we have sleep number in our landmark for 1 year with no problemsHi All,
Considering upgrading to a sleep number R5 mattress for our Landmark. Has anyone upgraded to one with the tilt bed in the Landmark? Curious if you have to deflate it to tilt the bed.
Thanks,
Sounds like there is also some issues with the sleep number R5 mattress as well. They are pricey, $2400. Problem is the king mattress that comes with the Landmark is already developing sink holes on both sides. Was looking at the R5 mattress as an alternative, because of the adjustability. With the new Landmark you have to tilt the bed for travel. We went to the Sleep Number store to ask about the R5 (same mattress they sell at CW) and they looked at us like the RCA dog. Finally the manager said they knew what we were talking about and showed us the mattress in their catalog.
Thanks for the response.
You mentioned the tilt bed. Do you tilt it and lay it flat daily? Or tilt when traveling only?
I think if you deflated the Sleep Number mattress (while laying on it) to a very low number, tilting it would likely be fine. However, you may need something to keep the mattress from sliding off the platform. It’s so lightweight, it moves easily.

Actual Sleep Number Beds at the higher end tilt in Queen size and in King will tilt split so that each can tilt to their own comfort. They require you use their tilt platform which, if I remember correctly, comes with the mattress. This adds a small amount of height. We opted for our S&B non tilting Select Comfort.
It is mandatory that you tilt it for travel. There are metal wire brackets at the foot of the bed that keep the mattress from sliding off the end when you push the button to raise or tilt the bed. The bed is motorized. We have been tilting it daily after we make the bed to give more floor space. I was reading the Q&A on the sleep number web site, regarding tilting the mattress or bending it, it seems there are mixed answers to the question. On a side note, it seems the mattress does come with a 25yr warranty.

Yes, you are correct. They also make the R3 and R5 which are designed for the RV industry.
I have also face the same and I can relate with it, as I have big size mattress.We have the California King Sleep number in our LM, not a tilt though. We cant put the bedroom slide all the way in without lifting up the thick futon mattress and putting pillows underneath it for travel due to the length since it hangs off the platform several inches and we deflate it also prior to travel. Obviously not the RV size!
