Opinions on Sleep Number beds

[The Bad Guy]

I'm looking into possibly getting one over the next 2 months. My bed now is awful and I need to upgrade.

Does anyone have one? Does the bed sleep warm? I'm looking for a mattress that won't hold heat like it's Disney World in July.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

I use a queen size air mattress and I think it's comfy only paid like 57 or something like that. It's good enough for me and I'm not spending a bundle on a new bed and not getting nasty bed bugs for a used one either.

Man, don't you get sweaty? Air mattresses always make me wake up sweaty.

I tend to sleep a little warm, too, but I've never noticed anything regarding my Sleep Number.

I was talking to KC Tattoo's statement that he uses an air mattress, which I take to mean one of those things that you blow up with a vaccuum.

I like mine, but any foam top mattress is going to hold some heat.

My wife and I grabbed one 4 years ago, and I've really liked it. The big benefit is that we can adjust our sides separately. But aside from that, I don't think it's abnormally hot.

If the sides are adjusted differently is there a "seam" in the middle of the bed?

To some extent - yes. Here's my expertly-drawn diagram of how it's constructed:



Blue = air mattresses (basically just heavy-duty versions of the same thing you'd buy for $40 at a store)
Green = foam dividers (1-2" foam border that keeps the sides from ever collapsing too much and separates the two chambers through the middle)

It's all covered with a fairly thick piece of foam on top, so it's not as obvious as you'd expect. If you have both sides relatively high and near the same level, you don't notice the divider at all. If both sides were relatively low, you'd notice it a lot. My wife usually has hers at around 60, and I have mine around 45. When we first got it, I noticed the seam a bit when rolling from one side to another, but these days I don't really notice it at all.

That said, the bed definitely does make you feel like there's an "ideal" area on each side since the closer you are to the edges of each air mattress, the more you are likely to feel like you'll roll to the center. That's exaggerating quite a bit, but if you're the type to cuddle all night, you'd probably be better off with a bed that isn't divided by side.
