I'm really interested in the Sleep Number beds but need some more info. We would get a regular king as both myself and my husband have back issues and would require a different firmness. I'd like to hear from some of you who have a Sleep Number and what your advice/recommendations would be. Also, how's the price on QVC compare with in the store? And, also, if purchasing, which model would it be? So many choices, I'm confused.

Are you handy? You would have to put QVC's together yourself. I'm guessing a store would do it for you.

My husband could put it together. I'm definitely not handy.

check into a Tempur-Pedic bed too....wished I would of bought that instead of a sleep number for what I know now.

My sleep number increases the air pressure on it's own going both ways, always need to check it before I go to bed. Warranty on the bed is pro rated per year and any replacement of motor etc the shipping is paid by you regardless.

With such a major expense, I seriously wouldn't buy anything online, there's no one to call and get any assistance but even with the sleep number store, sure they are really nice, they'll refer you to the special number to call and won't do anything in the store except sell you new one's.

We have one and after a few years, put it in the spare bedroom. It's nothing but an expensive air mattress. I'd never buy another one. We now sleep on a Stearns and Foster extra firm mattress with a gel topper on and it's the most comfortable thing I've ever slept on.

We have the split king adjustable. Before buying anything go to a Sleep Number store and try out the different types. They can also check your pressure points. That said, these beds are expensive and the bedding even more so. My husband likes his side, but, he prefers a softer mattress. I like a firm mattress, and, as someone else said, it keeps going down in air.

I slept in one once, in a hotel. Dh and I thought it was the worst bed we ever slept on. Also, the center divider is terrible.

I used to have a Tempurpedic bed for years because of my back. It was great, but was so heavy. So, one day I got the brilliant idea to get a sleep number bed. Went to the store, tried them out, and bought one that cost a lot. I was so glad to be able to move the bed around and clean underneath.

It came, was installed, and in less than 30 days I had it picked up again. It was no good for my back.

Went back to Tempurpedic and my back feels great again.

I love mine. I have a queen (not adjustable), and I have had it since August 12. Air stays in it, only changes when (if) I adjust it. My sleep number is very low though, a 35. I have duel controls, and live alone, but I do sleep on both sides of the bed. I love it! Previous to that, I paid $800 for a mattress that I ended up hating. So, yes, it cost double +, but I expect to have it a long time! My dad and brother in law put it together for me (surprise for me!), but they said it was a little over and hour to do it. Maybe 1.5 hours. I was grateful and very happy I didn't have to tackle that job. Have not regretted the purchase at all.

Ditto. I had one for a year, and absolutely hated it. I gave it to a family member, and they're happy with it. I ended up getting an extra firm mattress and a separate memory foam topper. And, for about 1/3 the cost of the sleep number!
