i got a grizzly and didn't want to get into the questions that will crop up because don't make sense. Yes, another bedroom that is connected to HIS bathroom He won't sleep in there. I do.... I'm always the one who gives in. Yes, the other bedroom has the same mattress as master, he won't go in there. He gets up at 3-4 and if he would go to other bedroom would cure our problems. He just won't concede.

only time he will go in there is when the night before I have to sleep before an operation. Recently cataract surgery I think I'm gonna need a tonsilectomy next I'll know soon. That's his room where his Tv is, etc. but he won't sleep in there. I can't explain it, so, just let it be asked do the sleep number beds really cure snoring?

Believe me nobody lives like I do.

@SharkE

I got mine from QVC several years ago. I was waking with back pain every morning. DH too! I couldn't believe the difference when we got Sleepnumber. I thought I needed a firm mattress but my sleep # is very low (soft). DH has his around 70. We've both been very satisfied with our Sleepnumber bed.

I don't think my model help with snoring. Maybe newer versions where you can raise the top half would?

that's what I wonder

I read online "can help with mild snoring' this is not mild snoring. I've taped him on tape recorder and played it back for sister she said she'd never heard that kind of snoring before. LOL

He probably wouldn't pay for it anyway. I'll probably just have to keep going to 2nd bedroom and walk around the baseball card table and junk that is HIS room. I'm just the help , you know.

@SharkE - I've had my sleep number for probably 15 (maybe more) years. Husband adjusted to it quickly, took me a few days. We have both found our "numbers" and he has less pain.

I do not have the model where the head part raises up - seems like it might help.

Is he gasping? It sounds like he should be checked out for sleep apnea.

SharkE — Tue, 03 Mar 2020 20:32:05 GMT

I know he has a hiatal hernia in throat. When he snores his stomach does something strange like jerks LOL Something not right. I just escape to 2nd bedroom and let the King have the master and master bath.

@SharkE

NO it does not help snoring. You want to hear a recording of DH? LOL!!!

I always yell knock it off.

I make him rollover. I don't like him sleeping facing me snoring in my ear.

Yes it helps with pains. I like if I need more air I can add it or if I need less I can let some out.

It's low profile so sheets are too big. Needs at least a 2" topper to help. I'm not buying sheets from Sleep Number or some other not so comfy sheets.

@SharkE

No way would I let DH have the master bedroom & bathroom.

I have the master fixed with black out roman shades plus blackout curtains with wrap around rods so it's pitch black.

I cannot sleep with any light. It drives me crazy. Light does not bother DH so if anyone around here is sleeping in another room it won't be me. LOL!!!

Besides he always runs into the furniture because he cannot see in the dark & I can.

Re: Sleep number bed

SharkE — Tue, 03 Mar 2020 20:47:27 GMT

Mine's been saying he can't rollover because of his appendix ! He has excuse for everything ! He's been saying that for 48 yrs. The other bedroom mattress wasn't as comfortable as the master, ok, we bought another 650 mattress, now, it sits to high and hurts his hip to get up on it, I called the mattress place and had a new lower box springs bought out and paid the 110 for it myself.

Nope, he won't go in there except when he takes a sleeping pill on tues and Sat then he goes in there. I can't win. Gave up !

@SharkE Isn't there a minor surgical procedure that will help with snoring? A sleep study is the first thing doctors mention when snoring comes up, to check for sleep apnea. The snorer stops breathing which is hard on the heart. Can shorten lifespan.

It really sounds like he should be checked out, @SharkE.

Pancho — Tue, 03 Mar 2020 21:21:15 GMT

I agree with @tansy

I have obstructive sleep apnea or OSA. It was discovered when I was in the hospital a couple of years ago for an extended stay. I had to do an at home overnight sleep study test and then go to an overnight sleep lab at Emory University Hospital. I stopped breathing something like 50+ times an hour. EXTREMELY BAD for you, your body, all your organs, etc. Now I sleep with a bi-pap machine (a little different than a c-pap machine). It has really helped with my fatigue which was off the charts. Your husband should really go to a sleep specialist and be checked out. Snoring of any kind is not a good thing and you don't realize the amount of detriment you are doing to yourself not getting deep restful sleep.

And to answer your original question, I just bought a Sleep Number C4 360 Smart Bed with a FlexFit base (raises your head only) like 3 weeks ago. It has SleepIQ Technology. The bed tracks my sleeping habits every night. It tells you how many hours of restful or restless sleep you get and takes your biometrics (breaths/heartbeat) and gives you a SleepIQ Score. This is all done through an app on your phone. It does have the snoring feature that raises your partners head (I live alone so I don't use this feature!). This is my second Sleep Number bed. My first one was bought years ago and has none of this technology. I didn't really buy the new bed for the technology I bought it because of the ability to adjust the firmness of the mattress up or down since my comfort level changes througout the year and I was very happy with my first Sleep Number. All the technology is a bonus! And its really nice to be able to raise yourself up in bed to read, watch TV, surf on your phone, etc. at the touch of a button.

I've had a sleep number over 25 years. It's so old we don't have numbers! Two separate bladders and a hand held button. Pump until it's firm enough. Ahhhh. Stop. Done. I don't need a number for that. As far as the snoring

he does, I'm still shaking the bed. He had his adenoids out. They grew back!!!

That jerk is probably the reaction of his body for not getting enough oxygen.

People who sleep like that are prone to heart attacks and strokes. I have sleep apnea and my doctor told me I could very well be one of those people who die in their sleep and nobody knows why. They find you dead because you don't get oxygen and your organs shut down. A cpap machine with the full mask would quite his snoring.

Has he ever been checked for sleep apnea? My DH was a heavy snorer and he was diagonsed with sleep apnea. Now has to use a c-pap.

@SharkE This sounds like our "Sleep Number" bed. I think it was one of the first ones they sold on QVC. Prior to getting it, I used to wake up with a very sore back. After we got our sleep number bed and I determined the right inflation level, my backaches went away. However, it didn't do a thing for DH's snoring. His wasn't the soft snoring that might wake you up at night. We could hear him snoring all through the house and it sometimes sounded like he was choking. He had a sleep study done where he stopped breathing over 45 times in a few hours. They determined he had severe sleep apnea and he's been using a CPAP machine ever since. It's worked wonders, starting almost immediately.

We love ours! It's great especially with the adjustment to your preference of soft to firm or anywehre in between. I find when I twist my back then I just change my sleep number a bit. It stands up to 2 GSD's jumping on the bed to snooze for a while. Great quality. I don't think it can do anything about snoring. We also are fans of the "My Pillow" and are happy with those as well. My husband still snores. I toss less so that's amazing. I'm a light sleeper but this is the "BEST" IMO
