it was ok but I don't use it anymore. I like my memory foam topper I have now much better.

I had a sleep number bed and I swear by them. However, I bought one when I was really young and I didn't have the income to keep it up. It has a lot of components and when they fall apart you need to buy replacements--probably about every 2-5 years. I would spend the extra money and get the one with the comfy pillow tops. Spring for the best sleep number model and it can last you 20 years if you replace the parts. The sooner you buy replacement parts the cheaper it will cost under your 20 year warranty. The customer service is excellent. I wish I had kept the bed. Now, I'm stuck with my husbands hard mattress which is AWFUL!!! I'm looking into replacing my bed quite soon. But Sleep Number DOES improve morning stiffness, and it is great because you can control just your side of the bed.

I also have a wii fit that I work out on. It is fun. But you have to keep up with it. I've lost about five lbs so far. I wrote an online article. Here is the link:

Hi Sweetie....

We have a sleep number bed. (got it on a payment plan which we could afford)....that still wasn't cutting it......so we purchased a separate 4" memory foam topper. This helped more....but I still wake up in pain. Shoulders, hips, back, legs, arms....you name it.

I will say this much.....I love my bed. I can fall asleep on it, I love cozying up on it. It is the most comfy bed ever.......especially with all of my pillows. But, it still doesn't take away all of the pain.

They have payment plans if you can handle that. Also, consider watching craigs list. They will have them occasionally. We picked up some spare parts for free from CL for our bed.

But if you wanna try it out....see if any local hotels have them. ( I believe Raddison hotels do). And spend a night there. I honestly don't think that the hour you'll spend at the store will tell you whether or not you'll like it. Oh, and there are some knock offs now too. Sleep Comfort? I think that's one of the knock off brands.

And prior to getting our bed.....I was using a double raised air mattress. To me, that is the best sleep! Absolutely zero resistance with those!

Thanks everyone - Wonder, I do have a knock of of the sleep number but it isn't helping, i wake up so sore

hi lovinsah. unfortunately, waking up sore is a part of fibro. what level of pain from 1-10 do you have when you wake up, and then at 15 mins later, then at 30 mins after you wake up.

i am usually about a 7, i take my pain pill straight away, and by 30 mins i'm about a 5, then an hour i'm usually a 2-3 until i get to 10 hours after my 12 hr dose, when i'm a 5-7 again. i find this is a good way of assessing the pain, otherwise its overwhelming and i think i'm in pain all the time. it helps me to work out what is worsening the pain or making it better.
