I used to do product testing for a marketing company. I was offered a free pillow plus $10 to try out a new mattress topper at my local SleepNumber store, in exchange for an honest review (yes really, an honest review). I didn't like the topper and said so in the review. But I loved the mattress and wrote that as well. Got the free pillow, which was a pretty nice one (and expensive, retail was something stupid like $80) and my $10 check a month later.
But I really liked the mattress. And hubby and I were in the market for a new mattress, so I dragged him to the SleepNumber store and we ended up buying the lower-end model, the C4, plus a simple frame and a quilted mattress cover. They were having a special sale so we got a free set of sheets. Delivery guys came and set it up for us, showed us exactly how, showed us how to change our number settings, and took away our old mattress and box spring.
As a member of their loyalty club, I also got another set of sheets, another pillow, a travel pillow, and won another set of sheets in their membership sweepstakes, all over the year after we bought the bed.
This is our tenth year owning this bed, and it's just as sturdy and functional as it was the day we bought it. Zero wear and tear. The nice thing about a chambered air mattress is that it weighs less than 15 pounds. Super-easy to change the sheets and "make the bed" every day.
