What Happened After Several Live Chat Sessions
The Innovation Series of Sleep Number beds – like the I-10 and the I-LE – are made with several layers and specific features. Here is what happened after chatting for a while with Sleep Number Customer Service.- Mattress Top: All three of the mattresses in the Innovation Line (the I-8, the I-10, and the I-LE) all feature similar duvet.-style pillow-tops. The amount of quilting foam inside each will differ. A representative told me that because the I-10 has a 15” mattress profile, it will have an additional inch of quilting foam in the top of the mattress as compared to the I-LE with a 14” mattress profile.
- Foam Comfort Layer: Because the I-10 features 2” of denser memory foam in the reversible comfort layer, it will feel firmer overall compared to the I-LE mattress that features only regular comfort foam.
- Cooling Features: Both mattresses offer different ways to keep people sleeping cool. The I-10 has temperature balancing material (Outlast Technology) on the mattress cover, while the foam comfort layer on the I-LE is designed with breathability in mind.
Which Should People Pick?
I-10 if…
- People Sleep with a Partner. The I-10 model is only made with dual air chambers, making it ideal for those who share a bed. Each partner gets their own air chamber to adjust to their Sleep Number. The reversible memory foam/PlushFit foam layer is also separated, so each person can sleep on his/her preferred side.
- People Want Full Body Pressure Relief. With the I-10, consumers get 2 additional zoned areas of body contouring – the lower legs and feet, while he I-LE has 5 zones of contouring and the I-10 has 7 total for a full body experience.
- People Want It All. If people want a luxurious pillow-top, layers of Memory Foam, Plushfit foam, and cooling technology, all of that is possible with the I-10 mattress. With the I-10 people get all of the options and with the comfort foam layers, they can change it to whatever their preference is at the moment.

I-LE if…
- People Want More Cushion. Consumers can absolutely adjust the support of their mattress with their Sleep Number setting, but the 2” of reversible memory foam in the I-10 mattress makes it a denser and firmer mattress compared to the I-LE, which features 3” of enhanced comfort foam. So even though the I-10 has more layers of cushion, the I-LE will still be the least firm of the two mattresses.
