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.

Yep I'll have to pass, thanks

I have a king size one. It was free otherwise I'd have never paid for it. I don't really know what you mean about sleeping hot, but it is the best bed I've ever owned.

I've always felt they were so over priced.

I slept on a queen extra firm Sealy mattress that I paid around $300 for about 10 years ago. I have a very heavy Indonesian Rosewood slat bed. The mattress had a 10 year warranty and I recently got rid of it when I moved into the office. I never felt hot with it and I am VERY heat sensitive

You can look at it 2 ways.

Yes, they are definitely overpriced for what you are actually getting. A little time spent doing your homework and getting a build-a-bed customized individually for you will end up with higher grade materials and a superior product for about 1/3 to no more than half the price. So, in part it's a convenience charge.

On the flipside, they're a good bed, in general. You spend roughly a third of your life sleeping, so how much is a good night's sleep worth ? People spend far less time in their car and don't blink for a second at spending 10 or 20 times more.

This is especially important if you and your significant other differ greatly on desired firmness. This was the primary reason for us getting a king, dual-control Sleep Number. Our only other real option was separate beds. For those of you that know the numbers, my wife averages 15. I average 60.

Good points on both of these.

We have the king and got it about 7 years ago. I was having problems waking up with lower back pain and once I found my number, problem solved.

We paid roughly 3k for ours. It was a middle tier that was on sale. I should note that when we first bought our king bed, the original mattress we purchased was 2700, so for the price, it was worth it.

If you're worried about it sleeping hot, there is one model they have that has the gel in the mattress that disperses the heat. For me, I just need a pillow for that.

The only thing that has needed service thus far is the wireless remote that runs the pump, the LCD display went out. No biggie.

I love my air bed. But don't get a "Sleep Number" bed...way over priced. I bought a similar type but doesn't have a number. You really don't need a "Number". Blow it up until it feels comfortable. The dual controls are nice as well.

I think the brand is "Comforte Aire". Not sure. The Queen was ~$900.

We've had ours for about 7 years. One of the best investments we ever made. The wife sets her side to 35 and I set mine to 60-65. It doesn't sleep hot.

It's fine. For sexy time you just have to put the mattresses on similar hardness.

Who wants to cuddle all night anyway? I need space.
