About Air-Pedic

Air-Pedic's difference from both Sleep Number and Personal Comfort is zoning. Instead of one air chamber per side, its upper models split each side into six independently inflated zones running from head to foot.

That matters when the problem is localized. A sleeper recovering from a rotator cuff repair can drop pressure at the shoulder zone while keeping the lumbar zones firm — something a single whole-side firmness dial physically cannot do.

The cost is complexity: more chambers, more hoses and more service points than a conventional number bed. A 20-year limited warranty with replaceable components covers that, and the company sells direct without showrooms, which keeps prices below equivalent Sleep Number configurations.

What they make

Zoned dual-side air mattresses with up to six independent air zones per side; adjustable bases.

How Much Does a Air-Pedic Mattress Cost?

Air-Pedic queens run $1,700–$4,300 across the lineup (mid to premium tier). The table below estimates the rest of the size ladder from that queen range using the standard size pricing brands apply — the low column tracks the entry model, the high column the flagship. Treat these as planning estimates rather than quotes: promotions move real street prices by 20–30% for weeks at a time.

Air-Pedic FAQ

What is a zoned air mattress?

Instead of one inflatable chamber per side, the mattress is divided into several chambers running head to foot. Each inflates separately, so you can set a soft shoulder region and a firm lumbar region on the same side of the bed.

Is Air-Pedic better than Sleep Number?

For localized pain, the zoning is a real advantage that Sleep Number does not offer. For simplicity, showroom testing and sleep tracking, Sleep Number is the better experience. Air-Pedic is also generally cheaper at comparable specification.

How long does it take to set up the zones?

Six zones a side means twelve numbers to balance on a queen. Most owners spend several weeks adjusting before settling on a configuration they stop changing.
