    Ohh long time owner.

    Do you like it and have you had any problems with it?

    Our current coil spring mattress came with the wife and I have been married 17 years. :anonymous:

    I like the memory foam, pillow top that mine doesn't have, but mine is good with a memory foam mattress topper on it. I like the newer fancier one's better :eek:. I've had no problems. My sis has one and her pump went out after several years, but she got a replacement.

    Sounds like time to replace it.

    Thanks for the info Susan. I talked to the wife about the Sleep number at dinner tonight and she did not say no. I laid it all out for her including the pricing.

    The pricing is not too bad compared to other top coil spring mattresses.

    I have a decent quote for the CSE with the Flex Fit frame and a memory foam topper.

    http://www.sleepnumber.com/eng/products/sleep-number-beds/classic-series/cse/cse?cse

    Current offer is $500 off on the CSE. The memory foam was to die for but cost almost $1300 more. This is a pretty decent set up. I really liked the Flex Fit frame.

    I was out shopping for new beds yeaterday. The Tempurpedic was nice but really pricy. I just felt more comfortable in the Sleep Number.

    Evening all:
    I can't seem to get more than 10 yrs out of a mattress before they lose their firmness, and I don't buy cheap ones. As a matter of fact I'm due for a new one. Last one was XXfirm!

    I know Carl. And decent ones are really expensive. I tried a lot of the coil spring beds but the Sleep Number was just a lot more comfortable with a lot of support for my spine.

    You owe it to yourself to check them out. I told the wife she needs to go in and try the Sleep Number. I will take her there. ;)

    Get something you will be comfortable on.... One thing about the sleep number, is you can both adjust your own side.

    Yup. My Sleep Number was 65. :anonymous:

    Gots to get some sleep now. Had a really bad cheat day dinner. Need to do an hour on the tredmill tomorrow.

    On a really positive not, I helped the Student Council at my son's school paint clouds on a blue border in the Library. The kids did all the work I provided the paint, sponges, brushes, cheese cloth and anything else. They knocked it out in 2 hours while doing a bang up job. The students were in 4th through 8th grade.

    The Librarian and the Principal loved the work.

    afternoon all:
    Strange about the talk on mattresses. I could sleep very well, and was comfortable, on the 3" horsehair mattress, or whatever was inside it, that was on top of the metal racks while in the navy.
    I don't think there's anything like that available at any mattress store though. Maby too cheap, and not enough profit!

    Nope. No need to go into the mad house of DC today.

    I do have a few errands to run today and my lower back is in some pain. Started to act up yesterday and just kept getting worse.

    Feels better after a half hour of streaching and now on to a warm shower. ;)

    Afternoon all:
    Seems like there's some truth in that! :(
    Just got back from a clock repair shop. Took my old coo-coo clock off the wall to clean, and when I put it back up it wouldn't run. ??????
    Two months wait, and "ONLY" $225.00 to clean and get it back in working order! :facepalm:
    Same guy got it working 25 yrs. ago, so hopefully it will go for another 25 yrs. before it has to be gone over again.
    Don't think either he or I will be around by then!:rolleyes:
