You want to keep things simple. The c4 model requires the use of either the Sleep IQ® mobile app or Sleep Number remote to control the firmness level. If you aren't particularly tech saavy, this might not be the right choice for you.
You want an all-foam mattress. All Sleep Number Classic Series models, including c4, use air chambers at their core to pump more or less air depending on your controlled settings.

Firmness/Feel/Comfort
The c4 Smart Bed is adjustable to your preferred firmness level with Sleep Number settings ranging from 1 (softest) to 100 (firmest).
The c4 model comes with a 3" gel-infused comfort layer for added cushioning and a more balanced feel. The air chambers allow you to adjust the firmness levels to your desired setting (whether that's sink-in soft or no-pushback firm).
Construction Key Points
The Sleep Number c4 is 9" tall.
Cover - A blend of rayon and polypropylene fabrics with a soft fiberfill material sewn directly into the cover for nice, breathable comfort.
Air Chambers - Depending on the size, the c4 is built with either single or dual-sided air chambers. The chambers are connected to a 4-foot long pump (hidden within the mattress) that inflates or deflates your mattress based on your specifications.
Support & Motion Isolation
The Sleep Number c4 model has excellent motion isolation due to the two separate air chambers, one on each side of the mattress. Any motion stays on individual sides of the bed.
The c4 contains foam border walls providing superb edge-to-edge support.
Since the air chambers on each side of the bed are individually adjustable, the middle is susceptible to a slight sag if one side is firmer or softer than the other.
Reasons to Buy Sleep Number c4
This is a great choice for people who tend to sleep hot. The Sleep Number c4 Smart Bed keeps quite cool as it's constructed with air rather than a denser memory foam.
If you sleep with a partner, this bed is a perfect solution. The Queen size and up comes with 2 air chambers (one on each side) that allows you and your partner to adjust your side to your personal comfort level.
If you have back problems, the Sleep Number c4 Bed is a perfect match. Being adjustable, the Sleep Number c4 model contours to your lower back and hips based on your preferred firmness level setting. This pressurized support and added cushioning brings ample pain relief where you need it most.
