[Spridgets] Sleep number bed

[Larry Macy]

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’s 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. ;-)

> The only thing we have found that works is with both people laying on their side of the bed, to adjust to the same “sleep number” (pressure)  Then the bed halves are at the same height, the downhill rolling issue is tolerable at this point.  But that kinda defeats the independent sleep number item.

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.
