WHAT IS A SLEEP NUMBER
®
SETTING?
Your SLEEP NUMBER
®
setting is a number between 0–100 that represents the ideal combination of mattress comfort, firm-
ness and support for your body, giving you the best night’s sleep possible.
YOUR SLEEP NUMBER
®
SETTING
When you shopped for The Sleep Number Bed by Select Comfort
™
, you may have discovered your Sleep Number setting.
You should use this as a starting point when setting the firmness of your SLEEP NUMBER
®
mattress. If you don’t have your
Sleep Number
setting, this section will take you through the process of finding your Sleep Number setting and will provide
you with additional information about your SLEEP NUMBER
®
bed. If you don’t already have your Sleep Number setting or
if you would like to experiment with finding a different Sleep Number setting, use the instructions below.
EVALUATING YOUR COMFORT LEVEL
As you are customizing the Sleep Number bed for your optimum comfort level, you will want to evaluate your sleep posi-
tion and determine how you feel as compared to the diagrams below, then make adjustments to your firmness or pillow
if needed. Your pillow should help keep your body aligned properly, otherwise it may interfere with your ability to sleep
comfortably. Visit sleepnumber.com or one of our stores to get fit for a perfect pillow and see the extensive selection of
innovative pillows we carry for all sleep positions and fill preferences.
GIVE IT TIME
It sometimes takes several nights of sleeping at different settings
to discover your ideal Sleep Number setting. If you would like
to experiment further with your Sleep Number, you may want to
consider keeping a sleep journal. When you have found a
Sleep Number setting where you feel comfortable, log this
number into your sleep journal. Try to sleep at this Sleep Number
setting for three to four nights, adjusting in increments of 5 or 10
only. It will take your body that long to become accustomed to
a new sleep surface. After five nights, reevaluate your comfort
level and log the new setting into your sleep journal, adding
comments if helpful. Repeat the process until you have found the
perfect setting for you.
If, after trying four different Sleep Number settings, you have
not found your ideal Sleep Number setting and would like
additional assistance, go to sleepnumber.com and click on
Customer Center or call the number on the back cover to reach a
Customer Service Representative. Our trained Customer Service
Representatives may be able to recommend adjustments, make
suggestions or pinpoint concerns that might be contributing to
less than ideal comfort. Improving your sleep is our expertise.
