Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / July 2005comfortaire vs sleep number?
i know i've asked questions about this ad nauseum, but we're finally ready to make a decision. which do you guys recommend? so we need a box spring with the comfortaire? i know you need the special foundation for the sleep number. i have the sleep number in queen, but we want a king. diane I was thinking about you and this the other day. Do you have the special foundation on your queen now? If not was thinking that might be the cause of your roll to the middle. Did you ask the company about the roll issue?

(_<_) hi duckie, yes, i have the foundation. i've taken everything apart and put it back together. we roll. that's all there is to it. and i'm sick of trying to squish myself onto my little mattress between the foam so i don't spill onto john's side. thus the move up to a king. the online reviews of the S.C. and the comfortaire are all over the place. love it/hate it. that sort of thing. diane I still think you need to call the company. I would be interested to hear if they know what the problem is as it has never been an issue with ours. Something sounds like it is definitely wrong. What is the comfortaire made of - foam? If so, it will smell. The pillow I use is that temperpedic and the first month is smells terribly. I cover it with three pillow cases in the beginning and tuck a wash cloth with my perfume inside one of the cases. Not sure how you would handle a whole mattress giving off that smell. Doubt I could sleep on it for several months... Good luck with your decision.

And love it. It has to be on a firm flat surface that brings it up to the height you wish. Ours is in a "box" similar to what they used to use for waterbeds on top of a set of drawers on each side. Then we each have a drawer cabinet set on our sides of the bed, connected by a pier light and mirror. I'd guess you could use any box spring. I seem to recall that they sell box spring type platforms for the air beds and I think covers you can put over a regular box spring so they would match. Jo thanks jo. a lot of people online complain about the smell of the beds at first. do you remember that being a problem? > thanks jo. a lot of people online complain about the smell of the beds > at first. do you remember that being a problem? Not really, but then we always had water beds in the past so maybe that was just something I expected and didn't notice. Jo diane-- why don't you ask if they have a money-back trial period? then, if you don't like it, you can send the one that displeases you back and try the other brand. i wouldn't buy any bed and/or mattress unless i get to try it for 30 days or more without having to committ to it. kate >i know i've asked questions about this ad nauseum, but we're finally > ready to make a decision. which do you guys recommend? so we need a box > spring with the comfortaire? i know you need the special foundation for > the sleep number. i have the sleep number in queen, but we want a king. > > diane I don't know anything about the comfortaire, but I can't say enough great things about the select comfort. We have a king 5000 and love it. I set mine at 30 and sink in at night. Most people can't believe someone with arthritis would like something so soft and hammocky but I love it. Really helps my joints. Of course, if you already have one, you know whether or not you like it...just thought I'd give my two cents... maybe the king S.C. would be best. duckie, is yours a king? i know i have to have an air mattress. even with the problems i've had with the select comfort, i 've loved that cushy sinky softness. diane Diane, I have a Select Comfort King.

Cause I have to fully inflate both sides of the bed before an open house so the foam sticking up in the middle doesn't show. I would still call the company. They can't fix it for the next guy if they don't know you have a problem.

(_<_) I have a select comfort (sleep number) bed and recently my husband (who sleeps in a separate room) bought a latex foam mattress by Restonex. Not sure if the spelling is right. I'm replacing my bed as soon as we can afford it! It's the only bed I've been able to sleep in since I fractured my spine. I still sleep in a recliner otherwise! It's supposed to resist dust mites etc and never needs to be flipped. I love it as does he. Diane W Ok - forget that name. It's called naturalsleeper. The Model name is "Allure" and it's 100% latex foam. Doesn't smell. Comes with it's own foundation. Actually he got the adjustable version. It may be distributed by Restonwhatever. DianeW restonic is the brand name it is made under. I think it might go by many different brand names. Di diane w., thanks for this info on restonic. the price is certainly better than the air beds. i might take a look at them, but the only time i slept on a foam bed, i nearly died of heatstroke. do you not get hot on it? (sounds funny . . .) also, aren't they really heavy? one thing i love about the select comfort is the ease with which i can make the bed. duckie, you are right that i should call S.C. and tell them my problem. ps sorry i am so grouchy lately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this house selling $%*^ is getting to me. diane whine whine rofl Did I tell you cut down the 50 year old tree in front of the house yesterday. For all those that said it was dark and we can't see the house. Well, you can now!!
