Pretty happy with it

I bought this bed in roughly 2004 but I don't fully remember. The price I put is also off memory.
I have their fairly basic model. King size. The inside is: two twin (~35" wide) air chambers with 2" wide foam between the chambers and maybe 4-6" of hard foam going around all the edges. There is one sheet of roughly 2" thick convoluted poly foam over it. Then the quilted zip cover, which feels like it has 1" of foam or padding inside it. I put a 1" convoluted poly foam on top, then a thin cotton mattress pad. I'm pretty happy with it. It still has kept its shape, no mold problems (we've opened it up to look), no sagging. The dip between the chambers is annoying and I cannot sleep with any part of me over the middle so I really have the equivalent of a twin bed. Now that I have the bed to myself (well with my big dog) I called and got a replacement queen chamber from them for $300, no problems, and I will just put it in my current mattress in place of the two twin chambers so I have more room. The sleep number remote no longer shows the number but it does still pump/release air. I didn't want to pay to replace it. I keep the air chamber super firm (hardly gives when I unzip the mattress and feel it) but it's not their max. My bed still looks new. No appreciate wear on the edge foam, chambers, or cover. I have to repump air maybe once a week to maintain firmness. However, in one chamber I tried just plugging up the hole with a homemade silicone plug, and in the month I've slept on that side, it has not leaked at all.
Date Purchased: 2004
Price Paid: $3000 Recommend: Yes Pros:
Can unzip mattress to see what's inside
Can replace just parts of the mattress as needed- air chamber, foam, whatever. Can take out the air chamber for other temporary uses. I lent a guest one of my twin chambers for the night as an air bed, and put a twin-sized foam on top. I can keep re-pumping up the air chamber so sagging isn't an issue. Light and easy to move. Cons:
IMO a "soft" air chamber just means sagging. Hips go down, head and feet up. Works best with a firm chamber and foam on top for comfort.
The remote doesn't give my number anymore. The bed had a smell at first, and my new queen chamber is still downstairs offgassing (been a week now). Not a natural product. The company said antibacterial/antifungal agents (or something like that) are blended into the rubber, they use poly foam which offgasses, and they won't say the details of their flame retardant chemicals or fiber.
