Comfortaire Air Bed - Is it Better Than Sleep Number?

Almost everyone has heard of the Sleep Number (Select Comfort) Bed.

But fewer people, it seems, have heard of Comfortaire.

The Comfortaire bed is just like the Sleep Number bed in many ways. They both use air as the main supporting feature - instead of innersprings, water, memory foam, etc. And they both have adjustable firmness at the push of a button. More air in the mattress means more firmness, and vice versa.

Is Comfortaire better, worse or the same as Sleep Number?

To find this answer, among many others, I recently spent at least 250 hours going through almost 50 online forums, message boards, consumer websites, etc. gathering data from at least 1,600 people on what they think of their mattresses. Below are some of my findings on Sleep Number and Comfortaire.

Which is more comfortable?

Both beds rate highly in regard to comfort compared to other mattresses, according to my research. However, 90% of Comfortaire owners find their bed comfortable, while 70% of Sleep Number owners find their bed comfortable.

Which is more affordable?

Prices for the Sleep Number bed range generally from under $1,000 to nearly $5,000. Prices for Comfortaire beds are usually less, and range from under $1,000 to over $4,000.

Which seems to have better quality?

According to my research, about 8% of both Sleep Number and Comfortaire owners said that they view their bed as being of poor quality. However, 4% of Sleep Number owners said that they think their bed is good quality, while 17% of Comfortaire owners said they think their bed is good quality.

So what's the bottom line?

While the Sleep Number (Select Comfort) bed has many satisfied customers, Comfortaire seems to currently beat Sleep Number in some important ways, according to my research.
