Sleep Number C2 Smart Bed Review

Updated: Feb 23, 2024

In this post, I will be going over the features of the Sleep Number C2 Smart Bed and reviewing my experience with it over the last two months! The Sleep Number C2 Smart Bed is part of the Sleep Number Classic Series, designed to provide customizable comfort and support. As an adjustable air bed, it allows you to find your ideal firmness level using the innovative Sleep Number technology. Let’s dive into the details:


Key Features

  1. Adjustable Air Chambers: The C2 bed features air chambers that you can inflate or deflate to achieve your desired firmness. Each side of the bed is independently adjustable, making it perfect for couples with different preferences.

  2. No Foam Mattress Pad: Unlike other Sleep Number mattresses, the C2 does not come with a foam mattress pad on top of the air chamber. Instead, it has a soft fiberfill layer sewn directly above the air chambers. This design caters to those who prefer firmer beds, especially side sleepers.

  3. Integrated Base: The C2 Smart Bed comes with an integrated base that provides sturdy support. The base is compatible with various bed frames and foundations.


Comfort and Customization


The heart of the Sleep Number experience lies in finding your unique “Sleep Number.” Using the included remote control, you can adjust the air pressure in the chambers to achieve your desired level of firmness. Whether you prefer a plush feel or a firmer surface, the C2 allows you to fine-tune your comfort.


Construction and Materials


  • Air Chambers: The adjustable air chambers are the core of the C2 mattress. They respond to your adjustments, ensuring personalized support.

  • Fiberfill Layer: The soft fiberfill layer provides cushioning without compromising the bed’s firmness. It’s a great choice for those who want a supportive yet comfortable surface.

  • Integrated Base: The sturdy base ensures stability and durability. It’s designed to work seamlessly with the mattress.


Pros and Cons


Pros:
  1. Customizable Firmness: The ability to adjust firmness levels individually makes the C2 ideal for couples.

  2. Affordability: As one of the more budget-friendly Sleep Number options, the C2 delivers quality without breaking the bank.

  3. Durable Construction: The integrated base adds stability and longevity to the overall setup.

  4. Personalized Insights: The SleepIQ® score provides insights for better sleep.

Cons:
  1. No Foam Comfort Layer: Some users may miss the foam layer found in other Sleep Number models.

  2. Limited Features: The C2 lacks some of the advanced features available in higher-tier Sleep Number beds.

The advantage to the integrated base, the pump and hoses are all neatly tucked away in a supportive base for the mattress. This can be used with other bed frames, too, not just the one from Sleep Number!

Conclusion


Highly, highly, highly recommend! There’s a reason that NFL players and other athletes choose Sleep Number, it’s excellent! The dual chamber adjustability for my significant other and I, is amazing! She's a plush mattress type of gal and I'm a firm mattress type of guy, the little bit of soft foam on top of the air chambers is just enough for me (70) and help cushion her a little more (55). Our dog likes to go back and forth to get the best of both! Customer service was fantastic, helping us choose between this and a more expensive, older model. The delivery and installation duo were extremely professional, friendly, and ensured I knew how to get started using our new bed and its smart features! The Sleep Number C2 Smart Bed offers a straightforward yet effective sleep experience. If you prioritize adjustability, affordability, and personalized comfort, the C2 is worth considering. Remember to explore the various firmness settings for the first few weeks and find your perfect Sleep Number for restful nights!
