How to Compare Sleep Number Mattresses

A mattress is an important purchase, making shopping around and finding the price and style that suits your needs essential to your budget and quality of sleeping. Sleep Number beds allow you to customize the firmness of a mattress, which helps you sleep more comfortably and reduce joint pain caused by traditional spring mattresses. When shopping for a Sleep Number mattress, sleeping surface, price and firmness control are all important factors to compare.

Instructions

- 1
  Set a budget for what you're willing to pay for a mattress. Materials, size and firmness remote style all vary in price. Determine the highest price within your budget so you are prepared while comparing different styles or sizes.
- 2
  Compare base options when selecting a mattress. The Sleep Number Modular Base is level and does not adjust the mattress shape, while the FlexFit Adjustable Base allows you to move the head and foot of the mattress with a wireless remote. The FlexFitPLUS Adjustable Base allows you to adjust the head and foot of the mattress with the wireless remote, and it also features a massaging function and preset mattress positions.

  Look through each model to compare the different sleep surface options on the mattress. There are 8- through 12-inch plush pillow-top layers on various Sleep Number models that feature knit fabric, so select the model that offers you the most comfort.
- 4
  Determine if you want extra body support within the mattress. The Performance Series offers 1 to 3 inches of Intralux comfort layers that contour with the body for support, which helps relieve pressure on joints while sleeping.
- 5
  Consider additional features such as In Balance fabric, which wicks away body moisture for comfortable sleeping. Outlast technology in the Innovation Series line also regulates the mattress temperature, so you aren't woken up with a warm or cold mattress.
