Sleep Number beds are adjustable via a remote control or a smartphone app. The remote controls the firmness of the mattress and other features like the FlexFit adjustable base. The remote needs to be connected to the mattress, and the process differs depending on the model. For instance, the Sleep Number 360 smart bed remote automatically guides the user through the connection process after inserting two AA batteries. Other remotes, like the Universal remote, require the user to unplug and plug in the bed after inserting the batteries. The 12-button traditional remote is not compatible with Sleep Number 360 smart FlexFit adjustable bases or DualTemp layers. Sleep Number offers a range of remote models, including the 5-button, 3-button, 9-button, 7-button, and 12-button options, each with its own quick start guide.
