Legal issues and controversy The appeals court also threw out a $2.63 million legal fee award for Sleep Number. In 2015, a class action lawsuit was filed against Sleep Number and Leggett & Platt accusing the companies of failing to uphold the warranty and fix a bed they sold to customers, David and Katina Spade.

Sleep Number thinks it can help, with new smart-bed technology. And the new "Sleep Next Level" brand-positioning campaign highlights the options. Created by 72andSunny, and featuring actress Gabrielle Union and her husband Dwyane Wade, an NBA star who played for the Heat for 16 years.

All Sleep Number® beds are designed and crafted in our award-winning U.S. manufacturing facilities located in Irmo, SC, and Salt Lake City, UT.

Ordinary mattresses tend to need replacing every 8-10 years, but the Sleep Number® smart bed is designed to last 15 years or more. Sleep with confidence, as any warranted repair or replacement is also fully covered the first year, then prorated based on your purchase date.

People have also complained about Sleep Number beds being uncomfortable. Some talk about the bed deflating too often and others say it simply feels like a glorified air mattress. Also, depending on the model you receive, some Sleep Number's don't come with a cushioned mattress pad, making the bed feel extra firm.

Sleep Number has partnered with actress, producer and author Gabrielle Union and her husband Dwyane Wade, retired NBA hall of fame player, in its latest advertising campaign.
