We bought one a few months ago, and like it well enough. We went full adjustable. My wife is also very sensitive when sleeping, so this money was all about her. I sleep flat, but I've used the adjustable capability a few times when watching TV. My wife always has some type of adjustment, and she seems to do well with it.

They are expensive, but my wife likes it so I guess it is worth it.

I am going to be uncomfortable sometimes.... sometimes too hot, sometimes too cold, sometimes tired, sonetimes anxious, sometimes I can't sleep, sometimes it's extremely hard to wake up.

Dissatisfaction is fundamental to life. It exist both inside and outside of me.

A trillion dollars, and a army of personal attendants won't make dissatisfication go away.

Yet nothing lasts, forever.

What ever is bothering me today will die of it's own account. And be replaced with the trouble of tomorrow.

I say f#ck the sleep number bed.
Sleep on the hardest, coldest floor in your house for the next six months.
Once you are done with that experience you will love your current bed....

If you both have the same sleep number, can’t you just convert that to whatever firmness of mattress you both like, and get a bed that adjusts position but not firmness? Might save a few bucks.

We have one, but didn't pay for the fancy adjustable version. Look for sales. They have them a lot and are often 50% off. Ours is an iLE from a few years back. After the sale, the price was comparable to other top line mattresses.

So far, so good with ours. Our sleep numbers are different, and I seem to be sleeping more soundly than I did on our old innerspring mattress. We tried a bunch of different styles with our last purchase and the Sleep Number won out for us.

My brother has a Casper in his guest room. For the few nights each year I spend there it works ok. I spend a lot of nights in hotels and definitely notice a difference after night three or four on the road. I do not sleep as soundly and wake up a bit stiffer (and crankier).

Don't have a sleep number, but we have a king size adjustable bed by Tempur Pedic. Ours is pretty firm. It has the cooling technology that allows it to "breath." Ridiculously expensive, but awesome. The nice thing about the king bed is it is split. So, wifie and I can each adjust our own side. Love putting up the top to watch tv or work in bed and love raising the legs if they are sore. We use the adjustment feature every single night. Again, ridiculous price (even more than you quoted), but at least we are getting our use out of it. We have had it for 3 years and I have never slept better. I hate traveling b/c our bed is so nice, all other beds kinda suck.

After posting this I started reading online and saw that that could be an option. We would need split mattresses since she might want to read when I want to sleep.

I have an awesome plush pillow top king size mattress and it cost like $1,500 if I remember right. I saw a study that said the keys to happiness are sleep and sex (not necessarily in that order), so make sure you get this bed thing right.

We don't have an adjustable bed but do have a split mattress (basically 2 mattresses zipped together) which has made a big difference. If she likes reading the other thing that's been great for us is both having a Kindle Paperwhite (back-lit version, think there's a new one out now) as it allows either of us to read as long as we want without having to keep the light on.
