Two very different products are vying for your sleep-comfort budget: the Select Comfort Sleep Number 1/2 Air Bed Chamber for King Mattress S-815 E-King and the Serta Cooling Gel Memory Foam Bed Pillows 2 Pack. One replaces a critical part of an adjustable air bed; the other replaces the pillows under your head. Which one you need depends entirely on where your sleep discomfort is coming from.
Quick Verdict
If your Sleep Number king mattress has a chamber that won't hold air, the Select Comfort replacement is the clear pick-it's the part that makes the bed work. If your mattress is fine and you just want more comfort for your head and neck, the Serta pillows deliver at a fraction of the cost.

Where Each Wins
Select Comfort Sleep Number Air Chamber wins when you already own a compatible Sleep Number king bed and need a working air chamber. This specific model (S-815 E-King) is described as tested and held air for multiple days with no leaks, and it comes with two white caps. It's the functional core of your sleep system.
Serta Cooling Gel Memory Foam Pillows win on price, new condition, and instant comfort upgrade. At USD 23.10, the 2-pack costs a fraction of the chamber, and the cooling gel memory foam contours to support your head and neck. The pillow cover is machine washable, and they're standard-size pillows that fit typical pillowcases.
Product Notes
Select Comfort Sleep Number 1/2 Air Bed Chamber for King Mattress S-815 E-King
This is a replacement air chamber from Sleep Number, specifically for a king mattress with the S-815 E-King model number. It's a used unit, but the description says it held air for multiple days with no leaks, and it has two air ports plus two white caps included. The chamber is adjustable and inflatable, designed to work with a motor pump. If your current chamber won't hold air, this could restore your bed's function. However, it's used, so you should expect normal wear like minor discoloration, marks, and scuffs. It's a single chamber, so be sure your bed uses this configuration. This is a repair part, not a comfort upgrade on its own.
Serta Cooling Gel Memory Foam Bed Pillows 2 Pack Standard Sleep Support Comfort
These Serta pillows come new with tags, offering a fresh addition to your sleep setup. They're a 2-pack of standard-size pillows filled with cooling gel memory foam, which is designed to promote a cooler sleep while contouring to support your head and neck. The pillow covers zip off and are machine washable, making upkeep simple. At USD 23.10, they're an affordable way to refresh your bedding, especially if your current pillows are worn or too warm. The main limitation is that they're just pillows-they won't fix a broken mattress air chamber. If your Sleep Number bed needs that chamber, these pillows can't solve that problem.
Final Choice by Use Case
If you're repairing a Sleep Number king mattress that isn't holding air, the Select Comfort chamber is the necessary purchase. Pillows won't fix an un-inflated bed. If your mattress is fine and you're just looking for a budget-friendly way to improve comfort, the Serta cooling gel pillows are a smart pick. When in doubt, think about the source of your discomfort: if the bed itself is failing, go with the chamber; if you're waking up with neck or heat issues, try the pillows first.
