Sleep Number Bed problems...anyone Hate Theirs?

We bought a Sleep Number bed last January. We absolutely hate it! They do have a 30 day gaurantee, But the first two weeks my husband had been in India on business. The next two weeks we were trying to both get used to sleeping in it. Every morning, I wake up with a aching back ache and wake up 8-10x a night. Does anyone else have this problem if they have one of these beds? I know my number is right, we had the test done at the Rosedale store, where they do the thing that looks like a colored map on their computer.

What can I do next?

I don't have one, but my in-laws HATE theirs. They bought it last year and kept it in hopes that it was just them having issues adjusting to it. It's not. They rarely sleep in their bed now- one on the couch, one in the guest bed.
I believe they are going to sell it on craigslist.org- that's a thought if it's in good condition!

We had the same problem with ours. This was a couple ofyears ago, and we never had the test done, but I tried virtually every number on the thing. I woke up stiff and cranky every morning. We sold it on Craigslist and bought a "regular" bed and are now sleeping much more soundly.

Hi C.,

I don't hate my Sleep Number- in fact I love it, but I might have some useful advice. I did the whole in-store let us find your number for you too, but I have changed that number several times since- especially being pregnant a couple times. So, maybe (if you already have not) try switching the number around and see if softer or more firm is better for you. Hopefully you will find a perfect setting and finally get a great nights sleep!

C.:
You may have had the test done, but if you have a back ache, your number is off! Try a higher number. I was told (at rosedale) that if you have backache, it's too soft and if you have hip/shoulder pain, it's too hard.
They said to try new numbers for 2 weeks before trying a new one.
Fool around with the numbers, you might get lucky cuz I don't think they'll take it back after all this time.
Good Luck.

I have never had one but was gonna get one. I told my dad and he said not to. He did his trial on them and he said it hurt his back so much. So I had bought a fiber bed matress pad and put it on my bed and it helped with the back problems I had with out it. I love it. Too soft for my husband tho so I just got a twin and put it on my side of the bed.
