What You'll Learn
Lie down in your usual sleep position before using the remote
To increase the firmness of your Sleep Number bed using your remote, it is important to first lie down in your usual sleep position. This is because your weight and position affect the air pressure and feel of your bed. If you have multiple sleeping positions, try the one you usually wake up in, as this is the position you spend the most time in at night.
Once you are settled in your normal sleep position, you can begin to use the remote to increase the firmness. The remote controls the firmness of the mattress, as well as any additional features like a FlexFit adjustable base. To prepare for this step, check that your bed is plugged in and that the connections to the pump that controls the bed (the Firmness Control system) are securely in place.
If you have a Sleep Number 360 smart bed remote, insert two AA batteries, and the remote will automatically guide you through the connection process. For an Innovation Series remote, insert a nine-volt battery, then unplug and plug in the bed. To connect a Universal remote, install two AA batteries, unplug and plug in the bed, and then press "Enter" to continue.
After your remote is connected, you can use it to increase the firmness of your mattress. Press the Right/Left or Side button to indicate the side of the bed you want to control. Then, press the "Menu" button to access the main menu and select "Settings." Once in Settings, choose "Find Your Sleep Number," and the remote will guide you through the process of increasing the firmness to your ideal setting.

Select your side of the bed to control
To select your side of the bed to control using your Sleep Number remote, first lay down on your side of the bed in your usual sleep position. Then, press the Right/Left or Side button on your remote to indicate your side of the bed.
If you have a 360 remote, press and hold the side button, and it will flash. Follow the prompts quickly and skip the dual-temp option. If you have a mattress only or an integrated base, the easiest way is to unplug it from the wall, skip the side button question, and then plug in the firmness control system. Hit okay, and it will start searching. Replug your bed, and follow the rest of the prompts while skipping all other options.
If you have a Sleep Number 360 smart bed remote, insert two AA batteries, and the remote will automatically guide you through the connection process. For an Innovation Series remote, insert a nine-volt battery, and then unplug and plug in the bed.
You can also use the Sleep Number app to select your side of the bed to control. First, make sure your app is up to date. Then, open the app and log in. Tap "Adjust Your Smart Bed." You will see "Scanning for beds" on the screen. Select the bed you wish to control. If you have more than one Sleep Number smart bed, you will see a list of available beds to connect to. After you select which bed to control, you will be taken to the "My Smart Bed" screen, where you can adjust your Sleep Number setting.

Adjust the firmness level to your preference
Adjusting the firmness level of your Sleep Number bed to your preference is a straightforward process. The remote controls the firmness of the mattress, allowing you to find your ideal setting. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you adjust the firmness level:
First, ensure that your remote is properly set up and connected to your mattress. For a Sleep Number 360 smart bed remote, insert two AA batteries, and the remote will guide you through the connection process. If you have an Innovation Series remote, insert a nine-volt battery, then unplug and plug in the bed. For a Universal remote, install two AA batteries, unplug and plug in the bed, and press "Enter" to continue.
Once your remote is set up, you can start adjusting the firmness. Lie down on your side of the bed in your usual sleep position. Press the Right/Left or Side button on the remote to indicate your side of the bed. Then, press the "Menu" button to access the main menu.
In the main menu, select "Settings" and choose the "Find Your Sleep Number" option. The remote will guide you through the process of finding your ideal firmness setting. The bed will get firmer, increasing to 100, which is the firmest setting. Pay attention to how your body feels as the firmness increases.
When you feel that you have reached the optimal firmness level, press "Stop" or "Enter" on the remote to save your setting. You can also save this setting as your favorite by pressing the Heart button and selecting "Yes."
It is recommended to sleep at your chosen Sleep Number setting for two to five nights. If you still don't feel comfortable, you can make adjustments by increasing or decreasing the setting by 5 or 10. For example, if your current setting is 35 and you want a firmer mattress, you can increase it to 40.
Remember that your Sleep Number setting may change over time as your body and support needs evolve. You can always repeat the above process to find a new setting that suits your preferences. Additionally, if you have the Sleep Number app, you can use it to adjust your firmness setting and control other features of your bed.
