Connecting the remote to the mattress

To connect your Sleep Number remote to your mattress, follow these steps:

Begin by turning on your remote control. Usually, this is done by pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds. The location of the power button may vary depending on your remote model, so refer to your user manual if you have trouble locating it.

Once the remote is turned on, locate the "Connect" or "Pair" button on your mattress. This button is typically located near the air hose or the control box of the mattress. Press and hold this button for a few seconds until you see a blinking light or hear a beeping sound, indicating that it's in pairing mode.

Point the remote directly at the mattress, specifically towards the "Connect" or "Pair" button. On your remote, press and hold the "Connect" or "Pair" button, which is usually located near the power button. The remote will now start searching for your mattress.

After a few seconds, the remote and the mattress should be connected. You'll know they're connected when the blinking light on the mattress becomes solid, or when the remote displays a confirmation message or a connected icon. At this point, you can release the buttons.

If the connection is successful, try adjusting the firmness or comfort settings of your mattress using the remote control. Make sure that the changes you make on the remote are reflected in the mattress's adjustments. If not, double-check the connection process and try again.

These steps should help you connect your Sleep Number remote to your mattress. Remember that the specific steps might vary slightly depending on your Sleep Number bed model and remote version. If you encounter any issues, refer to your product manuals or reach out to Sleep Number customer support for further assistance.

Adjusting the firmness of the mattress

Sleep Number beds allow you to adjust the firmness of your mattress to your liking. You can do this via the Sleep Number app or with a remote control.

To adjust the firmness of your mattress using the Sleep Number app, first ensure that you have the most up-to-date version of the app. Then, log in and select the bed you want to control from the list of available beds. From the 'My Smart Bed' screen, you can adjust your Sleep Number setting, which ranges from a firmest setting of 100 to a very soft setting. Increasing the number will provide a firmer mattress, while decreasing it will make the mattress softer. Once you find your desired setting, you can save it as your favourite.

If you prefer to use a remote, you can purchase one separately from Sleep Number. Lie in your normal sleeping position with the remote in hand and adjust the setting until you feel aligned, supported, and comfortable. Similar to the app, increasing the number will make the mattress firmer, while decreasing it will make it softer. Once you've found your ideal setting, you can save it by pressing 'Stop' or 'Enter' on the remote.

It's worth noting that you can also inflate the mattress manually or with a foot pump if needed, although this requires more effort. Additionally, some older Sleep Number beds may have built-in pumps that can be used to adjust the firmness.

Finding your Sleep Number setting

To find your Sleep Number setting, you can use either the Sleep Number app or your remote. The process for using the app and the remote is slightly different. Here's how to do it:

Using the Sleep Number App

  • Log into the Sleep Number app.
  • Tap "Smart Bed".
  • Tap "Sleep Number Setting".
  • Adjust the bed to your Sleep Number setting.
  • Tap "Adjust to Favorite" to save your Sleep Number setting.
  • Press the Heart button and select "Yes" to confirm your favorite Sleep Number setting.

Using the Remote

  • Lie in bed in your normal sleeping position with your remote in hand.
  • Press the "Home" button on your remote.
  • Select "Sleep Number".
  • Press the "Favorite" button.
  • Select "Find Your Sleep Number".
  • Select "Continue".
  • Your bed will now get firmer, increasing to 100, which is the firmest Sleep Number setting.
  • Relax and pay attention to how your body feels.
  • After reaching the firmest setting, your bed will get softer. Again, pay attention to how your body feels.
  • When your body feels perfectly supported, with no discomfort at your pressure points, select "Enter" on the remote.
  • You can save your Sleep Number setting by selecting "Stop at Current Setting" in the app or "Enter" on the remote.

Additional Tips:

  • Make sure your pillow is fully supporting the curve of your neck. The bottom of the pillow should reach your shoulders. If you're a back sleeper, you can place the pillow slightly under your shoulders.
  • Your Sleep Number setting will likely change over time as your body and support needs change.
  • If you're not comfortable with your current Sleep Number setting, try adjusting it by 5 or 10. Increasing your setting will make your mattress firmer, while decreasing it will make it softer.
  • If you have the Sleep Number app, review your sleep score and data to get a more detailed look at how you're sleeping.

Pairing the remote to the mattress

Unfortunately, I don't have access to the specific website you mentioned, so I am unable to generate an answer based on that source. However, I can provide a general response on how to pair a Sleep Number remote to a mattress. Please let me know if you would like me to follow a specific format or tone in the response.

To pair your Sleep Number remote to your mattress, you can follow these general steps:

Start by locating the pairing button on your Sleep Number mattress or pump. It is usually located near the power cord or the air hose connection.

Next, press and hold the pair button on the remote for a few seconds. The remote will enter pairing mode, and you may see a blinking light or a message on the display indicating that it is ready to pair.

While the remote is in pairing mode, quickly press the pair button on the mattress or pump. The two devices should connect and establish a link.

Once the remote and the mattress are paired, you may need to confirm the connection by adjusting the firmness settings or checking the remote's display to ensure it matches your mattress's settings.

If you have a dual-chamber mattress or a FlexFit adjustable base, there may be additional steps or considerations for pairing the remote to each chamber or base. You may need to refer to the specific instructions provided with your Sleep Number setup for those cases.

Remember to consult the user manual or seek support from Sleep Number if you encounter any issues during the pairing process.

Saving a position as a favourite

Once your remote is connected, you can save a position as a favourite. If you have a Sleep Number FlexFit™ adjustable base, use the Sleep Number button on the side of your bed to adjust to your favourite position. You can adjust the head and foot of the bed to your desired position or select one of the preset bed positions. Once the bed is in the desired position, select 'Save as Favourite'. Tap the back arrow to return to the Smart Bed Controls screen.

You can also save a position as a favourite by pressing the star button or holding down the button at the top of the remote. Additionally, you can use the Sleep Number app to save your favourite Sleep Number setting. Open the app and press the "Adjust to Favourite" button. Select the side of the bed you want to control, press the Heart button, and select "Yes" to save the current setting as your favourite.
