If you’re moving or just need to disassemble your Sleep Number Bed for any reason, it can be a bit intimidating. I’ve been there, but after a few times, I learned how to take it apart quickly and efficiently.
Step by Step Guide
Step 1: Gather Tools
Before you start, you’ll need the following tools:
- Flathead screwdriver
- Phillips head screwdriver
- Adjustable wrench
- Needle-nose pliers
Step 2: Remove the Mattress
The first step is to remove the mattress from the bed frame. Simply unzip the cover and lift the mattress off the frame.
Step 3: Remove the Base
The base of the Sleep Number Bed is held together by four bolts. Use a wrench to remove these bolts and separate the base into two pieces.
Step 4: Remove the Air Chambers
The air chambers are located inside the base of the bed. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screws that hold the air chambers in place. Once the screws are removed, carefully lift the air chambers out of the base.
Step 5: Remove the Pump and Hoses
The pump and hoses are located at the foot of the bed. Disconnect the hoses from the pump and use a flathead screwdriver to remove the screws that hold the pump in place. Once the screws are removed, carefully lift the pump out of the bed.
Top 10 Tips and Ideas
- Label all the pieces as you take them apart. This will make it easier to put everything back together later.
- Keep all the screws and bolts in a bag or container so you don’t lose any.
- Make sure to disconnect the hoses from the pump before removing the pump from the bed.
- Have a friend or family member help you lift the base and air chambers out of the bed.
- Use a vacuum to clean any dust or debris from the base and air chambers.
- Use a wrench to tighten the bolts on the base when putting it back together.
- Make sure the air chambers are properly aligned before screwing them back into the base.
- Double-check that all the screws and bolts are tightened before putting the mattress back on the bed.
- Plan ahead and give yourself enough time to take the bed apart and put it back together.
- Don’t hesitate to call customer service if you have any questions or concerns.

Question & Answer
Q: Can I disassemble my Sleep Number Bed by myself?
A: While it is possible to disassemble your Sleep Number Bed by yourself, it may be easier and safer to have a friend or family member help you. Some of the pieces can be heavy and awkward to move, so having an extra set of hands can make the process go more smoothly.

A: You will need a few basic tools, such as a screwdriver, wrench, and pliers, but you shouldn’t need any special tools. The instructions that come with your bed should specify what tools you will need.
FAQs
Q: Do I need to take apart my Sleep Number Bed to move it?
A: It’s not always necessary to take apart your Sleep Number Bed to move it, but it can make the process easier. If you have a large enough truck or trailer, you may be able to move the bed as-is. However, if you’re moving a long distance or have limited space, disassembling the bed can make it easier to transport.
Q: Can I clean the air chambers and pump while they’re still inside the bed?
A: Yes, you can clean the air chambers and pump while they’re still inside the bed. However, it may be easier to clean them if you remove them from the bed first. This will give you better access and make it easier to clean all the nooks and crannies.
