I have really considered a sleep number a few times partly because they are adjustable and my back seems to change its mind on what it likes. The biggest thing I have herd is they are cold from the air in them and its hard to keep warm in them. I have also herd they leak down. I have a foldover type saddle blanket that I sleep on about 1/2 the time that had helped more then anything else I have found.

I've never had any of those issues. Mine is about 6 years old and it's never leaked.

Ironic as it may seem we dropped over 1K on a new mattress about 3 months before I got hurt. I would have really been looking at the sleep number had I known.

does yours have alot of memory foam on it? seems like that would help it being cold but my back dont like memory foam. I was looking at the cheapest one and getting the mattress only and making a frame since its much cheaper. Seems like every time I have got the money together and am about ready to get 1 someone comes along and says they are not very good and I wont be happy with it.

For me the memory foam killed my back! Ours is a Eastern King with pillow top. Was $3k with sheets and set up. Soooo worth every cent!

Memory foam kills my back too. Isnt a pillow top basically memory foam made onto the mattress? Pillow tops kill my back too. I was looking 3 or 4 years ago and could get the cheapest queen (mattress only) for $700 at that time. I almost bought it atleast twice.

Alright this Cleveland weather is killing me. About 2 weeks ago below zero for highs. Last Tuesday 12 fresh inches of snow with about 20 inches on the ground. Last Thursday 51 and 3 inches of rain and now no snow, but mud......lots of mud and Wednesday should be below zero again. I can't seem to get the hang of this lake effect weather or whatever Cleveland has.....

Winters aren't kind on them. Oddly one place that's overlooked for big antelope is the Oklahoma panhandle.

I just watched antelope safari 3 and was surprised to see so many hunts in southern CO. I always thought antelope were hard to draw in CO.

I always think of mountains when I think of CO but the southern part is alot different I just havent been in that part very much. NM is known for big antelope and Co borders it so makes sense CO would have some too.
