Our sleep number bed is 93 in winter and 85 in the summer. It is nt =
adjustable side to side, but we feel as if we are floating on water. =
Which, of course, we are. I have been sleeping on a water bed for 40+ =
years. Tried a themarest, but that lasted less than a year and back to =
the waterbed. Only ever had one break open and the liner held 99% of the =
water. We prefer the 98% waveless, of course. Frames are easy, 4 =
2x112=E2=80=99s and maybe a pedestal. Total, with a digital heater, can =
be less than $500 or so, all the way up to a couple thousands if you go =
for a fancy from. Our top of the line mattress cost about $500. So if =
you ask me, save a few bucks on that airbed and get a water bed. ;-)

Especially if you and your SO have differing ideas of what is =
comfortable.  Yes, a King size is made up of two twin sizes with a =
"spacer" in the middle but neither of us sleeps on the spacer.  Only =
real problem is that it is slightly larger than the King size box =
springs that we have so it sticks out a little bit.
