium mattress, and I bet this is close...

The one I've been looking at is at http://sleepworks.com - but that's a different story altogether ;)

Me & the hubby are seriously thinking about buying one too! Our mattress is 13 years old and feel we need a new one already. He has back problems & I have some soreness in the morning. We were watching them do a promo on the QVC shopping channel & seemed like a great price but went on the website and saw some cheaper. It turns out there is a store at our local Mall, so I rather go in person and check it out first. Wish us luck! Can't wait for your report Diane:)

We bought a Sleep Number bed a few years ago and we just love it. (we had a waterbed before it). My husband had some problems with his back and it really helps him.

We wouldn't trade it for anything.

It is wonderful!!!

After the first night, we were hooked. We had the entire order on Friday and put it all together ourselves. I have to say that I am glad I didn't pay them to come do it for me. There are a couple of advantages to doing that however, 1) they do all the work, 2) they haul off your old mattress if you want them too. We opted not to go that route, we're fairly handy and have bulky item pick up for free in our neighborhood so we can dispose of the old ones ourselves. We did not find it difficult to put together. It doesn't require any tools and the pieces are not heavy or difficult to handle. It took us probably 1 1/2 hours to get it done and that was with taking breaks and not hurrying. My husband's back pain has all but went away since we've been sleeping on this bed. That is amazing considering he's been fighting it for over ten years. Granted if he moves wrong it will still bother him but as far as hurting every single morning when getting up, that seems to have stopped. My hips have not bothered me at all since sleeping on this bed and we sleep longer & better. Both days this weekend we slept until 8am which never happened before. Generally we were up between 5 & 5:30am each day and irritated cause we couldn't sleep longer on the weekends. Maybe we're just catching up from all the crappy night's sleep we'd been getting on our old bed, I don't know. All I can say is that we are personally pleased with our purchase and would recommend it. I think it's a personal decision according to how you sleep, if you have trouble sleeping with aches & pains, etc or not. I'm sure it works great for some people and not so much for others but we are happy with it and I think I will surely miss it when we go visiting and don't have it to sleep on. One thing I did notice is that you don't feel any pressure from springs or otherwise. I don't even think you realize your feeling then until you sleep on a bed that doesn't have them. My husband says he feels like he's laying on a cloud. We also had a waterbed in the past with seperate bladders....it wasn't even close to feeling as good as this does in my opinion. This also has duel air chambers and when I move he doesn't really feel it and the same when he moves, I don't hardley feel it, that's pretty nice too. We did go the mall and go in and try them, checked out several models and I think that is a great way to start. You can at least have an idea of what your getting before you decide to buy, but again your not obligated for 30 days. If you take it and don't like it, all you pay is the return shipping of $100.00. So I guess that's the most risk you take. We were a little skeptical at first as well..wondering will this be worth this money but all fears subsided now...we love it!

Yay!

So glad you like it!!! It's always scary purchasing something that expensive and not be totally sure you are going to get what you want from it. I don't think I could ever go back to a tradiational spring mattress.
