Anybody tried it? Costs big bucks but is it really worth it? I have a nova form now (costco tempurpedic)
Sleep number bed?

I've wondered about these too. The commercials say the sales specialists have 200 hours of training. Makes me wonder what exactly is involved with the training.
I stayed in a hotel a few years that had them. I was there for 3 nights and could never find a comfortable setting.
I've had them for 15 years or so. I got my two kids queens Select Comforts (as they used to be called) when they outgrew their twin beds. You can get them for way less money by buying the basic mattress with no base and put it on a solid platform. I always bought the thickest foam topper I could at JCPenney to put on top. When the foam wears down with indentations, you can just buy a new one for way less than a new bed.
I currently sleep on a Tempur Pedic but I have a new queen Sleep number bed in my guest room, on a platform with a foam topper. I love my Tempur Pedic but it's gotten too soft over the 4 or 5 years I've had it. I still have my California King Select Comfort in a spare room and may bring it back out someday.

we've had a select comfort for six years. I hate it - could never find a comfortable setting; my wife thought it was great. two years ago we moved it to another room and put a more traditional mattress in our bedroom.
we've recently brought two kittens into our home and are starting them out in that suite so my wife and I alternate nights in that room / bed; I still hate the bed.

Great input everyone
i will over the next few days 
We bought one about 6 weeks ago as our old memory foam mattress wasn't supporting my back enough. I have my side set pretty stiff and it has helped my back pain a lot. One thing that is odd is it seems a couple inches shorter and narrower than our old mattress, which was also a queen. Other than that we are really happy with it.
I have to add... I had a select comfort mattress since 1998 and love it. Yes i have tried others but have the best sleep on it. I also moved houses and when taking the bed apart for the move noticed a few things that had some age to them and ordered replacement parts... like a new bed for a fraction.
My wife and I have had a Select Comfort Sleep Number bed for the past 3 years and we absolutely love it. We tried two of the leading memory foam brands and they were horrible after 6 months, the foam breaks down and the bed becomes too soft and lumpy.
After finding out about Termpurpedic's memory foam being used in the Space Shuttle I was one of the early adopters and still very happy.
ONLY complaint I have is that the Tempurpedic does such a good job of absorbing kinetic energy I have to burn more calories to romp in the sack..... No really.

I have the Sleep number and added a 3 inch thick memory foam mattress topper and I love it. It took about two weeks to get the setting that was most comfortable for me.
The Sleep number bed solved all my back problems; it is like having a new bed every night - It must be 12 years old now.
I thought I would require a high number for firmness - turns out my number is between 40 and 50.

i have two sleep # beds.
a queen for about 19 years, and a king for about 4 years.
never a single problem, cannot stand sleeping on anything else.
they are hypoallergenic, light , and even the dog loves to sleep on it.
wife loves it also.
