I got rid of my waterbed bladder a few years ago and just stuck an old coil spring mattress in the waterbed frame. Now that is hurting my back so I'm thinking about just buying the 2 air chambers and the pump and putting them in the same frame.
Will this work? I know I'm missing a bunch of foam pieces and select comforts actual full bed kinda has a different base. But overall what do you think or has anyone else tried it?

Don't buy it, I heard that you might as well buy an air mattress because its air that you are sleeping on. If price is not a problem but the temper petic

Part of the reason why the coil spring mattress is hurting you back is because it does not have the proper support underneath. If you do not use a box spring with the mattress, the mattress will not function properly. The water bed frame was not designed to support a coil spring mattress.
I would think that the same would be true for the Select Comfort air mattress.

It looks like the Sleep number bed has plenty of fans out there, but let me give you my opinion. My husband and I decided to give the sleep number bed a try. Our conventional mattress was breaking down, and my husbands back was killing him EVERY night. We did the demo in the store and laid on it about 15 to 20 minutes and decided that we would give it a go. 15 or 20 minutes is not long enough to make an informed decision on a mattress we learned. We got a queen sized one with the dual chambers and the quiet motor. It wasn't the top of the line one, but it was the one just below it. We noticed right away that the mattress was firmer in the middle than any setting that we could get on the controller. To us, no matter what setting we set, we felt like it was an "air mattress" We were never so happy to get rid of it. Another problem we had is that it didn't sleep evenly. I don't mean across the whole bed, I mean within the individual chambers. At times I felt like my butt was higher than my head. Another thing... when we were in the store my husband asked if they had one that he could look inside of to see how it was constructed. They told him no. When we received ours, we were shocked as to how it was constructed. The construction was basically two air mattresses surrounded by a bunch of foam with a cloth cover. That is it... kind of meager for how much you spend on it. We opted for the Tempurpedic Celebrity model after we returned the Sleep Number Bed. (They were good about taking it back but we still had to pay $200.00 to return it.) My husband and I both love it. His back pain has been gone since we bought it and both of us have said that if our house burned down tomorrow, we would go out and buy another one. The only gripes I have is that the mattress is so thick that finding good sheets is hard. I have to use the elastic suspenders to keep them on. The other thing is that it is extremely heavy to move. To us, the sleep number bed simply felt like and overpriced air mattress. Also, if you pull up some of the previously answered questions on answers you will see that some of the Select Comfort owners have had problems with mold.

Buy the Temper-pedic. It is a proven product and it has a lifetime warranty on the matress.
