"Bought ours back in 2010 and we love our bed. It was the first time my husband at 6' 7 could sleep fully on the bed. Like a lot of the other customers we have issues finding sheets and having a white comforter with a husband that works in manufacturing is not very nice. I have looked at the other review with the list of websites and searched through each very carefully. I could not find sheets in any of them. A grand king and a California king are two different sizes. I only found one comforter that was in stock that might have fit but was a terrible color. Some of the sites did not even work. I really believe sleep number needs to change sheet and comforter colors every few years. I have been hoping for new colors. That is my only problem I have. It's wonderful to sleep on. Now we are thinking about investing in the cooling system that is on the commercials now. Not sure if it comes in our size though."

Pros: Mattress Pads/Comfort Layers, Sheets
"I have owned the split king for 5 years. Yes, this is an expensive bed...but...it is worth every penny! Most of us never blink at the price of a new car or a new mattress. Think about how many cars and mattress sets you have purchased in your lifetime. I do wish the bedding was more reasonable but the Sleep Number sheets are excellent quality. I have one set of sheets that I have washed every week for 5 years and they still look new. I would also recommend the mattress pads."
"I've had the Grand King bed for about six years. While I'm in love with the size and comfort it has its drawbacks. Since I bought the bed Sleep Comfort has been floating the idea that headboards wold be available soon and other vendors would offer bedding for the bed.
I have yet to find bedding anywhere but with Sleep Number. I have not seen a headboard anywhere. I checked all of the recommended vendors thatt Sleep Number recommended in response to another review and none of them have any Grand King bedding.
The mattress itself ripped at one of the seams when I was trying to square it with the foundation.
I have the Grand King comforter that I see is on closeout and find it lacking. It is impossible to clean and exceptionally easy to get soiled.
I own other Sleep Number beds including a King, Double, and a Single. I have not had any issues with any of these beds.
Due te problems listed above, I cannot recommend the Grand King unless you have to have the size and are willing to put up with limited choices for bedding."

Investment in full night sleep
Date:February 2, 2011
"We debated for a long time about how much to spend on the right mattress, bedding, pillows, etc. We both work very long hours and were sorely lacking a restful night sleep. After lots of reseach and numerous wasted investments in other products, we decided to take the plunge into the sleep numbers product. Once in the store, my very tall husband was sold on the idea of sleeping entirely on a mattress. We read all the comments about not being able to buy the grand king sheets and such. We were able to buy everything to fit the Grand King in the store and they delivered items to our house which were not in stock. We would like to see more choices for our bed size in the future. Overall, the difference in our daytime productivity and sleep satisfaction is unequaled. We are thrilled with our investment. Our 2 pets share my sleep number and there's even room for me too!"

Great bed, but can't find sheets...
Date:April 21, 2010
"We purchased this bed because my husband is 6'7", and this size allows him to finally sleep without his feet hanging off the bottom. It's incredibly comfortable. The sleep number adjustments were a huge benefit through 2 pregnancies. BUT, considering how much we paid for this bed, it's frustrating that Select Comfort does not selll sheets in this size online. You have to call customer service. Also, the only color that's been offered in sheets for this size over the last couple of years is carmel, which is low on my list of preferences. Overall, while I love the bed, I get frustrated with these issues."

"Okay so at first you wonder WHO would ever buy a bed so large it could be an island.....well my 6'10" hubby and his 6'1" wife did and they LOVE IT! My husband had a hard time with the price and having always made due on a king bed he was willing to do the same again...NO NEVER AGAIN...for the first time EVER in his life my husband can sleep like a normal person with room to spare (yes there is still room at the foot of the bed). We have gotten so spoiled that we can't take vacations for fear of sleeping in a REDUCED king size bed...ha! This is the best investment we have ever made and no worries about the sheets....there are MANY online companies that make sheets, bedspreads and other items for this bed. We have had our bed over 5 years and still have the original 2 sets of sheets we got from sleep number. They are still as great as the day we got them. An added benefit to this bed (our 12 year old who is 5'9" tall and our 5' 5" 7year old) can sleep with us and we all have room. As a matter of fact last movie night we had we added one more (thats 5 people in the BIG ISLAND BED) and we all had space to enjoy the show. Don't wait and cramp yourself anymore..enjoy the Bed and the space its worth every penny!!!!"

Great Mattress
Date:August 26, 2009
"We bought a Grande King Mattess and it is the most comfortable bed you have ever slept in . The only problem is that you can not get a good selection of sheets or comforters . It was not to customer friendly for them to sell us a Grand king mattress and not supply the customers with any choices of sheets as a matter of fact they very raley have any in stock. I would suggest only buying a regular king so you will have options as far os sheets are concerned. Otherwise this is the most comfortable best bed you will ever buy."

Grand King: pros and cons
Date:August 16, 2009
"When we first got the Grand King, the first thing I thought was that it was a glorified air mattress and wondered why we spent the money on this bed. Then, when we put it together, and I realized how big it was, I laughed! Again, I wondered why we bought this bed! The first night we slept on it (2 adults and 2 large dogs) I realized why! Not only is this bed the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in, it has more than enough room to accommodate all of us. The main issue I have is bedding. There is not a wide variety of sheets to buy at select comfort for the grand king and you have to have your comforter made for you if you want it to fit right. We have gotten by with an extra large king blanket in the past but that does not replace "nice" bedding. Our next sleep number will be a regular king size so we won't have the issues with sheets and bedding. I LOVE sleeping on this bed though, so there will be another one in my future!"
