Recently bought an adjustable bed base.... (just base; used existing queen size mattress)......It has wireless remote with great functions...It's perfect for watching tv at night....I used to strain my neck and toss and turn to view tv.....No more...Love it!! Have u tried one?
Ours is "Beauty Rest"
 
I bought mine with my sleep number bed. Purchased it all at the same time. It was very expensive. I am thinking in the future, I will just buy a base that isn't part of a set. We have used it after surgeries, etc, when we have to spend more time in bed. We also have our heads elevated a bit due to my sinus issues and my husband's sleep apnea. It's convenient to just push a button and set it where we need it to be.
 
Ours is a split king and it is a pain to change the sheets! I like to use the controls to sit up to read in bed from time to time but rarely use it otherwise. Not sure I'd get it again but then as we continue to age one never knows when it will come in handy.
 
I plan to look into these when our mattress needs replacing. I spent some time at the Sleep Number booth at a recent home fair show and love them as I have chronic sinusitis and these would make sleeping so much easier. I like the idea of the split beds, but my first thought was what a pain to change the sheets, but the alternative of both of us having to use the same setting is worse.

Oh well, I have a few more years before our mattress wears out.

We have a split mattress, but I use a King mattress cover and sheets. Since I don't remove the mattress cover very often, it is very easy to change the sheets.

But if you individually adjust your mattresses to different settings, you would pull the bottom king sheet off at the corners, wouldn't you? I suppose that a slight difference wouldn't matter.

That hasn't happened to us. I buy really good sheets and they are probably fitted for pillow top mattresses (which we don't have anymore). Ours are probably oversized. We have never had them come off even with one bed in an upright position and the other side laying flat

I've mentioned before how disappointed I was after finally getting the SN bed I'd wanted for years. My advice would be to get the top of the line mattress -- as cushy as they come. We got mid-range, which sat perfectly fine and felt fine when laying on it in the showroom. Got it home and I was miserable -- waking up at 2AM miserable. Couldn't find a setting that worked, could feel the mechanism under me. So disappointed. Cliff liked it just fine. Solved the problem with a foam pad on my side, and now the bed is lopsided because Cliff didn't want the pad. They would have changed it out for a more expensive bed, but I was terrified we'd spend more (had already spent $5-6K) and I still wouldn't be comfortable. I truly am not a picky bed person so I was totally floored that this was an ordeal for me. Also, I find lifting the head of the bed (didn't buy the foot lifter) hits me wrong in the back if my back is acting up. So half the time it does help if my nose is stuffed up, but other times I'm more comfortable just piling more pillows behind me.
 
Our existing mattress is great..That's why we bought base only...The base adjusts head and legs...It also has a zero gravity function...paid $1000
 
We bought the Tempurpedic mattresses. Years prior I tried my cousin's early model and felt like I was sinking in quicksand and couldn't get out. However, newer models have improved. Hubby and I keep telling one another that we don't really love the mattresses but both of us feel that they have helped our backs a great deal. The base we purchased was by another company, Leggett & Platt.

3 years ago we bought the top of the line I10, cost about 10K. Then we realized we did not like it as it was pillow top and we preferred memory foam. We changed it for M9 (they discontinued M9 since then) and they charged us another couple of hundred dollars more for the swap out. We love the M9. It has the whole shebang - massage etc. We realized we paid too much for it as we do not care for the massage function. At the end of the day, it is the best mattress that we have ever slept on. We also learned that we both have the same sleep number. Recently we thought of buying another Sleep Number bed due to our move, but we could not justify dropping another 6K for a scaled down Sleep Number bed.
