If there’s one item people love to save on, it’s a mattress. It’s no secret that having the right mattress can be the difference between a great night’s sleep and, well, a nightmare. That being said, it’s also well-known that these sleep essentials do not always come cheap — especially if you’re after one with all the bells and whistles. 

Speaking of which, if there’s one sleep retailer you should always check for sales, it’s Sleep Number. The brand is home to some of the most innovative high-tech mattresses and bases around, including the staff-favorite c2 Smart Bed. A few months back, our Social Media Manager Brian put this pick to the test and found it to be a game-changer — not only for his sleep, but also for his wife’s. Right now, this pick is seriously discounted during Sleep Number’s Cyber Week sale (I’m talking $260 off!) making it one deal worth checking out. So, why should this be the mattress you pick up?

What Is the Sleep Number c2 Smart Bed? 

When it comes to high-tech beds, there’s a lot about the c2 Smart Bed that makes it stick out among the rest. Now, when you think of Sleep Number you immediately think of its iconic customizable design — so, naturally, this mattress’s adjustable firmness level is the first thing that makes it different. With just a few taps, you (and your partner!) can create your perfect comfort level and take advantage of its iconic support and adjust as your needs change. 

Another thing that sticks out about this mattress is its improved cooling and pressure relief features, which come thanks in part to a ceramic gel layer that draws heat away for enhanced breathability. But perhaps the coolest feature about this bed — which truly makes it smart — is that, along with adjusting the bed’s firmness, the integrated app also offers SleepIQ technology, which provides sleep quality insights, including your average heart rate, your breath rate, and the duration of your sleep. Talk about a bed that really knows you!

For Brian, this mattress completely changed the way both he and his wife slept. It all started when they noticed a change in their old mattress. “Our previous memory foam mattress was losing support, which made it uncomfortable to sleep on and to even get out of bed,” he shared. Thankfully, once they introduced the Sleep Number c2 Smart Bed to their space, it was like night and day. 

When it came to receiving this mattress, the process couldn’t have been smoother. “The setup was straightforward, and the customer service team was very helpful and checked in on me throughout the process,” he noted. Once everything was ready to roll and he and his wife perfected their individual settings (he sleeps at a firm 80, while his wife prefers a springy 60), it was nothing but sweet dreams. 

“As someone who has struggled to find the perfect balance between comfort and support, this bed has been a game-changer,” he shared. “The adjustable firmness feature is fantastic — I love being able to customize the bed to my exact preferences with just a few clicks. It’s incredibly easy to use and has significantly improved my sleep quality.” How’s that for a glowing review? 

Normally, this pricey pick will run you a cool $1,300, but right now you can get it for just $1039 during Sleep Number’s Cyber Week sale. So if you’re looking to get the best sleep of your life (and learn a bit more about your sleep habits while you’re at it), this is one deal you won’t want to pass up on. Sweet dreams!
