I had the chance to sleep on this for 2 days last week while on a business trip in MN, at a Radisson. I had tried one in the store a few months ago and was not impressed. However, I do have to say it was one of the more comfortable hotel beds I have slept in (but keep in mind I don't usually stay in very high end hotels), which was helped by the down comforter and feather pillows. Actually, the latter may have been more helpful than the mattress. The mattress did inflate and deflate, but the numbers seemed fairly persnickety and arbitrary. I couldn't feel a difference between 35 and 45, or 35 and 55. Could only feel a difference when there was a huge gap between the numbers. Overall, I think the product is quite a gimmick, it feels cheaply constructed, and is terribly expensive.

This was the worst purchase I ever made. With back problems I feel I was misinformed and flat out lied to about the expectations of this bed. The control never gives an accurate reading twice, and I am in even more pain now than I ever was in previous beds, no matter what number it is on. I think the dogs bed would be more comfortable than this one!

HATE - HATE - HATE this bed. Do NOT waste your money on this - DH and I have hated this bed since Day 1. I agree with the PP - can't find the right comfort - either too hard or too soft. Also, the mattress cover that goes over the foam is now sinking right at my lower back. Have been waking up with the most intense pain there for months. And, Select Comfort reps will not replace it, and it's only two years old!
