Anyone tried a Select Comfort or similar air type mattress?

I have a friend who swears by his Select Comfort although admittedly he never had any sleep issues such as back pain.
He even bought one for his parents and says they love it too.
I think they seem very over-priced but if it gave me a good night's sleep with less back pain the price would not be an issue.

Just curious if anyone here has ever tried one of these?

Hi imjay, Yes, I have considered a waterbed. I used to sleep on one of the old wavey squishy waterbags when I was in my 20's and loved it! And  then in my 30's I had a little more complex one with some baffling in it and that was fine, too. Finally it kept leaking at the corners and I had to get rid of it.

Then, about 5 years ago I slept on my nephew's waterbed for a couple nights and that felt very good, too (his was a more modern one with baffling and maybe some foam in it?)

So I am interested in water beds but when I looked at them 7 years or so ago all the ones I found that looked to be of a good quality were too expensive. May I ask if you can recommend a not-too expensive one?

I am not ready to try one yet. Right now I am very happy with my new overnightmattress.com M-Grade Foam mattress. But should it become uncomfortable, I may indeed try a waterbed next...
