Sleep Number Alternatives That Won’t Break the Bank

Want Adjustable Comfort Without the Premium Price Tag?

If you’ve been eyeing a Sleep Number bed but flinched at the price, you’re not alone. While Sleep Number beds are known for their customizable comfort, the steep cost, complicated setup, and optional subscription features can leave many shoppers wondering: Is there a better, more affordable alternative?

Spoiler alert: Yes. And at Owen Holmes, we’re here to help you understand what matters most—and how to get premium adjustability without draining your savings.


1. What People Love About Sleep Number (And What They Don’t)

Sleep Number beds are known for:

  • Adjustable firmness levels
  • Split king compatibility
  • Smart features like sleep tracking and pressure relief zones

But here’s what we hear from real shoppers:

  • “It’s too expensive—up to $10,000+ for a full setup”
  • “Too many add-ons and upgrades to get the features I want”
  • “Complicated setup and bulky components”
  • “Subscription costs for sleep tracking”
