🚚 How to Properly Move a Sleep Number Bed (A Step-by-Step Guide) 🚚

Moving can be a stressful process, and specialty items like a Sleep Number bed require extra care. Unlike a traditional mattress, you cannot simply pick it up and carry it out the door. A Sleep Number bed is a sophisticated piece of equipment with an air pump and chambers that can be easily damaged if moved incorrectly.

So, how do you move a Sleep Number bed? The key is a simple disassembly process. By taking a few extra minutes to take the bed apart correctly, you can ensure it arrives at your new home in perfect working condition. This guide will walk you through the entire process, step by step. ✅

🤔 First, What is the Most Important Rule?

Before you do anything else, you must understand the single most important rule: You MUST completely deflate the air chambers before moving the mattress. This is a non-negotiable step. Trying to move the bed while it is still inflated can put immense pressure on the air chambers and the pump connections. This can cause leaks and permanent damage to the Firmness Control System.

- The Step-by-Step Disassembly Guide

Follow these simple steps to safely take apart your Sleep Number bed. This process is straightforward and will protect your investment.

Step 1: Deflate the Air Chambers

Using your remote or the app, completely deflate both sides of the bed. Set both sides to a Sleep Number of 0. For many remotes, there is a function that will allow you to deflate both sides at once. Wait until you can no longer hear the pump running and the mattress is completely flat.

Step 2: Disconnect the Pump

First, unplug the Firmness Control System pump from the wall outlet. Then, carefully disconnect the air hoses from the pump itself. Most models have a simple push-button connector on each hose. Press the button and gently pull the hose out. Make sure to handle the pump with care; it is the brain of your bed.

Step 3: Unzip the Mattress Cover

Unzip the top panel of your mattress cover completely. This will expose all the internal components of the bed, just like you saw when it was first assembled.

Step 4: Remove and Pack the Components

Remove the internal parts in order. It's a good idea to label them or take a photo to remember the sequence for reassembly.

• Remove the foam border walls (the side and center walls).
• Roll up and remove any foam comfort layers or pads.
• Carefully remove the now-deflated air chambers. It is best to roll them up from the head to the foot, rather than folding them, to avoid creases.
• Pack the pump and the remote in a box with plenty of padding to protect them during the move.

Step 5: Pack the Mattress Cover and Base

You can now fold the mattress cover and pack it. If you have a Sleep Number modular base, you can disassemble the legs and side panels according to the manufacturer's instructions.

- How Do You Reassemble the Bed?

Reassembly is simply the reverse of this process. Lay out the mattress cover, insert the components in the correct order, connect the hoses to the pump (making sure they are not kinked!), plug it in, and inflate. It is a good idea to visit the Sleep Number website for a video tutorial specific to your bed model.
