Our Sleep Number bed is absolutely dreamy. We've loved it from the very first night. But, a couple of weeks ago we unzipped the top of the mattress and made a wonderful discovery. There we found a 2-inch thick layer of "egg crate" foam. And, that got us thinking.
You see, we love memory foam. We had a groovy 3-inch memory foam topper on the mattress in our first moose. So, we quickly came to the conclusion that replacing this 2-inch flimsy stuff with a layer of memory foam would be a welcome addition to our household.
A few clicks later, the deed was done. I returned to overstock.com and found a 2-inch Serta memory foam topper that looked like it would do the trick. Yesterday it arrived. Last night we unrolled the foam tamale and cut it to fit. We put the new memory foam on top of the existing egg crate and zipped up the mattress. It all fit perfectly.
And, we're so pleased to report, it sleeps like a dream!
Bottom line: We took a good thing and made it great. We had no complaints about our Sleep Number bed. But, we definitely made it better.
Sweet dreams!

sweet dreams on your 'new bed'
I can't believe that Sleep Number (for what they charge) does not include memory foam. We bought a Sleep Number wannabe (Regin -- same concept, just no "number") a while back, and it came with a layer of memory foam to go over the air mattresses. We love it, too -- plan on taking it in the RV when we hit the road!
Great idea. We like our sleep number bed, but we have thought the center divider foam was not that useful.
Time to check out the memory foam.
Thanks.

Chuck and Anneke, that center divider was actually what had us unzipping the mattress in the first place. I thought it was messed up. Hope you give the memory foam a go!
Tom and Marci, we agree!! In fact, we checked on the Sleep Number website to see if memory foam is an option. And, it is. So, we just made our own!
