Sleep Number Beds

I was wondering if anyone bought a sleep number bed and if so did it help any with your sleep apnea or sleepiness.

I went with Tempurpedic. I love it!!!!!! I have heard good things about the Sleep Number beds but have no personal experience.

The lab where I had my two sleep studies used sleep number beds and I thought they were noisy (when you adjust the firmness) and very uncomfortable. I personally would not buy one.

The sleep apnea was the problem for me, not the bed. I have slept on a sleep number bed for several years and they are terrific. I bought the bed before I was diagnosed with moderate to severe sleep apnea (untreated AHI of 56). I was sleeping terribly at the time but didn't know why and thought the bed would help with that, as well as the backaches I was having. It didn't make any difference at the time, though, because the problem was my undiagnosed sleep apnea and and the related tossing and turning that was hurting my back. Everything changed, however, once I was diagnosed and started xPAP. Not only was I sleeping much better and the back pains disappeared, I started to being able to enjoy the sleep number bed. Treating the apnea is the thing.

Adding my vote to Jeb's for the Tempur-Pedic bed. Got an adjustable one. Absolutely fabulous.

Completely separate issue from the apnea. After getting a sleep number bed, I discovered that I actually did not have back problems! I definitely recommend them. I do believe that the more comfortable that you are, the better you will sleep.

We love our Tempurpedic bed! Have had it about three years (long before we knew we had OSA). No experience with a sleep number bed...

I sell both of these types of beds wholesale. They are both great systems but so different from one another. Both have fans. Personally I like the visco memory foam type mattresses like the temperpedic and would never own another innnerspring mattress. Go to both types of stores and spend a long time trying them. They are a large investment and you owe it to your self to be sure.

I have a Select Comfort Sleep Number bed. It is amazing for sleeping comfort but as the apnea was diagnosed after I got the bed, it obviously has no helpful effects for that problem.

I have a clone marketed by Boyd that I absolutely love. I did replace the regular foam topper with a 2" memory foam.

I too own a sleep number bed that I purchased before I was diagnosed with OSA. I would highly recommend it as a good comfortable bed but don't look to it to resolve any sleep apnea issues.
