r/Mattress on Reddit: Sleep Number i10 vs Tempur-Pedic LuxeBreeze
July 4, 2023 -

We currently have a 2019 model Tempur-Pedic LuxeBreeze Soft Queen. My wife and I both love this bed, however we are ready to move to a King and evaluating two options we have narrowed down to:

New mid-2023 model Tempur-Pedic LuxeBreeze Soft King w/TEMPUR-Ergo Smart Base

- Now has Sleep Tracking technology in the Smart Base that seems similar to Sleep Number
- We know we both like the feel of the mattress. We laid on one in the showroom to make sure the latest model feels like our older model.
- Lumbar support seems interesting, but my wife doesn't seem convinced
- Cooling with our current mattress for memory foam seems good, and it seems they have made further improvements

Sleep Number i10 FlexTop King w/FlexFit 1 Smart Base

- Adjustable head positions is the main selling feature here - I like to be flat while my wife prefers to be slightly elevated to help with reflux (we are also expecting a baby and she will fully be upright throughout the night many times)
- Doesn't have foot raising, but we don't ever use this with our current bed
- Sleep Tracking seems similar to what Tempur-Pedic has
- Ability to adjust firmness over time based on how we are feeling seems helpful
- I tend to change positions many times during the night, and in trying out the bed in store, my wife felt these movements much more
- Didn't feel as comfortable in store, but this may just due to us getting use to it.

The fact that the adjustable bases are final sale seems to be the way they get you to lose money if you end up doing a return - if it weren't for this, we'd probably just go for the Sleep Number to try it out for a couple months. We may also look at the Sleep Number m7 - though they didn't have this on the floor at our local store.

If the Tempur-Pedic had a flex top (and not full split), we'd definitely go in that direction. But, given that isn't an option, it feels like a toss up.

I'd appreciate any thoughts folks here have. Thanks!

You already know you love your current luxebreeze and the current model is even better. Stick with it. Tempurpedic has a better warranty is a better mattress and you already know you like it But touch more specifically Lumbar is actually amazing and will help with support way more then making a sleep number firm for the days you feel you need more with out taking away the pressure relief. Keep in mind a firm sleep number is adding pressure points and a softer one is reducing support due to the air technology and the way it works Cooling is improved 10 vs 8 degrees Their are a lot of benefits to raising your feet I suggest trying it and doing more research most sales people should be able to demo but there is a lot of info out there. Even if you don’t like them high just raising them a little will take pressure off when sitting up and stop you from sliding . Raising your feet is one of the biggest game changers in sleep Tempurpedic’s reduce motion better then anything in the industry so you will feel it more on sleep number but if you are moving that much I would refer you back to finding a better sleeping position using the adjustable with both head and feet and the lumbar to take it a step further. Sleep number didn’t feel as comfortable so that alone should tell you to get the tenpur you know you like but it’s not because your not used to it but because you are used to something better. Tempurpedic is more pressure relieving and and more supportive at the same time sleep number you have to choose and can’t reach the same levels The bases will work on any mattress so then not being returnable isn’t much of a issue however the Tempurpedic’s have more features Why would you go with the sleep number it seems like your falling for marketing when you already know the tempurpedic works As for your warranty question sleep numbers warranty is prorated after a year on most models take a closer look (think you already did)it’s actually one of the worst in the industry where Tempurpedic’s is non prorated for 10 years which is the industry standard Why not go full split? Their is a reason most companies don’t offer butterfly split anymore. The top is where most couples would feel the gap anyway and the feet being adjustable is again one of the most beneficial features of a adjustable. You can always put your feet at the same position if you want but with the split head only you don’t have the option if you wanted to adjust feet. Not to mention finding sheets is a nightmare in comparison to split king or standard king If your not sure if you want full split you could always get the solit bases but a regular king mattress and if you decided you need the split just exchange the mattress since the bases can’t be returned this helps future/safe proof your decision

Temperpedic is a much better mattress. I sell both. We get far less returns exchanges warranty issues with temperpedic. When the air chambers go out the bed has huge divits and it’s useless.

Hi! Looking between these two and wanted to get the ~updated~ knowledge on this. In between the sleep number i8 and temperpedic luxeadapt.

Also wondering your thoughts on the split bed vs just one king size bed

I was in your shoes 1yr ago deciding between these. We ended up choosing a sleep number and upgraded to the i10 split shoulder king with adjustable head&feet. It was spendy, but really happy with the decision and no more spring sag. My wife and I both really like having; independently adjustable head&shoulder zone (but not the entire mattress length), customizable firmness allowing for fine-tuning (this has come in really handy over the first year for me who needs a firmer but plush feel), a COOL mattress feel (I sleep hot and can’t sleep in a heat absorbing mattress), and adjustable head & foot (which is great for reading, watching tv, or sleeping on an incline). She had bad shoulder pain from sleeping years on our Beautyrest black mattress with saggy springs, and I had hip pain. Both problems are either gone. Cons: my wife would like sleep with both her feet and head elevated, but i like to sleep flat. So we sleep with the foot zone flat, and she slightly raises her head and shoulders. This works and is a much better option than having an entirely split king mattress (two twins that drift apart). This mattress sleeps both cool and comfortable. We really love it, but it can be cool getting into if you keep your house is on the cooler side. The foot warming zone for my wife would have been a good option to have. And even though the mattress is 10”, it didn’t feel that plush when we first got it. We kind missed the feeling of sinking down into a pillow top. When new, it felt more like I was sleeping on it rather than sinking down into it. We found that adding a 1-1/2” thick cooling foam mattress topper to our new sleep number i10 bed was the perfect complement. I cut the head & shoulder area of the gel topper to match so split sheets go right over it. Now we have the best of both world; perfect adjustable firmness with plush sink down feel! Best sleeping ever, once we added this cooling foam topper. It’s worth noting: I have a Tempur-pedic pillow that I love, but I would not want a mattress that was made from this material and that my body has to turn and roll over into. I’ve noticed tempurpedic foam to behave slow when adjustment pressure, and I turn from side to side throughout the night and didn’t want to fight firmer cool foam that takes some time to adjust down or raise back up, even though the mattress felt comfortable. Hope this info is helpful to someone else deciding as mattresses are an expensive investment that need to last longer than we found spring mattresses are capable of doing.

If you and your partner need to focus on individual sleep needs, a split is fantastic. What are your interests in these brands?

r/Mattress on Reddit: Are Tempur-Pedic & Sleep Number Overpriced? Do Budget Adjustable Beds Work Just as Well?
January 12, 2025 -

I’m looking for an adjustable bed mainly to help with sleep apnea, and I’ve been comparing high-end brands like Tempur-Pedic and Sleep Number to more affordable options like Nectar and Sven & Son.

Honestly, the price difference seems huge, and I’m wondering if the premium brands are actually worth it or just overpriced.

For those who have tried both:

Is there a real difference in quality, durability, or functionality?

Do Tempur-Pedic and Sleep Number actually justify the premium price, or are you mostly paying for the brand name?

If you went with a more affordable option, how has it held up?

I’m leaning toward not overpaying, but I’d love to hear from anyone who has compared these firsthand—especially if you’re using an adjustable bed for sleep apnea relief

I also have severe sleep apnea. When my wife and I were shopping for beds, we decided to buy our adjustable bed frames off Amazon as we managed to get a split king, which is just 2 twin xl bed frames, and it cost us just under $400. Comparable frames from other places were well over a grand. We went this route because we wanted 2 different comfort levels for our mattress. She got a soft plush, and I got firm, both of which are hybrid mattresses latex mattresses from Lucid bedding. Were now 5 years in and still going strong, so for us it was well worth it to go this route.

Like it is with mattresses, price has little to do with anything. From reading here, there are 3-4 major manufacturers of adjustable bases: Reverie, Ergomotion, Leggett & Platt, and Malouf. Ergomotion produces the Sealy and Tempurpedics, Leggett & Platt makes Mattress Firm's. I had a Sleep Number made by Leggett & Platt [They didn't try to hide it. It included a Leggett & Platt manual and their installation info]. The Sam's Club/Costco models are (they make the same base) by Southbay International, which is a subsidiary of Ergomotion. How can you tell which bases are the same? Check two things. First, on the website for each model, look at the photo of the remote. If the shape of the remote and the button placement are the same, it's likely that they're the same base. The other place to check is the tag. Like pillows and mattresses, all bases have a tag. It's the one that threatens endless torture for your entire life if you remove it. It should say who actually manufactured the base. So, how do you choose? Make a list of the features you like/want/need. Besides things like massage, wall hugging, lumbar adjustment, presets, and how high the head or foot raises; think about how often you change addresses. Why? Some of them, even in queen size, fold in half like a book. That makes putting them in a U-Haul or getting them through doorways easier. Some are two pieces that get put together. They're also easy to move. Others can't be disassembled or aren't stable on their sides. Lastly, check the actual weight of the base (that's different than the capacity). They can weigh anywhere from about 100 to almost 300 pounds. I ended up getting an Ergomotion. It's sold as a Blissful Nights e5, or Southbay International SBKDT2, or ZZZen e5.

r/Mattress on Reddit: Tempurpedic or Sleep Number?
February 17, 2024 -

I have a Tempurpedic adjustable base bed that is at least 15 years old and past time to retire. In my defense, I live alone and swap the split sides every once in awhile so the whole bed has basically had half the wear. My favorite part of my bed is that puddinging feeling of being one with your mattress. I guess that’s the thick latex memory foam feel where it completely conforms to you. While I’m leaning toward getting another newer one, my folks have a top of the line Sleep Number and rave about it and say I’d be crazy to get anything else. But if I like the feel of laying on the Tempurpedic, would I hate the Sleep Number Climate360 Smart Bed?

What I’m intrigued by is the ability to adjust the firmness (sometimes I wish my bed was firmer, sometimes not), the heated foot area, and the ability to heat or cool the mattress. What can I say, I’m perimenopausal and sometimes I’m freezing and other times on fire.

Thank you for any advice or expertise.

Hello - looking for feedback from people that looked at or own the Tempur-pedic Tempur-ActiveBreeze or Sleep Number Climate360 mattresses. Interested on how you like them and if you compared both and why you chose one over the other.

My wife sleeps hot and cold, so we went to look at both today. Seems like either of them would help her with that or at least make it a little better.

I also like tech and wonder what people thought about both of their apps? The Tempur-pedic app may be slightly advanced, but can’t really tell without using both of them.

Thank you!

Me and my husband got the tempur pro breeze and it sleeps so warm. We are trying to sleep number i8 currently. We can’t afford the climate 360. It look very nice though! So far we like the i8, but we are both waking up sweating still.

My wife and I are going through this right now. At the King size, T-P Active Breeze is almost $13K. But the split king is an eye watering $17,600! The SN C360 is $13,600 for the split king or the flex top king, which is a partial split only at the top of the bed. Very innovatie IMO. My Climate 360 pro's/con's (so far) So far, I like the multi zone heating / cooling of the Climate 360 options over the T-P. When you want to cool something, you remove the heat, not push cold air at it...although that can work too it's less efficient. The Climate 360 pushes hot air up in heat mode but pulls air down into the mattress in cool mode. If you're hot under the covers, pulling the heat from your body down and out of the mattress just seems to make more sense to me. When I'm cold, I want hot air blowing on me. I also like that you can have multiple zones. Warm feet in bed seems really nice. My preference is to get into a warm cozy bed, and then have the bed keep a good cool sleep temperature throughout the night, so I don't wake up sweating. Adjustability is important but when my wife and I layed on the bed in the store, it didn't totally WOW us. It was nice, but so far, not $13K nice. But we have to give it another go to be sure. It was comfortable but my wife said that when she turned on her side, it definitely felt more like an air mattress than a standard luxury mattress like we're used to. We currently own a really nice, but 13 year old Airloom. But adjusting the sleep number and having AI adjust the bed pressures for me as I turn over at night is a plus. I just don't know how well it works. T-P Active Breeze Pro's/Con's (so far) The T-P mattresses are much more luxurious to us. We have not yet tried the actual T-P Active Breeze, but we layed on a similar T-P mattress in one of the stores. The rep said that the one we tried would be the same as the Active Breeze, just w/o the active cooling/heating and other features. We are middle-aged and feeling our joints in the morning so that firm but sinking in, yet supported feeling, felt really nice on this mattress. It would take some getting used to for sure, but I felt that the T-P mattress on first impression just felt more luxurious and supportive. But you get what you get and no adjustments, unlike the Sleep Number bed. I was also taken back at how cool the mattress felt w/o active cooling. I thought all that "mattress cooling gel, NASA developed foam, etc.", was just marketing BS. Turns out, the mattress alone is very cool to lay on. Sleep on? Who knows but it was very noticeable on first impression. In fact, it was so noticeable that I thought to myself 'I don't know that I'd want this if I can't turn this passive cooling off'. Meaning, on cold nights, do you stay cold? With Active Breeze, you can turn on the heater. Without it, will more blankets help? T-P Active Breeze at $17,600 very hard to swallow for the split king. Standard king is on par with Climate 360 but the Sleep Number has an advantage here. While the feet are fixed to one position, the top is not. That's cool. I'm definitely interested in investing in sleep, but to what end? In the end, it's the mattress that matters most right? If the mattress can't deliver, what good is all the rest. That's where we're at Internet ... good luck.

r/Mattress on Reddit: Need advise - considering Tempur-Pedic to replace current sleep number
June 7, 2021 -

Hullo. Looking for ALL the advice. Middle aged couple.

A while ago, I had an accident and hurt my back. Sleeping on our cheap Serta spring mattress was no longer viable, as the coils would find a spot in my back, no matter what I did. It was bad. So...

More than a dozen years ago, we bought an entry level Sleep Number. And have been using it ever since.

Over the last year or so, we have started to realize that matress was about done, and it might be time to do something different. And as we began to read and research, we became aware of the idea that Sleep Number may not be the end all be all that we thought it was.

Today we went and looked at SlumberLand and saw the Tempur-Pedic memory foam mattresses. We liked what we saw, and felt an immediate (positive) difference. SO a new mattress is now likely. We looked at the Luxe Breeze Medium and Pro Adapt Med Hybrid. So we are considering sizes and pros/cons for each of these models. However, I have a couple of questions...

  • Is their a best place/chain to make this kind of purchase? A better price or experience?

  • What alternative brands should we be looking at?

  • Any other suggestions?

It's time to get rid of my poor, 12y/o worn-out mattress and box-spring. I'm going to get rid of my bed frame and build a sturdy platform to support the next mattress. I have been having some severe morning back pain which precipitates this decision. I hear really good things about both Tempurpedic-type memory foam mattresses and the Sleep Number products.

I'm a big, fat dude in need of some relief. I'll be adding physical therapy, strength training, and weight-loss to the regimen. In the meantime, I'm prepared to make the right mattress investment. And that leads me to ask for your opinions.

I've met people who love their Tempurpedic mattresses. I've heard other back-pain sufferers swear by their sleep number mattresses. I will soon try to go "test drive" both, but am wondering on your initial thoughts regarding the comparison between the two.

I'm not a big fan of Sleep Number for the reason that if you get the correct firmness to begin with, the whole "use an air pump to change the firmness of your mattress" aspect is completely wasted, and just adds a point of failure to the mattress.

Tempurpedic is great, and there are other great options out there as well. But my opinion (and the general opinion from a lot of people in the industry) is that Sleep Number is overpriced and gimmicky.

I recommend zoned pocket coils and/or memory/latex(Tempurpedic) foam over air mattresses(Sleep Number).

Since you're a heavy guy, you're more likely to feel the "valley" of the air mattress when laying down. It will also wear out differently if you move a lot.

Memory foams can get hot/warm, but that all depends on how it's laid out and if it has holes for heat dissipation and breathability.

Latex foam is expensive, and has a jumpiness that some people dislike.

Ideally, you'd need something that has a medium firm support base layer, then 2-3 additional layers of comfort foam like memory/latex/regular foam with increased softness the closer they get to the top. So you have the back support and comfort. Example: http://i.imgur.com/28Q2YAv.png

Personally, I have something a bit more modular that I made at a friends mattress factory. Specs:

  • Medium firmness foam encased zoned pocket coil base (Substrate, Zoned Pocket Coils, 1" 1.8lb High Density Foam)

  • 1" Memory Foam &1" Latex Foam with velcro

All wrapped in a waterproof mattress protector and a 1" cotton topper
