Select Comfort Mattress
Reviews Of Sleep Number Innovative Line Of Mattresses
Checking various Select Comfort mattress reviews will show you that there is something unique about Select Comfort beds.
Select Comfort is known for manufacturing the unique Sleep Number Bed, a mattress that uses inflatable air chambers to adjust the bed to each person's individual needs.
You determine your individual 'sleep number' by using a combination of personal data that includes your height and weight and your style of sleeping.
Adjusting the bed to your individual sleep number will give you the ideal combination of softness and support for your mattress.
Sleep numbers range from 0 to 100, and each number is completely unique. Sleep number beds can be adjusted separately on each side, to suit the individual needs of two different sleepers.
Select Comfort mattresses are available in a variety of styles and price ranges, from their affordable Classic series to their high-end performance series. Select Comfort also offers specialty beds, such as an adjustable bed, a waterbed mattress replacement and several different RV mattresses.
Prices for Select Comfort Sleep Number beds range from about $1000 to nearly $5000 (king size), depending on the model that you choose.
Sleep Number Classic Series
Priced from $1000 to $1700, The Sleep Number Classic Series includes some of the most affordable of the Sleep Number bed designs. Although they are more basic in design than the higher priced models, the Classic Series beds use the same innovative Sleep Number technology that has made Select Comfort mattresses famous.
The lowest end of the scale, the c2, features a 9-inch thick mattress and a non-digital firmness control. The next in line is the c3, which has a plush layer added to its 9-inch mattress for extra softness and features digital firmness control.
The third in the Sleep Number Classic Series is the c4. The c4's thicker 10-inch mattress has a European style pillowtop with an additional 1?-inch thick layer of contouring material for added comfort. The digital firmness control has a wired remote that is backlit for easy reading.

The i8 incorporates a duvet-style pillowtop and 5 support zones into its 12-inch thick mattress. The i9 combines the comfort of memory foam with the adjustability of a Sleep Number mattress.
The plush i10 mattress is a full 13 inches thick with the added softness and support of memory foam to enhance the comfort of the individual Sleep Number settings.

Although the innovative Sleep Number beds continue to receive positive Select Comfort mattress reviews by consumers, some issues have been reported. The most frequently heard complaint is that the air mechanism fails, often soon after the bed is purchased.
Some consumers have also reported experiencing difficulties with the company when trying to return the bed for a refund or using the warranty to cover the cost of faulty pumps.
As with any large purchase, it is important to read all of the fine print of the contract before making your final decision, instead of simply taking the salesperson's word that everything will be covered. Issues aside, people who have not experienced problems agree that the Select Comfort mattress truly is comfortable.
