The Kindsdown Sleep to Live mattress series is very popular right now (yes Sleep to Live is by Kingsdown). Kingsdown actually have a Sleep to Live Research Center where they study aspects of healthful sleep. The Kingsdown Sleep to Live Diagnostics system (which they claim took over 15 years to develop, several million dollars of investment, and involved two of the world’s best sleep scientists) allows one to create a customized sleep surface that provides proper support and comfort. [REF Kingsdown Mattress Reviews 2010]
According to Kingsdown the Sleep to Live Diagnostics System uses 18 key statistical measurements and over one-thousand calculations to determine the sleep surface that will deliver the best in postural support and pressure relief for your body type. This is a fairly simple 3-step process:
1) Answer a few questions (such as age, weight, height and issues related to back problems) 2) Lay down on their diagnostic bed which uses a computer to capture key data via pressure sensitive pads (creates a digital map of the body and pressure points) 3) Kingsdown uses the output to determine the best mattress for your body type (proper posture support and pressure relief). The system also determines the proper pillow for you.
The system allows for something called “My Side Technology” made for couples whereby each half of the mattress is made to conform especially to the person sleeping on that side of the bed. Consumers have indicated that this is really quite effective. You may want to view the brochure with images here. Additionally, a video is available and worth a watch to see what the system looks like - it is a fairly short sleep to live video (about half-way down the page).
The Sleep to Live (Kingsdown) mattresses use individual pocket springs which are supposed to provide proper spinal support and help keep the spine aligned. A mattress with the right level of support should also ensure better blood flow and ease pressure on joints. The Sleep to Live mattresses are sold by Sleep to Live stores or Sleep to Live partners. They tend to be fairly expensive starting at about 1500+ USD for a double but they come with very long manufacturers warranties (often 10 years to Lifetime).
In late 2009 the “Sleep to Live” program began rolling out in Mattress Firm locations throughout the US (Mattress Firm is a premier specialty bedding retailer and they have a growing partnership with Kingsdown Inc.). Mattress Firm have 475 outlets nationwide and the sleep to live rollout will continue through 2010. It should also be noted that Mattress Firm also sell Sealy, Tempur-Pedic, Serta and Simmons mattresses.

Having investigated several sources of information on this series of mattresses, the entire Sleep to Live marketing concept focuses some on the benefits of getting quality sleep and very much on the potentially damaging health factors related to poor sleep such as reduced short term immunity and long-term health issues.
We purchased this bed about six weeks ago. We both tested as Royal which is their medium-firm mattess in the 800 series. We had to return it because one side was too soft and you rolled downhill to get out of bed; while the other side was as hard as a rock, lumpy, and forced you to roll uphill to get out of bed. They did replace it after three weeks of complaining but the new bed has issues too. It is lumpy and has a hump in the middle. I've never awakened with such pain in my lower back and hips as I have with this mattress. It's been three weeks since the replacement (we're trying to give it a fair chance) but I'd don't think we can take it much longer without improvement.
The hump in the middle is because you have a double sided bed (one side is made to be softer than the other) Sleep to Live has four differnt feels that you can mix and match so each person can get the feel they want. We purchased the same bed six months ago and love it. you can barely feel the divider in the middle. Personaly i think these are great beds. my husband has always perfered a extra firm bed, while I like pillow tops, so one of us has always been unhappy with the beds the other picks out. If you really don't like the divider in the middle the bed can be ordered with the same firmness on each side
I agree, this sounds like an associate replying. I purchased the 400 series, tan and green per their computer system recommendation and we are very unhappy with the back support we are getting. We needed it to be firmer, but went with their recommendation. I went to Sunshine Furniture in Tulsa yesterday and they told me there was nothing they could do since we have had the bed for 3 months. The sales people will tell you anything to get you to by. These beds are very over priced.
Hello Sleep to Live Mattress,
I had to stop my busy schedule and take time to tell you about the Sleep to Live Mattress that I bought as a newly-wed. My wife and I wanted a King size mattress because we work different hours and we did not want to disturb the other getting in and out of bed. We went to Sleepy?s and loved the Sleep to Live Mattress, 600 series, blue color firmness.
Our total cost with Labor Day savings was over $3,500, and I could not be more dissatisfied. It does not feel like the store model even after three months of use. My calls to Sleep to Live offered NO help. All my questions were answered that I should contact Sleepy?s with any problems because they sold me the mattress. Sleep to Live was only interested in selling mattresses, not customer satisfaction! How can a store model feel so different than the mattress delivered to your home, even after three months of use. My wife now sleeps on the couch a few nights a week complaining of low back pain from sleeping on the Sleep to Live mattress (never had low back pain before). The couch is more comfortable!
Can you imagine my frustration as I received a bill today stating that I still owe more than $3,000? I am telling everyone I know, and work with, about my problems with my new, expensive mattress. I work in a large New Jersey Hospital. I hope this grabs your attention as the people I talk to everyday are the ones that can afford your overpriced mattresses.
WE bought one 18 months ago and had exactly the same problems and are about to skip ours as we cant face another night on the bed. We complained but were fobbed off again and again, my suggestion go back to the store before its too late
There's hope! My husband and I have a gold and green series 400 bed which we purchased from Sleepy's. The soft side was killing me so we switched, but a queen-sized is too small to keep from rolling onto his size. Sleepy's now offers a Comfort Guarantee which will give you a huge return if you want to purchase a different mattress. Our matress is two years and we get 80 percent back as long as the new mattress costs 1600 or more. Not a perfect deal, but much better than starting over. Good luck!
I have had a sleep to live green for 3 years and have never had a problem with it. I have recommended this bed to my parents, brother and friends. They have all bought Sleep to live and have never complained or had issues. Actually, after my mother bought her Sleep to Live bed, she did not need her back surgery.
Hi, we're thinking of buying sleep to live 400 series, blue, which is the firm mattress. So many negative things were said, are you still happy w/your mattress?
we bought the 400 series blue by the recommendation of the salesman due to the computer analysis, I preferred the the green and now I feel like I'm sleeping on the floor, it's so hard. I already did one comfort exchange and now I think I'm screwed.
we bought the 200 series in Mar.2010, my husband tested green & i was one softer,the salesman recommended going all green, since he had heard of customers having issues with the divider, so i agreed. My husband loved the firm support,but i felt like i was sleeping on the floor..not happy:(! We were going to do a comfort exch. ($250) but instead decided to invest in a good memory foam topper first (which was returnable-not from Sleepy's) since the 200series doesn't come with the extra topper built in. Since getting this topper we both absolutely love our mattress, it is soft,yet very supporting. We saved ourselves some $$ & a lot of headache.
Both my husband and I are waking up with lower back aches. Forget about them telling you that you dont feel movement from your partner its a lie! I am convinced that the bed in the showroom is the high quality "sell it" bed and the one that you spend $$ on is the cheap low end quality. EXTREMELY disappointed. I have been sleeping on the couch for months. Did I say EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED.
I was super excited to get our sleep to live mattress. We got it last night and I'm pretty disappointed. My husband's blue side and my tan side feel almost one in the same and I can totally feel him move around on it!
I love my side but i think he'll want to take it back... definitely didn't live up to what the salesman said it was.
I agree 100% I have bought a king single am an older person with aches and pains but they are worse now in one week since I took delivery. I cannot sleep in the centre as there is not the support so the wonderful nights sleep I was looking for did not happen.I am about to contact the retailer and get some action. Yes the bed quality I tried in the shop is not the bed I had delivered.I asked the salesman for assurance of quality and he said yes.HA HA HA.
After nursing our old mattress along for way too many years, we purchased our 800 Series Red/Blue in February. King size and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, IT!
We have the 'middle bar', but it is not noticable at all. Perhaps it is more of an issue on smaller beds with the 'softer' mattresses?
(I've spent many years in retail and am therefore a very skeptical/frugal shopper. I always research when it comes to investing money in a product/item I expect to last.)
My husband is 6'4" 255lbs; I am 5'4" 125lbs. He tested out very firm; I tested out very soft. Our salesperson advised us not to get the 'softest' (on my side) offered, because of the way it's made. Great advice. I choose to go one step lower than my husband's side and couldn't be happier! It is plenty soft for me, while still offering the support I need. I think I would have been miserable if I went with what the machine said.
We both feel like we are sleeping on a cloud, but with plenty of support! No more back, neck, joint aches...and, best of all, his snoring has subsided! Sleeping in on a rainy weekend morning is the best!
Did my research...read as many reviews as I could...
Didn't like what I read about the Tempur-pedic -- coupled with reviews from people we know had one. Also, didn't like the idea of paying big bucks for an over-rated air mattress (Sleep Number). Our friends purchased one -- hate it.
We knew we were going to invest in a quality mattress. Although it was pricey, work with the sales...
just wondering did you test for the gold color. I tested gold and my husband green, but the salesperson said no on ever buys gold b/c its too soft - was that your experience?
If I were you I would cancel my purchase, they will tell you is a great bed but it is not. We paid $2000 for it and it buldged in 4 months, now we are stuck with Sit and Sleep, must get a replacement within 30 days and stay within the "invoiced" price, it is a nightmare!
Hi Ace, was reading your review and wondered where you were in satisfaction currently with your bed. We are ordering the same size as you in the Navy/Chairman style. We are both big people in height and weight. Thank you so very much. Erin erin_rothchild@yahoo.com
Get the Tempurpedic. Trust me! We have had this be for 3 months. I literally am falling off the bed and wake up with back aches EVERY morning!
My husbands side has an impression of 1.5 inches and they are still giving us a problem to take it back.
Worst purchase I have ever made for a whopping $3500.00.
Bought this bed in April 2010 with the adjustable base. It is now July 2010. Love the bed until my wife noticed there was a bulge on the side of her mattress. Called Kingsdown - they say they will send out an inspector but I will have to cover half the cost $25.00 - so I paid it. The inspector can not come out for 2 weeks. In the mean time the bulge on the side of the mattress is getting bigger. Here is hoping they replaced it (when I bought the mattress the sales person said it has a 20 year warranty).
I was really excited about ordering this bed. Sure it was going to take all our aches and pains, tossing and turning away but maybe NOT after reading all the bad reviews. How was the service dealing with the warranty?
My husband and I were thinking about the same thing. I agree, maybe we should keep looking for a better product. I have made this mistake once before which is why we am shopping again for a better mattress. I can't imagine spending $3000+ for a mattress and not getting any satisfaction. Have you purchased the Sleep to Live?
I stepped into the store totally unfamilliar with mattresses since my current mattres is one I got for free with my furniture purchase. I've slept on a great mattress in a hotel and would wish to get that. I tried explaining the mattress to the salesman and he made me try similar guesses. None worked for us. The salesman made me try the sleep to live in several versions and found the 600 just perfect, not the best but, next to the best. After reading so many negatives with recommedations to tempurpedic, I am trying to diffrenciate between marketting comments versus experience comments. Please anwere your true experience with the sleep to live mattress. If you market any other mattress, please do not respond. I searching for true and honest response. thanks.
Just like You, We went in blind and were torn btwn the sleep to live and the tempurpedic. We got the sleep to live and it has been a month now. We are both wakeing up sore and I am now going to get a massage because I have knots in my shoulders and back. The only thing I can attribute this to is the bed and I am now calling to swap these for the tempurpedic king instead. I can also feel when hubby gets in and out of bed so that part is a lie also. I hope your experience is better than ours but we will not purchase another sleep to live mattress set! Best of luck!
My husband and I bought a red/green combination on July 5, in the 200 series (kingsized, no top padding). He loves his (soft)side. I am crippled with lower back pain from my rock-hard red side and have been sleeping on my down comforter. The salespersons have offered to replace the mattress with a 600 red/green (the blue, or medium firm, feels too soft to me). Of course, it is much more expensive, and there is a hefty exchange fee. Meanwhile, I am napping during the day on my husband's side. I will say, in response to other comments, that on our mattress the two sides are as different as night and day. Can't tell from the comments here whether we will ever be satisfied with this mattress. The only alternative (because we can't go down in price) is the Cloud Tempurpedic, which my husband no longer likes (but did initially). The other Tempurpedics are too hard for him. We need to make a decision. Any comments, from non-salespersons?
My husband & I purchased a Sleep to Live mattress. I have never had more lower back pain in my life. I have tried to get the store (KITTLES) to make some kind of exchange and they refuse. I do not know how I am going to continued sleeping on this bed. I will also never purchase anything from KITTLES again.
Kim: You should insist on an exchange! Most stores have an exchange policy: Bloomingdales claims if you are dissatisfied within 5 years, they will give credit (by some complicated formula) towards a new mattress! Sleepy's gives you three weeks to decide, plus a week for the physical exchange. I never heard of Kittles, but they have to do something for you. Bottom line: Don't continue sleeping on a bed that is creating pain and making you miserable. Even if you lose money on the deal (and you will), your physical and mental health are more important.
My wife and I entered the store to casually look and get some information about purchasing a mattress for us. We knew that these places have pushy sales associates and were upfront and honest with the sales associate that approached us that we were not buying that day and we were out for the first time just looking for information. The sales associate was helpful and informative. He was trying to sell us on a $2800 mattress even though my wife and I liked another set that was a $1000 cheaper. As we were about to leave he wanted to get our information if a deal or special came up he would inform us and if we changed our minds in the next couple of days the purchasing process would be started. As we were at the desk he kept throwing in more perks such as free frame, sheets, pillows, covers, etc... we still kept telling him that we were not ready to purchase and the price was out of our budget. He informed us of the 0% for 24 months and we sad we were not interested. He insisted that he would check and see if we could just qualify for the financing. We said that we could check after we were assured that it would not affect our credit score and that we were not purchasing anything.
After a couple of minutes he said we are approved. We said good and we will get back to him if we changed our minds about purchasing the mattress. He then informed us that we needed to select a delivery date. My wife and I looked at each other and asked if we just bought this set the sales associate s...
I have never had sleeping issues, that was until I purchased the sleep to live 600 with my girlfriend. We purchased the Tan/Green mattress and I could not be more unhappy. I constantly feel like I am sleeping on the side of a hill. It is totally uncomfortable. I had a pillow top mattress before this and was completely happy with that. I will do anything to get rid of this mattress. If you don't move one bit during the night in your sleep, you MAY be happy with this mattress, but if you ever roll from side to side, you will feel like you are rolling off a hill.
I purchased a Sleep to Live matress 6 months ago. I needed something very firm for my lower back. After the first month of turning it I got severe lower back pain! This continued on for 2 months more. I went to the Salesman and told him and he suggested I buy a foam cusion for the top. I did and it was worse! 6 months later, I am now in the midst of getting a credit for something else. Customer service for the company says as long as there is no visible indentation in the bed, it is not defective. I paid almost $1400 for this matress and now I will have to pay more to exchange it. American manufacturers suck!! The consumer always gets the shaft! I have not had one night without back pain!!
I bought my sleep to live in April 2010 (400 series), and full enjoyed the bed until July 2010. That is when I noticed my wife?s side of the mattress had a bulge on the side of the mattress. I contacted Sleep to live, and they said they will send out an inspector but I would have to pay $25. I said ok I just spent $5,000 on a bed now 4months later they want me to spend another $25 to get it inspected. I had no choice but to agree. It took them 2 weeks to get an inspector to come out and inspect the bed. (All the while my wife could not sleep comfortable on a bed we spent $5000 on). After the inspector came out, he took pictures (which I do not believe he took very well). All he said while he was at my home was Sleep to live will be in touch 7 to 10 day later. (So more time has passed and my wife is still sleeping on an uncomfortable $5000 bed). A week and a half after the inspector came out, I received a letter in the mail from Sleep to life saying they are decline my claim.( they did not even have the nerve to call me and talk to me in person).
It is now the end of July and I have a $5000 broken bed that only lasted 4 months.
At first I would recommend sleep to live to everyone I know, now I wished I did not
I will let everyone I know my experience with sleep to live and their $5000 bed.
Why in the world did you spend $5000 on that bed? It's selling for $1400 at the store right now. I'd tell you to go back to the store, usually local stores will work with you, but it seems they ripped you off from the get-go.
This is by far the worst purchase I have ever made in my life. When I received the mattress, the chemical fumes were so bad, I had an allergic reaction with eyes watering, sneezing. After 2 weeks on the mattress, I had developed severe lower back pain. After 3 weeks, the center of the mattresss sunk. When I attempted to talk to Sleepy's about it, they said all they could do was discount me the $300+ to replace it with a different mattress. Now, why on earth would I give them another $300 dollars for an equally poor product that would once again expose me to who knows what kind of chemicals, back pain, and a sunken center? What a waste of $1900 dollars! I am so disappointed in myself for giving this store and the product the benefit of the doubt despite all the bad reviews. I can't even give it away of Craigslist. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE!!!!!
My husband and I bought ours after he suffered a back injury. I never thought a bed made a big difference in my sleep but this bed changed my life. We bought the 600 series both sides are the same. Can't feel the divider at all. My husbands high body heat drove me crazy before and now I don't notice it. His movement at night is greatly reduce but not totaly perfect. I over slept every day for the first week we had this bed. Truley worth the $2500 investment.
I absolutly without a doubt love my Sleep to live. I had a Tempurpedic before, it made my husband sweat so bad! So we got the Sleep to live 700 series. We have been sleeping on it for 10 months now. Best sleep I have ever got. I don't feel him move at night. I will definatly buy a Sleep to live again!
recently married and we did not live together so getting a mattress should have been easy, so i thought! we have had three mattresses in 7 months. i know this sounds like a joke but its not. all of them were to hard for me to sleep on. we went to sleepy's and got measured. it said we both needed blue, sent it next day and within an hour i was on the couch. next day went back and switched it for green and tan. there is a major hump in the middle of the bed and my husband (with a bad back) keeps falling on to my side! they said u are only allowed to do one comfort exchange. now had an inspector come to my home, and he said that there is a defect with the bed and that i will be hearing from them with in 2 weeks. i am keeping my fingers crossed and praying that something will work for us. other wise 3 grand is down the drain. my advice don't even try the computerized bed test it's all a scam.
My wife and I just bought a Sleep to live yesterday. We opted to get the same sleep # at 600 blue. Will we still feel the center divide? Also, with all these bad reviews I am very tempted to return the bed today.
I purchased a 800 red/blue in January. I love the bed. My wife has stopped complaining about her back. (she still complains about me.) The guy in the store knew his stuff. I would purchase another and not think twice about it.
i sell the stl range and i have also studied sleep outside my work with the company and i have to say atfer reding all these comments, most of the time the sercive claims we get are comfort issues because people dont understand wat comfort is! we are not born with a str8 spine so why on earth would u choose a firm mattress? plus you shouldnt sleep in the middle of the bed, that would be why u feel the divider, on any mattress if u both sleep in the middle it puts stress on any spring unit! thats why u have different sides! sleep on ur own side and you will find that mattress feels different. plus it also can take up to 4 weeks for ur body to adjust to a new feel not over night! and if you are currently sleeping on a firm mattress then expect to have lower back pain for the first week because going from frim surfuce to a soft one its realising all your toxins out of ur joints that have stored over time! i believe these mattress are great not because i sell them but because i sleep on them!
Well, give it a year and you will find that this mattress will be sagging. We are absolutely miserable with this mattress. One year after purchase we were at 1 1/4 inch sag. The warranty is at 1 1/2 inches, so we've decided to make Art Van come out every month until we hit the necessary sag. Ridiculous! Don't even think about spending 2 grand on this mattress.
Why people are saying they can feel their partner move? Just bought the 400 seris last night i was moveing and my wife said she could not feel anything. Wife Green I am blue no rolling onto her or her rolling onto me. Sofar love it.
I know there are a lot of reviews on this site about this product some good and some bad. I just want to throw my 2 cents in. I did a lot of research on mattresses before I even walked into a store and read all the reviews. for most brands you can always find negative reviews and it is always more than the positives. because people who are unhappy are more likely to complain than people who are happy. so I figured that I would buck the system and saw that I have had my sleep to live bed for about a year now and really love it. my wife and I have different colored sides and we went with the 400 series. we are not big complaints, but definitely would put up a stink if we didn't love our bed which was about 2000 dollars. so count my vote for love this bed!! It is super comfortable, customizable, and even though it was a bit more expensive than we were planning to spend, we are glad we invested in our sleep!
My husband and myself were shopping at Baer's Furniture and went into the mattress section to just look around...not intending to purchase anything. The salesperson came over and talked with us and insisted we try the diagnositic machine from Kingsdown. We both did the test on the machine. My husband was a red and I was a blue.We laid on the 800 Series in the store and it felt like heaven. We decided to get one...BAD CHOICE! I never do things like that without reseaching reviews but this was a very expensive mistake...king size $4000.00 plus. After receiving the first 800 Series it seemed really confortable for about four months then we noticed a "hump" forming in the center and it got bigger and bigger until we both were sleeping on the edge of a king size bed. We called Baer's and they contacted Kingsdown and it took forever and they sent us a camera and a piece of string to take photos of the bed. They explain exactly what type of photos they wanted. We did as they asked and received a letter a week or so later stating they would be exchanging the bed for a new 800 Series. We waited and finally the new bed came (I was sleeping in our La-Z-Boy chair for most of that time). It was hard as a rock from day one. Nothing like the first one we received. We called Baer's immediately and reported the issue. They advised us we had to wait 60 days for the "break in period" before we could do anything about the problem. It was a LONG, LONG 60 days. Again ...
I Love my Bed,9 months ago,when i got it from Sleepy's the Sales Person told me we have to follow the results from the Test,I was Red and my wife Green,can't explain how happy we are on our be,BEST INVESTMENT I'VE MADE!
My wife and I have had innerspring mattresses our whole life. We wanted to try Tempurpedic but every place we went to including speaking directly with Tempurpedic said that we can try the bed out for 90 days, if we didn't like it we can swap it out but there are restocking fees and we had to choose something equal or greater than our first purchase. We ended up going into a Mattress Firm and they informed us that they do something different. They allow you to try any bed out for 100 days and if you are not happy you can exchange it with no fees and even if you go down in price they will refund you the difference. The best part is that they even said if we couldn't find anything we like they would give us a 100% full refund and they had all this in writing. We chose the Tempurpedic Celebrity bed and had it for 45 days and it just didn't work out. So we went back to the store and told them; they weren't mad they just wanted to find the right bed for us. After talking about a few different models they suggested trying Sleep to Live's Diagnostic machine. It recommended a Royal/Steel and we bought the Executive. We have now had it for 60 days and it's the best bed we have ever had. We thought Tempurpedic would work because of the personalized support it offers but it was just to weird. We still get that personalized support with Sleep to Live at a feel we both like better.
With no one else offering a 100 day happieness guarantee there is no other reason to buy anywhe...
Do you know if Mattress Firm is in Tennessee? I want to try one of the diagnostic machines and it sounds like that Sleep to Live mattress may be what the wife and I need.
I bought and returned the 600 blue series 4 days after getting it. Both sides were blue we weight 175 and 145, and the hump in the middle stinks. You have to sleep on your side to stay comfortable. The need to design one that has no middle barrier to separate especially if you want the same firmness throughout the bed. We tried sleeping together and we just roll back to our sides.
Every mattress out there will have good reviews and bad reviews. Most beds have about a 50% approval rating. Not to mention, the lower end of a manufacturer will be completely different than the top end. Don't buy from someone that is pushy, they won't give you the cust service you need later. Buy from someone who is trying to find the best bed for you and not for their paycheck. I know several people who love their sleep to live beds, but no manufacturer is without defect and no bed is perfect for everyone. I've slept on a bonnel coil, pocketed coil, innerspring (sealy), and now have a tempurpedic. Sealy was the only one that hurt me. And by the way-there is no perfect non-motion transfer bed out there. There are better ones than others, but no perfect. Yes, salesperson here, but I sell sealy, simmons, sterns, tempur, local brand, latex bliss, miforma and sleep to live beds in my store. Non-biased. And I have to sleep too! Find the support you need, the comfort/pressure relief you want and the quality in your budget. Good luck. :) ~Want an honest opinion?

My husband and I purchased a sleep to live 800 series bed in June 2010. The first two months of sleeping on the green side were great. Then, all of a sudden I have the most incredible low back pain with a burning sensation. I've been to the chiropractor to see if it's my back but it's not. This bed literally folds up around me. I feel I'm laying in a pot hole. I cannot sleep on this bed anymore. I wake up at least 6 to 8 times per night.Has anyone else experienced this burning? Reminds me of when I've slept on a bad sofa.
My husband and I bought the 600 series($2500) mattress in Aug. we have not had a good night's sleep since we got this mattress. My side of the bed is like sleeping in a pot hole, I like to sleep on my stomach, but forget that you can't possibly bend that way. My husband's side feels like your rolling down a hill. I am now waiting for an inspector to come and look at it. This felt nothing like the one in the store. So very disappointed.
My husband and I went mattress shopping, as with many people we tried out a multitude of mattresses. We came down to two different brands, one being the Live to Sleep 400 series, we chose this one over another brand due to the warranty. My husband was extremely resistant to the prices, but went along with me. We have a red and blue King Mattress, and believe me it is wonderful. We have had it 3 months, went away for a week and could not believe the aches and pains, sleeping on a different mattress and we sleep so good and feel good when we get up, even my husband is now a believer and he tells me how happy he is withe mattress all the time. We fully recommend the Live to Sleep.
Spent $4000 on an 800 series mattress and within a month the bed is sagging over an inch! This doesn't meet their requirement for a replacement. I've had $400 mattresses that held up better than this! Customer service is simple.. you bought it, now your stuck with it. Don't assume that you get what you pay for. These things are overpriced junk!
Very upset about this purchase. Paid 3600.00 on the 800 series. Have only had this mattress for less than 2 months and we are having major issues I only weight 115 lbs my husband 145 lbs. there is already noticeable breakdown, by morning its sages down like sleeping in a hammock, we roll into each other. We were told "you won't ever feel your partner moving". Not true! We had an inspector out and they said that we are still within a 1/4" of acceptable for the warranty, but we can call again in 60 days or they can offer us a discounted price on a new mattress. Is this a scam?? Don't be fooled by thinking more expensive its better, DO your research first! Wish we would have.
Purchased a Sleep To Live 800 (Royal / Steel). Our salesman was real suave and negotiated tons with us. Part of our agreement was that we could upgrade to a newer model or get our entire purchase price reimbursed should we be dissatisfied with the new bed for any reason. We had a few scheduling issues (meaning the bed didn't come in when promised twice) and finally our bed arrived. A couple weeks later the 2011 "Chairman" line came out with tons of new features (less likely to sag or get humps, less obvious center divider, better breathing, less feeling of "rolling" off the side, new fabric, etc). Feeling we'd be better in the long run with the newer model, we asked for and upgraded for only the delivery fee after showing our in-writing promise to upgrade for no-charge. The new 2011-Chairman line is stiffer as a whole than the old 800-series (which we didn't know until after we got it), so we called back and asked for softer sides (Steel / Skye vs Royal / Steel) and paid another delivery charge for the exchange. Aside from waiting for deliveries and an overall lack of communication, we're finally pretty happy with our purchase. Ultimately we paid $3600 for the original 800-series bed plus two additional $69 delivery fees. Included were two tempurpedic pillows, the vibrating / tilting / wirelss base, a mattress protector and the mattress. This was through Mattress Firm in DFW (via a home show, not a show room). Its also worth mentioing that we've only had this...
We purchased a Sleep to Live series 700 mattress about a month ago and this is the best we have ver slept! There are a lot of bad reviews and I wantd to post a positive review. It seems most people only post reviews if they are upset. Each mattress is different and each person will enjoy or hate a mattreess that someone else may love. You need to spend time, lots of time, in the showroom testing and laying on different mattresses to test them out and find which mattress feels the best to you. Don't rely on a salesman to sell you what he wants you to buy. You are the one will will ultimately spend 1/3 of your life sleeping on a mattress, so make sure to really test different mattresses to find the one that fits you the best. As to our series 700, we have the split bed with red for me and blue for my wife and we both absolutly love this mattress!
Looking to purchase the 400 series. Is this bed better than a 1000 single coil firm bed? why are there so many bad reviews? Has anyone had a better bed? what was it?
I've had my $4000 (king steel) sleep to live for a week, and wish I had listened to some of these reviews. At first I loved it...then something wasn't right..i also felt the 'hammock' effect others have mentioned. I just feel like i sink into the bed when i move, particularly in the 'derrier' region when laying on my back. When I go to roll over, its a big of a struggle.
Also, I noticed when I sit on the side of the bed, the sides (below the pillow top) bulge way out and you sink down several inches. i checked the mattress in my guest room ($800 sealy posturpedic), and it doesn't do this at all.
Going back to Mattress firm and hoping I don't get the run around others have mentioned.
I bought the 400 series Tan. If you test in the Tan, I suggest buying the Green. I'm having to return the Tan - it is too soft and I experienced lower back pain because the mattress was too soft - the middle of my body sinks into the mattress. I had to use my air mattress and sleep on the floor just to get some relief. I hate I bought this brand mattress - it is not at all the great mattress the salesperson said it would be. I've traded for the 400 Green/Blue. I'm hoping it is better. I gave up my Simmons Beautyrest and I regret it now. I wish I had read the reviews before I wasted my money. I should have purchased a Sealy from a different store. I've learned my lesson - Simmons or Sealy from now on.
3 weeks ago our 1000 series blue/green King was deliverd. It has a hump in the middle, I sleep on the green and when hubby is in the bed I roll down the hill, have shoudler pain from what I can gather is my body holding itself up all night..well when I am asleep anyway..all the other time is me tossing, turning. The only way I can sleep is on the edge, I am starting to call this bed the "divorce" bed..cant get near each other its just not possible. Waiting for someone to call back to organise an appointment to inspect it! OMG what have we done!
We bought the highest end Sleep to Live mattress for $4000 with the hope of finding the end all bed. It started out just fine, but after 45 days it was clear it was not the bed for us. We were happy to have a clear refund agreement with the supplier. After 45 days we received 100% money back and they picked it up for free. If you buy this bed make sure to have a good understanding of the refund policy.
Just got my Sleep to Live bed and my husband and I love it! We both got Twin XL and pushed them together to create a king which avoids the hump in the bed some of you talk about since I am a steel and he is a royal. We also love that we are able to put the beds on an adjustable base. Definitely the last bed purchase we will make since it comes with a life warranty and solves our back and snoring problems!
Wow- I feel bad for everyone so unhappy. I reasearched for months before buying a new mattress and I was very nervous about the decision due to negative reviews I found on every type of mattress. I wonder if people who have unfortunate experiences are quicker to write than those with OK or even good outcomes. That's why I decided to write. My husband commented just this morning at how happy he is with our purchase and I thoought it was about time I posted a comment. My husband has a bad back. He had resorted to sleeping on the floor. He is a Surgeon so this was a ridiculous situation. He needed a good night's sleep. The tempurpedic was a turn off because of the sinking and heat issue. He sleeps hot. Every other one we tried was too soft for him, too hard for me. We thought the mattresses in the showroom were for marketing only. I made the comment that it was too bad you couldn't get one with each side different and was thrilled to learn we could. I went home and researched. Got nervous- but had to do something. We've had the bed for 8 months now and are happy. We have a King, mid- priced and have the firmest and next firm. We did not do a computer scan- just tested them out til we decided on our own. Yes, you can feel a difference in the middle, but since we've been married over 2 decades- not a huge deal. We go to bed to mostly sleep! While awake- who cares? My husband also takes yoga now- has this contributed? Maybe. But he hasn't been on the floor onc...
I bought the 400 series Tan - much too soft and caused lower back pain. I was going to trade for the Blue/Green, but the Green also felt a little too soft -I would still sink into the mattress and the Blue was a little too firm as I am a side sleeper. I needed something with a comfort level in between the Green and Blue. I realized that Sleep to Live is not for my body. I could not get the support or comfort that I need. I'm not saying that STL is not a good mattress, it just was not good for me and these mattresses cost too much not to get a good nights sleep. I ended up getting a Sealy - it just feels better and sleeps better for me. What helped me the most was that thru it all I did have a patient, kind, and the absolute best sales person at Sleepy's - Mr. L. Johnson - he worked with me to make sure I was happy. Sealy and Simmons from now on.
After sleeping on a too-soft mattress for years, I went to Sleepy's to look for something firmer. I had never heard of Sleep to Live. After trying ten or twelve different beds; I tried this mattress, and didn't want to get up! I've been sleeping on it now for two months, and haven't slept this well in many, many years! I hardly move all night, and wake up refreshed. I used to be up and down all night, and would wake up feeling exhausted, but not any more! I just hope this lasts a long, long time. I'm VERY happy with my purchase. I would definitely recommend this bed to others. (and have!!)
having a nightmare just to get any action with regard to our complaint. my problem is the divide isnt in the centre its about 17 inches in from my edge , the tan side , so i am permanently lopsided! hate the mattress makes me feel quite sick that if nothing gets sorted we will be paying off this purchase for the next year. its all packed and im back in the single bed and partner is on an airbed. lets hope bensons beds can redeem this issue quickly
I am a bedding insider. It may help to keep these reviews in perspective. There are hundreds of thousands of mattresses sold every year and you will find only a few hundred reviews between all brands. You add to it that dissatisfied people are far more motivated to vent their frustrations than those that are satisfied, so OF COURSE you will find more negative reviews than positive reviews. Comfort is personal and there is no way any manufacturer can know what our preferences are. When shopping, pay attention to what your body says more than what your sales person says. And TAKE YOUR TIME IN THE STORE B4 U BUY. No manufacturer is perfect, but some are far more reputable than others. If a manufacturer has been around for more than a century, chances are good that they have satisfied thousands and thousands of people.
I just finished reading all the comments & I agree with John & Sleep Consultant! It's true that people are quick to complain but find it difficult to pay a compliment. I purchased this 600 Series on my own without my husband because he can sleep anywhere & in any position! We have stayed in hotels where he had no problem sleeping & I have had to have Maintenance put plywood between the mattress & box-spring! I am like the Princess & The Pea when it comes to my comfort!!I knew that there could be problems in the center if we had separate firmnesses which the salesman at Sleepy's warned me. My husband went away for the weekend & I slept in the bed 2 nights before he did....Friday night. The first night, I did notice that if I was close to edge, if felt like I may roll out. I had been use to sleeping on edge of my last mattress because it was firmer on the edge. Now, I am lying closer to the center which means I am closer to my husband!! Normally, sleeping late for me is 7:30AM. I slept until 9:40AM Saturday morning! Normally, I need to sleep with a flatter pillow between my knees, not needing that any longer!! Also, I have never been able to sleep on my back. With this mattress, I can!! Sleeping on our back is better for less facial wrinkles! Another plus....I have been going through "Night-Sweats" & I have not awakened the past 4 nights with any!! YAY!! It seems like it's a cooler mattress which is what was important to me when I was questioning my sale...
I never write comments on pages like this, but I feel that after the over $2,000 we spent on our mattress, that I had to comment. STAY AWAY FROM THIS MATTRESS. We bought the bed in May, and within 30 days had it exchanged for another of the same (red/green 600). My side (green) was sloping down to the headboard and I was in a trough. It was great for the first 2 nights, and then it sunk. The bed has a lifetime warranty, so I was convinced by the sales rep to exchange it. (Stuck in the 30 day exchange for equal or greater value--but it is just about the most expensive bed in the store!) I have been living with the new mattress for 5 months and almost immediately the same situation developed. There is a visible trough and the upper half of the mattress slopes down to the headboard (despite adding more reinforcements to the frame below). I have back pain every night and toss and turn. It is horrible. I will have to have them come and inspect the bed, but I am afraid I am going to be stuck with the same thing AGAIN. Don't buy this bed!!!!!!!
We purchased the top of the line Chairman from Matt Firm, Navy/Royal. We returned in 15 days, under defective replacement, due to the sagging, deep impressions, growing middle hump and rolling off on the soft side issues. Unfortunately the replacement is beginning to do the same thing. Glad for the 100 day guarantee.
Do not buy this bed! It's all nonsense about calculating the right bed for you! I got tan and my husband got blue.....my side sinks all the way in and I wake with a sore back that eventually I get back spasms from. I am in pain the entire day from it! I dread going to sleep!
Anyway, after a lot of nasty customer service people I finally got to speak with someone today who is going to allow the comfort exchange. The problem is I don't trust the sales people anymore as they only steer you towards the bed with the biggest commission! By the time I actually get a bed and pay all exchange fees the best will cost much more than it's worth! This bed is made poorly and the edge actually collapses when you sit on it!
I purchased a full size top-of-the-line Sleep to Live mattress ONE year ago, and it is HORRID. We have the ridge down the center. And, it slopes from the center toward either side. It is difficult not to roll onto the floor. Sleepy's has no understanding of the concept of customer service.
My husband and I are considering purchasing the STL 800 series Red. Just came back from Sleep's. Loved how it felt, no different on either side, consider a full fell overall without, soft or fim option. Purchase price $3179. Please help. Do not want to impulse buy just because it felt great today!! Considering the future since I am told it is guaranteed for life!!
We bought a Chairman, steel/steel, $4400. The matress that was delivered was a lot firmer than the matress we tested in the store. We had felt the hump in the middle of the floor sample, but the salesman assured us that we would not feel it if we ordered both sides the same. He was wrong. It only took one night to realize we made a huge mistake. The matress was uneven and it felt like you were rolling toward the center of the bed. Neither of us got "restful" sleep. In the morning we both had severe back pain. Luckily we purchased our mattress from Mattress Firm. They ordered us a replacement, no problem. The only bad thing was having to continue to sleep on that thing until our new mattress was delivered. Our poor backs!
my husband and I got tested for sleep to live series because everyone we spoke to loves theirs. I tested a tan and he tested a green for the 400 series. The sales associate talked us into getting the green 400 because he thought I would be unhappy with the tan. We have not had it delivered yet because we are moving. Does anyone have adivce for us? Should I go back to Sleepy's and change back to the tan?
We have had ours for 4 years and LOVE it. Ours is the 800 series. Best bed we have ever owned.
I am smaller and my husband larger but we each have a mattress that suits us. No problems with lumps/bumps, etc. and would recommend to everyone, especially those dissatisfied Sleep Number Bed Owners, and I have a few friends like that!
This is the first truly comfortable bed I've ever owned and this is my permanent "new" bed!
After 6 years as a retail salesman in the BED industry and selling Sleep to Live since their introduction into the UK I was due to retire in October2010 and as I had good comments regarding Sleep to Live I purchased a 700 series Divan all Blue as this was what the test advised. Since taking delivery in July 2010 I have noticed a saggin on the right hand side of the mattress and a softening in the side. i must say at this point my wifes side of the bed has remained firm and shee is happy with the bed on her side.
my problem appears to be with the retailer and the manufacturer who refuse to accept there could be a problem with their product. I was told by the manufacturer from the pictures I sent with my complaint their was nothing wrong with the mattress and it just needs puffing up and have made no attempt to inspect the possible fault.
Do not be put of by my complaint as in my experience Sleep to Live is basically a good product but from my position their after sales service does leave somethin to be desired.
I think this mattress is terrible. After 1.4 years, its sagging and I can't even sleep in it. I paid over $2,000 for this and I am ready to drop it off at a thrift store
My wife suffers from migrains due to some neck and back issues so I figured we'd go all out to help her with a really good mattress. Less than a year later, we both have terrible lower back issues and countless restless nights. The problem is the sales pitch. Sleepys puts you on their fancy machine and tells you that they measure your pressure points to determine the correct mattress for you. That's all fine and dandy if we all slept on our backs. If you do, you'll will likely find this bed comfortable. If you tend to roll on your side or your stomach, you will get terrible lower back pains from this mattress as your spine will flex in the opposite driection. We are stuck wtih this $2000 piece of junk and I want to strangle the used car salesman at Sleepys that sold it to us (and that is offensive to used car salesman!). I wished I researched this mattress more before being sold a line of crap. We've had this mattress 8-months and both sides have troughed already let alone the miserable nights sleep we get from it.
I NEVER write reviews but I'm at the point where I feel taken advantage of with a crappy product. All in all, different strokes for different folks but BUYER BEWARE.........Kingsdown should fire their sleep scientist.......you would think they would consider that people don't just sleep on their backs!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!
This mattress ruined my summer! We did three exchanges in all---the third bed was defective---and I am happier now with my blue side than I was with the red. (The test was completely bogus.)It is way too squishy for me, though. My husband has loved the green all along.It is very soft, as he requested. The salesperson talked him out of the tan, which was good: The salespeople at Sleepy's were okay, I thought. It is their job to sell a low-quality, high-priced mattress. If I had read these reviews in advance, I would not have bought this mattress, even though I know that the happy people don't write reviews. There is a consistency to the bad reviews. Our mattress slopes off on each side. The middle is the most comfortable part, but I roll to the side from up there. The jostling from my husband's side is worse than it was on our 20-year-old Simmons. I am making do with this mattress, but no way will I keep it for life. After all the exchanges and upgrades, we have invested $5000, but at least hubby is happy.
When the so called Double matress arrived it was the smallest double I've ever seen, my feet are over the end and i'm only 5ft5. I find the matress makes me sweat at night and after 3 weeks it had very noticable dents. I've been told this was in the leaflet and its to be expected so the 10 year guarantee I was informed about is worthless. Its now full of dents and very uncomfortable to sleep on. After 6 months and £700 I've bough a new matress. Don't buy it unless you like a lumpy bed!
I was looking into purchasing the 400 blue series Live To Sleep I tested it out and fell in love with it... After I wanted to show my dad the mattress I was going to purchase at a different location and the 400 blue series was WAY TOO SOFT a totally different feel. So I did some investigating.. I went to 10 different Sleepy stores and some of them were amazing and some wern't. Urgg.. I don't want to get a Dud:(
Just reading all these negative comments..thank you all..You have given me a great Idea.. Since I have just put down a deposit on a sleep to live series 1000 bed, I will also ask that the Captain Snooze store sign a contract stating if I am not satisfied over a 100 period they will provide me with a refund ! If they do not sign I will cancel my order as is my right to do so here in Australia. So, I will cover my bases to ensure I either get e great bed or my money back !! thank you all so much..Sage
Purchased the 800 series-green,and unfortunately it sinks in the middle after just 2-3 months. I am sleeping fine and it is comfortable enough but am disappointed with the sagging in the middle. They call it "body impression" but the sag is far too deep for the money and what I expected. I would be cautious about investing in this mattress and regret the purchase.
Well, I was eager to come home to tell my husband all about the Sleep To Live Series (500 series) after spending an hour thinking this was the best bed I have ever laid on. But... after reading all of these negative comments, I think I will look at different mattress brands. Thank you for your reviews!!!!
My husband and I were saving up to purchase a King, Royal/Navy 800 series at the price of $4,500.00. After testing we thought it was the answer to our sleeping problems. But after reading all these negative reviews, I'll be damed if we spend our hard earned money for a mattress that may cause us more sleeping problems than we already have. As purchasers we are told which mattress to buy based on Sleep To Live testing method, for this reason alone the purchase should come with a 100 percent satisfactory or your money back guarantee. In today's economy a lot of folks can't afford to pay these high prices, but they can't take another sleepless night either. Come on Sleep To Live, read these reviews (they all seem to say the same thing)and improve your product. I'm not sure what we're going to do, but we're not willing to take the risk at this price.
Thank you all for your reviews. I had just purchased a 600 series blue for over $3000 because it felt so good in the store. After coming home, I thought I would check out what folks had to say, and promptly canceled the order. have researched mattresses for years, but gave into an impulse buy, with no pushing by the salesman, BTW. While I was looking forward to a good night's sleep, finally, this seems too iffy.
Unfortunately I gave into pressure from a sales manager not to cancel, with considerable price reduction as the incentive. Wish I had held with my decision to cancel. This was the worst night I've had, which is saying a lot. The bed is way too hard; could not find a comfortable position. The $100 pillow way too soft and not providing enough support. Now it's back to the drawing board, and I'm locked into getting another mattress of equal or greater price.
I too fell into the trap of the sale manager. She offered price reduction as the incentive. When I recieved the shipment today, it is missing two pillows. Call the sale manager, she said that they were removed to give me the saving. Haha. What can I say...
I was stupid enough to take the bait. Now, there is nothing else that I can do but to keep anyone that I know or not know away from this company.
This is simply the worse buying experience of my life.
BTW, while I was reading all the negative comments, I was thinking that there may just be more complaints against mattress company or mattress...
Now, I am one of those writting the complaints.
Don't buy from sleepys...
Research first before you buy
No impluse buy (bad...bad)
I will update with my experience of the STL 400. For now, it smells
I bought this bed at a Sleepy's after considering some cheaper options. I was a little worried after reading some of the awful reviews, but this bed is truly amazing! It took two weeks to get used to it but after that I really look forward to going home to my awesome bed! I don't feel the middle divider and haven't had any sagging. I've had the bed for a year and a half now with no problems. I bought the cheapest series (200 maybe?) and it definitely did the job. I don't see any reason why you would need to get anything more expensive. I recommend this bed to all my friends!
I am currently in the market for a new mattress. I was told by a few friends that this sleep to live bed is the best thing out there. They've had their beds for a few months now and still love it. I come on here and read all these negative reviews and it all confuses me. What should i do? I've looked into other beds but everyone has a negative opinion it seems like. Ugh!
I was so excited to be buying a new mattress -- until I had it installed. It felt very different from the Sleep to Live model I had chosen in the store. It was so hard and uncomfortable that I could only last four hours on it before I had to get up and sleep in the recliner. When I called the furniture store the next day, they said it was non-returnable and non-exchangeable because I had slept on it. Make sure you get something in writing about being satisfied with your purchase - something beyond the manufacturer's warranty. I didn't and now I have a $2000 bed I can't sleep on.
This was the worst purchase I have ever made! After about 3 months of sleeping on our so called "custom mattress" my wife and I are both suffering from severe back pain due to the Mattress we bought from SLEEP TO LIVE! which should be changed to No Sleep Just Pain! MY advice is to NOT BUY FROM HERE.
We received our Chairman yesterday, royal on both sides. We paid over $4000.
I have back problems, my wife does not. First thing we noticed is that we both tossed and turned all night, woke up about 10 times. I do not have cyatic problems but my leg felt different. back seemed to spasm more last night, this could be because my back is not used to being in line? When i got up and placed my feet on the grond this morning my feet were tinging. this never happens. My wife siad her shoulders felt cramped. We are going to continue to post until the bed breaks in. So far night 1 not impressed. My parents bought a cheap mattress and when we stayed there it was much more compfortable. However theirs may not last long. I went to the store I bought the mattress from before it was delvered and made sure there is no restocking fee and I could get my money back in case i do not like it. we are going to give it some time to see. Lets hope it changes. More tomorrow.
Thanks to all of you, I just canceled my Sleep To Live order, which was supposed to be delivered TODAY. I contacted the regional manager at Sleepys and told him he'd better be sure he wants to stand behind a product that's getting reviews like this. Of course I got the same story, that people are more likely to write bad reviews than favorable--that old gag. The problem is that we're not talking about just a few unsatisfied customers here...and about 99% of these reviews are among the worst I've read anywhere about ANY product.
Apparently, the warranty is bogus, since the manufacturer does not stand behind their product in the event of failure; the manufacturing tolerances are inconsistent at best, and longevity of the product is a serious concern; and many people are experiencing back problems that are exacerbated through the use of this product. Not good.
I was about to spend $3,000 on a Sleep to Live mattress, and for that kind of money there should be NO issues like the ones repeatedly described in this thread. I can't afford to gamble like that, and no one else I know can either. Are you listening Sleepys?
Good on you for cancelling, you were about to get ripped off for $3000. I have been trying to get my money back for 12 months and I can kiss it goodbye. Every complaint is true, there is no ten year warranty, the mattress sags and dips and the company will fob you off everytime. Each time they send you a camera to take photos of the mattres, it never arrives back at head office and so your on a vicious merry go round and NOTHING is ever done about your problem.
i wanted to believe in the mattress.
this morning i work up better than yesterday. however alot of tossing and turning last night.. My wife found it refreshing last night when she first layed down. She hasd no issues last night. My legs didnt tingle this morning when they hit the floor. I found it better when i got into bed but soon came restless. again i am giving this time to break in . I will continue.
worst mattress on the market, year and a half sag 1 3/4 inchs with bludge in the middle you can't get over, unless you have a rope. rep just left will turn in paper work, hopefully we will get store credit and not the same matteress problems all over again. $2600 for a piece of junk. Next time sleep by numbers..
Maybe i am geting a little closer to getting used to the bed. i still tossed and turned however on a scale which started at 8 (10 being the worst) i am at a 5 or 6. I found that the bed seams to cradle me once i am laying on it for a short period. My back is a little stiff but not like it was with the oldl bed. My wife doesnt have a problem and says it is okay. More on night 4.
We bought a Sleep to Live 200 Series (green on both sides) mattress and are very disappointed with it. It does not feel at all like the one in the store. Both of us -when we can sleep- wake with lower back pain; mostly we toss and turn. It feels as if the first couple inches are a "soft" material, but underneath that, it's hard. I also hate the way it forms to my body, but then doesn't pop back up. We agreed to give it a week, but after just 3 days I will be sleep ing the spare room; I can't take another night!
I am sleeping on a $100 mattress with a separately bought foam topper. It is OK but want better. After reading reviews on Green 400 Sleep to Live, will keep my cheap mattress. Or stay with a traditional brand and buy at macy's. Sleepy's gives me the creeps, they are like used car salesmen. All mattress salespeople seem to be like that. Why?
IT IS EASIER TO BUY A NEW CAR THAN A MATTRESS. THIS DECEPTION SHOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW.
what a bed i could kick myself for buying it , lumpy hard overpriced rubbish, do not buy, i have terrible back and pains in my arms with this bed, sleeping on floor is more comfortable,
I don't understand all the negative reviews...too hard, too soft...didn't you lay down on it at the store? OMG the 800 series firm (red) was like falling into a 500 pound pillow how can anyone claim it's like laying on cement? My saleman told me almost nobody buys the 800 & 700 because they are too soft & enveloping.
3 nights on the red side of my 400 so far & my back pain & stiffness is getting better. Hope I didn't make a mistake not buying the Stearns & Foster I went there for ?-:
Seen this bed for the first time while shopping for a new mattress. We all have back problems but some are worse than others in the family. The beds in the store are great but it sounds like other stores feel different. Alot of money to spend on a bed but if it is going to benefit us with back issues it is what we want. But after reading all this we are not real sure what we are going to do now. There is a mattress firm but is 50+ miles away but sounds like they have a super refund and trial on the bed. May have to make the drive and check it out. Not many retailers sell this bed around us, only three locations! Still considering it cause the ones that are satisfied aren't then ones looking to write a review cause they are HAPPY!
I wouldn't listen to all these negative reviews. There are alot of disgruntled people on here that I believe are unrealistic in their expectations. I've had my sleep to live 200 series for 7 months and have not one complaint. My husband and I are 110% satisfied! We look forward all day to getting home and into our bed. Best bed we've ever owned hands down!
The new Sleep to Live models now
come in series 10, 8, 6, 4, and 2
replacing the 900, 700,500, 300 and
100 series. When you read these reviews
you see and hear negative comments about
the bulging divider that used to split the the two sides of the bed. Now the
divider has been replace with transistion coils. I believe this was
done to help address some of the negative feedback you read on this site.
Like many comments on this site it is about comfort and proper support. When testing mattresses plan on an hour. Take your shoes off, try it on your back for five minutes without a pillow,
then on your side with a pillow. If you
test for red or blue see how it compares to memory foam, green or gold (used to be tan) look at plush mattresses in other lines. Just some helpful comments to help you find the right mattress for you. Thinking about
a blue sleep to live right now.
I am getting ready to recommend this mattress to my boss and before I did wanted to see what kind of reviews are out there. I was shocked at all of hte negative comments. We have the 800 series red/blue and love it! I don't feel a "bar" in the middle at all like people are saying. The bed is extremely comfortable and I would recommend it to anyone. We have had ours for a year now and have had no issues!
