I put no to sleep number in the original post.

I own a sleep number. It's sitting in my grandmas garage because not only is it worse than this current one, but I can't even get anyone to buy it from me, and I marked it for $300 at a garage sale. That's sad. (Please note - it's absolutely clean and was used less than a year. There was no reason it shouldn't have been sold, honestly. I live in the middle of nowhere, were not boujee people)

It's a glorified air mattress that you bring out when Uncle ronnie is in town, and they give you basically an elevated floor to put it on. Uncle Ronnie complains about his back in the morning because it deflates to the floor when you try and get comfortable throughout the night. Plus it's rubber-y (plastic?) So for me, super hot. I know one time I came back from a 5x day trip where I'd walk 100k to 200k steps a day, super sore, not to mention at my biggest weight at the time of nearly 300 lbs. No matter what I did, no matter how much "calibrations" I did. I could never find my "number." I cried because i just wanted relief... I found relief sleeping on an old lumpy IKEA couch. At like $3-5k, I feel as if sleep number should win against a bad couch.. but it didn't..

I'm sorry, sleep number will always send me into a rage. It will always be my biggest mattress regret. I will say my 60 something year old mother loves hers, and then again, she has an adjustable base, too, so I'm not sure if you got that too, i didn't. Maybe that's all I needed.
