Fold out the legs of the base

To fold out the legs of the base of your Sleep Number 360 smart bed, start by locating the legs and identifying their folding mechanism. Some beds have legs that fold outward, while others fold inward or have a telescopic design. Once you understand the folding mechanism, grasp each leg firmly and extend it to its fully open position. Lock the legs in place if your model has a locking feature. This will ensure the bed remains stable and secure.

If your bed has a central support beam, you may need to adjust its height as well. Typically, this beam has an adjustable height mechanism, allowing you to raise or lower it to match the leg height. Make sure the beam is securely locked at the appropriate height.

When unfolding the legs, ensure they are positioned evenly and securely. The legs should be perpendicular to the base and firmly planted on the ground. Check that all casters or wheels, if applicable, are also locked and providing additional stability.

If your bed has a removable base or legs, there may be thumb screws or other fasteners that need to be removed before folding out the legs. Make sure to keep these screws safe, as you will need them to secure the legs when reassembling the bed.

After unfolding and securing the legs, carefully lower the base of the bed onto the legs. Ensure the weight is evenly distributed and that the base is securely attached to the legs. Once the base is in place, you can adjust the leg height to your desired level, ensuring it is even on both sides.

Remove the thumb screws

To remove the thumb screws, you will need to locate the zipper at the head of your bed and unzip all the way around the mattress cover. If your bed has two zippers, remember to unzip the bottom zipper first. Once you have removed the top panel of the mattress cover and the foam comfort pad, you can then disconnect your pump and remove the air chamber(s). You will need a set of air chamber caps or white closure caps, which can be found inside the mattress or near the pump at the foot of the bed. If you cannot find them, you can purchase replacements from your local store or online.

With the necessary caps in hand, follow these steps to remove the thumb screws:

  • Disconnect the hoses from your mattress.
  • Attach the white closure caps to the disconnected hoses.
  • Locate the thumb screws and try to remove them with a screwdriver. If they do not budge, proceed to the next step.
  • Try using a pair of pliers to turn and loosen the screws. You can also use mole grips to gain more leverage. If you are concerned about damaging the bed or screws, try holding a towel or flannel over the screws to protect them while turning with the pliers.
  • If the thumb screws are still not moving, try pushing on the object they hold to relieve pressure.

Once the thumb screws are removed, you can continue with the remaining steps to take down your Sleep Number 360 smart bed. Remember, this is a two-person job, and you should always refer to the official Sleep Number support website for the most accurate and up-to-date instructions.

Disconnect the wire harness

To disconnect the wire harness of your Sleep Number 360 smart bed, you'll need to follow these steps:

First, locate the wire harness. It should be near the head of the bed, connecting the left and right sides. Once you've found it, you can proceed to the next step.

Now, carefully disconnect the wire harness. Gently pull at the head of the connector while pressing down on the tab. You may hear air releasing from the hose, which is normal. Ensure you only disconnect the wire harness and do not tamper with any other screws or components unless instructed.

If your bed model includes a temperature sensor strip wire, you will need to disconnect this as well by pressing the latch and pulling at the head of the wire. Again, this is only applicable to certain models, so refer to your specific model for clarity.

At this point, you should have successfully disconnected the wire harness. Remember to keep track of which wires were connected to which ports for easier reassembly. Additionally, make sure to unplug the bed from any power source before proceeding with further disassembly to ensure your safety.

If you are disconnecting the wire harness as part of a larger disassembly process, continue with the subsequent steps outlined in your specific model's disassembly instructions.

Remove the hose clamps

Before you begin to take down your Sleep Number 360 smart bed, it is important to note that Sleep Number does not recommend taking their smart beds apart. This is a two-person job. If you do proceed, you will need a set of white closure caps or air chamber caps, which can be found near your pump at the foot of the bed. Moving the mattress without these caps can damage your bed.

Now, to remove the hose clamps:

Firstly, disconnect the hoses from your mattress. Locate the white air chamber cap(s) and remove them. You may need pliers to reach and open the hose clamps, or even adjustable pliers/wrenches if the clamps are hard to reach. Alternatively, diagonal cutters can be used under the buckle of the clamp, prying up until the clamp releases. If you are happy to cut the hose, you can use a hack saw or die grinder to cut just under the clamp. This will allow you to use a hose cutter to get a secure fit and reuse the clamp.

Once the clamps are removed, you can follow the remaining steps to take down your Sleep Number 360 smart bed. Remember to fill the mattress to 100 on both sides and attach the white closure caps before moving the mattress. Disconnect and box your pump, and separate the left and right sides of the base.

Remove the front and head rails

To remove the front and head rails of your Sleep Number 360 smart bed, start by folding open the legs of the base completely. Next, remove the two thumb screws at the bottom and then the four thumb screws at the head. Make sure to not remove any other screws. Once you've removed the necessary screws, disconnect the wire harness that connects the left and right sides at the head of the bed. Additionally, remove the hose of the clamps along the foot rail.

Now, you can remove the front and head rails. Simply pop them out of the corners by pulling up forcefully. Be careful when handling the rails, as they are heavy and can bend if not handled properly. It is recommended to have someone assist you in lifting and carrying them. With the rails removed, your bed bases are now separated. Flip them onto their sides and proceed to remove the legs.
