I hated the Radisson sleep numbers, I never slept good on them. We have a 9 year old iComfort that is still serving us great. Doesn’t seem to impede on the extra curricular either.

I wish. They are worth looking up though as they are consistently one of the highest rated and not obscenely priced mattresses available. Consumer reports had their reliability rated higher than anything at the time. No dents or divots or sag. Also great with tortilla chips.

I can vouch for that... Hated it, so we sold it pronto

I can vouch for that too. My wife and I call them "trenches" (we are both in decent shape, too, so it's not an 'overweight' problem). We are on our third mattress that has done it. We successfully had the two previous mattresses replaced under warranty, where they applied the previous purchase price to a brand new mattress. Three different brands and it's done the same thing, except we are now barely out of the original 10-year warranty, and have to start over - so we are considering the sleep number for the exact same reason you describe.

My Sister and her husband have one and they love it. My mom also has one that is older, so doesn't have the fancy app that gives you nightly sleep stats. The only thing I wonder with he sleep number and 'trenches' forming, is if the foam layers are what ends up being the problem, and not the air chamber/coils. I guess with the sleep number you can change out the air chamber, so maybe you can change out the foam layers if they start to give way?

We went to the store and briefly looked at the 'partial split' where only the top 40% splits. You have to buy their sheets for that, and their mattress pad. Add that to the $3k base to make use of the split, and the feet warming thing and you can approach $10 grand for a bed. FOR. A. BED. I think if we get one, we'll go the regular King, thank you very much.

We use the spring mattress with memory foam for the upper padding. Solved the divot and support problem but has the comfort of the foam. Not sure the brand but my wife bought it on Wayfair and the price was middle of the road.

I did two sheep skins sewn together on a fine new bed.
cons: it’s not very wide & the outline is visible under the sheet.

Nothing will ever beat my old G.I. rack with springs and metal slats reinforced with wound parachute cord. : )

We had a Sleep Number bed about 6 years ago. I went the cheap route and bought a look-alike out of St Louis. It was a joke. Pump failed after two months. Paid $750 for the bed & they wanted me to send it back but I had to
pay for shipping (nearly $200)

I went & bought the Sleep Number (after wasting $750) and we hated it. It is two twins together so we “sunk” in the middle. After a couple of years, we went to a local store & bought a regular mattress.

Any advice on the Purple mattress? I have a friend who swears by it.

Thanks for so much input, I had to chuckle when I decided to post this because I thought I would have been heckled more. I have also slept on the Radisson sleep numbers back in the day and frankly I didn’t love them because they did feel like a glorified air mattress. I sleep well in most places as long as the environment is comfortable such as temp, noise and humidity are low. My better half struggles a lot with back and hip pain while sleeping so we stopped in the store and was somewhat impressed by the sleep number but it’s hard to justify nearly $8k on a somewhat gimmicky type bed.

Check it out, Adjustable bed, no pumps, no motors, washable wool cover, foam top, 10 yr warranty, 100 night trial, free returns....less than half the cost of sleep number!!!!!

After back surgery, this is the only one that worked in our family. Had it for 6 yrs now, no problems, no sagging.
