Will a Sleep Number C2/C4 mattress bottom out on me?

July 9, 2015 9:54 AM

I tried various models of Sleep Number mattress in their store, and I liked how well even the lower-end models (C2/C4) conformed to my body. However, when I got off the C2, I noticed that the edge collapsed, since it is foam. I am just under 6'0" and roughly 200 lbs. My "number" was 35 on the C2 and 40 on the C4. As they are only 8" and 9" thick, respectively, can anyone tell me from experience or otherwise if "bottoming out" will be a problem during the night? If so, will a memory foam topper solve this issue?

Consumer Reports loves several models of Sleep Number, and Sleep Like the Dead has lots of information (though they do note the drawbacks, such as the weak foam). I am also considering the Casper mattress; that one has a better return policy than Sleep Number, but I haven't tried one out.

I'm 5'11" and 225 lbs, and I don't bottom it our c2 set at 35. It feels a little funny getting out of bed when my side is 35 and her side is 50, but I don't find it problematic. We have a foam topper on there.
