This was an awesome review! You were straight to the point and didn't use useless filler information to make the video longer. Everything was crystal clear and I learned a few things I didn't know. By far the BEST video I have seen for a Sleep Number Bed review. Thank you so much!!
most of what he’s saying is correct however within the last few years the 360 smart beds have been updated . You can’t hear the pump so if you are a person who tosses and turns leave that responsive air setting ON!! It has saved my hips and shoulders! Also, the iLE is a great mattress but the sister bed to this would be the i8 which most people will Choose that bed over the iLE because it’s softer. This is nothing like an air mattress. Yes, they work with air. But the baffles themselves have 4 inch chambers inside. So the air chamber plus the responsive air is what keeps you aligned throughout the night constantly relieving pressure points. I got my bed just last January and it’s awesome. Definitely worth every penny.
FYI - We have found that regular, not sleep number brand, deep pocket fitted sheets that fit mattresses up to 18" deep work on sleep number beds and don't pop off.
We have had one for 17 years now it's time for a new one. We will never buy any other bed!. So comfy but I love a temperpedic pillow it's a must. I too have a back problem and sleep better on a sleep number. Thanks for the tip on when to buy!
I can't wait to get one too my back pain is incredible and I felt a sleep number bed recently wait and it was a night and day difference in the pain levels
Well done review thank you. We are 72 Y.O. and back pain is our issue. We have tried for years to get a good bed but we failed everytime. Too Firm is always the problem. Last time about a year i was determined to get a soft mattress. It was 17 inches thick and Ultra Plush. It was not soft, just Mountain of a mattress. My wife short and struggles just to get in the dang thing. in 2007 I bought a Sleep Number pillow and it finally died on me. We were the mall nearby and i was able to order a pillow. They were shocked I was still on their records and still had the same pillow. They had a new design and suggested i try in on a bed. While there I asked them to make the bed as soft as possible. They stopped at 35 and I could feel my back relaxing. That bed at 35 and this contour pillow were very nice. I suggested my wife try it. She found it better at 45 but still most comfortable, then the sales lady lifted her feet and head just a bit and she was shocked how much better that was on het legs, hip and breathing. Then she did the numbers and the bed as you mentioned was on a sale of $700 off list price. by the time we were done it was over $6,000. That took outr breath away and we took the quote with us but i knew my wife was not enthused. Then today i woke up in such pain i had to roll onto the floor to get my pants on then hobbled around for several hours before my back would let me walk normally. So i began to search reviews and saw yours. You like all the same stuff we saw, but the notion of deep discounts during holidays could be my saviour. I will be watching them closely Late May and early July to see if anything moves as you have explained. Thanks, Dennis
Dennis, what did you end up doing. I bought one in my 40's. I am now 65. One of the cells has gone. What I found annoying was the fact that the foam deteriorates, and it needs replacement parts. On the other hand, I never slept so well. I was concerned about taking the plunge to get an updated bed and having to screw around with it at 85. what did you do?
Too bad the company you work for still continues to have bladder leak issues in 2021 you'd think that your company would have been able to remedy this problematic breakdown that your mattress has to this day.
@@gonzobongo6669 I agree those issues will arise just like any other product runs the risk of some having issues. Luckily my experience I have not heard of any new mattress leaking.
I bought just the mattress ensemble on line refurbished. It was $750 and fit on my new bed perfectly and I've had it for 15 years. I'm old now and won't buy another one this in life time. But I've had to make a few tweaks to the remote and the pillowtop. But I love it. Good value. Great support.
Judy, What platform did you use to buy your SNB? We need to sell ours. It’s in great condition, three years old. It’s been remarkable for my bad knee, and I was able to put away my cane!😊
Great review. My Wife and I just got our 2nd SNB, our 1st one 11 years ago and was a C3 with Remote, hut the pump was failing. So we decided to upgrade our Queen C3. But when they came with our bed they could get it up to our BEDROOM, the Flex fit base wouldn't fit around the corner at the top of our UPstairs because it's a one piece solid base, so we upgraded to a Split Top king with the Flex 2 base. So for the inconvenience they gave us a set of sheets for our bed. But the differance is the King base is 2 seperate pieces and they were able to stand the base up and walk it around the corner, go figure. They called to say they couldn't deliver the bed because it hadn't arrived at the loading dock, so we had to wait a month to get it, so for that the person on the phone gave us another set of sheets for the inconvenience, so now we have 2 sets of sheets for the bed for free retail is $200. We also bought a set of split top King Sheets from Amazon for $39.99 and they fit great and they do have the straps to hold it on. So we're very happy with the new Bed. I have Anklosing Spondylitis and my Wife has Ms, so we deal with alot of pain and the new Bed has made a huge differance, we're both sleeping much better, not sure how accurate the sleep tracking is either but I like looking at them though. Here are the sheets we bought. smile.amazon.com/dp/B07TWHYYGS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_Y53S8FW5M64DEF8ANKAJ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Hi I was about to purchase a sleep number bed and I ran into your video and truly appreciate your review great insight and it will save me a ton of money😍
Your review style is great. You come across like a regular guy and not a "RUclipsr" or pitchman. I came to see what these beds were all about but I'll be subscribing because of your communication style. Oh and great lamps!
Thanks very much for your honest review. I’ve had my SNB over 20 years now and been wanting upgrade but been so confused with the new features but didn’t want to wait until I get to a store to be pressured by a salesperson into buying what they need to get rid off and rather do a lot of my research online to have some information for when I get to the store.
We have had our Select Comfort (Sleep Number's name previously) for 23 years and not had any issues with it. Ours doesn't have all the tech the new one has but it still has the pump and comfort layers of foam. We have decided to get a new bed and are going with the ILE with an adjustable base and are going to move our old bed into our camper because it is still a great bed. Our pump is extremely quiet, I almost can't hear it run so I am concerned that the new one is loud but perhaps it won't be an issue for us. I can't speak to their warranty because we didn't have to use it but I can say we couldn't be happier with our first purchase after many restful nights and expect this new one will be just as good.
Thanks a million for this review Robb. Sleep No Bed simply needs to locate you and pay some commissions, LOL. I was on the fence about which mattress to buy, as i have an onset of lower back pains the past two weeks. I listened to your review, and 15 minutes later, i was shopping. Coincidentally, They have a 50% discount (President's Day sale) on the Limited edition Queen Dual iLE s360. so i got a $2500 discount off the base cost of $5099. I then added all those fancy perks, The FlexFit 3, and ended up paying just over $5k. I am so excited and can't wait to try it in a few weeks. I appreciate everyone's comments. all of that helped me to decide. Thanks
My bed is pre 2011. Its a single bladder queen since I sleep alone. I think I got it in 2005 or 2006. It was top of the line at that time. I have never had one single problem with until this past move when it started leaking air. The extra tube plug was a bit loose. Adjusted it and I'm going to try it tonight. I would never sleep on any other bed, hut a Sleep Number bed.
Thk u for your video.I am extremely upset right now bc both of my parents have a SNB and BOTH OF THEM ARE SLEEPING IN HORRIBLE PAIN WITH CHRONIC DISC PROBLEMS AND ARTHRITIS AND BEDS THAT DO NOT WORK WITH NOONE TO Talk with bc the "tech ppl" are in NEW ORLEANS WHERE THE HURRICANE KILLED EVERYTHING!!! GETTING HELP TO ADJUST THESE BEDS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!
I’ve sold Sleep Number beds for over 16 years. But I’m not representing the company, here, just giving my two cents. It’s a publicly traded company, no franchises, all stores are corporately owned. Pricing is the same everywhere. This review is more accurate than most, at this time- but things change quickly. Functions in the SleepIQ app are constantly improving. My tip to the reviewer is to take the slick pillow protector off your pillow so your case will stay on. We sell woven cotton protectors that would work better for you. 2nd tip, those elastic anchor bands on your fitted sheet are designed to go just under the mattress, not the FlexFit adjustable base. They’ll last longer and you’ll be able to tuck in your top sheet.
The Perfect Comfort youTube video did a comparison of the Sleep Number bed and the Perfect Comfort. One of the interesting differences was how the mattress stays on the frame: SN has super-strong magnets (at least in this video) which the video points out could cause damage to electronics, pace-makers...basically anything that is affected by strong magnets. The PC mattress has a metal bar that is inserted at the base of the mattress. I'm new to these high-tech mattresses...am trying to learn the pros and cons so I can make a smart decision. Your video has been very helpful. If we do purchase SN, we'll definitely wait until a holiday! Thanks.
We bought the Sleep Number C2 and the queen mattress topper from MyPillow. The combination enhanced the whole characteristics of the bed. Amazing comfort, no sunken feeling no bed anomalies, and still adjustable. Bought my son same combo everywhere he goes he tells people about his bed. Mattress only $1167.56 (with FORCED shipping/setup and taxes). Mattress Topper $297.00. Basically, turned a $1000 bed into a $3500.00 bed. Note: I reused my box springs and frame. Install techs reversed the hoses. Make sure yours are correct or your bed may suck/blow and you do not know why.
I have had the ILE King with the flexfit base and the only complaint I have in the 8 years we have owned it is they didn't cat proof the lighting underneath the bed the lights were out in 3 days. Would buy it again. Great review
What did your cat do to knock out the lighting? My husband and I are about to purchase one of these with this type base. And we have three cats. Lol so was just curious. Thanks.
@@garroy7051 oh my goodness. Thank you so much for the quick response. Hopefully they have cat proofed it by now. But I suppose only time will tell. 🥴😊
I bought mine on a sale and got a huge healthcare worker discount. Love my sleep number bed. I did kinda get conned into the expensive base which you dont actually need. You can get the cheap non adjustable base.
This was a super clear and helpful review. We’re on the fence between temper and this. As two crossfitters we beat ourselves up all the time, soooo, adjustability my the be feature that she’s the difference!
im a rock climber who has back pain very often from an accident prior, the adjustable stiffness and base is where the sleep number really shines for us, being able to sit at 130* angle to rest my lower back is a god send.
This was helpful. My wife and I are in the market for a bed like this and Black Friday is around the corner Update: I purchase the i10 360 yesterday and got an unbelievable deal, I’m talking about $4,900 off, couldn’t pass that up. Now I’ll have to wait til the end of December to sleep in it. Very excited tho, and even more so my wife
@@granthumphrey9757 Employees at the Sleep number stores get a a certain number of coupons every year, to give to friends and family. Those coupons give you 50% off mattresses and 30% off the frame and everything else. The lady I was talking to at the store offered it to me, because it was expiring the next day. I got super lucky
We bought our 2nd SNB in 2021 from the Tucson store, but waited until we made a move to Las Cruces, NM, before we had it delivered. It is a 360 bed, both sides of the bed adjust separately so we have two separate twin-size mattresses and the base is separate so I can raise mine at a different level than my husband. The only regret I have is that we should have bought the California King that is 4" longer & 4" shorter in width. I have learned that I don't like to raise up the foot of the bed, but he does, since we bought the regular King size, the top sheet won't stay tucked in at the bottom, & if we have the head of the bed on each side raised, then our feet stick out the bottom of the bed. Neither one of us are tall, but when you raise the head of the bed it pushes you closer to the bottom, if we had that extra 4" in the length, we wouldn't have that problem. Being 4" closer to each other as far as width isn't a problem, but I really wish we had bought the California King that is 72" x 84". Keep in mind that you would also have to buy sheets that are for a California King & in our case, our bottom sheets are twin size, completely separate, with one top sheet over both of us.
Love your reviews. Watched your Husky toolbox review, and now this one because I have back pain also… with a wife that wants a bed super soft. Love the speed and delivery of your reviews. Subscribed!
Love mine ‘ Labor Day sale saved me 50% on the mattress ,or else I wouldn’t have done it .I got the top of the line mattress ile and flex base , it’s the best thing I’ve ever slept on for my back pain , I wake up feeling new !! The Lyocell sheets are really a comfort factor too
Don't buy Sleep Number beds with adjustable bed frame. Air bag lasted 2.75 years and had to be replaced "under warranty"........$270! Also, if your a big person the bed deforms on the sides. I forgot to add this nice touch.....if the replacement air bags do not fix the issue there is no return policy!! Avoid sleep number beds and save yourself thousands!!
Originally I bought a select comfort king size bed in the late 1990s. I purchased the bed and frame and, reluctantly (only option) had it shipped to me and installed it myself. My wife and I loved it. She got it in the divorce:( It made little difference since I was a truck driver and basically lived in my truck 24/7. Fast forward to my retirement. 5 years ago, I purchased a twin size Sleep number mattress. Again shipped to me and I self installed. Now 5 years later I am having issues with my air chamber losing air. I contact support and find my bed came with a 25 year limited warranty. After going over the bed I decided that I needed a new air chamber, hose(starting to crack) and foam(losing shape). Those three items, after only 5 years of a 25 year warranty, will cost me another $300.00. The whole bed only cost me $700.00. So, I decided to upgrade to a Twin XL since my adjustable frame was designed for an XL. I inquired about an upgrade. Basically I can get a C2 Smart bed Twin XL for $799.00. Not that different from what I paid for my current bed, considering inflation. Only this one just has a 15 year warranty. Hmmmm I wonder why they shortened the warranty? Next the give me a quote. $799 for the bed(not bad), $159.80 sale discount(good deal), $249 delivery and premium setup fee(WHAT??????) $86.60 tax for a total of $974.80.(well, it's under a grand) I asked about waiving the Delivery and Premium Setup fee since I had never had them setup my bed before. After all it is not rocket science. I'm 73 and have been moving beds all my life. 50 years ago I sold and installed water beds. I know how to set up a bed. I even explained to them that I let NO ONE into my house, especially not the bedroom for safety and security reasons. Well forget that. The fee is mandatory. My decision was that Select Comfort/Sleep Number just lost a long time customer. The MOST I will do now is fix my current bed under warranty. After all, at 73 how much longer will I need it? Plain and Simple fact, I do not trust these companies to come in and "case" my home.
Buy it before Presidents’ Day. I paid for a cal king iLE mattress that was $6000 for $2900 plus got 4 pillows, the protector for the mattress for a total of $4000
Great review. After suffering for over 27 years with sciatica pain from degenerative disc disease, a gift from being hard on my body (being a moron, sports, motocross /hare scrambles) after a bad get off on my dirt bike, I finally got my L5/S1 fused. I was 45 at the time and it's been 10 years pain free since. I wish I had done it sooner, pain can color your life. But, I had heard so many stories of bad surgical outcomes, that I kept putting it off. My brother has had much worse back problems than me (part of why I waited). He started using the Sleep number beds in the 80's and swears by them. I'm finally shopping for one myself, thanks for the tips. I'll give you a tip, find a good neurosurgeon for your back, not an orthopedic.
I've been dealing with my L4 L5 for almost 15 years now. It's been getting worse of late. And It has been affecting my life more so now then ever. Between the lack of sleep and work getting harder to do. Its been a real pain in the rear. I've been putting off the surgery because of the similar stories you probably heard. And my Doctor keeps telling me I'm to young. So I've been looking to see if a better bed would help. But i see you had a good experience with your surgery.
Back pain is the worst for sure. I have been doing core exercises which has helped. It still doesn't do much when they herniate though. That is a nice couple of weeks trying to get that sucker back in and being in constant pain. Doesn't take much either. Just twisting the wrong way will do it. There seems to be no rhyme or reason behind what causes them to push out.
Thanks for the review. I just bought one of these during the Presidents’ Day sale. And you’re absolutely right, only buy during the holiday sales!! Saves so much money!!
Thank you for your helpful review. I too have back and leg problems. We just purchased the I8 bed over memorial weekend and am hopeful I will have improved sleep.
We bought our mattress when it was still called Select Comfort. Longest lasting bed we had. For laughs I would drop her side to 0 and watch her sink. Thanks for the tips. We have new home and awaiting for the next holiday sale.
My wife and I are looking for a new bed. We went to the sleep number bed store on Saturday and got a great deal. We didn’t buy yet because she wanted to take her time to decide if she really wanted it. We will probably go back today because today is Memorial Day. Thanks for the review. I think it will help us make our decision
I’m hoping you read my comments and take them seriously. 1- I can’t do foam tops. Here’s why and I’m serious; during certain sex positions I/we sink and lose our “rhythm”, especially doggy. 2- I’ve got all degenerative L disks with serious sciatica pain and the same leg pains you described. Also serious, my chiropractor recommended an inversion table. Maybe 3 times a week and ZERO pain. 4 minutes per session. It cost me $120, and my mattress sucks. So in the end I’m thinking, SORRY, WASTE OF MONEY. Remember, most people hate to admit they wasted $$$$. But great video.
I have back problems too. I have had my basic Sleep Number bed for 15 years. I did have to replace the pump a couple of years ago, but this bed has made a huge difference to the sleep I get over a traditional mattress. I would love the base and all the other bells and whistle the newer beds like the one reviewed here, but it will have to wait until I can afford it. Thanks for your review. I found it very useful and when I do buy a new bed it will help me buy the best model for my back.
Don’t know if you’ve bought your bed yet, but I got 4 years, 0% interest with mine. It helped so much with the payment. Thank goodness I’m down to the last year of paying!
This was a great review and convinced me this is the right bed for all of the conditions mentioned which I too experience. Right now its on sale and has been discounted for Presidents Day. need to decide to buy now or wait for Memorial Day sale. Thank you.
I had one of the first SNB before they had the adjustment base to them. The pump was so noisy it was unreal. The whole thing was given to me because the person was upgrading. I too have a bad back with 4 surgeries and leg surgeries too. I had to get rid of it after 20 years of use. I really cried when they tore it down. My husband bought me a different kind of bed. Not happy. I haven't had a good night's sleep in 15 years after four different beds. There is nothing better than these beds. I wish I could afford a new one. I'm planning on moving into a different house. That will be the first thing I buy. Keep telling people about them. They will always be the best.
Hopefully you’ve gotten your new bed, but, if not, I got 4 years, 0% interest. It really made the large purchase less painful! I hate the payments but love my bed! i8 with an adjustable base and foot warming.
We bought the I8 split top king and a set of sheets almost 4 yrs ago for $9600. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis so we were hoping this would help with my back and hip pain. My sleep # verys from 35 to 25. Almost 2 yrs after purchase my side would not hold air. Called customer service and they mailed a new bladder and told us since it was still under warranty they had to send out their Techs to install the new bladder but it would cost $100. 00 for travel charges and I had to wait 2 weeks before they showed up. Fast forward 2 yrs and again my side will not hold air. Called customer service and they want me to pay $240. for a new bladder. This replacement bladder has not even lasted 2 yrs. I fo admit when I finally get to sleep, most of the time I sleep without pain. But honestly I will never buy another sleep # bed. I mean we spent 9,600.00 it ought to have a life time warranty!!!
It’s Memorial Day weekend and I just purchased a SNB, awaiting delivery now. I was afraid you had a different tip on saving money but I did good with 50% off on the mattress. It’s a Q size iLE 360 with the FlexFit 3 smart base, which has a foot warmer. I opted for a single chamber since I sleep in the middle of the bed. The salesman said 95% of people buy the dual chamber and was pushing me in that direction but I couldn’t see how that would benefit me having to adjust the bed on two sides all the time. Your review is excellent and I’m looking forward to spending more time in bed! Ha!
I’m glad you’ve had good luck with your mattress. Me, on the other hand, have had two mattresses fail in two years. Getting someone to come out is almost impossible.
Good review. Our experience buyi ng it was not good. Bought Ile on 0%, was demonstrated w/remote. Wound up having to BUY remote and discovered it ONLY operates bed firmness. didnt get lights. Had to make 3 calls to help set up app. Delivery guys were in a hurry to get to next delivery.
I paid $7,000 for a Sleep Number bed. After ONLY 3 years use (still paying on the bed), the compressor quit functioning. Now, with the bed YET paid for entirely, I am being charged ONLY $200 for a new compressor (add $!00 for installment). I am told that the cost would have been much more had the compressor been older than 3-years old.
That's amazing because I have the same one and mine is super quiet. That was my fear that it was going to be loud and I was shocked that's is not loud at all.
Wish I’d seen this before I bought my i8 with the flex fit 3 adjustable base. I paid over $7,000 for my setup! Got 4 years, 0% interest so that helped a little. I agree with your review. Thanks for posting!
The iLE is on sale right now at 50% off, but my wife and I are struggling with the purchase. To us the i8 is SIGNIFICANTLY more comfortable, so we’re trying to decide if it’s worth the extra $1K. Honestly, all these beds are just insanely overpriced for what they are - when did a bed get to be as expensive as a boat or a motorcycle? 🤷
I agree the prices are steep but they are worth every penny. We own 3 sleep number beds and just splurged on the i10 adjustable king and we absolutely love it!
@@cyndieK1 dec 26 sale i8 split flex king with the flex fit 1 base is 6895 which includes taxes and delivery. Can you advise that you are saying the ILE on possibly Memorial Day will be 5k ish for basically the same thing? (Ps flex fit 1 base is raise only top and not foot) apparently my footboard somehow cannot accommodate.
@@petevex1 I think they do run that sale only once a year and on Memorial Day. If you can hold off on buying it I would. I’ve told my family members the same thing.
I’m a mattress delivery driver, I’ve never delivered a mattress to someone who previously had a sleep number and heard good things about it. People hate them.
My number bed is no frills and going on sixteen years old,I also had and still do back issues , a night sleep brought me to tears in the morning untill i was able to set my number at 100 .Have i had good night sleep? You bet I have. The only thing I am missing is elevated legs and my head in a position to read,maybe some day i will be able to get the Qseries 6.1 You will not go wrong to buy this bed.
I bought one 20 years ago. It was a full size, which was fine. The problem was it maintaining air pressure, with constant need to adjust. The bed lasted a good 18 years, but that I needed to replace a cell. I also have lower back problems and hit. This bed was great for me. The concern I hae is this. I am now 65. I don't know that I want to be struggling with customer service and replacement parts at 80 or 85. The comfort was great, but the foam cover deteriorated over time., The phone inserts between cells deteriorated. Right now, I am somewhere else on a horrible matteress that needs to be replaced. I am unsure if I should try to go with the air again or go with a Saatva. I ahve the same concerns about the foam and pillow top. I got so used to adjusting for my pain, that the idea of being locked in to a nonadjustable matteress is a concern for me. You are younger than I am. If you were. 65 and due for a new cell or a new bed. Would you do this again?
Thanks for taking the time to review- we were on the fence about purchasing a SN bed but, your review helped us to decide to do it.. plus, the veterans day sale they are having now, we will save 50%
Awesome review! Fifteen years ago, we spent $6000 for our adjustable split king bed! Plus we’ve replaced a few motors for the Leggitt and Platt adjustable base and also a couple of pumps, not to mention a few lost remotes! Sleep Number knows how to make money! But, the air mattresses have never leaked and while it IS a glorified air mattress and some foam inside a zippered case, it does all the things Rob said and it’s great for aches and pains and helps breathing, when the head is elevated a bit. Great tip on when to buy! The only thing I saw on the ILE bed was that it wasn’t split, so each person can elevate their side of the bed independently. But, it’s an individual choice. If you get a split bed, order sheets with two separate twin or extra long twin fitted sheets and then buy the top sheet separately to cover whatever size bed you have. Otherwise, you have a split top sheet, which you may not like. Not a huge deal, but something to consider.
Om waiting for my delivery now. Sure wish I'd known about the holiday sales. I have hip and shoulder pain that keeps me up alot. Really excited to get mime. Thanx for the excellent review
Hi Robb I was gonna buy Frex C4 but I look your ILE I think that’s better but do you think should I wait till thx giving day ? I have disk issue I like to buy sleep number but this ILE king frex half top could cost me 9000 at least could you see discount price now on web now would you mind give us advices ? Your video is very helpful but I need additional help . We have to let them ship from Honolulu to big island we have to assemble ourselves also . Mahalo akiko
Thanks for the Tips! I Suffer from Degenerative Disc Disorder too due to a work injury and the foot & leg pins & needles is Almost as Bad as the Back Pain. The Only time I sleep more than a few hours is after countless sleepless nights of sure Exhaustion! I've been eyeing this bed for a while now' I will check and see when the next sale is. Thank You for this Review 🙏🏾✊🏾❤️
You're welcome Catherine. Thanks for watching! Lower back pain is the worst. I ended up jacking mine up again this weekend and the bed helped by being able to adjust it.
Appreciated this candid review. My husband bought a sleep number bed easily 25 years ago, still have it. Pillow top with what was available at that time. I am having trouble now with it holding air...could be a simple fix. However, after all these years I am considering a new mattress. I would never go back to a traditional spring coil OR thermarest mattress. When traveling, I find I miss my SC bed. I have a size that is between a queen and a king which I really like. Do they still make this size?? Only downside is you have to purchase special sized sheets through SC in order to fit. HOWEVER, these sheets are awesome and extremely durable. And YES to the elastic straps for bottom fitted sheet!! I am wondering, since I am used to a 'low tech" version, if it is worth it to invest in the technology??
I didn't see a size in between. I think they are just the standard sizes now. We really invested in the thicker top which just happened to come with the tech. Go try them out and see. It's easy to compare them side by side.
Robb Sutton we were just at the Sleep Number store yesterday. They make a California King (72 x 84)that has a width in between the standard king (76 x 80) and queen size (60 x 80), however it is 4 inches longer (84”) for taller people.
How long does it take to “tweet” or “find” your individual sleep number? Have you ever had a tempurpedic? My husband and I have been very satisfied for past 14 years on our tempurpedic.... but we are due for new bed and I traveled with my job more in past and happened upon a sleep number bed in a Luxor’s resort and have been ‘chasing’ that ABSOLUTELY HEAVENLY sleep ever since... To put it in prospective-- I only got 4 hours of sleep and when I woke , I was the most rested I can ever ever remember being my entire life... my concern is being able to ‘find’ or ‘recreate’ my sleep number to match that nights
I bought the King size years ago from Sleep Train. The bed was super comfortable, but I kept sinking in the middle between the two cells. After a week I returned it. I felt like I was falling in a hole all the time.
I just had my 1st nights sleep on the ILE. it was the worst sleep I've had in a long time. ill definitely be giving it a chance since I paid so much for it. I got it on the Labor Day sale. mine didn't come with the remote
Thank you for this review. We just purchased (on Labor Day sale) the same bed and base- in a king. Now I’m really looking forward to it! Thanks for the info.
The mattress is discounted but the base isn't. You get that surprise at checkout. Add the micro climate package an even with 50% off the mattress, it ran 11k. Bought it through. Back in debt.
Continued from above- my husband unfortunately shares your same back problems so your review was extremely personalized for us and with Mothers Day as well as Memorial Day fast approaching, we are very eager to get questions answered so we can get around to wrapping up our decision making pros and cons. Thank you so much in advance for any answers or additional review details you might have. Oh yes, one more thing- we are VERY loyal Boll and Branch sheet buyers and wondered if the sleep number sheets you all are using even come close to the cool crisp softness of boll and branch?
I can't speak on the sheets because I have never used the Boll and Branch ones. You can feel the Sleep Number sheets in the store to see if they compare. We were on a memory foam mattress before this and the sleep number has been much better. People say you don't get pressure points with memory foam but I found that not to be true in my case. I did especially in areas where I was getting pain at the time. It really doesn't take long to find your ideal settings. I think both my wife and I were set within a night or two. They kind of help you out at the store with that as well with the software they have there so you get a good starting point.
I'm late chiming in but you can easily sew elastic on the corners (or have someone do it for you) and you'll have the same tight fit from any brand of sheets, as long as the fitted sheet has elastic all the way around.
Hi Robb! That was a great review! You mentioned that you received a great discount on the mattress, but I wasn't sure if you received a discount on the base. Right now the mattresses are heavily discounted but the bases are not and we don't want to wait for a sale that may never happen! Thanks again:)
Yes the Flexfit 3 base has $300 off currently for a short while! And yes the ILE (Limited Edition) is 50% off for most major holidays! And right now for the weekend we have 25% off the C4 360 Smartbed with a Flexfit base purchase! Hope this helps! Sleep well Soon!
You can buy what are known as sheet gotters they hook on each side of the corner and then hook down around the bed. I used to have four of them because my sheets liked to pop off.
We just purchased a SNB split king version, and so far its had taken some getting used to. but all positive I think. I want to thank you for showing how to install the fitted sheets, as so far no other reviewer including sleep-number them selves don't show the strap going under the adjustable platform and the sheet its self in-between the mattress and the platform.
Am thinking about getting eh split king version how is it working for you now? I need to sleep with my head elevated and my husband needs to sleep flat. We have had a sleep number for 15 years now and I love it. Would like to get another. Do you need special sheets for the split king?
@@pamelamartel7361 Yes you do, two separate mattress. with a split in the middle of the bed. My wife has been in the Hospital since Feb. 27th. So i have deflated her side to 5Lbs. I am now having issues with My side trying to slice off the base. not sure why???? My caregiver has to keep sliding the mattress back on the base. We have not tried to be intimate yet, so I don't know how the split will effect us. but we love this bed.
May 2021 - visited a Sleep Number store again. Mentioned seeing Sleep Number beds that were discounted 50%. The sales person said the 50% discount only applies to the iLE (similar to the i8) mattress and maybe not King split. The sales person said he had heard that it would probably not be on sale for 50% off during the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. The sales person said people are already coming in to buy and they probably didn't need a sale then. The sales person said that the 50% off typically only happens 1-2 times a year and guessed the next one might be in July. Hopefully the FlexFit base will be on sale at the same time. We can wait for the sale.
Just got a C4 SNB during new years sale. Love the adjustable base. Most comfortable bed ever. Gr8 investment for my health. Gr8 job on the review Rob. Totally agree.
Great review. Glad your hip is better. This bed seems as though it is a good fit for me and my wife. I just won't go to Avalon in Alpharetta to purchase it.
This was an awesome review! You were straight to the point and didn't use useless filler information to make the video longer. Everything was crystal clear and I learned a few things I didn't know. By far the BEST video I have seen for a Sleep Number Bed review. Thank you so much!!
Thanks Bella!
@@robb.sutton Hello I have a question on the iLE bed. Is the discount for everything or just the mattress alone?
most of what he’s saying is correct however within the last few years the 360 smart beds have been updated . You can’t hear the pump so if you are a person who tosses and turns leave that responsive air setting ON!! It has saved my hips and shoulders! Also, the iLE is a great mattress but the sister bed to this would be the i8 which most people will Choose that bed over the iLE because it’s softer.
This is nothing like an air mattress. Yes, they work with air. But the baffles themselves have 4 inch chambers inside. So the air chamber plus the responsive air is what keeps you aligned throughout the night constantly relieving pressure points. I got my bed just last January and it’s awesome. Definitely worth every penny.
One of the best reviews about SNB’s, thanks!
FYI - We have found that regular, not sleep number brand, deep pocket fitted sheets that fit mattresses up to 18" deep work on sleep number beds and don't pop off.
We have had one for 17 years now it's time for a new one. We will never buy any other bed!. So comfy but I love a temperpedic pillow it's a must. I too have a back problem and sleep better on a sleep number. Thanks for the tip on when to buy!
I paid $5000 for my bed but It Saved My 15 year Back Pain. It was $7000 but got it on sale for 4th of July. Also got the sheets that dissipates heat 😀
I can't wait to get one too my back pain is incredible and I felt a sleep number bed recently wait and it was a night and day difference in the pain levels
Which bed did you end up buying?
Well done review thank you. We are 72 Y.O. and back pain is our issue. We have tried for years to get a good bed but we failed everytime. Too Firm is always the problem. Last time about a year i was determined to get a soft mattress. It was 17 inches thick and Ultra Plush. It was not soft, just Mountain of a mattress. My wife short and struggles just to get in the dang thing. in 2007 I bought a Sleep Number pillow and it finally died on me. We were the mall nearby and i was able to order a pillow. They were shocked I was still on their records and still had the same pillow. They had a new design and suggested i try in on a bed. While there I asked them to make the bed as soft as possible. They stopped at 35 and I could feel my back relaxing. That bed at 35 and this contour pillow were very nice. I suggested my wife try it. She found it better at 45 but still most comfortable, then the sales lady lifted her feet and head just a bit and she was shocked how much better that was on het legs, hip and breathing. Then she did the numbers and the bed as you mentioned was on a sale of $700 off list price. by the time we were done it was over $6,000. That took outr breath away and we took the quote with us but i knew my wife was not enthused. Then today i woke up in such pain i had to roll onto the floor to get my pants on then hobbled around for several hours before my back would let me walk normally. So i began to search reviews and saw yours. You like all the same stuff we saw, but the notion of deep discounts during holidays could be my saviour. I will be watching them closely Late May and early July to see if anything moves as you have explained. Thanks, Dennis
Dennis, what did you end up doing. I bought one in my 40's. I am now 65. One of the cells has gone. What I found annoying was the fact that the foam deteriorates, and it needs replacement parts. On the other hand, I never slept so well. I was concerned about taking the plunge to get an updated bed and having to screw around with it at 85. what did you do?
I work at sleep number and I think you did a great job reviewing our product glad to hear you love it!
Awesome! Thank you!
Too bad the company you work for still continues to have bladder leak issues in 2021 you'd think that your company would have been able to remedy this problematic breakdown that your mattress has to this day.
@@gonzobongo6669 I agree those issues will arise just like any other product runs the risk of some having issues. Luckily my experience I have not heard of any new mattress leaking.
I bought just the mattress ensemble on line refurbished. It was $750 and fit on my new bed perfectly and I've had it for 15 years. I'm old now and won't buy another one this in life time. But I've had to make a few tweaks to the remote and the pillowtop. But I love it. Good value. Great support.
Judy, What platform did you use to buy your SNB? We need to sell ours. It’s in great condition, three years old. It’s been remarkable for my bad knee, and I was able to put away my cane!😊
Great review.
My Wife and I just got our 2nd SNB, our 1st one 11 years ago and was a C3 with Remote, hut the pump was failing.
So we decided to upgrade our Queen C3.
But when they came with our bed they could get it up to our BEDROOM, the Flex fit base wouldn't fit around the corner at the top of our UPstairs because it's a one piece solid base, so we upgraded to a Split Top king with the Flex 2 base.
So for the inconvenience they gave us a set of sheets for our bed.
But the differance is the King base is 2 seperate pieces and they were able to stand the base up and walk it around the corner, go figure.
They called to say they couldn't deliver the bed because it hadn't arrived at the loading dock, so we had to wait a month to get it, so for that the person on the phone gave us another set of sheets for the inconvenience, so now we have 2 sets of sheets for the bed for free retail is $200.
We also bought a set of split top King Sheets from Amazon for $39.99 and they fit great and they do have the straps to hold it on.
So we're very happy with the new Bed.
I have Anklosing Spondylitis and my Wife has Ms, so we deal with alot of pain and the new Bed has made a huge differance, we're both sleeping much better, not sure how accurate the sleep tracking is either but I like looking at them though.
Here are the sheets we bought.

Hi I was about to purchase a sleep number bed and I ran into your video and truly appreciate your review great insight and it will save me a ton of money😍
Hey Aydan did you end up purchasing a sleep
Number bed? If so which one did you choose?
Your review style is great. You come across like a regular guy and not a "RUclipsr" or pitchman. I came to see what these beds were all about but I'll be subscribing because of your communication style. Oh and great lamps!
Thanks! I try to keep things as natural as possible.
Yep! Those lamps are on point!
Your review saved me $1000 dollars and allowed me to upgrade to an flex King... thanks
Nice! Glad to help Ty!
Thanks very much for your honest review. I’ve had my SNB over 20 years now and been wanting upgrade but been so confused with the new features but didn’t want to wait until I get to a store to be pressured by a salesperson into buying what they need to get rid off and rather do a lot of my research online to have some information for when I get to the store.
We have had our Select Comfort (Sleep Number's name previously) for 23 years and not had any issues with it. Ours doesn't have all the tech the new one has but it still has the pump and comfort layers of foam. We have decided to get a new bed and are going with the ILE with an adjustable base and are going to move our old bed into our camper because it is still a great bed. Our pump is extremely quiet, I almost can't hear it run so I am concerned that the new one is loud but perhaps it won't be an issue for us. I can't speak to their warranty because we didn't have to use it but I can say we couldn't be happier with our first purchase after many restful nights and expect this new one will be just as good.
I was just in the store trying them out, and the pump is so quiet I could barely hear it!
I paid a total 8 grand for my i8 split king with base, sheets,mattres cover, cooling pad ect.. love it!!
Thanks a million for this review Robb. Sleep No Bed simply needs to locate you and pay some commissions, LOL. I was on the fence about which mattress to buy, as i have an onset of lower back pains the past two weeks. I listened to your review, and 15 minutes later, i was shopping. Coincidentally, They have a 50% discount (President's Day sale) on the Limited edition Queen Dual iLE s360. so i got a $2500 discount off the base cost of $5099. I then added all those fancy perks, The FlexFit 3, and ended up paying just over $5k. I am so excited and can't wait to try it in a few weeks. I appreciate everyone's comments. all of that helped me to decide. Thanks
My bed is pre 2011. Its a single bladder queen since I sleep alone.
I think I got it in 2005 or 2006.
It was top of the line at that time.
I have never had one single problem with until this past move when it started leaking air. The extra tube plug was a bit loose. Adjusted it and I'm going to try it tonight.
I would never sleep on any other bed, hut a Sleep Number bed.
One of the better reviews I have viewed especially after visiting the store two days ago. Thanks!
I hope you didn't buy one.
Your medical situation is exactly like mine, minus the ptsd and anxiety lmao. That's why I'm getting this bed.
Thk u for your video.I am extremely upset right now bc both of my parents have a SNB and BOTH OF THEM ARE SLEEPING IN HORRIBLE PAIN WITH CHRONIC DISC PROBLEMS AND ARTHRITIS AND BEDS THAT DO NOT WORK WITH NOONE TO Talk with bc the "tech ppl" are in NEW ORLEANS WHERE THE HURRICANE KILLED EVERYTHING!!! GETTING HELP TO ADJUST THESE BEDS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!
I’ve sold Sleep Number beds for over 16 years. But I’m not representing the company, here, just giving my two cents.
It’s a publicly traded company, no franchises, all stores are corporately owned. Pricing is the same everywhere.
This review is more accurate than most, at this time- but things change quickly. Functions in the SleepIQ app are constantly improving.
My tip to the reviewer is to take the slick pillow protector off your pillow so your case will stay on. We sell woven cotton protectors that would work better for you.
2nd tip, those elastic anchor bands on your fitted sheet are designed to go just under the mattress, not the FlexFit adjustable base. They’ll last longer and you’ll be able to tuck in your top sheet.
Thanks for the tip Sandy!
SN beds and their customer service sucks.
@@STZNCCTX Thats what I here. Not sure i want to spend $3,000 + dollars on a mattress.
@@bc_usa Avoid it, there is better options out there than SN....
Just started myself, 👋
The Perfect Comfort youTube video did a comparison of the Sleep Number bed and the Perfect Comfort. One of the interesting differences was how the mattress stays on the frame: SN has super-strong magnets (at least in this video) which the video points out could cause damage to electronics, pace-makers...basically anything that is affected by strong magnets. The PC mattress has a metal bar that is inserted at the base of the mattress. I'm new to these high-tech mattresses...am trying to learn the pros and cons so I can make a smart decision. Your video has been very helpful. If we do purchase SN, we'll definitely wait until a holiday! Thanks.
We bought the Sleep Number C2 and the queen mattress topper from MyPillow. The combination enhanced the whole characteristics of the bed. Amazing comfort, no sunken feeling no bed anomalies, and still adjustable. Bought my son same combo everywhere he goes he tells people about his bed. Mattress only $1167.56 (with FORCED shipping/setup and taxes). Mattress Topper $297.00. Basically, turned a $1000 bed into a $3500.00 bed. Note: I reused my box springs and frame. Install techs reversed the hoses. Make sure yours are correct or your bed may suck/blow and you do not know why.
Must have bought an adjustable base. The shipping set up is 300.00 plus 300 topper plus 1167 plus taxes looking at 2200.00
I have had the ILE King with the flexfit base and the only complaint I have in the 8 years we have owned it is they didn't cat proof the lighting underneath the bed the lights were out in 3 days. Would buy it again. Great review
What did your cat do to knock out the lighting? My husband and I are about to purchase one of these with this type base. And we have three cats. Lol so was just curious. Thanks.
@@AmeliasMiMi my cat chewed on the exposed wires along the frame where the lighting was routed
@@garroy7051 oh my goodness. Thank you so much for the quick response. Hopefully they have cat proofed it by now. But I suppose only time will tell. 🥴😊
This is the best review regarding SNB. Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it Aisha!
I bought mine on a sale and got a huge healthcare worker discount. Love my sleep number bed. I did kinda get conned into the expensive base which you dont actually need. You can get the cheap non adjustable base.
This was a super clear and helpful review. We’re on the fence between temper and this. As two crossfitters we beat ourselves up all the time, soooo, adjustability my the be feature that she’s the difference!
im a rock climber who has back pain very often from an accident prior, the adjustable stiffness and base is where the sleep number really shines for us, being able to sit at 130* angle to rest my lower back is a god send.
Man I appreciate the review. I’ve read and looked at so many reviews and this one seems like a fair review. Not perfect but very functional over all.
Thanks Chris!
This was helpful. My wife and I are in the market for a bed like this and Black Friday is around the corner
Update: I purchase the i10 360 yesterday and got an unbelievable deal, I’m talking about $4,900 off, couldn’t pass that up. Now I’ll have to wait til the end of December to sleep in it. Very excited tho, and even more so my wife
How did you get this awesome discount?
@@granthumphrey9757 Employees at the Sleep number stores get a a certain number of coupons every year, to give to friends and family. Those coupons give you 50% off mattresses and 30% off the frame and everything else. The lady I was talking to at the store offered it to me, because it was expiring the next day. I got super lucky
How much did you end up
Paying?
@@shantaeholland5939 Around $7,500
We bought our 2nd SNB in 2021 from the Tucson store, but waited until we made a move to Las Cruces, NM, before we had it delivered. It is a 360 bed, both sides of the bed adjust separately so we have two separate twin-size mattresses and the base is separate so I can raise mine at a different level than my husband. The only regret I have is that we should have bought the California King that is 4" longer & 4" shorter in width. I have learned that I don't like to raise up the foot of the bed, but he does, since we bought the regular King size, the top sheet won't stay tucked in at the bottom, & if we have the head of the bed on each side raised, then our feet stick out the bottom of the bed. Neither one of us are tall, but when you raise the head of the bed it pushes you closer to the bottom, if we had that extra 4" in the length, we wouldn't have that problem. Being 4" closer to each other as far as width isn't a problem, but I really wish we had bought the California King that is 72" x 84". Keep in mind that you would also have to buy sheets that are for a California King & in our case, our bottom sheets are twin size, completely separate, with one top sheet over both of us.
Love your reviews. Watched your Husky toolbox review, and now this one because I have back pain also… with a wife that wants a bed super soft. Love the speed and delivery of your reviews. Subscribed!
I fell asleep watching this video. Thanks for the savings!
Love mine ‘ Labor Day sale saved me 50% on the mattress ,or else I wouldn’t have done it .I got the top of the line mattress ile and flex base , it’s the best thing I’ve ever slept on for my back pain , I wake up feeling new !! The Lyocell sheets are really a comfort factor too
It's a year later and I'm thinking of getting a Sleep Number bed. Still like yours?
Don't buy Sleep Number beds with adjustable bed frame. Air bag lasted 2.75 years and had to be replaced "under warranty"........$270! Also, if your a big person the bed deforms on the sides. I forgot to add this nice touch.....if the replacement air bags do not fix the issue there is no return policy!! Avoid sleep number beds and save yourself thousands!!
Thanks for the great review. My wife and I just bought a P6 during the President's Day Sale. I hope our experience with it matches up with yours.
Originally I bought a select comfort king size bed in the late 1990s. I purchased the bed and frame and, reluctantly (only option) had it shipped to me and installed it myself. My wife and I loved it. She got it in the divorce:( It made little difference since I was a truck driver and basically lived in my truck 24/7.
Fast forward to my retirement. 5 years ago, I purchased a twin size Sleep number mattress. Again shipped to me and I self installed.
Now 5 years later I am having issues with my air chamber losing air. I contact support and find my bed came with a 25 year limited warranty. After going over the bed I decided that I needed a new air chamber, hose(starting to crack) and foam(losing shape). Those three items, after only 5 years of a 25 year warranty, will cost me another $300.00. The whole bed only cost me $700.00.
So, I decided to upgrade to a Twin XL since my adjustable frame was designed for an XL. I inquired about an upgrade. Basically I can get a C2 Smart bed Twin XL for $799.00. Not that different from what I paid for my current bed, considering inflation. Only this one just has a 15 year warranty. Hmmmm
I wonder why they shortened the warranty?
Next the give me a quote. $799 for the bed(not bad), $159.80 sale discount(good deal), $249 delivery and premium setup fee(WHAT??????) $86.60 tax for a total of $974.80.(well, it's under a grand)
I asked about waiving the Delivery and Premium Setup fee since I had never had them setup my bed before. After all it is not rocket science. I'm 73 and have been moving beds all my life. 50 years ago I sold and installed water beds. I know how to set up a bed. I even explained to them that I let NO ONE into my house, especially not the bedroom for safety and security reasons. Well forget that. The fee is mandatory.
My decision was that Select Comfort/Sleep Number just lost a long time customer. The MOST I will do now is fix my current bed under warranty. After all, at 73 how much longer will I need it?
Plain and Simple fact, I do not trust these companies to come in and "case" my home.
Buy it before Presidents’ Day. I paid for a cal king iLE mattress that was $6000 for $2900 plus got 4 pillows, the protector for the mattress for a total of $4000
Thank you for making this this is a really hard expensive decision to make I'm not quite sure about the discount thing but will do more research on it
Great review. After suffering for over 27 years with sciatica pain from degenerative disc disease, a gift from being hard on my body (being a moron, sports, motocross /hare scrambles) after a bad get off on my dirt bike, I finally got my L5/S1 fused. I was 45 at the time and it's been 10 years pain free since. I wish I had done it sooner, pain can color your life. But, I had heard so many stories of bad surgical outcomes, that I kept putting it off. My brother has had much worse back problems than me (part of why I waited). He started using the Sleep number beds in the 80's and swears by them. I'm finally shopping for one myself, thanks for the tips. I'll give you a tip, find a good neurosurgeon for your back, not an orthopedic.
I've been dealing with my L4 L5 for almost 15 years now. It's been getting worse of late. And It has been affecting my life more so now then ever. Between the lack of sleep and work getting harder to do. Its been a real pain in the rear. I've been putting off the surgery because of the similar stories you probably heard. And my Doctor keeps telling me I'm to young. So I've been looking to see if a better bed would help. But i see you had a good experience with your surgery.
Back pain is the worst for sure. I have been doing core exercises which has helped. It still doesn't do much when they herniate though. That is a nice couple of weeks trying to get that sucker back in and being in constant pain. Doesn't take much either. Just twisting the wrong way will do it. There seems to be no rhyme or reason behind what causes them to push out.
Thank you for being so honest in your review and really appreciate how you explained on getting a better deal! 😄😴😴😊
Thanks for the review. I just bought one of these during the Presidents’ Day sale. And you’re absolutely right, only buy during the holiday sales!! Saves so much money!!
Wonder if St Patrick's day is good enough for a good sale?
Thank you for your helpful review. I too have back and leg problems. We just purchased the I8 bed over memorial weekend and am hopeful I will have improved sleep.
It has helped me a lot so I hope it does the same for you as well. Back problems are the worst.
Great to know, thank you for your time and trouble!
We bought our mattress when it was still called Select Comfort. Longest lasting bed we had. For laughs I would drop her side to 0 and watch her sink. Thanks for the tips. We have new home and awaiting for the next holiday sale.
Great review. We use sleep number too and love it!!
Thank you so much for your input. I have the same spinal issues as you and so need improvement in a bed for us both.
My wife and I are looking for a new bed. We went to the sleep number bed store on Saturday and got a great deal. We didn’t buy yet because she wanted to take her time to decide if she really wanted it. We will probably go back today because today is Memorial Day. Thanks for the review. I think it will help us make our decision
Glad I was able to help Scott. Let me know how it goes.
I’m hoping you read my comments and take them seriously. 1- I can’t do foam tops. Here’s why and I’m serious; during certain sex positions I/we sink and lose our “rhythm”, especially doggy. 2- I’ve got all degenerative L disks with serious sciatica pain and the same leg pains you described. Also serious, my chiropractor recommended an inversion table. Maybe 3 times a week and ZERO pain. 4 minutes per session. It cost me $120, and my mattress sucks. So in the end I’m thinking, SORRY, WASTE OF MONEY. Remember, most people hate to admit they wasted $$$$. But great video.
I have back problems too. I have had my basic Sleep Number bed for 15 years. I did have to replace the pump a couple of years ago, but this bed has made a huge difference to the sleep I get over a traditional mattress. I would love the base and all the other bells and whistle the newer beds like the one reviewed here, but it will have to wait until I can afford it. Thanks for your review. I found it very useful and when I do buy a new bed it will help me buy the best model for my back.
Don’t know if you’ve bought your bed yet, but I got 4 years, 0% interest with mine. It helped so much with the payment. Thank goodness I’m down to the last year of paying!
@@amyelliott9640 m
This was a great review and convinced me this is the right bed for all of the conditions mentioned which I too experience. Right now its on sale and has been discounted for Presidents Day. need to decide to buy now or wait for Memorial Day sale. Thank you.
Make more videos. Your review of this product was very effective and comprehensive. Thank you.
I have more in the works. I am currently building out a studio so that I have more flexibility with the production. Stay tuned!
I had one of the first SNB before they had the adjustment base to them. The pump was so noisy it was unreal. The whole thing was given to me because the person was upgrading. I too have a bad back with 4 surgeries and leg surgeries too. I had to get rid of it after 20 years of use. I really cried when they tore it down. My husband bought me a different kind of bed. Not happy. I haven't had a good night's sleep in 15 years after four different beds. There is nothing better than these beds. I wish I could afford a new one. I'm planning on moving into a different house. That will be the first thing I buy. Keep telling people about them. They will always be the best.
Wow 👏 what a sad story 😢 😞
Hopefully you’ve gotten your new bed, but, if not, I got 4 years, 0% interest. It really made the large purchase less painful! I hate the payments but love my bed! i8 with an adjustable base and foot warming.
We bought the I8 split top king and a set of sheets almost 4 yrs ago for $9600. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis so we were hoping this would help with my back and hip pain. My sleep # verys from 35 to 25. Almost 2 yrs after purchase my side would not hold air. Called customer service and they mailed a new bladder and told us since it was still under warranty they had to send out their Techs to install the new bladder but it would cost $100. 00 for travel charges and I had to wait 2 weeks before they showed up. Fast forward 2 yrs and again my side will not hold air. Called customer service and they want me to pay $240. for a new bladder. This replacement bladder has not even lasted 2 yrs. I fo admit when I finally get to sleep, most of the time I sleep without pain. But honestly I will never buy another sleep # bed. I mean we spent 9,600.00 it ought to have a life time warranty!!!
It’s Memorial Day weekend and I just purchased a SNB, awaiting delivery now. I was afraid you had a different tip on saving money but I did good with 50% off on the mattress. It’s a Q size iLE 360 with the FlexFit 3 smart base, which has a foot warmer. I opted for a single chamber since I sleep in the middle of the bed. The salesman said 95% of people buy the dual chamber and was pushing me in that direction but I couldn’t see how that would benefit me having to adjust the bed on two sides all the time. Your review is excellent and I’m looking forward to spending more time in bed! Ha!
Dude, you are an excellent reviewer!
Thanks!
I’m glad you’ve had good luck with your mattress. Me, on the other hand, have had two mattresses fail in two years. Getting someone to come out is almost impossible.
Good review. Our experience buyi ng it was not good. Bought Ile on 0%, was demonstrated w/remote. Wound up having to BUY remote and discovered it ONLY operates bed firmness. didnt get lights. Had to make 3 calls to help set up app. Delivery guys were in a hurry to get to next delivery.
I paid $7,000 for a Sleep Number bed. After ONLY 3 years use (still paying on the bed), the compressor quit functioning. Now, with the bed YET paid for entirely, I am being charged ONLY $200 for a new compressor (add $!00 for installment). I am told that the cost would have been much more had the compressor been older than 3-years old.
And they say 10 yrs warranty😂
That's amazing because I have the same one and mine is super quiet. That was my fear that it was going to be loud and I was shocked that's is not loud at all.
Wish I’d seen this before I bought my i8 with the flex fit 3 adjustable base. I paid over $7,000 for my setup! Got 4 years, 0% interest so that helped a little. I agree with your review. Thanks for posting!
Asking $8,800 pre tax/deliveries for the same setup now. Did you get the split top king or?
I am about to purchase an i8 would you recommend?
The iLE is on sale right now at 50% off, but my wife and I are struggling with the purchase. To us the i8 is SIGNIFICANTLY more comfortable, so we’re trying to decide if it’s worth the extra $1K. Honestly, all these beds are just insanely overpriced for what they are - when did a bed get to be as expensive as a boat or a motorcycle? 🤷
I agree the prices are steep but they are worth every penny. We own 3 sleep number beds and just splurged on the i10 adjustable king and we absolutely love it!
@@cyndieK1 dec 26 sale i8 split flex king with the flex fit 1 base is 6895 which includes taxes and delivery. Can you advise that you are saying the ILE on possibly Memorial Day will be 5k ish for basically the same thing? (Ps flex fit 1 base is raise only top and not foot) apparently my footboard somehow cannot accommodate.
@@petevex1 I think they do run that sale only once a year and on Memorial Day. If you can hold off on buying it I would. I’ve told my family members the same thing.
I’m a mattress delivery driver, I’ve never delivered a mattress to someone who previously had a sleep number and heard good things about it. People hate them.
Great review, thanks. And LOVE the lamps!
Love my sleep number bed. Loved the review right spot on.
Ohhh same thing! My sciatica.. now my hips sink… on my actual 5 yo mattress:0( Im 120lbs side sleeper ) and I sleep in batches of 2 hours
My number bed is no frills and going on sixteen years old,I also had and still do back issues , a night sleep brought me to tears in the morning untill i was able to set my number at 100 .Have i had good night sleep? You bet I have. The only thing I am missing is elevated legs and my head in a position to read,maybe some day i will be able to get the Qseries 6.1 You will not go wrong to buy this bed.
Great review and video. We need a new bed and we are thinking about Sleep Number. Thanks
Hi 2499 for everything base n pillows ?
I bought one 20 years ago. It was a full size, which was fine. The problem was it maintaining air pressure, with constant need to adjust. The bed lasted a good 18 years, but that I needed to replace a cell. I also have lower back problems and hit. This bed was great for me. The concern I hae is this. I am now 65. I don't know that I want to be struggling with customer service and replacement parts at 80 or 85. The comfort was great, but the foam cover deteriorated over time., The phone inserts between cells deteriorated. Right now, I am somewhere else on a horrible matteress that needs to be replaced. I am unsure if I should try to go with the air again or go with a Saatva. I ahve the same concerns about the foam and pillow top. I got so used to adjusting for my pain, that the idea of being locked in to a nonadjustable matteress is a concern for me. You are younger than I am. If you were. 65 and due for a new cell or a new bed. Would you do this again?
Thanks for taking the time to review- we were on the fence about purchasing a SN bed but, your review helped us to decide to do it.. plus, the veterans day sale they are having now, we will save 50%
how do you like your bed now?
You are very good at reviews....thanks!
Awesome review! Fifteen years ago, we spent $6000 for our adjustable split king bed! Plus we’ve replaced a few motors for the Leggitt and Platt adjustable base and also a couple of pumps, not to mention a few lost remotes! Sleep Number knows how to make money! But, the air mattresses have never leaked and while it IS a glorified air mattress and some foam inside a zippered case, it does all the things Rob said and it’s great for aches and pains and helps breathing, when the head is elevated a bit. Great tip on when to buy! The only thing I saw on the ILE bed was that it wasn’t split, so each person can elevate their side of the bed independently. But, it’s an individual choice. If you get a split bed, order sheets with two separate twin or extra long twin fitted sheets and then buy the top sheet separately to cover whatever size bed you have. Otherwise, you have a split top sheet, which you may not like. Not a huge deal, but something to consider.
Thanks for taking the time to weigh in on your experience!

Thank You for this Review 🙏🏾✊🏾❤️
You're welcome Catherine. Thanks for watching! Lower back pain is the worst. I ended up jacking mine up again this weekend and the bed helped by being able to adjust it.
best. review. ever. thx!
Appreciated this candid review. My husband bought a sleep number bed easily 25 years ago, still have it. Pillow top with what was available at that time. I am having trouble now with it holding air...could be a simple fix. However, after all these years I am considering a new mattress. I would never go back to a traditional spring coil OR thermarest mattress. When traveling, I find I miss my SC bed. I have a size that is between a queen and a king which I really like. Do they still make this size?? Only downside is you have to purchase special sized sheets through SC in order to fit. HOWEVER, these sheets are awesome and extremely durable. And YES to the elastic straps for bottom fitted sheet!! I am wondering, since I am used to a 'low tech" version, if it is worth it to invest in the technology??
I didn't see a size in between. I think they are just the standard sizes now. We really invested in the thicker top which just happened to come with the tech. Go try them out and see. It's easy to compare them side by side.
Robb Sutton we were just at the Sleep Number store yesterday. They make a California King (72 x 84)that has a width in between the standard king (76 x 80) and queen size (60 x 80), however it is 4 inches longer (84”) for taller people.
How long does it take to “tweet” or “find” your individual sleep number? Have you ever had a tempurpedic? My husband and I have been very satisfied for past 14 years on our tempurpedic.... but we are due for new bed and I traveled with my job more in past and happened upon a sleep number bed in a Luxor’s resort and have been ‘chasing’ that ABSOLUTELY HEAVENLY sleep ever since...
To put it in prospective-- I only got 4 hours of sleep and when I woke , I was the most rested I can ever ever remember being my entire life... my concern is being able to ‘find’ or ‘recreate’ my sleep number to match that nights
I bought the King size years ago from Sleep Train. The bed was super comfortable, but I kept sinking in the middle between the two cells. After a week I returned it. I felt like I was falling in a hole all the time.
Sleep Number beds are only sold at Sleep Number locations. Are you sure it’s a Sleep Number? Might be Sleep Trains version or something.
Great review thank you!
I just had my 1st nights sleep on the ILE. it was the worst sleep I've had in a long time. ill definitely be giving it a chance since I paid so much for it. I got it on the Labor Day sale. mine didn't come with the remote
Do u still hate it? Iam looking for a king size bed with a good matress since I have two bilding disk in lower back
Thank you for this review. We just purchased (on Labor Day sale) the same bed and base- in a king. Now I’m really looking forward to it! Thanks for the info.
The mattress is discounted but the base isn't. You get that surprise at checkout. Add the micro climate package an even with 50% off the mattress, it ran 11k. Bought it through. Back in debt.
Continued from above- my husband unfortunately shares your same back problems so your review was extremely personalized for us and with Mothers Day as well as Memorial Day fast approaching, we are very eager to get questions answered so we can get around to wrapping up our decision making pros and cons. Thank you so much in advance for any answers or additional review details you might have. Oh yes, one more thing- we are VERY loyal Boll and Branch sheet buyers and wondered if the sleep number sheets you all are using even come close to the cool crisp softness of boll and branch?
I can't speak on the sheets because I have never used the Boll and Branch ones. You can feel the Sleep Number sheets in the store to see if they compare. We were on a memory foam mattress before this and the sleep number has been much better. People say you don't get pressure points with memory foam but I found that not to be true in my case. I did especially in areas where I was getting pain at the time. It really doesn't take long to find your ideal settings. I think both my wife and I were set within a night or two. They kind of help you out at the store with that as well with the software they have there so you get a good starting point.
I'm late chiming in but you can easily sew elastic on the corners (or have someone do it for you) and you'll have the same tight fit from any brand of sheets, as long as the fitted sheet has elastic all the way around.
Thanks for well informed to the point review. Liked your back side Lamps.
Hi Robb! That was a great review! You mentioned that you received a great discount on the mattress, but I wasn't sure if you received a discount on the base. Right now the mattresses are heavily discounted but the bases are not and we don't want to wait for a sale that may never happen! Thanks again:)
Yes the Flexfit 3 base has $300 off currently for a short while! And yes the ILE (Limited Edition) is 50% off for most major holidays! And right now for the weekend we have 25% off the C4 360 Smartbed with a Flexfit base purchase! Hope this helps! Sleep well Soon!
You can buy what are known as sheet gotters they hook on each side of the corner and then hook down around the bed. I used to have four of them because my sheets liked to pop off.
Great info thanks!
We just purchased a SNB split king version, and so far its had taken some getting used to. but all positive I think. I want to thank you for showing how to install the fitted sheets, as so far no other reviewer including sleep-number them selves don't show the strap going under the adjustable platform and the sheet its self in-between the mattress and the platform.
Am thinking about getting eh split king version how is it working for you now? I need to sleep with my head elevated and my husband needs to sleep flat. We have had a sleep number for 15 years now and I love it. Would like to get another. Do you need special sheets for the split king?
@@pamelamartel7361 Yes you do, two separate mattress. with a split in the middle of the bed. My wife has been in the Hospital since Feb. 27th. So i have deflated her side to 5Lbs. I am now having issues with My side trying to slice off the base. not sure why???? My caregiver has to keep sliding the mattress back on the base. We have not tried to be intimate yet, so I don't know how the split will effect us. but we love this bed.
May 2021 - visited a Sleep Number store again. Mentioned seeing Sleep Number beds that were discounted 50%. The sales person said the 50% discount only applies to the iLE (similar to the i8) mattress and maybe not King split. The sales person said he had heard that it would probably not be on sale for 50% off during the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. The sales person said people are already coming in to buy and they probably didn't need a sale then. The sales person said that the 50% off typically only happens 1-2 times a year and guessed the next one might be in July. Hopefully the FlexFit base will be on sale at the same time. We can wait for the sale.
great review, is the bed still working well for you?
It is. Here is the follow up video. ruclips.net/video/x5rkovhZcjw/видео.html
I have had my SN bed for over 25 years. My only complaint is with customer service. They tend to leave you dangling to fix something yourself.
Just got a C4 SNB during new years sale. Love the adjustable base. Most comfortable bed ever. Gr8 investment for my health. Gr8 job on the review Rob. Totally agree.
Great review.
Glad your hip is better. This bed seems as though it is a good fit for me and my wife. I just won't go to Avalon in Alpharetta to purchase it.
We are in Milton!
I have owned sleep number beds for 10years ....loving the hot/cold mattress settings,twin long though is sagging in the middle of the mattress
You paid $3,000 for a mattress that sags in the middle !!?? I have a bridge I can sell you.
@@bc_usa oh don't be mad because you can't afford it. They have the best beds on the market
@@bc_usa lmao
@@Invader501st apparently expensive beds that sag.
@@randygreen007 I mean mine doesn't sag 🤷♂️
