How long do Sleep Number Beds Last?

Susic — Mon, 27 Apr 2020 22:53:09 GMT

I bought mine on qvc 10 years ago, and it has gotten very uncomfortable over the last year. I thought they lasted a lot longer. One side looses air periodically , not sure how accurate the number I set is. The other side doesn't loose air, but husband says it is very uncomfortable. It has some sort of warranty, but doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it, just not comfortable anymore. Was thinking of getting one of those bed in a box mattresses. Has anyone had good luck with any particular brand. Thanks, Susi.

@Susic that is how long we had ours and it started bothering us too. We did end up getting a tempurpedic and I love it but they are very expensive. My Motherinlaw bough the northern nights mattress and she really likes it. She said in was a good mattress for I think she paid 400 sum dollars when it was a TSV. Good luck in your search 😊

My DH and me have had our Sleep Number bed for about 24 year's, still very comfortable and still work's fine.

We bought ours in 2019. When it was called Select Comfort. It's a king size. Still works perfect. We both love it.

Sometimes it takes a while for the remote to wake up to work. It has always lost air, for some reason, when I change sheets.

I bought a Casper about 4 years ago and I'm still happy. I chose it over a Temperpedic because I didn't like their $8000 price tag.

I thought it would last about 20 years. I hate to give up on it was so expensive. Just want to have a good nights sleep. I remember the first night, I set the number , fell asleep and didn't move all night, was great. I was thinking of Temperpedic. Have to decide on firm or medium. I did like the adjustablilty of Sleep Number, but too expensive now that I am retired. Especially for king size. The Northern Nights one might be an idea. Thank you all,Susi

@Susic All I can say is DITTO - you have written my story!

Such an expensive disappointment.

To answer your question about “bed in a box” — I gifted

a queen size Stearns and Foster one to my granddaughter for her November wedding and they love it. I had several recommendations before purchase and it will be my next gift to me.

Hope this helps...

@Susic

Mine is 14 years old. Also called Select Comfort on some of the paperwork. Copied this from one of the flyers included:

Fluctuations of the Sleep Number are normal, and may occur with any of the following:

Changes in body position on the bed (lying down vs sitting up)

Changes in the amount of weight on the bed (one person or two people)

Changes in barometric pressure or temperature

Use of an adjustable foundation (mattress flat vs articulated)

I occasionally have to add a little air to get back up to my normal number.

24 years? Beds today are meant to last 10 years.

Google this topic and you'll find the answer.

Yes, I did see that about the bed lasting 10 years, so felt a little better. This one does not adjust, is always flat. I adjust firmness every night. I know in cold weather is self deflates more. I guess it just wore out.

I don't know about the specific bed, Sleep Number, but I've been in the market looking at beds and they last 10 years is what I've been told. That's how old my Serta mattress is & needs replaced. Today's beds aren't made to last 24 years!

@Susic My sleep no, is about 12 years old. It only has one chamber since I'm the only person using it. I've had the control replaced once and the foam.
It was feeling harder and not as cushioned so I bought a new mattress pad recently. It's a thick, plush one but no foam inside. It's wonderful! I've been sleeping like its new!

I hesitated getting the new pad but it was on a very good sale and has been worth it.

@Susic Have you thought about trying a memory foam mattress topper on your old mattress? They work miracles for very little money.

We've had ours since they first came out. We did have to buy a new bladder for one side. You'd need help for that because of the weight of the frame.

I estimate ours 25+ years.

Yes, I did say 24 year's, but my DH just said that we have had our Sleep Number for 30 years.

@Susic We have a king size Select Comfort mattress and still love it. I’ve kept it protected with a good mattress cover that gets washed. Our mattress looks like new.

I wanted to share with you that recently one side kept losing air. Upon inspection, the hose under the bed had become partially detached from getting bumped from vacuuming under there. Each side has its own hose. Reattached and it’s working fine now.

Thank you Teddie, will check it tomorrow. It seems to be connected, but will make sure it is tight . It doesn't loose air every day, but if I don't check it for a few days, it says it is 35, if set on 70-90. I have been keeping it on a higher number lately. I think the numbers aren't accurate anymore. Have been looking at Northern Nights hybrid that was a recent TSV. Looks pretty good and price good as well. I am not one to try out beds in stores anymore. Not going to spend over $2000.00 again for sure.

I hear ya, @Susic ! They can be really expensive. And testing a mattress out in the store wouldn’t be for me either. I hope it all works out for you!

@Susic I know I am very late to the game here but here is my experience. I have had my SNB for 15 years and really enjoyed it. Remote has had some issues but I thought the adjustability factor was great. I added toppers but still was not having good sleep. A new SNB was not in my budget. I finally broke down and purchased the NN Hybrid in April and am so suprized at the comfortability. I was hesitant to purchase a "bed from a box" but it is one of the best purchases I have made. I find the med to be a med/firm and that works for me. Hope you have good luck with whatever you decided.
