DH and I are looking at Select Comfort or Nautilus air chamber beds. Does anyone here have either? or something similar? We're used to waterbeds, HATE regular mattresses (especially those w/ foam), but need an alternative for a bedroom that may have parents sleeping in it once in a while. (Dad has bad back and can't handle waterbeds of any kind.) We've researched prices, but we also figure that a 20 year warranty is worth the money. (I also like that both companies offer a min. 30 day trial.) Soooooo...do you have one? do you like it? would you recommend it to others?

I sleep on a $10 air mattress from Walmart every nite because I can no longer sleep on a regular mattress due to fibromyalgia.

We've actually considered that! We have a king size aero bed, and wondered if a twin size might just work on a daybed. However...we're also afraid that if it is used too much, it might "rupture"! In addition, DH says air mattress is "cold" because we keep temp down at night...he has to put extra blankets UNDER mattress pad to keep from getting chilled... Maybe an air mattress with a good mattress pad would work!

I've had a Select Comfort bed for two months now and I love it. (I'm a 35) It's well worth the price because I'm sleeping like a baby. In my old bed I tossed and turned all night because my hips would get so sore. Now I barely move all night. I highly recommend this type of bed.}}

teach I concur on the cold... I sleep in an air mattress at camp, and if the temp gets cold I have a special foam insulated pad to put under my sleeping bag on top of the air mattress, its not as comfy, but at least its not freezing!! and springer, that's how i feel about my waterbed!! I hate having to sleep in hotels, or friends regular beds, I'm spoiled!!

My dad got an air mattress for the couch bed. Worst back pain I've ever had after sleeping over one night. That was Thanksgiving. It's still not back 100%. Guess I'm spoiled by our Temperpedic (sic) back home (the Swiss foam). 'squeek'

We finally got our faux-foam, and love it. However, for the previous 6 months, we had been sleeping on a Coleman air mattress we bought at Walmart for $29.XX. We got the one with two air chambers and it helped a lot on minimizing some of the movement.
