Use the directional switch on the pump

If you don't have a remote, you can inflate your Sleep Number bed manually using the directional switch on the pump. The directional switch is located on top of the pump and will override the remote control.

To inflate your Sleep Number bed, first, make sure the pump is plugged in. Once connected, the bed will inflate. This takes approximately 20 minutes. If your mattress is not inflating, check if there are any leaks. You can identify a leak by listening for any escaping air. A leak might come from a loose fitting. To fix, tighten the fitting with your fingers or grips. If the bed has been moved to access the pump, there could be a kink in the hose line. To resolve this, straighten the kink to allow uninterrupted airflow.

If the pump is not working, you can try unplugging the central pump unit from the outlet. Leave the pump unplugged for a short time, then plug it back in. At the same time, press both the upper and lower buttons on the remote. This will reset the unit's circuit.

If you don't have a pump, you can use a foot pump or a battery-operated camping mattress pump.

Use the SleepIQ app

If you are struggling to inflate your Sleep Number bed, you can use the SleepIQ app on your phone. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do this:

Firstly, download the Sleep Number app from the App Store for iOS devices or the Google Play Store for Android devices. Ensure that you have the latest version of the app to avoid any issues. Once you have downloaded the app, register your Sleep Number smart bed account. You will need your home Wi-Fi network name and password for this step.

Next, confirm that your bed is fully assembled, connected to a power source, and that no one is on the bed. Turn on Bluetooth on your device and enable location services. Stay within 8 feet of your bed until it is online. Log into the Sleep Number app and tap "Smart Bed" and then the "Settings" icon in the upper right corner. Open "Bed Settings" and follow the instructions provided by the app. You will be guided through the process step by step.

If you are having trouble getting your bed online, you can try adjusting your bed using the Sleep Number app while logged out. On the login screen, you will see a "Scanning for beds" message. Tap "Adjust Your Smart Bed" and select the bed you wish to control.

If you are still experiencing issues, try force-closing the app and reopening it. If the problem persists, you can try troubleshooting. For example, you can try unplugging the central pump unit from the outlet and plugging it back in while simultaneously pressing both the upper and lower buttons on the remote.

Remember, you can also inflate your Sleep Number bed manually or with a foot pump if needed.

Manually inflate the mattress

If you don't have a remote, you can use the SleepIQ app on your phone to inflate your Sleep Number bed. You can also use a directional switch on top of the pump to override the remote control.

If the remote control and pump are not working, you can manually inflate the bed. This will not affect any warranty as you are only introducing air into the system due to a failed pump. First, contact technical support. If you want to try to fix the problem yourself, you can try unplugging the central pump unit from the outlet. Leave the pump unplugged for a short time, then plug it back in and, simultaneously, press both the upper and lower buttons on the remote. This will reset the unit's circuit.

If you don't have access to a power outlet, you can use a foot pump or a battery-operated camping mattress pump to inflate the bed. This will require more effort, but it can be done. Ensure that the valves to all the lines are closed off to prevent air from escaping.

Use a foot pump

If you don't have access to Wi-Fi, you can use a foot pump to inflate your Sleep Number bed. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

First, locate the pump and hoses. The pump is usually located at the head or foot of the bed, depending on the model. Once you've found the pump, trace the hose from the air chamber to the pump. Ensure that the hoses are not kinked, bent, or running at tight angles, as this can restrict airflow.

Next, check that the hoses are firmly secured to the pump and the air chamber. You can do this by lightly pulling on the hoses to ensure they are connected properly. If the hoses are secure and there are no signs of damage, you can move on to the next step.

Now, it's time to start pumping! Use the foot pump to begin inflating the bed. You may need to pump for a while, especially if the air chambers are flat or have very little air in them. If you're inflating the bed after moving it, make sure to fill the mattress to 100 on both sides.

While inflating, pay attention to your Sleep Number setting. Adjust the pump to ensure you reach your desired firmness level. If you need to, you can inflate the bed higher than your preferred setting and then release some air later to fine-tune the firmness.

Once you've reached your desired firmness, it's important to sleep on the bed for a few nights to see how it feels. You may notice that the bed feels different due to room temperature variations or the Responsive Air feature, which automatically adjusts to your Sleep Number setting throughout the night.

If, after a few nights, you feel that the bed is still too firm or soft, you can make adjustments. First, try disconnecting and reconnecting the hoses at the pump to ensure they are securely connected. If that doesn't work, you may need to repeat the process and inflate the bed to a higher or lower setting.

Remember, if you encounter any issues or have any questions during the process, don't hesitate to contact Sleep Number support for further assistance.

Check for leaks

Before you can stop the air loss in your Sleep Number mattress, you must find the source of the leak. To do so, you will need to take apart some of the top layers of your mattress.

First, inflate the bed to about 15 points higher than you normally keep it. Then, strip the bed of its sheets and take off the removable cover that zips all the way around the mattress. If your bed is a duvet-style with two zippers, unzip the bottom zipper. Next, fold back any foam comfort pad and remove the foam border wall at the head of the bed.

Now, locate the hose connections at the head of the bed. Disconnect the hoses to inspect your air chamber and hose connections for breaks or damage. Look for cracks or breaks in the tubing, air chamber connections, and/or missing or damaged O-rings. If you see any damage, you may need to replace the affected parts. If you did not find any broken or damaged parts, move on to capping your mattress.

If you did not find any leaks in the air chamber or hose connections, the leak may be in the Firmness Control System. If you are unsure of where the leak is located, contact Sleep Number customer support for further assistance.
