APPLIANCES & INTERIOR FEATURES
If after trying four different Sleep Number
settings you have not found your ideal Sleep
Number, please call 1-800-318-2231 to reach a
trained Select Comfort Customer Service Repre-
sentative. They may be able to recommend
adjustments, make suggestions, or pinpoint con-
cerns that might be contributing to less than
ideal comfort.
Altering Your Sleep Number:
Unlike an innerspring mattress, a Sleep Num-
ber bed can be personalized at any time to the
changing condition of your body. Some reasons
to alter your Sleep Number include:
•
strained muscles
•
back pain
•
weight change
•
bad sunburn
In addition to personalizing your bed for a
great night’s sleep, you can also alter the mat-
tress firmness when you wake in the morning in
order to:
•
assist getting out of bed, if needed
•
achieve a “fuller” bed appearance.
Evaluate Your Comfort Level
Right
•
Neck and back are aligned in the same posi-
tion as when you are upright.
•
No discomfort at shoulder and hip pressure
points.
•
You feel the mattress support the small of
your back (back sleepers) or the curve of
your side (side sleepers).
Wrong
•
Body alignment is not straight.
•
Your pillow* makes your head tilt at an
angle to the rest of your body.
•
You feel discomfort from pressure in your
neck, shoulders, back, hips, or legs.
*Your pillow should help keep your body
aligned properly, otherwise, it may interfere
with your ability to sleep comfortably.
What if I am not comfortable on the Sleep
Number I was given when I purchased by
Sleep Number Bed by Select Comfort?
Since you probably only spent a few minutes
getting your SLEEP NUMBER in the store or
through other means, you may find that you need
to explore other settings in order to pinpoint
your ideal comfort level. Please use the easy
step-by-step process on this page to set your
Sleep Number. If you still do not feel comfort-
able after going through this process, contact a
Select Comfort Customer Service Representa-
tive at 1-800-318-2231. Please have your Sleep
Journal with you when you call so you can tell
your representative what settings you have used.
Why do my numbers fluctuate?
RV users may find that the numbers fluctuate
fairly frequently due to changes in temperature
within the vehicle and changes in elevations
when you travel. Be sure to check your settings
when you first lay down on the bed and adjust it
as necessary.
It is normal for the numbers on your remote
to fluctuate slightly and it is not necessary to
make any adjustments. Some reasons for the
numbers to fluctuate include: weight differences
on the bed, change in sleeping position, heat
from an electric blanket, change in room temper-
ature, or weather.
However, if you notice that your bed is get-
ting softer night after night and your Sleep Num-
ber consistently gets smaller, check to make sure
that you have a tight connection between the
hose and the air chamber. You should hear it
“click” when it connects.
Mattress Care
Cleaning the Mattress Cover:
We recommend spot cleaning your mattress
cover with sparkling water (soda) or mild deter-
gent. DO NOT dry clean the mattress cover or
put it in a washing machine. Also, please do not
apply stain-guard, as it may cause yellowing of
the fabric.
For allergy sufferers, an added benefit of
owning a Sleep Number mattress is the ability to
