We have 10 years on our sleep number so far. We got one without the built in topper. It was FAR cheaper to just buy a topper from Costco. That way you can get the thickness you like and replace it as needed.

I used to sleep on my wife. That was nice. Then she got old and cranky.

Lemme check what brand I’ve been using the last couple years. It can take it a licking and keep on ticking.

Anything of quality that will last is spendy, $2000+ to start. For traditional Sterns & Foster, memory foam, Tempur-Pedic or Tuffy Lux.

Got a sleep number 11 years ago, best money I ever spent. they have been running ads on tv for 50% off. We went to look to get a new one as they came along way since we bought ours, they scared me away with the price. Nothing wrong with the old one, to spend 6 grand on something that I really dont need, be different if the old one took a dump.

How do you roll out of th e big holes in the sleep number. We had one for a few years and threw it out. They told us to blow it up hard and get a thick pad. That’s Schitt. Opinions vary. Ed k

Anything of quality that will last is spendy, $2000+ to start. For traditional Sterns & Foster, memory foam, Tempur-Pedic or Tuffy Lux. Our Tempur Pedic is only 6-7 years old and the only hard spot left is dead center in the king size mattress. We bought it mostly for me , as I need a hard mattress, we got their stiffest one. Wife is starting to hate it now as she sinks in and has a hard time getting out on her side. I've tried turning it sideways, and that helps, but still not good. Maybe I need to look at it in an amortizing way? All that money we spent/2190 nights slept on it. Probably works out to $1 a day or some scheidt. Looking into having a "local" mattress company build one for our next purchase. Couple of them in the Norcal/ Sacramento areas. Geno

I dont know about now, but back in the late 90's Sealy made 5 different quality mattresses. #1 being the cheapest and #5 being the best. We bought a bedroom set and bought the #4 mattress. Wife rotates or flips it about every 3 - 4 months and it's still just as firm as it was from day one. No sags or soft spots. She's kept a cover on it and like RC said, buy the topper separately.

Not sure what you mean by holes.
We've had a king size Sleep Number (2 air bags) for about 12 years.
Kind of surprising how well these 12-year-old bags still hold air. Only need a little top up from the pump every couple of months or if I feel like a change in firmness.

Will say in addition that I will never buy another mattress that has a coil spring in it.

The only foam that I found to be durable is natural Latex. All other foams have developed soft spots within a year, in my experience. Had no luck with memory foam, as that provides little in the way of back support if you need a firm mattress....so a good quality innerspring with Latex top.
