Comfortaire (IIRC) is the original company that came up with beds with air chambers. Then a couple of execs left and formed Sleep Number. Same product, but Sleep Number spends a lot more on marketing, so they charge more for their bed.
In any event, we've had a Comfortaire for years, and LOVE IT. The mattress never needs turning, has a 20-year warranty, and will never sag (since it has no springs). And dang is it the most comfortable mattress ever (others who have laid on it say things like "I'm never getting up")
Bought it from the company (essentially) for half price on ebay, in the original packaging. It had been shown in a trade show (thus never used--just pushed on or sat on), but once it had been out of the box, they couldn't sell it as new. So we got a bargain. A couple months later I bought another one, for my dad.
There's one for about half price on ebay for $799. When you consider these at last three times as long as a regular mattress, and are WAY more comfortable, it's like paying $300-400 for a regular mattress. Plus you don't have to turn it, and you can adjust each side for how much firmness you want.
Try to get one with a memory foam layer. One of ours (my favorite) has egg-crate top + memory foam layer; the other has egg-crate only (I think).
