Sleep Number Comfort Next vs. Beverly Hills Bed: Same Idea, Thousands of Dollars Apart
Sleep Number just launched its ComfortNext collection — and the marketing is impressive. Dual air chambers. Adjustable firmness. Pain relief. Cooling layers. What they don't lead with is the price. We laid their 12" and 14" models side-by-side with ours, dollar for dollar and feature for feature, so you can see exactly what you're actually paying for.
What Is the Sleep Number Comfort Next Collection?
Sleep Number's ComfortNext lineup is their newest flagship series, built around adjustable dual air chambers with what they call Responsive Air technology — the idea being that the mattress senses your movement and automatically adjusts firmness through the night. The collection comes in three heights: the standard ComfortNext at 12", the Lux at 13", and the Ultra at 14". The Lux and Ultra add individually wrapped micro coils in a Tri-Brid construction and extend pressure relief to the lower back. All three are controlled via Sleep Number's smartphone app, with each side adjustable independently for couples.
On paper, it sounds like a leap forward. In practice, the core concept — dual adjustable air chambers in a mattress that each sleeper can personalize — is exactly what Beverly Hills Bed has offered for years, at a fraction of the price and with a few features Sleep Number still hasn't thought to include.
Round One
The Queen 12" Match-Up: ComfortNext vs. Beverly Hills Bed 12"
Sleep Number ComfortNext 12"
$2,699
Queen — Add FlexFit 3 adjustable base. 4,898
Beverly Hills Bed 12" mattress
from $2,350
Queen — Add Lumbar Adjustable base. 3,599
Let's be direct about what that price difference means. Sleep Number's 12" ComfortNext costs $2,699 for the mattress alone — no base. To actually sleep on it the way it's intended, you'll need to add an adjustable base. Add their top of the line FlexFit 3 adjustable base and the price jumps to $4,898.
Beverly Hills Bed's 12" Queen air mattress starts at $2,350. Add their top of the line 500 series lumbar, massaging base the price is 3599.00 - a savings of over 1200.00 dollars — both sets come with everything you need to sleep that night. That's the full setup for each.
On firmness control, both mattresses offer per-side adjustment for couples. But where Sleep Number adds tech is through a smartphone app. Beverly Hills Bed gives you physical wireless remotes — with no no app for the mattress .
At the 12" comparison, Beverly Hills Bed's complete bundle costs over $1,200 less than a Sleep Number ComfortNext 12" plus their base. That's not a sale. That's the regular price.
Round Two
The Queen 14" Match-Up: Comfort Next Ultra vs. Beverly Hills Bed 14"
Sleep Number Comfort Next Ultra 14" mattress only
$3,999
Queen — Add FlexFit 3 adjustable base 6198.00.
Beverly Hills Bed 14" pillow top mattress only
2650.00
Queen — Add Lumbar Adjustable base 3750.00
This is where the gap becomes genuinely hard to justify on Sleep Number's side. The ComfortNext Ultra 14" lists at $3,999 for the mattress. Add their top-tier FlexFit 3 adjustable base — which adds foot warming and advanced articulation — A complete Sleep Number 14" Ultra setup with their best base costs $5,298.
Beverly Hills Bed's 14" adjustable air mattress paired with our top-of-the-line lumbar support, pillow tilt, and massaging base costs $3,750 a savings of over $ 1,500.
Sleep Number's Ultra adds what they call maximum cooling and individually wrapped micro coils between the air chambers and the top comfort layers. These are real features. But it's worth asking: are they $1,500+ worth of features, to justify a premium price tag built around a brand name?
Even with Beverly Hills Bed's most fully loaded lumbar and pillow tilt base, you'll substantially less than a Sleep Number Ultra 14" setup — and walk away with a top tier adjustable base with added features.
The Feature Sleep Number Hasn't Figured Out Yet
Exclusive to Beverly Hills Bed 14"
The Beverly Hills bed 14" air mattress includes an internal flippable comfort topper that sits directly on top of the dual air bladders. This isn't a separate pad you buy and lose in the wash — it's built into the mattress itself, underneath the top quilted cover. Flip it one way for a plusher feel; flip it the other for a firmer surface response. Combined with 50-setting air chamber control on each side, you're working with two independent comfort systems stacked on top of each other. Sleep Number's Ultra 14" gives you air and foam.

What Sleep Number Gets Right — and Where That Ends
Sleep Number deserves credit for popularizing adjustable air mattresses, smart tech and building a brand that makes people feel comfortable with the category. Their Responsive Air technology — which senses movement and micro adjusts firmness — is a thoughtful engineering feature, and their showroom experience makes the concept accessible to first-time buyers. If you've never slept on an adjustable air mattress, walking into a Sleep Number store is a decent education.
But the value equation breaks down quickly. Responsive Air auto-adjusts based on an algorithm. Beverly Hills Bed's 50-setting manual control lets you make that same call yourself, in the moment, the way you actually want it — and then lock it in. There's no learning curve, no algorithm deciding what your body needs. You decide. The remote is in your hand.
Sleep Number's app ecosystem is polished, but it adds dependency. Firmware updates, Bluetooth connectivity, app permissions, account management — these are friction points that don't exist when your remote is a physical device that works the moment you pick it up. Sleep tech for some feel like it should reduce complexity, not introduce it.
Who Should Buy Which
If brand name recognition is your primary purchasing driver and price is a secondary concern, Sleep Number's ComfortNext collection is a well-made product with strong marketing support. Their retail network and in-store experience are real advantages for shoppers who want to try before they buy.
If you want a costs savings — more customization, more comfort layers, a massaging adjustable base with lumbar and pillow tilt options included — at a price that's thousands less, Beverly Hills Bed is the straightforward choice. The Beverly Hills Bundles offer more savings when combined. The Beverly Hills bed 14" with premium base undercuts the Sleep Number Comfort Next Ultra equivalent full setup by a margin that's difficult to rationalize spending past, regardless of brand loyalty.
The Bottom Line
The adjustable air mattress category has matured. The technology is proven, the comfort benefits are well-documented, and the options have expanded well beyond one dominant brand. Sleep Number's ComfortNext collection is their answer to a market that's gotten more competitive — but the pricing still reflects a company that built its reputation on being the only serious option in the room.
Beverly Hills Bed exists because that's no longer true. The 12" and 14" adjustable air mattresses match or exceed the ComfortNext collection on price, include the adjustable bases Sleep Number charges extra for, add massage and lumbar features Sleep Number's top base still doesn't offer in the same package, and land thousands of dollars below the Sleep Number total at every comparison point.
The sleep may be congruent but price is better for Beverly Hills Bed. The only thing Sleep Number has more of is the tech.
