So did you buy one of these beds ?
Tom Gerace Aug 27, 2007, 10:41pm EDT
Not yet, Wendy, but I plan to. I am in the process of moving and wanted to wait until I land before placing the order. I'll let you know what I think once I have more experience with them.

I could use one of them tonight! I have friends with one and they love it, hope you enjoy your!

A very interesting video.

baby got (lower) back, it seems ;)

Hmmm. I like that video thing to verify your selection.

This is interesting. Hubby has chronic back pain and I have been thinking about sending him to check these beds out. He wants one of the memory foam ones, but I feel really hot and almost smothered because of sinking into those.

The movie plays like an episode of the outer limits, but hosted by Franck Eggelhoffer (Martin Short as the wedding planner in 'Father of the Bride').

I like how you close your eyes when you start the demo, like you're getting a massage, and then concentrate intensely when he asks you to tell him when you are "perfectly comfortable." Could a bed produce such a state of bliss?

Do they have a number for bed-wetter?

PS. In spite of his comments, you do not have wide hips.

I have one of these beds and OMG! I love it! I hate to sleep anywhere else besides my bed now!

We have the same sleep # by the way!

Now this was interesting. I always look at these ads and wonder. I'll look forward to your opinion once you get one.

Luved this!

Ok, so I heard a noise when he tried to bring the bed up to a firmer texture, I take it that was a pump. So once you find your sleep 'number' you don't have to adjust it anymore? I wonder if that works for both sides of the bed, independently?

I fractured my back in '04 so beds and I do have problems. This sounds like it could be a solution. I guess I will have to find a Select Comfort dealer in my area.

Thanks for the entertainment and the info, Tom.
