Over time memory foam can lose its firmness and shape. In a test simulating 2.5 years of wear, a leading memory foam bed lost more than 50 percent of its supportive firmness. In the same test, the Sleep Number Memory Foam Bed lost only 2 percent of its supportive firmness.

Temperature -- Other memory foam beds tend to sleep hot due to the dense material that doesn't allow optimal air circulation. In fact, the thicker the memory foam, the more it will naturally retain heat. However, in the same in- home study conducted by Select Comfort, two-thirds of the participants rated the sleeping temperature of the Sleep Number Memory Foam Bed as "just right."

The combination of air chambers and a carefully chosen amount of foam in the Sleep Number Memory Foam Bed allows for increased natural air circulation. The mattress is covered with a knitted fabric to further enhance breathability of the bed and help ensure a comfortable night of sleep.

Ease of Movement -- Memory foam bed owners say that not being able to feel their partner move in bed is a key benefit. However, the same memory foam that also inhibits sleeping partners from feeling the other's movement can also make it difficult to move at all during the night. In the same study, 85 percent of participants gave high ratings of "excellent" and "very good" regarding ease of movement on the Sleep Number Memory Foam bed.
