Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / June 2005select comfort vs comfortaire
john and i want to get a king sized bed. although i love the ability to make my select comfort mattress as soft as i need it, i have never been happy with the way it makes me/us roll toward the middle of the bed. we're trying to figure out if the comfortaire would be any better. does anyone here use it? diane > john and i want to get a king sized bed. although i love the ability to > make my select comfort mattress as soft as i need it, i have never been [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > diane We got the comfortaire top of the line, it cost less than the cheapest Select comfort. http://tinyurl.com/6c6b7 No one around here rolls to the center. (It would really annoy the cats anyway) But then both of us set it fairly firm. And we're both pretty much too big to roll easily. So your mileage may vary. We have had it for a year and a half and love it.. Jo Diane, did you remove the support/divider from the middle of the bed? If so, that could cause it.

That call would be cheaper than the new bed. And I am guessing your bed is still so new that it might be under some sort of warranty that would cover a fix. BTW, when we are ummmm friendly, we always go to one side or the other so we never laid on that middle foam section. And the foam section is at least an inch above the bladder. During the open houses, I blow up both sides as high as possible and then pat on the foam so the bed top levels out better and doesn't look like a worn out mattress which it isn't. Without blowing it up, it looks like an 8 cut in half length wise and laid on it's side. So see, our foam is still working. Does yours look like that when the bed is made?

(_<_) duckie, i am having a terrible time picturing this: "Without blowing it up, it looks like an 8 cut in half length wise and laid on it's side." anyhow, i know the foam is there. if i take the bed apart, it looks perfectly normal: bladder, foam, bladder. but when we lie down, we roll to the middle. even if i'm on the bed alone it happens, and it's happened for years. i've just ignored it while i was sleeping alone. now it's kind of hard to ignore. diane Well how about a 3 turned on it's side. Makes our bed look like it is sagging on both sides. I really think something is wrong. Have you called the company? It sounds as if the foam was installed incorrectly.

(_<_) Diane -- we are in an older SC and never roll to the middle. The middle is actually higher. I am guessing you never had the middle foam installed or it had broken down too much. Can you unzip the cover and see what is there? I have a wide bit of foam separating the two bladders.

(_<_) Diane - I have a select comfort and Wayne just bought a latex foam mattress that we love even better. I believe the brand is called Restonex. If you can find a store that carries it in your area to try it out, I think you will love it. I cannot lay in my select comfort still since I had my spine fractures but I can sleep in the new mattress. If I can give you any more info on it just email me.
