Sleep Number Bed?
We are planning to replace the OEM (nine years old) queen mattress in our Diplomat. We think that a Sleep Number is the best choice, and appreciate any comments about the mattress.
This is the info on Sleep Number. Which is best for a motorhome?
Prices Thickness firmness* Surface Comfort / Foam Layer(s)**
C2 $700 queen 8" firm polyprop- ylene / rayon blend 1" regular foam
COMMENT: 1) Differences in firmness setting clearly noticeable due to thin comfort layer. 2) Bottoming out is possible especially on low setting. 3) Comes with less advanced remote than other models. 4) Not well suited for side sleep due to high firmness. 5) Some consumers buy this model and then add their own comfort layer / topper. This often saves money because a main difference between this model and more expensive ones is comfort layer thickness.
C3 $1200 queen 9" mostly firm polyprop- ylene / rayon blend 1.5" regular foam
COMMENT: 1) The c3 (like c4) has a newer design than that of other Sleep Number models as no foam borders are used and the air chamber(s) extends to bed's edges. This design likely reduces or eliminates the middle problem as well as any need to rotate foam borders to maintain support. 2) Bottoming out is possible especially on low setting.
C4 $1600 queen medium- firm polyprop- ylene / rayon blend 2" regular foam
COMMENT: The c4 (like c3) has a newer design than that of other Sleep Number models as no foam borders are used and the air chamber(s) extends to bed's edges. This design likely reduces or eliminates the middle problem as well as any need to rotate foam borders to maintain support.
