Anybody here own one? Due to a rough motorcycle accident years ago my back is getting more and more sensitive to a mattress I am on the hunt for a new one. It is a pretty good chunk of change, figured I would get some opinions if possible.

Looking at the I10, king size, standard base, not split.

Thanks
 
We’ve got a queen size not sure of the model. It has separate air control settings for left and right side. Not split in the sense of lifting the head or feet. It’s just the standard flat bed. I like it. Wasn’t too keen on the idea to begin with but it’s definitely worth the price IMO. it’s nice to be able to change the firmness at the touch of a button. Would definitely recommend getting the memory foam topper also. Hope this helps.
 
I had disc surgery years back, now have 6 'dessicated' discs! We went from many years with a waterbed with tubes that could be adjusted individually for firmness, to some different mattresses, and a memory foam $$ mattress. None worked well.
Spent an hour at the sleep number store trying different settings. Bought it a year ago, I couldn't be happier!
Take the time to visit the store and check it out.
 
We have had ours for a few ears now. Love everything about it except for getting the two seperate mattresses. Thought it would be a good idea to be able to adjust the head and foot seperate from my wife if need be. Issue is they push apart in the middle.

While I don't have a split mattress, my parents had a split adjustable bed. Solved the problem with a King size heavy mattress cover and used aa fitted King sheet. That kep't the matress from seperating and didn't intefere with the adjustability, at least to the amount they moved the head or foot.

I wish we had a split king mattress because we later ordered a motion base.
 
We have a p4,my wife loves it,Im not too impressed,to me it's still a air mattress.maybe the thicker topper would be better.if I had to buy again I would get the best one that they make
 
Thanks to all for the responses.
That I10 was very cool, temp wise, compared to the model that is 50% off right now that has the top that is more memory foam ish. It’s not really like a normal memory foam type top layer on the I10. I think I will skip the adjustable base as I don’t watch tv in bed. Don’t think the split will work as I think eventually you would get a valley going on there.
 
I went from a Sleep Number to a Tuft & Needle original mattress and have no regrets moving to a foam mattress. I wake up and my back no longer hurts and I get the best sleep I've ever had on it.

I have these in my guest bedrooms as well and everyone who sleeps on them end up buying some for their homes.
 
Game dog, what was the problem with the SN to make the switch?
 
Had the same king size sleep # for over twenty years and moved it six times. Noticed in one of the moves that there was some mildew on the bladders and SN replaced them and the mattress top for free. It has been an excellent bed for my wife and myself. We often talk about upgrading to one of the "smart" SN beds since she thinks I snore. LOL
 
Ahh yes, snoring.......
20 years is pretty solid as far as longevity.
 
Wait until you are old like me with Psoriatic Arthritis. There 's not a mattress made that is comfortable. I've spent thousands and thousand's of Dollars with no relief.

That is a serious thought with me. Back is getting worse. Therapy is no help. Steroid shots did nothing......

To be honest, the wife and I found ourselves constantly searching for the right "number" for ourselves but just could not for some reason. To the point where it was affecting our sleep due to waking up and messing with it in the middle of the night. For me, once I wake up, my brain won't let me go back to sleep unfortunately. That was a big battle.

The other was because I couldn't find the right number, I'd wake up with constant back pain. So we eliminated both those factors by giving the bed to my brother and bought the Tuft and Needle foam mattress and have no regrets. Most comfortable bed I've ever owned and it's a lot cheaper than a Sleep Number.

Didnt read all these posts , not interested , gotta say I hate the one my wife bought , hurts my back in about 20 minutes and have to get up.
Went back to a soft side water bed -----just me !
 
The wife and I have tried all sorts of different mattresses to try to find something that works. The Tempurpedic was the most comfortable but they only last a few years before collapsing in the hip area. We are now using a mattress from a company called Reverie. It was kind of pricey, but we are now on 7 years of comfort. They use a unique approach as they are using individual latex "coils". You can change the layout to suit your need. If you find a section of the bed starts getting a little softer in a spot that you sleep in you just move the coils around and no more soft spot. If you want to switch from soft to firm, you just rearrange the coils. It works pretty well. It was definitely worth the price.
