This bed having the ability to adjust comfort level is wonderful. However, the bed is liken to a Formula 500 race car and one needs an experienced bed pit crew standing by in your room with replacement parts just to get through the night. Within 6 years of owing this bed system I have replaced the pump three times, and each air mattress chamber twice for a queen size bed. The air chambers can fail due to O-Ring Failure, cracked plastic air-intake nipple, rubber mattress seam failure or air hose connector malfunction.One more thing, because the mattress is so light I could never stop the mattress from sliding and would have reposition it every morning. This movement can cause malfunction to the air intake nipple and air hoses.

When you call customer service with warranty issues they make you jump through a lot of hoops before they admit to their faulty workmanship problems. Furthermore, you have to be physically fit to perform all the test their service department demands you do....unzip your mattress cover, reconnect your air hoses, switch air hoses from left to right air chamber, disconnect the air hoses and use plug in air nipple then call customer service next morning.... Oh what a headache.

I have also had to sew my mattress seam back together by hand to keep the zipper from becoming unattached. Furthermore, when the mattress cover fell apart because of a poor sewing job I gave up on the Sleep Comfort Bed system. There warranty is prorated and after about 5 years a pump will cost you about $500 bucks and a replacement mattress cover about $300 for mattress & box spring cover.

Depending on where you live when using this component bed, the barometric pressure changes for your area may cause you to have to pump up your bed every evening prior to sleep. Changing hot or cold temperature will affect your sleep number and air pressure. Thank the Gods that I never had the problem of mold growing on inside of the air chambers as many others have complained about.

The bed sleeps well except for the dreaded trenching effect. That's where one person slides into the other sleeper because one person chose a lower sleep number than their partner.

I no longer own this mattress. After about six years of constant nursing this money pit thing I set it out on the curb for garbage collection.

My Select Comfort experience has been poor. Can't recommend this bed system.

I have back problems especially with numbing while I sleep,So I bought my select comfort bed back in 2001.After time the foam in the middle and around the edges started to go flat.So I got replacements after a couple of years.Now I am having problems with the chambers staying inflated after the bed was only being 5 years old. Select Comfort stated I would have to ship them the bed, and they would troubleshoot the problem to determine if it was the chambers that were the problem.Or if the pump was the problem.Whether it was the chambers or the pump I would be without a bed till the problem was narrowed down.And the replacement parts would be prorated based on the age of the bed.So between shipping cost and the prorated parts cost it would cost just as much as a brand new Select Comfort.
