What if I am not comfortable on the Sleep
Number I was given when I purchased my
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-by-
step process on this page to set your Sleep Num-
ber. If you still do not feel comfortable after
going through this process, contact a Select
Comfort Customer Service Representative at 1-
800-318-2231. Please have your Sleep Journal
with you when you call so you can tell your rep-
resentative 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
air it out by unzipping it or cleaning the surface
of the air chamber with a vacuum attachment or
by applying a bleach solution (use 1 tablespoon
bleach to 1 cup water and apply with a rag to
surface of air chamber only).
Sheets and Blankets:
If you feel too warm, try using a premium
100% cotton mattress pad, 100% cotton sheets,
and an open-weave cotton blanket.
