Designed for Forever
Most components inside the Personal Comfort mattress are upgradeable, swappable and replaceable.
The zippers on our premium products are sewn into the mattress with a precision Sleep Number doesn’t bother with. It costs us more, but it changes everything. It means every zipper on every one of our mattress components lines up perfectly with every other—and that means all of our mattress components are interchangeable.
So if your dog digs through your mattress top cover (it happens), just order a new top cover. It’ll zip on as smoothly as the original. With Sleep Number, you’d have to buy the top cover plus all the pieces it zips into—and that can cost more than a thousand dollars.
So any mattress you buy from Personal Comfort can be made good as new—or upgraded to a different feel—at any time, forever. That’s why we say Personal Comfort may be the last mattress you’ll ever buy.
25-Year Warranty
The Personal Comfort™ smart bed is designed to provide maximum comfort and durability. We stand behind our product and service and want only the best experience for each and every customer. That’s why we have created the industry’s best 25-year limited warranty.
Flex-Head™ Design
Compare to Sleep Number® FlexFit™ Beds. Raise your head without disturbing your partner. The Personal Comfort® Flex-Head™ bed allows you to fully personalize your sleep experience. All models available in Queen, King and California King sizes.
True Dual Adjustability
The Personal Comfort is truly the Perfect Bed for Couples. Compare Personal Comfort to Sleep Number. Both Sleep Number and Personal Comfort use separate air chambers to create a dual-adjustable sleep surface—which means each sleeper can adjust their side of the mattress to their own personal comfort zone.
Sleep Number zips the two air chambers together to keep them from shifting apart. This means the air chambers aren’t truly independent, and any motion on one side may be transferred to the other. Personal Comfort's air chambers are held together by containing them inside a lock-tight foam enclosure. The chambers maintain their independence, but they can’t move apart. That’s true personal comfort.
Wireless Control
Our new generation of air control units have built-in Bluetooth to allow smartphone connectivity to the entire Personal Comfort sleep system (mattress and power base). There are a total of 45 personalized settings, per side, available to you. Sleep Number only has 20 unique comfort settings per side.

AIR-CONTROL SYSTEM
More options. More comfort. The Personal Comfort Air Control System comes with Bluetooth connectivity to give your smartphone control of the sleep system. There are 45 total pressure settings from 5 to 50 in increments of 1.
Less noise. More efficient. Our Air Control System uses a dual diaphragm compressor that is much quieter and more efficient than popular piston-based compressors.
Sleep better without distractions. The Air Control System only turns on when you want it to make an adjustment. And it won’t turn on automatically while you’re sleeping.
HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTION
We use only polyurethane foam that’s been approved by the independent CertiPur-US® certification program. That means it’s made without harmful ingredients (e.g., formaldehyde, heavy metals, phthalates) and doesn’t give off harmful emissions.
The Personal Comfort mattress is designed in the U.S.A. and manufactured by the producers of the Original Smart Bed®, American National Manufacturing. As a leader in the mattress industry, we combine the highest quality materials with state-of-the-art technology.
ALL AT A MUCH LOWER PRICE
All Personal Comfort mattresses are built and sold direct to you. We don’t have a lot of overhead to pass costs along to our customers, unlike Sleep Number. That’s how we can afford to build the best mattress we know how to make, and still sell it to you for far less than Sleep Number in most cases. Personal Comfort truly is a better smart bed at a better price.
