What You'll Learn
Remote compatibility with Sleep Number i8
The Sleep Number i8 bed is compatible with a variety of remotes, depending on the type of bed you have and the year it was purchased. If you bought your bed between 2013 and 2016, you'll need the traditional remote. If you have a 360 bed purchased between 2016 and 2023 (or in some rare cases, 2024), you'll need the 360 remote. If you have The Sleep Number Smart Bed (any bed currently listed on the Sleep Number website), purchased in 2022 or later, you'll need the smart remote.
The smart remote is compatible with current-generation Sleep Number smart beds with FlexFit 1, FlexFit 2, or FlexFit 3 smart adjustable bases purchased on or after 4/11/23. It is also compatible with the Climate360 smart bed.
You can purchase a remote from Sleep Number online or by calling your local Sleep Number store. You can also use points from the Inner Circle rewards app to buy a remote.
It's important to note that not all remotes are compatible with every bed, so be sure to check the purchase date and type of your bed before selecting a remote.

Using the Sleep Number app
To use the Sleep Number app, first, make sure your phone or tablet is compatible with Sleep Number smart beds. You can check this by going to the Google Play or App Store and seeing if your device is compatible with the latest version of the Sleep Number app. It is important to keep your app updated to avoid issues such as app crashes.
Next, you will need to enable Bluetooth on your device to connect to your bed. Go to your device settings and turn on Bluetooth. Then, allow your bed to access your device via Bluetooth in your device privacy settings. If you are using an Apple device, you will need to turn on Bluetooth in your device privacy settings. For Android devices, you will need to turn on location settings to allow the Sleep Number app to connect to your bed.
Now, open the Sleep Number app and log in. You can use the app without logging in, but logging in will give you access to all the features of your smart bed. If you are not logged in, tap 'Adjust Your Smart Bed' on the login screen. If you have multiple Sleep Number smart beds, you will be able to select which bed you want to control and will then be taken to the 'My Smart Bed' screen.
From here, you can adjust your Sleep Number setting, change your bed position, and control accessories such as Underbed Lighting and Foot Warming. You can also use the app to find and save your ideal Sleep Number setting.

Buying a remote
If you're looking to buy a remote for your Sleep Number i8 bed, there are a few options available to you. Firstly, it's important to note that not all remotes are compatible with your bed. If you purchased your bed between 2013 and 2016, you'll need the traditional remote. If you bought it between 2016 and 2022, you'll likely need the 360 remote. If you purchased your bed after 2022, you'll need the Sleep Number Smart Bed remote.
You can buy a remote directly from Sleep Number by visiting their website or calling your local Sleep Number store. They may not have the remote in stock at the store, but they can order it for you. Additionally, if you have a Sleep Number bed, you can earn points through the Inner Circle rewards app and use those points to purchase a remote for $49.
Another option is to buy a remote online through third-party websites such as Amazon. However, be cautious when purchasing used remotes from sites like eBay, as they may be more expensive than buying directly from Sleep Number, and compatibility may be an issue.
When purchasing a remote, consider the features you require. For example, some remotes have a dimmer option for the display, while others don't. Additionally, some Sleep Number beds come with multiple remotes, each serving a different purpose, such as controlling the lights and speakers.

Dimmer settings
The Sleep Number i8 remote does not have a dimmer setting for the display on the remote. However, the under-bed light on adjustable beds has a dimmer option.
To adjust the dimness of the under-bed light, you can use the remote control provided with the Sleep Number i8 bed. This remote allows you to control the lighting behind the bed, as well as the speakers.
It is worth noting that some users have mentioned that the remote can be quite bright and have expressed interest in a dimmer option for the remote display. However, as of now, there doesn't seem to be a dimmer setting available for the remote display itself.
If you are looking for a way to reduce the brightness of the remote display, you may need to contact Sleep Number customer support or refer to the product manual for further guidance on adjusting the display settings.

Remote pairing
The process of pairing your Sleep Number remote depends on the type of remote and bed you have. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to pair your remote for different Sleep Number bed models and remote types:
DualTemp™ Layer Remote Pairing:
- If you have multiple DualTemp Layers, place one remote next to each fan to identify which remote is paired with which side.
- Unplug the DualTemp Layer power cord from the wall outlet. If pairing two remotes on the same bed, unplug both sides.
- Insert 2 AA batteries into the back of the first remote. Ensure the positive side faces the bottom of the remote.
- Within 60 seconds, plug in the first fan and follow the on-screen prompts.
- Input a name for the remote to identify which side of the bed it controls. It is normal for the fan to turn on after naming the remote.
- Repeat the process for the second remote if necessary. Wait 5 minutes before pairing the second remote and fan.
Sleep Number Smart Bed Remote Pairing:
- Ensure your remote has new AA batteries.
- Remove all non-bedding items from the bed and make sure it is plugged in and receiving power.
- Navigate to the Settings menu on your remote.
- Select "Pair Bed."
- Press and hold the "Favorite" button on the side of the adjustable base for about 5 seconds until it starts flashing blue, then release it.
- Follow the prompts on the remote.
- If successful, the Bluetooth icon in the top left corner will change from blinking to solid, indicating complete pairing.
Universal Remote Pairing:
- Install two AA batteries in the remote.
- Unplug and plug in the bed.
- Press "Enter" on the remote to continue.
- If you have a FlexFit adjustable base, the remote will prompt you to pair with that system as well.
Innovation Series Remote Pairing:
- Insert a 9-volt battery into the remote.
- Unplug and plug in the bed.
Note: If you have a Sleep Number 360 smart bed remote, simply insert two AA batteries, and the remote will guide you through the pairing process automatically.
