The hotel I am staying at has a sleep number bed and I am convinced it got that name because you wake up at random numbers on the clock throughout the night. OK that may not be totally fair because a coworker is staying at this hotel and apparently he slept very well two nights ago. Me -- I woke up right in the middle of my sleep -- so I am probably not a good reference for the bed.
So the important question is what number is the best. I slept at 70 the first night and 40 the second. I think 40 was better. I suppose it takes some time to find the optimal setting. Then again it may not make sense to put a bed like this in a hotel where most people only spend a few nights -- perhaps not long enough to get the setting perfect.
Update:
What a difference a night can make. I spent 15 minutes playing around with the settings on the bed last night and I slept pretty well at around 30. I think perhaps one of the best side effects of the mattress is it doesn't trap heat like most pillow top style mattresses. OK -- enough with the mattress talk -- back to communications.

Sleep number beds must be adjusted properly, Rich. I'm sure the person on the bed before you loved the settings! haha. They actually aren't bad at all once you get used to them. It takes a few nights.
I also think that it takes at least 2 weeks to get used to any new sleep surface.
I've had a sleep number bed for 1 yr and I don't know why I've kept it that long other then then fact I didn't feel like spending another $1500 on a mattress. I was in contact with the Co they sent me a thicker topper and inner foam and still UNCOMFORTABLE so after spending about $1000 more on additional toppers and feather tops I've decided to stop the bleeding and get rid of the worst mattress I've ever owned. My husband is a Marine and has been known to sleep drapped over boulders on fishing trips and he hates the mattress also. He can't get comfortable. Everyone I know hates the mattress so why do people keep buying into a glorified air mattress?
I have suffered with a Sleep Number bed for 6 years.
Here are some of my problems.
• If I make the mistake of sleeping on my stomach, it gives me a horrible back ache.
• It slides around on the foundation. They told me to apply double sided tape
• The sheets and blankets refuse to stay tucked in.
• The air pump unit has failed to hold air and had to be replaced twice.
• The plastic foundation broke in half and had to be replaced.
• The 30 year warranty is a joke. You have to pay a heavily prorated amount.
• They refused to allow me to upgrade, unless I buy a whole new mattress.
If anyone knows of a Class Action Law Suit, let me know.

I am very, very unhappy with the sleep number bed and with the sleep number company. I must have been trying the beds when the subject of not being able to return the adjustable frame if we don't like it. I was outraged when I found out. They charge thousands of dollars for something that if you don't like it you are stuck with it. I thought it was just the fact that it was adjustable, but when I tried to lay flat it still was uncomfortable. The company refused to trade us for a king size so that my husband and I could adjust our own height. I like to sleep on my side, and I feel like my ribs and shoulder are on a hard surface like a floor. Years ago my husband and I had a air mattress from Walmart that was much more comfortable than spending thousands of dollars on this extremely expensive bed. LET THE BUYER BEWARE. IF YOU ARE BUYING A SLEEP NUMBER QUEEN SIZED BED THAT IS ADJUSTABLE AND DON'T LIKE IT. YOU ARE STUCK WITH IT AND STILL HAVE TO PAY. i THINK THE SALESPERSON SHOULD EMPHAZIZE THIS FACT SEVERAL TIMES AND IT SHOULD BE IN BIG LETTERS ON THE PAPER YOU SIGN.
I would say Sleep number beds are designed for anybody who can adjust their own comfort by touch of a button. But the cost of this bed is very high that a normal person can not afford to buy this bed. There are many company out there who sells same quality and more functionality with affordable price.
I've had the Sleep number (expanded queen) for about two yrs now. I received a "can not refuse" deal on it from a friend who works there. The verdict is still out. In order to get comfortable in this bed you need to adjust weekly or bi-weekly. I like 60 some weeks & 35 to 40 on others. Some nights I sleep like a baby & others I feel as if a car ran over me during the night. I can tell you this: Having a great pillow you like is essential. Be careful before purchasing because you will be stuck. Interview as many people as you can to get the right info on a mattress. Also remember that sleeping alone is beautiful & much different than sharing.
