IF you do a fair amount of "bed sitting" where your legs are draped across the edge of the bed - you WILL get edge breakdown in the Select Comfort beds. Also - they ARE "electric" beds and you'll need power to pump them up (duh...) But say that the valves don't hold as well as they age as they once did - you'll lose air. (duh). And you'll need power to pump back up.
If the power goes out - and you don't have a way to generate your own - you'll be out of a bed for a bit. May not be a big deal to most, but it may.
And yes - mold is a big issue with the Select Comfort beds.
I also think there are different levels of pumps based on the model of bed. "standard" vs. "quiet". If you can get the quiet pump - do so.
The edge foam breaking down / taking a set and the leaky valving MAY be a warranty issue - I have no idea. We haven't/didn't buy one.
I do believe our next bed will be a TempurPedic. Not sure which trim level, though. But it will be a King...
Sage advice: Don't skimp on a mattress. Buy the best you can afford - you spend around 1/3 of your life in bed. (Note - "best" doesn't mean most expensive)
