HOW TO ask medical questions
Pete Bills (the "expert" in this video) works for Select Comfort/Sleep Number. I know this because I worked with him for years. I can't believe that they didn't mention that he is an EMPLOYEE of the company that makes the bed that he is promoting. He also does their infomercials and is a regular guest on QVC when they are selling the Sleep Number beds.
I figured this much and what he didn’t mention is that when you lower the pressure in the bed it causes a hammock effect allowing your hips to sink further in bringing your spine out of alignment which will cause more back pain!
Yeah once he used the sleep number "tool" to measure, the jig was up. VERY disappointing to see this show be used as an infomercial! 😡
I stopped watching this show ages ago, when I realized it was primarily a marketing tool for selling stuff & ideas...vs an objective information source, as it's touted.
I just bought a TemperPedic hybrid medium firm. Before, on my previous bed I had terrible back, hip,neck, and shoulder pain. TemperPedic bed is a dream. After you break it in for a couple of weeks it totally supports those pressure points and.conforms to your body. Their materials were originally made for astronauts for support and comfort. All I can say is I have no more pain and I get a peaceful pain free night's sleep and have more energy all day. Best money I ever spent on a mattress!
What am I supposed to learn from a guy comparing a sleep number to a mattress that was found on the side of the road? Not to mention he works for the company he's promoting
I agree I got in the video about 1 min and noticed the giant sleep number logo behind him! useless!
Dominican7Chick he works for sleep association and sleep medicine assoc as a researcher. Of course he works for company because every company has to hire researchers for testing phases. If you look him up you can see the medical journals showing his studies. And it doesn’t matter where her mattress was from that’s not the point. The point was showing her body’s pressure points on whatever the mattress was and what it could be like when you find one that’s right for you. Showing different affects on pain, sleep, pressure, tossing and turning, support. They gave her a sleep number. He didn’t hawk the mattress brand or say people should buy it. He said “With ANY MATTRESS when buying lay on it for 15 min. Don’t just touch and buy” etc. I think you maybe missed the take away of this ...the point behind it. Since you only focused on the brand and that he does research for them in testing phases.
furioushazaa read my other comment below. Of course it’ll show sleep number as that’s the bed they gave her. Very valuable info on sleep and buying ANY MATTRESS is shared. As they say multiple times about buying any mattress brand. This is info on sleep medicine assoc and mult other associations of physicians show these studies in tons of published medical journals and articles. The science is the same on sleep brand doesn’t matter. Every type of sleeper needs a certain type of mattress and support. Like side sleepers need a softer mattress usually to not cause pressure points to compress like hips, knees, shoulders...but also need spine alignment either from an air pressure mattress or springs not just memory foam. But back sleepers need a firm mattress usually of memory foam. Sleep affects everything in our health and lack of it can cause severe disturbances in vital hormones even leading to adrenal diseases and death. I know I have mult diseases that sleep or lack of can literally send me into crisis and I can die if not treated. You probably have missed out on a lot of important info on tons of shows if ya stopped watching just cause a brand was shown. That’s like not watching a cooking show cause they show Tyson for brand of chicken used. Or not watching football cause of ads and commercials. They had to show brand because that company gave her a free bed. But they said rules for any mattress.
2 Time BrainSurg Survivor/RareDisease Fighter- Sorry, but I do not know where you looked him up... He is NOT a "consultant" for Sleep Number - He is the VP! AND has worked for them for 24 years...His LinkedIn page mentions this BUT NOTHING about his affiliations with EITHER the American Academy of Sleep Medicine NOR the National Sleep Foundation...which would be listed there is he was being honest about it.

I bought a bottom-of-the-line Sleep Number bed over ten years ago. It has a remote control but no numbers, and yes, it was from a Sleep Number store. I put all of it together myself, no problem. For a few years, I loved it. Over time, it became more and more difficult as it would lose air too quickly. Now, it's unbearable, having to fill it every few minutes, waking up on the hardness of my bed frame's slats, etc. It has a 25 year warranty, so I got in touch with their customer service. All they do it try to tell you how to troubleshoot it yourself to figure out why it's losing air. The video was no help. Even if I do all this testing, I know I'll end up with the same problem again; it's not worth it. I did look at the hose connection more than once and it didn't look quite like what's in the video, plus, I don't have the "caps." From what I can see and feel, I can tell that there's no way I'd be able to diagnose it well enough nor fix it forever even with new rubber rings or whatever. I called the Sleep Number store asking if I could bring it in so they could look at the problem and he said, "There are no technicians here." Also, they're out of caps. So, Sleep Number expects its customers to be their own technicians. Also, because of the hose, another drawback of this bed is that you can't use a mattress encasement. Until I decide what non-Sleep Number bed I'll buy, I'm sleeping on my air bed that I'd bought for travel. Much cheaper, feels similar and fills with air MUCH quicker, but I can't and won't sleep on a bed meant for overnights forever.
My brother & his wife had a sleep number bed, but didn't keep it cuz they didn't like it.
Thank you, was already iffy definitely ruling out sleep number.
One long commercial for sleep number. That's all this is.
Joe Shmoe lol
.ya think
Or, SleepLiketheDead.
I didn't get paid by the lobby of mattress, i just hate ignorance. Sleeping well is very important and affects you in many way.
I don't say that because i heard it, i say because i experienced it. I can't sleep on a hard mattress at all. ( Not even on a expensive one).
So the quality and the firmness is very very important.
The comment got deleted. Anyway i was talking about why are Americans so ignorant and think everything is a commercial.
Even if it is, he is right about the mattress. I have slept one bad ones and is a hell.
So sleeping on the good one is very important, but not many know that.
I live in Europe so i don't care about any American brend ecc..., I just think is important that people should spread information.
We've own a Select Comfort bed for over 15 yrs and it's the absolute BEST. I've had disc trouble for over 27 yrs and any other mattress didn't hold up, gave me terrible pressure point issues to deal with. Actually I had to begin pain injections to reduce pain on top of Vicodin. My sleep needed to help me get through my day working, with kids, sports, etc. I highly suggest the Select Comfort.
So much for unbiased information.
I ended up getting an olee memory foam mattress, 10 inch. king size mattress 250 bucks free shipping and handling. bought it on Amazon couldn't be any happier.
The sleep number bed's biggest problem is you fall into the center a lot..the individual sections are a good idea in concept but in reality are too small and create a beach ball effect if over inflated ..I had sleep number and a good spring mattress with pillow-top can be just as good or better.
Also an air bed can fluctuate sometimes in pressure and a consistent mattress firmness is essential to good sleep.
I'm still none the wiser; I sleep on my side, but my lower back hurts because my mattress is quite soft...so I think I need a firmer one. I guess the best thing to do is try out lots of options 🤔
DIETRICHCICCONE what did u get bro
I am so thankful for mine as are my 10 friends and family that have bought them based on my recommendation! Luck really has nothing to do with it!
This is exactly the problem I had with my mattress several years ago. It was too hard and was hurting my hip. So I bought a sheet of Memory Foam, 2 inches thick, put it on top of the mattress and there was no more problem :)
So this was a an add for Select Comfort Sleep Number beds... They didn't compare to other options. This shouldn't have been titled "Finding the Perfect Mattress", but "Finding the Perfect Number, because we've already determined, on your behalf, that Sleep Number is the Perfect Mattress"
Okay maybe my title is a bit long... but at least it isn't misleading.
Not to mention that Pete Bils slipped and revealed that he's "been doing research" for Select Comfort, which even that description isn't the full truth as he is actually the Vice President for Select Comfort.
Agree!!
THANKK YOU for this video!
Pete Bils is listed as a Vice President at Select Comfort! While I like my own (not Sleep Number) air bed, just having him represent his own product while showing him as being independent, is really sleazy of the producers of the show. The medical professionals should have mentioned he is a VP at Select Comfort.
zad1262 thank you for letting us know this info!! My husband and I where going to get one but since seeing this IT MAKES ME SICK!! Shame on the producers for not mentioning this. How convenient of them. I’ll get anything but a sleep number just because they’re sleazy n sneaky. Just tells me they have more to hide.
This show must of been highly paid by this a company.
I'm partial to the Cloud Luxe from Tempur although it's beyond the budget of most consumers. Simmons has just brought out some new beds under the Comforpedic name that are very nice as well and considerably less expensive than the comparative Tempur-pedic.
Thanks for the Sleep Number infomercial
I managed a Sleep Number store for 3 years. Everyone of my friends including myself no longer sleep on empur-pedic on an adjustable base that I love. But it isn't the right one for everybody. Go to a store where you have several brands and aren't being sold the most expensive mattress unless you are being told about the others as well.
i personally love the tempurpedic! First time I slept on it, was the first time i ever woke up not feeling achey or crampy. It was great!!! I can;t wait to buy one for myself.
renowed for heat retention.
I'm one of these silly buggers who are "sensitive". Over the years the best thing I found was an all natural traditional Japanese futon is the way to go. Sure they're firmer but you can get one with a foam core to soften it up a bit. But when I get my own place (one day) it'll be a futon on which to sleep.
Futons seem to work the best for a large percentage of the population AND they are cheaper. Good to give them try. I've spent thousands looking for a good mattress. Even bought a $3000 one which started sagging after 4 months. I would have returned it, but I bought it from my fiancee's salesman son ;(
Anyway, my $200 futon was much better & later got a nice king memory foam for $300 from Woot & it has been great! In my experience, price has meant _nothing_
I have had a Sleep Number bed for years and it is the BEST nights sleep that I have ever gotten. I think it is funny that you are all saying how bad it is but it is actually AWESOME!!!!!
Trudi Barnes you got lucky then
What's your sleep # I will call you and we can talk about it?
Trudi Barnes
Understandable.
I have the "Purple" bed, and I love it. It may not be for everybody, but no bed is. Every person is different, so a bed that may be crap for one person may be the best thing in the world to another. I think what most people like myself are upset about is that the bed was reviewed by the Vice President of the company, so obviously there is a biased oppinion. The show is a total Sell Out. If they are going to do a comparison on beds for one they shouldn't compare it to a bed picked up off the street, and two the people doing the comparison should not work for the company, besides be the company VP.
Just saying. :-)
Really? Why is it the BEST SLEEP EVER OMFG??!! I smell bs, someone in cahoots with the company I'd bet.
We have got to try it. 10 years of sleepless nights from the mattress we bought. Uder complete nightmare stacked with extreme pain.
How can you phisically adjust the pressure, when in facts it's caused by your weight and gravitation?
11 years later, matress stores barely exist and due to a viral outbreak I'm online looking for a way to buy a matress because it's currently illegal to and try in store, do when you say go and try one out, I say, if I could do that I wouldn't be here!
This guy is no sleep expert - he's a salesman for Sleep Number!! What a crock. I have owned a Sleepnumber bed and I will NEVER own another one. They are overpriced, highly overrated and a royal pain in the butt; to put together, to adjust, and to get comfortable on. I'm not surprised at the "doctors" using the show as a stage for Sleepnumber as I'm sure they paid them well for this dog and pony show. Sheesh, what a crock! Thanks Doctors, for your great "AD"vice. 😝
Deb Marshall Of course they were paid well. Otherwise, they would have offered several choices and not just select comfort.
+Deb Marshall Welcome to television.
+Deb Marshall I agree I also owned a sleep by number that I paid $3000 for and it's total garbage.
It only would last a few years and I would have to rebuy equipment.
Docwiz2
I think my next mattress will come from kiss mattress, helix sleep, brooklyn bedding, or ghost sleep. I'm leaning toward helix or kiss. Check out www.themattressunderground.com/
Their forum is the best for finding your next mattress.
I agree this is bs!
I'll definetly not get a air or water mattres, I've been researching matresses for a week now, and seeing all kinds of things about matresses, and the conclusion I got to is that the best matress is either latex or memory foam, and not too thin, it's gotta be pretty thick, I think I'll get the memory foam... but still thinking about, it, matresses are very important to me, I spend quite allot of time in my bed at my PC coz I don't like chairs
I am surprised they only talk about pressure points and effect. There is no mention of spine alignment? It is possible to get very low pressure point by having soft layers. But the alignment will be wreck.
He mentioned surface area, weight distribution, is not pressure/area = force = gravity? But those guys are really good in sale, he adjust his voice to sound like one of my co-worker.
DON'T BUY A SLEEP NUMBER BED!!! I've had one for just over a year and now I've got back problems that I've never had before. You can see why in this video. When the bed is "adjusted" to this lady's number (35) take a close look at her head and shoulder position (4:54)....her head is angled up and is not in alignment with her shoulders and back. There may be no pressure points but that just means there is no support for her spine. Our spines aren't meant to bend like they do in this bed. WORST BED I'VE EVER HAD!!!! LITERALLY!!!!!
agree! I have back problems and I'm a side sleeper and I have had a mattress that was soft for a while with no pressure except for now I have really bad back problems because of no support. my neck and mid back are in real trouble. sleep number beds are just blow up mattresses.
Susan M I agree with you on that. I was watching her face, and the dark blue in the areas that were ALREADY not supported. She looked all kinked up, and her facial expression looked like "GET ME THE FUCK OFF/OUT OF THIS HOLE/BED!!"
How can they say that the pressure points going lower made it more comfortable when obviously her head, and legs were 6-8 inches above her ass? That wasn't an aligned Spine. That show is such a Sell Out.
Thanks for your response, and honesty.
Susan M I
victor rodriguez that's so true and also I'm a side sleeper too and I NEED a firm mattress so I have no idea what this idiot is talking about if I had a soft mattress my back would go out!
The mattress is nice. I won't go into details other than to say that two weeks after the promised delivery date, Customer Service wanted to deliver the mattress "sometime between 6pm and 10pm." Since I found that unacceptable, Customer Service adopted an adversarial attitude and we canceled the order. That part was easy. The rest of It was the most stressful interaction I ever had with any company. This mattress has electronics and moving parts (the pump). Stuff like that fails even in the best products. That's when you need Customer Service to have your back. I would never get any good sleep thinking about needing Sleep Number Customer Service to have my back.
I have owned Mattress Plants ,developed many Sleep products and have been in the Industry for 36 years. I own a Mattress Store and Distribution now and I have people every week complaining about Sleep Number beds but many have spent so much money they keep them too long they say.
My dumpster always have a stack of them laying in and out front of where customers decide to have us carry them away when they buy a new Serta or Simmons Mattress.
Think people! air nor water supports weight.
I wish they had that pressure mapping computer in the stores.
dr: i have pain in my back from long time ago.some months i have bad pain in left leg every night when i go to sleep never can sleep maybe 2 hours sleeping.this mattress hamuq brand and 781 pocet coil.but i guess this mattress is soft.i dont know what mattress is good for me . soft or firm.
AND I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO GOT THEIR MATTRESS FROM OUT ON THE CURB. MY FAITH IN HUMANITY HAS BEEN RESTORED. THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH LINDSAY ! XOXOXOXO
TRICK-OR TREAT that’s fucking gross
Definitely advertisement for sleep number but the guy gave some good tips.
The best mattress is the Tempurpedic Raphsody or Breeze, but they are expensive.
From old school from my dad to his dad and I get little experience from. Friends and what I listen from people always try sleep on extra firm mattess long time ago ppl when had back pain sleeping at floor with out mattress i hear 45 years ago ppl take out the 🚪 and use it like mattress , 15 years ago i was in morraco i bought mattress for 60 dollars i think from India with double face winter and summer top was very firm and never i had problems pain but when I buy more comfortable mattress I get back pain
Can you recommend a mattress like the one you're suggesting (soft enough to sink into)?
Went to a Sleep Number store today. Was completely underwhelmed. Outrages prices and mediocre feel.
polyurethane that most beds are now made with over the springs is bad for you. latex is made from a rubber tree and is heat treated for those with allergies concern but most mattresses use only a small amount because its expensive. Memory foam gives off chemicals coz its a petroleum product
I totally get the frustration over this review on the Dr. The title should be changed as it does appear to be a sleep number advertisement. That being said my review is to defend the sleep number bed itself. I myself have been sleeping on a sleep number for 15 years and would never sleep on anything else. Such a fan that we actually purchased a 2nd one. The guest room gets the queen and we now have a king. I love them, my husband loves them and my son loves them. We have had some guests stay and sleep on the queen. What they loved about it was the fact that once adjusted to their number it felt like their bed at home.
About time I could find mattress video that wasn't an advertisement
Oh wait 😂 wtf! Hey mofos can someone direct me to a video that just compares different types of mattress. Or have all you mad sales people deleted them all 😂😂😂
They say sleeping on your stomach is not recommended but I've tried other positions and they are uncomfortable for me so I always return to stomach sleeping, I don't see any way of braking that habit with out losing sleep...
If you are concerned with your sleep health then I recommend the Avocado Green Mattress. I have shopped all over and am a big fan of higher quality products that are organic and natural. You spend almost 1/3 of your life on a mattress, better make a good choice
How has it held up?
I love the bed but trying to use the inner circle is very frustrating.
Just got a *Tuft and Needle mattress and I luv it! Created by these 2 young guys using advanced tech, ie: graphite infused material. Ya really oughta watch one of their vids. The best innovation ever! Zzzzzzzz
Drs, I wish we could afford a need bed my hubby sleeps on his side at first then on his back where I sleep on my side all the time. Can u help
Pete Bils, the "sleep expert," is a VP of innovation at Sleep Number. He's a MATHEMATICIAN by trade. Both of these facts are from a CZcams video entitled "Pete Bils, VP Innovation, Select Comfort at Digital Health LIVE CES WebMD Lounge."
It's so obvious this was a sales pitch for select comfort. All you have to do is research complaints about select comfort as well as unhappy users and you'll see that a lot of those once, loyal customers of the brand have switched to a hybrid mattress from one of a dozen online websites.
Also they don't recommend you sleep on your stomach but it isn't really up to me. It is the only way I can fall asleep, I've tried sleeping on my back and side but it just doesn't work.
after seeing this video i just ordered a nice soft fluffy mattress topper 70 bucks lol
Just get a 3" Latex topper and make any mattress new. Latex is the cats meow. Get medium or firm.
We bought a generic Sleep Number. It was and still is defective. Couldn't get it fixed. Warrenty not honored. Since I have chronic pain with multiple injuries throughout my body. Sleep is rare. My husband also suffers from back, neck, shoulder and knee pain. No Sleep For Us.
This was a commercial for sleep number not a how to find the correct mattress segment.
Not one word about "inner spring" verses: latex, memory firm, air mattress or anything else.
Exactly!
1/3? Im not sleeping like I should. I only get 4-6hrs a night
What is a good bed company?
May I ask what Tempur you have now that is hurting you?
I got sleep number and do not like it. 179 for delivery and 179 for return. Customer service sucks already cancelled once, hope they show up for next scheduled pickup. Have to wait two to three weeks before receiving a check after pickup. Bought off of my sisters account to save extra 100 bucks. Now receiving junk mail at her house to places I've never been too. Should of bought a regular mattress.
Honest Pete works for Select Comfort.
The best mattress for you is the one that makes you feel the most comfortable. Like he said, lay on it in the store for a half hour or so in the position you sleep in.
Basically my mom had one, and when you take it apart, its literally a blow up mattress housed in a regular mattress.
Doing a side sleep pressure map without a pillow? What the hell? How can that the correct?
So the Sleep Number can measure pressure, got it. What do the people that have slept on it say without being paid to be on a tv show. Sounds like all the negative comments are saying Sleep Number should do a little more research on their bed designs. My experience has been that the costly mattresses aren't always the best. My current mattress (now 11 yrs old) meets my needs and there's no fancy built in adjustable pressure settings.
Seems like an infomercial for sleep number
Horseplay on the job to the left @ 2:05 haha!! Priceless
I bought a 300 dollar Mattest and it was the best deal ever. Am a Back sleeper... it has that mid hard but still feels so nice and I noice I don't even move the whole time maybe wake up but then am out in 4 to 8 seconds later.
then my girlfriend/furter wife just bought a sleep number.
Hybrid spring with minimal foams are best, memory foam is garbage. If your bed has memory foam, throw it away.
can you put these beds. on frames
I sell mattresses and Sleep number mattresses are mainly good for couples who can’t agree on a feel. When a guest of mine finds the perfect feel(let’s say Medium), they don’t ever say they want to make it firmer or softer. My point is find the right bell by laying on them. Now if you’re 25 and younger and have no medical issues then buying online will “probably” work, but I never recommend it. Oh yeah, huge fail Dr’s… You need to try mattresses with pillows because 25% of your support is in your neck thus altering pressure relief in shoulders.
The guy is on HSN selling the Sleep Number beds all the time. Conflict of interest?
Lucid or Purple are the best. Purple is very expensive so that's why I got a Lucid.
What's good about lucid
Definitely not a doctor of any kind. When someone uses the words "pretty instantly" together, you know you're dealing with someone who came out of the 2 week graduate course of Sleep University.
I've owned a TempurPedic before gave it back after a month all it is is an overhyped air mattress. buy a solid memory foam mattress.
For you it was. Not saying it isn't. But it might be gold to someone else.
This i smeasuring pressure point on the mattress and not on her!!!which are 2 different things!when he made a hole in the bed the image went into big blured shape which means that she is pulling some side are with it:)her face seems worried lol
The Sleep Number Innovation Series i10 Smart Bed with Flexfit 3 Adjustable Foundation was well worth the investment in my health and wellness.
I had Spinal fusion surgery C5/C6/C7 2 years ago after a car accident and have not had a good night sleep since. I'm in sooo much pain. I've gone through 3 beds which included a Mattress firm bed. Who had $3,500 to waste, not me. My son and I are in college paying pout of pocket. I wake up with pain in my neck, back, shoulders, hips, legs and I have headaches. I sleep on my side trying to adjust the weight to ease pain. Nope, doesn't work. I now don't have a bed and I am sleeping on my recliner couch. I need help. What do the doctors suggest?
I did some research on mattresses. Ironically I found a lot of positive reviews by people who sleep on the floor. It is perfect for spinal alignment and pressure. You just get a few layers and/or a futon on top, nothing more. either that or get a standard mattress and wodden bed frame, and add a latex/wool mattress topper. Gives support and softness. Forget bullsh*t expensive mattress even if you are rich they the same as regular.
well I can't hep but sleep on my stomach, I wake up like that every morning!
Looks like a Sleep Number commercial
Good points Deb. Just an AD for Sleep Number. Dr Scammers.
I've also slept on a sleep number too, TP is for sure better!
I did that. I went out and bought a really firm mattress and it has been giving me back pain and terrible hip and rib pain all night... I have 3 inches of memory foam on top, but need more :(
I wish I could afford a sleep number mattress
Sleep Number beds suck & even after 8 years of your posted comment they still Suck-S# has Not Improved their air chamber technology!
do you have a rapshody or breeze mattress
Scott Holliday actually
Isn't is illegal to post videos without warning the view that you are sponsored by the company being presented?
my bambillo bed is heaven so glad i got
It's amusing how many people presented as 'experts' on American TV would be considered 'quacks' in Britain.
14 yrs ago!!
Sleep Number commercial basically lol.
Are they 'doctors' of chiropractic?
Select comfort. Expensive and totally ineffective for a bad back.
WHAT ABOUT A BED THATS GOOD FOR FUCKING????????????
dunno, Try cuffing your boyfriend in a water bed.
Ed, the best mattress for that is somebody else's mattress, so you can get the fuck out of there when you are done.
супер хоть и только субтитры на русском, а мы продаем Grether&Wells Heaven Luxury
A medium latex mattress is the best.
Mattress salesman wants to mystify choosing . It’s really not that complex . Pocket spring or Bonelli . Pillow top is too hot in summer . Don’t want to sleep on a pillow .
Firm for back issues . Pocket spring for softer .
Do that have the mattress in twins form
Ugh!!! Sleep number beds are horrible. I'll never be scammed by them again.
i really waisted lots of money on what i thought was good bed...one thing i found you really need a good foundation ( box spring) then if you heavy size like me firm mattress ratings are better and im a stomach sleeper
I sleep on my stomach too, where can I buy the most firm mattress?
Sleeping well is not a f*cking science, just common sense and awareness. Some interesting points about pressure and what may be best for side and back sleepers. But I was shocked to hear the "sleep expert" state that it is 1 in a thousand chance of a random mattress suiting her. Its more like in two, whether she is big or small. Mattress is easy to customise too, just buy a mattress topper if you need extra layer. Read mattress reviews, shop wisely, and try b4 you buy. Simple.
Sleep Number is a glorified air mattress. Notice how this guy doesn't talk about support. That's because you don't get that from a Sleep Number. You can get the right feel with but your body could be out of alignment. If you live in the midwest, I recommend going through the diagnostic program at an Art Van Pure Sleep. They have all the best brands and use proprietary technology to diagnose you and every mattress to correlate your support. It's the best process to taking the guesswork out of finding the right mattress.
ok
