Looking for adjustable Air beds? Check out our review of 4 top Adjustable Air bed brands: • Air bed Review: A comp...
An air adjustable mattress is a great option for couples and people that want the ability to change the firmness on each side of the mattress. An air adjustable mattress has a pump that pushes air into chambers on each side of the bed. We found that airbeds with multiple air chambers on each side provide the best support.
One of the major differences between the Sleep Number and Air-Pedic is the air chambers on each side of the mattress. Sleep Number uses rubber for the construction of their air chambers. The problem with this is, rubber over time, will fissure and crack. Mold was a top complaint with Sleep Number mattresses but they have since started spraying a coating of anti-mold treatment to their chambers which will help in preventing mold to grow overtime. On the other hand Air-Pedic uses 100% Medical Grade, urethane for their air chambers. This makes it inherently dust mite and mold resistant....

Hey just a quick thought.... you can add subtitles to the video so you don't need to add sign language. Probably a bit more beneficial for both SEO and the vast majority of people since you've now given UA-cam much more information about what is in your video by inputting everything you say.
Think the review was one sided. I have had my Sleep Number Queen Size ILE for years now. I have severe back and shoulder problems. This bed has given me the best relief I have found in a bed. The only complaint I have is I got the flex 2 but, wanted to add the foot warmer. Was told you cannot add it you have to order the flex 3, that is the only difference between the flex 2 and 3. I just ordered a large back warmer and laid it out at the foot of my bed and it works great!
Thanks for this, not only did I appreciate the info on the beds as I'm just about to order an iLE (on sale 50% off) but it was nice to (try to) brush up on my ASL. Was fluent in college 20 years ago as a roommate's girlfriend was deaf. Really miss sign, one of the coolest things I've ever done was go to a deaf party. As one of only two hearing there it was very cool (I think you know what I mean!)
Thank you so much for your kind words. ASL is such a beautiful language and only wish all videos would include it.
The center foam has been a problem in the past, I prefer not having it with the airbeds unlimited bed. Which I've had 7 years now, other than the motor recently going bad, it's been great. And yes, I bought a new motor, prorated price was under $400, cheaper than another bed.
Great video. Is there anything overall the airpedic doesn't do better?
Better is always personal preference. In our opinion, out of the air adjustable mattresses we tested, Airpedic was the superior model. Sleep Number does offer sleep tracking and auto adjusting, which we felt was not always consistent/accurate.
Well what can I say for all the rigmarole settings apps and nonsense that goes along with these beds maybe I think I’ll just buy myself a nice bed with springs
Jason sounds like the Princess and the Pea! Looking for perfection.
Thanks for watching Dean! Purchasing a mattress can be a huge investment. We try to do the homework for the consumer and give insight where we can.
Hello. I’m looking at the 850 model. The same one your reviewing. I went to there site but very few reviews are about the bed itself. Most are about the customer service. Can you as a consumer please give me your Pros & Cons about the bed? Is the hard, medium are soft. Anything you would change about the bed? Thank you...
randy smith thanks for reaching out! Air-Pedic offers dual adjustability which uses a three chamber system which eliminates mid section sagging, you also have the option of an airflow transfer system which allows for a more comfortable temperature through out the night. If you are looking predominantly for sleep tracking or automatic adjustments through out the night it unfortunately doesn’t support this at this time. That being said we really appreciated the straight forward control and it has one of the most luxurious plush foams we have had the pleasure of sleeping on! The bed is adjustable so it can be soft to firm depending on how much air you allow into the air bladders, this is one of the great features of owning an Air-Pedic! As always for the full run down with all the information please check out our website, aslreviews.com, thanks!
Very helpful. Just wished for basic pricing info
Hi Julie, thanks for watching! We typically mention pricing in our reviews, however if we missed it, we apologize. The pricing information should also be on our website, ASLreviews.com.
Pricing can vary, ILE was 50% off recently but I think that sale ended
Hello If you were buying an air bed, would you prefer air pedic or personal comfort. I have narrowed it down to those two. Do you have a better suggestion on an air bed. Thank you so much.
Hi Karen! Unfortunately, we haven't had a chance to review the Personal Comfort air beds. We are, however, very familiar with Air-Pedic. Having reviewed a number of adjustable air mattresses we've definitely seen that air beds with more than one chamber perform better than those with a single chamber on either side of the bed. This allows you to better target the pressure relief you need most, where you need it most. We also felt that having a single air chamber creates a bit of a hammock effect. Air-Pedic models are made with 3 chambers on either side which eliminated this problem for us. Hope this helps! Please drop us a comment on which bed you choose and let us know how you're liking it. Thanks!
Hey Karen, just curious which option you decided to go with. I am also between Air-Pedic and Personal Comfort. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
@@sparkyap21 which one did you buy ?
I appreciate the review. However I own the sleep number I8 and have been a customer since 2005. I notice that although your comments are somewhat true of what appears to be missing from the sleep number i8 it has been improved which is why you don't see all the parts that use to be in the older models. The new I8 offers much more and better support throughout the whole bed as well as the middle so you will get even support. The Air Pedic appears to be using Select Comforts i.e.,, Sleep Numbers old technology. Also all sleep number smart beds are not self installed they are delivered and installed for the customer. As for the warranty sleep number makes such quality beds they noticed there was no need for a 25 year warranty anymore, people simply where not using their warranty past 15 years if at all. I also disagree with the comment about laying on a bed in the store will not tell you if the bed is good for you or not. if you spend 15 minutes laying on a a sleep number and pay attention to how your body responds you will know if it is the right fit, just like you would when you walk into a house your going to buy for the first time.; you know if it feels like home or not. Sleep Number also makes their beds in the USA out side of the zippers. Sleep Number will also work with you, if you find that the bed is not a good fit during your 100 day trial, the customer service is amazing. Which is why I have stayed with Sleep Number for over 16 years! Oh and let me ad there is no nose at all coming from the air pump when you adjust your bed. Lastly the smart technology of Sleep number reads your body while sleeping so if you move and it notices your number needs to adjust, it adjusts automatically all while you are sleep so you get a comfortable sleep the whole night and wake up refreshed. Love A Long Term Sleep Number Owner :)
We can definitely tell that you like your sleep number. Glad to hear it. We definitely stand by our review and everything we found from sleeping on many of their models from the new line up, as well as our comparison with Airpedic. Also, Airpedic does use the new technologies that sleep number utilizes, (ie the app that controls the bed). Thank you for your opinions and for watching our review 😊
I've also had my sleep number bed for over 7 years and wholeheartedly agree with your reply. Well done, I love my Sleep Number bed and I am a little skeptical of this review it's almost as if they are a little biased. Maybe they're getting a kick back from Air Pedic. Is this link on the Air Pedic website? That would tell the tale if indeed it is.
@@Azianbrutha Agree kick back for sure even thought Select A Bed says they have no reason to do that. I actually called but this for sure seems bias. Per a reviewer on Select A Bed reviews a.k.a Air Pedic, they said this bed was a piece of garbage and sent it back.
@@Azianbrutha biased? lol Sleep number beds are by far the worst you can get. They are made like shit in china.
and sleep number offers a shit warranty because they were sued big time in a class action lawsuit because they refused to honor the warranty. Goes to show from the founder that was convicted for fraud and a slew of other charges. lol. Great company.
Ok, so I called select-a-bed and asked if I could use the sleep number's flex 2 base I have with their mattress. I saw that the air-pedic 850 is 50% off and the optional cooling layer is as well. I've been satisfied the my 14 year old sleep number 5000 but the materials and 6 chambers of the air-pedic have convinced me to give them a try. I really hope it works with my base like there they told me it would.
We were actually using the FF2 base in our review with the Air-Pedic, so you should be fine 👍
Travis I would love to hear your thoughts of how you like the Air-Pedic compared to your old Seep number 5000?
@@radianceunveiled I love my air-pedic 850 bed. It did a little higher than the sleep number 5000 did. The multi air chambers are definitely better. I can increase the middle area more than the head/feet so don't sink in the middle as much like I did with the sleep number. Set up was a breeze. I convinced my brother to get one too. He was replacing a very old Tempur-pedic. He got the adjustable base with his air-pedic and loves it. I didn't mind my sleep number, but this mattress is definitely better, imo.
@@traviswhitworth6506 thanks for you reply! I am glad you are enjoying your Air-Pedic. Its all about getting the best sleep right. :) The 850 it more like the Sleep number i8. i have never experienced sinking in the middle even when i had my 5000 that is interesting. Enjoy your Air-Pedic and Happy Sleeping :)
@@radianceunveiled the middle sinks like a rock in a lake. Its horrible.
Do you need to purchase their bed frame for either one or can i just save money and use the one i have? thanks
Hi Domingo, For any of the air beds we’ve tested, you can use any bed frame. Most of the companies recommend a flat surface, so slats are not advised.
@@ASLReviews yet you reviewed both beds on slatted bases?? No air bed company I know of recommends anything BUT a firm flat-surfaced base/box spring. You can't get an accurate air pressure reading with slats.
As another comment mentioned, this whole video sounds like an Air-Pedic commercial. The more I watch the video the more it's obvious.....
"The Sleep Number has... but it could be a problem..."
"The Air-Pedic has a great.... "
"The Air-Pedic obviously....."
Just tell us it's a commercial, not a fake "review".
@@MrRustyB100
My wife likes a very firm bed. I tried a Sleep Number C2 or C4 and at a 100 SN which is like a brick. She would be OK with that. Can any of these beds get to that level of firmness? If so, I am sold. I can sleep on a ILE/I8 and be fine. Can Air-Pedic or Rest match these levels of firmness?
Thanks
Hi Paul, thanks for watching! Yes, I would recommend the Air-Pedic 500 or 600, which would be firmer , or the 850, which is a bit softer but gives a buoyant feel. Air-Pedic will also work with you if you decide the foam needs to be altered. Air-Pedic gives the additional lumbar support, which you don’t get with sleep number.
I returned my Air Pedic 850 because it sucked and got the sleep number iLe flexfit 2 SPLIT KING and slept cooler and much more comfortable. I should have listened to my orthopedic surgeon in the first place.
Hi TCB, oh ok wow that’s the first time I’ve ever heard of that. Air-Pedic uses a separate lumbar chamber and is much more supportive for your spine. But if your spine likes the one air chamber better thats great 👍 thanks for watching!
@@ASLReviews I doubt it's the first time. Come on now ASL.. so stupid
@@Azianbrutha the guy is a liar. Hes just mad he got ripped for for a shitty sleep number. lol
Looking to replace our mattress only and use our own adjustable base... is this possible with your #800, #850 models?
Hi Tana! The Air-Pedic 800 and 850 models both support a wide variety of bases. However, it is not recommended in combination with bed frames containing slats farther than 2” apart. If you already own an adjustable base this is likely not a problem you have to worry about!
@@ASLReviews does the airpedic mattress work with sleep numbers flex 2 base?
I’m looking between a Air Pedic, iSense and Personal Comfort…
Hi Michael! Unfortunately, we have yet to test or review the iSense and Personal Comfort, however, we will try to look into taking these on in the near future, thanks!
IF you don't need a tri-zone, airbeds unlimited have better pricing. I've had a series 5 for 7 years now, other than the motor going bad just recently, it's been great. I bought a new motor, $400 after pro-rated price for the new motor is cheaper than another bed.
Wow ... Air-Pedic 850 is on sale now 50% off (Sept 15, 2020) at $2500 vs Sleep Number I8/ILE for $5100. Plus the Air-Pedic 850 appears to be so much better in qualities and materials. Too me the Sleep Number I8/ILE material looks very cheap ...
I thought the airpedic material looked cheap, especially the foam.
@@stefaniezucco1036 if that how you feel, then get it but, I advise you to do the research. They use tricks in the showroom and thereby not being honest ... which I have investigated. I have not so much concerning the Air Pedic. I just decided to put a new mattress on hold and save up for something non-toxic ... etc.
@@stefaniezucco1036 lol the sleep number has almost no foam. Air pedic materials are the best you can buy.
@@Executiveinvestments- I have to disagree my ILE sleep number has plenty of foam. Love it!
I take it you work for them?
How does air pedic compare to Saatva..
Hi, if you are referring to the Saatva air, we haven’t reviewed that yet. However, I am under the impression that they only use one air chamber, like sleep number. Airpedic uses three chambers on either side of the bed. This is to better support your lumbar. Thanks for watching!
@@ASLReviews we ended up buying the air pedic 3 months ago lol.. when I commented (wink)
@@classiccorvetteguide9147 how are liking your Air-pedic mattress? Any cons?
@@Cristo12344 to be honest - I absolutely love it. The remote for each side looks retro but is highly responsive and blue light which is soft on eyes. It's completely restored my back. Most people will like air Pedic 800...any less is maybe too low comfort.
If you weight alot need to have more support to help with the comfort. I8 is not good for someone that weights alot.
Yes, in my opinion I agree with you. The foam on the i8 is already on the softer side, so if you need more support, especially in different zones, I would recommend ReST. Thanks for watching!
loose the weight then, fat people suck
You'll hear a "satisfying click." Puzzled. Isn't this American Sign Language reviews?
Hi, Kevin! Our intent is to provide the hearing and deaf community with quality content in their native language. We do this by having ASL interpreting collaboratively with the spoken review. Our reviews include content relative to both communities. Thanks for watching!
🤣😂
Sleep Number has the worst customer service that I have ever seen! Even under full warranty they expect the customer to diagnose and fix the problem. I bought it because my wife and I are elderly with bad backs and the person on the phone has me trying to move the bed around and lift the mattress while pulling off hoses and plugging outlets to see what is leaking. When I demand that they get someone to come fix it there is a $107 charge. As I said it is still under the 24 month full coverage.
That’s no good. Did they ever come out?
@@ASLReviews Still waiting, they couldn't schedule for ten days.
Am I the only person that doesn’t want their bed connected to the internet?
This isn’t a review or a comparison it’s a sad commercial for the air pedic and a horrible attempt to bash on sleep number! That Jason guy is shameful for acting like he knows anything about sleep number! Air pedic sounds like trash if in order to try and sell it you have to lie about another product so poorly!
This review is so incredibly biased it’s comical!
You realize that any review is someone's opinion - and therefore by definition is biased, right? UGH.
It doesn't help their argue for non-bias when this review is literally posted prominently as marketing material on the air-pedic website.
@@halblow448 Hahaha right!?
biased because the sleep number is shit? lol
@@halblow448 thats a lie. But keep being mad.
Had to stop watching once I realized the annoying finger clicking was going to continue through the whole video.
Crooks and cheaters. One sided review just to
get clients on the popularity of Sleep Number
brand. Such an unethical move from Air Pedic.
also noticed same unethical moves from
Personal Comfort
Pretty harsh words. You can't really fault a review that says they feel another air mattress company (Air-Pedic) has developed a better adjustable air mattress. The better side support of the Air-Pedic and the ability to independently adjust the middle chamber for the heavier part of your body are better selling points in my opinion. If you own a business or affiliated with a business, your job is to market the product and highlight why the product is superior. No harm in that and most people actually appreciate a comparison where one product comes out on top.
