Now, let’s delve into the details of each collection and what they offer:
– Classic Series: The Classic Series from Sleep Number provides dual adjustable firmness for each side, a responsive air layer, and an app equipped with Sleep IQ technology that monitors your sleep quality. This series features the most cost-effective base-level Sleep Number mattresses. The comfort layer varies in thickness from 2-4″.
– Performance Series: The Performance Series includes all the features of the Classic Series but offers enhanced pressure-relieving performance through thicker comfort layers in most cases. The comfort layer thickness ranges from 4-5″.
– Innovation Series: The Innovation Series boasts some of the most expensive mattresses from Sleep Number. This collection offers the same features as the aforementioned collections, along with a temperature-balancing cover for improved cooling performance. The comfort layer thickness ranges from 6-7″.
Take your time to consider these options and find the perfect Sleep Number mattress that fits your needs and budget.
- Memory Foam Collection: The Memory Foam Collection consists of a single mattress that features innovative cooling memory foam. It incorporates all the elements found in the aforementioned collections.
- Cooling Collection: The Cooling Collection offers dual-sided temperature control, allowing users to adjust the heating and cooling settings. This series is the only one from Sleep Number that provides such a high level of temperature adjustability. Apart from memory foam, the Cooling Collection shares the same set of features as the other series mentioned above.
Aside from the features and performance, it is important to consider the price when comparing Sleep Number mattresses to others in the market. In the United States, the average price of a Sleep Number mattress is $3,571 (excluding the base). To put this into perspective, the average price of a Queen-sized mattress in the US is $1,537, based on the average prices of the four most popular types: innerspring, foam, latex, and hybrid.
This comparison demonstrates that Sleep Number Beds are more than twice as expensive as the average mattress across all types.
It is worth noting that the Sleep Number average price includes the extremely expensive Climate360 mattress, which is priced at $10,000 for a Queen-sized mattress. Therefore, it can be said that this particular mattress is in a league of its own in terms of affordability.
Even if we exclude the Climate360 mattress from the average (in order to make a fair comparison), the average price of a Sleep Number mattress still stands at $2,929, which is almost twice the price of any other mattress.
At NapLab, we have extensively tested over 130 mattresses of various types. The price of a mattress is greatly influenced by its type, including factors such as material cost, construction labor, and shipping weight.
The table below provides the average prices for each mattress type, with the “Sample Size” column indicating the number of mattresses tested in each category.
| Mattress Type | Average Price | Sample Size |
|————————|—————|————-|
| Foam | $913 | 14 |

Based on this data, it is clear that every mattress type is less expensive on average than a Sleep Number Bed. If you are looking for a comparable alternative to Sleep Number, we recommend considering the options mentioned above.
An alternative choice would be a mattress that can be flipped. Although not as customizable in terms of firmness, flippable mattresses do provide the option of two different firmness levels, one for each side of the mattress.
Aside from the price factor, is Sleep Number still the top choice for you? Sleep Number offers a trial period of 100 nights, a warranty of 15 years, and a variety of price options. Despite these benefits, they still tend to be pricier than the majority of other mattresses available in the market.
Sleep Number targets individuals who are unsure about the ideal level of firmness for them. Typically, new Sleep Number beds are adjusted to the optimal “number” (or firmness) and rarely require further adjustments.
Instead of opting for a mattress that offers every possible level of firmness, consider determining the ideal firmness for yourself and selecting a mattress that caters to your specific needs.
