We had a king for three years. We could never get comfortable with it. Gave to my sister and they love it. So for us it's 50/50. Some love it, some hate it. There doesn't seem to be a middle ground. Good luck.

Some love it, some hate it. That's true. I've slept on them several times, always hated it. I was talking to a buddy about them today, he hates them too. It doesn't seem like there's any in between, you either love them or hate them.

Had one about 10 yrs ago - loved it for the first two years then the foam in the middle that separated the two mattresses gave out and it was like sleeping in a big hole. Replaced the foam in the middle and I could never get close to the wife, it made both of us roll away from each other. Tried cutting a little of the foam away to lessen the height and we were back in a hole. Ended up trying to stuff towels down the middle to even things out and they just balled up causing lumps. Gave it to my son in law cuz I was pissed at him, then he got pissed at me for pawning if off on him and he had to take it to the dump. Would I buy another - HELL NO! Biggest waste of $4500 I ever spent.

If it leaks down you just file a warrant claim and have them fix it.

Have had a queen for over 10 years, wife wanted it, I said OK.
They are 2 beds with the foam like another poster mentioned. Sleeping in the middle doesn't work well. Plus she is a 45 and I'm a 95, so there is a significant difference between the halves.
Also, it's not that good for no sleep activities. Hands and knees sink deep, takes a little adapting when you aren't so young and spry
When we travel now, we rarely get a bed that measures up. Some are pretty good, none are as good as ours.
I did have to get a bladder and replace some foam , not a real big deal.
Glad we bought it, when it's shot another will replace it.

I’m just skeered chitless that whatever my wife peruses on the Internet they’re talking about $4500 mattresses.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

If it leaks down you just file a warrant claim and have them fix it. That depends on how old it is; mine was nearing warranty expiration, they said they would prorate the remaining time toward purchase of a new one. No Thanks.

My brother and his wife got one probably about 10 yrs ago. They used it for maybe 2-3 months.....then gave it away.

Ours is about 11 or 12 years old. We need to replace the foam around the edges but the air bags are in great shape. They don't break down. If they sag, just add more air. If you think you want the memory foam on top, take a look at a plain bed and buy the foam at Costco. It'll save you a bundle. Also, the foundation is just a plastic box. For a fraction of the money, you can make your own. I made ours in 2 pieces so it's easier to move. Of course with the price of plywood these days, the plastic one might be cheaper. Someone mentioned that they're cold. A foam topper takes care of that. We put a 2" one on ours. It's plenty of insulation and not so thick that you sink in.

4000 dollar piece of Schitt. Sleeper in holes in about a year. Warranty was to blow it up hard and put a pad on it. Damn I know I’m 210 pounds but I’m 6 foot 1 so I didn’t think it should go to crap that quick. Edk

You want pros and cons..........Easiest way to do this is list the cons. . . . . . . . . . . . Can't think of any.

We have a Kalifornia King, with the elevating head mattress. We ain’t impressed! We experimented with many pressure adjustments, and couldn’t make comfortable. We added the mattress pad, expensive for the split, elevating type mattress, and did help a little with comfort. If you get the adjustable, elevating head type bed.....the split sheets are very expensive. We have serious buyers regret!
We keep our bedroom in the upper 50’s for temperature, and never found the bed to be cold. No different than any other bed! memtb Are you a vampire?

We love ours. We even have one in the guest room and everyone who visits loves it also. We had one cell develop a leak and they replaced it without a quibble and paid the return shipping on the bad one. Ours is a queen size, not a split but with the adjustable base. Love that, too.
They recommend that once a month you pump it up to 100% for an hour. That readjusts the topper to fit properly in case it shifts due to your sleep movements. We do and it does seem to "reset" things. Have never had to replace any of the foam or anything in the pump.

I still sleep on the floor, not sure why my wife left.

I honestly wouldnt want to sleep without it now. They are so comfortable. I cant think of a con short of they are expensive. Wait for the in store sales. You can save a ton of money
