Sleep Number beds are notoriously complex to disassemble, with the process varying depending on the model. Before taking apart a Sleep Number bed, it is important to carefully plan each step and refer to the official instructions and manual. The first step is to deflate the mattress to 100. Then, the air hoses on each side of the bed need to be detached and air chamber caps placed on the connectors. Next, the pump should be disconnected and boxed. To disassemble the base, the bolts need to be loosened and removed, and the decking panels and side rails should be slid off.

What You'll Learn
Deflate the mattress and detach the air hoses
Before you begin, it is important to note that disassembling a Sleep Number bed is a two-person job, so make sure you have someone to help you. Now, to deflate the mattress and detach the air hoses, follow these steps:
First, locate the air chamber caps. These are usually found near the air pump at the head or foot of your bed. Your Sleep Number bed typically comes with two white air chamber caps, which are essential for preventing damage to the mattress during transit. Once you have located the air pump, lift up the top or bottom of your bed to find the bag containing the air chamber caps.
Next, deflate your mattress to 100 on both sides. You can do this using your Sleep Number remote or the app on your phone. This step ensures that your mattress is lighter and easier to handle during the moving process.
Now, you can detach the air hoses. Start by lifting the right side of the bed to locate the air hose running into the mattress. Gently pull on the tube to remove it from the bed. Then, press one of the white air chamber caps over the hose opening. Repeat this process for the left side of the mattress. For FlexFit beds, remember to disconnect the foot-warming connector as well.
If you have a traditional bed with a duvet-style mattress, you will need to unzip the mattress to expose the air hoses. Locate the zipper between the pillow cover and base at the head of the bed and unzip it. If your mattress has two zippers, be sure to unzip the bottom one.
Once all the air hoses have been detached and capped, you can move on to the next step of dismantling your Sleep Number adjustable base. Remember to take precautions to avoid damage to your mattress and to ensure a smooth reassembly process.

Remove the mattress retainers
To remove the mattress retainers, you will need a 7/16-inch socket wrench. Loosen the hex head bolts with the socket wrench and then remove the circular mattress retainers. The number of retainers will depend on the size of the bed, but there should be between 2 and 8 of them. Once removed, bag all hardware to avoid losing any parts during the move.
If you have a modular base, you will need to push the decking panels to the side and slide them off the frame. Remove the pins that hold the panels of your side rails together. If your base has bed legs, be sure to unscrew the wing nuts to fully detach them.
To remove the mattress retainers from the bed's base, use a socket wrench. This will allow you to remove the rails by unscrewing the screws at the head and foot of the base.
For a Sleep Number bed with an adjustable base, the process is a little different. First, put the bed in a flat position and unzip the mattress zipper located at the head. Then, find the grey tab on the side where the hose attaches to the air chamber. Push in the tab and gently pull the hose out of the mattress cover. After that, you can remove the air chambers, foam border walls, and corner locks until you get to the bottom of the mattress.
For a traditional Sleep Number mattress, the process is as follows: locate the zipper at the head of the bed and unzip all the way around the mattress cover. If your bed has two zippers, unzip the bottom zipper. Then, remove the top panel of the mattress cover and the foam comfort pad.

Disconnect the pump and remove the air chambers
Before disconnecting the pump and removing the air chambers, it is important to deflate your Sleep Number bed to 100. This will make your mattress lighter and easier to move. You can do this using your Sleep Number remote or the app on your phone.
Now, locate the air chamber caps near the air pump. Your Sleep Number bed comes with two white air chamber caps that are necessary for moving it, as they help prevent damage while in transit. These caps are usually stored inside the mattress or inside the base with the pump. If you cannot find the caps, you can order them online or purchase them from a Sleep Number store.
Once you have the caps, lift up the top or bottom of your bed and look for a bag with the two white air chamber caps. Then, detach the air hoses on each side of the bed and place the air chamber caps on the hose connectors.
To disconnect the pump, simply unplug it. You may also need to detach the hose from the foot rail. If you are taking the bed apart to replace the pump, you may need to inspect the air chamber and hose connections for any damage. To do this, disconnect the hose from the air chamber by pushing on the tab on the connector while gently pulling.

Remove the foam parts
To remove the foam parts of a Sleep Number bed, follow these steps:
First, unzip the mattress zipper located at the head of the bed. If your bed is a Duvet-style and has two zippers, be sure to unzip the bottom zipper. Then, with the mattress unzipped, locate the grey tab on the side where the hose attaches to the air chamber. Push in the tab and gently pull the hose out of the mattress cover.
Next, remove the foam comfort pad, as well as the rest of the foam parts, including the foam border walls and corner locks, and set them aside. You can fold or roll the foam parts for easier packing and transportation.
It is important to note that disassembling a Sleep Number bed is a two-person job, and you should always refer to the official disassembly instructions and your bed's user manual for model-specific instructions. Taking the bed apart incorrectly can void your warranty.
