[edit]

"It is a highly profitable company that is positioned for further growth." - definitely not neutral.

The whole article seems to have a bias

Tried to eliminate all the advertising talk and just stick to some facts about the company.

Stub Categorizing?

[edit]

I agree with the above unsigned comment, and I think that this article should be tagged as a stub. Any suggestions? WiiAlbanyGirl 05:53, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

yep, this is a PR article (from the Corporate Social Responsibility Department probably) User:horzer —The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 12:49:16, August 19, 2007 (UTC).


I agree with this comments is amazing how nobody speed deleted this so called article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Improving Sleep (talk • contribs) 00:14, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality

[edit]

This entire article is slanted for advertising. I suggest someone re-writes the article or take it to afdNightRider63 02:04, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have made some edits that I think will help, though it may still need some work, so I've left the tag in for now. I also deleted two items -- "The "sleep system" allows users to control the firmness of each side of their mattress with a handheld remote." -- this item seems like it would better belong on the page for the bed itself -- and "Mr. Walker then went on to found Bixby Energy Systems." -- who cares, that can go on his own page on Wikipedia, if he has one. It's not relevant. Agent0042 (talk) 22:47, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I went with 2328 employees from the 10-K form. Thank you for providing references - makes this much easier. I saw that selectcomfort.com redirects to sleepnumber.com - should that be the website we list? Gobōnobo + c 17:08, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
