Adjusting The Sleep Number Setting For Comfort And Support
A significant advantage of the Sleep Number bed is the ability to adjust the firmness to your preferred level of comfort and support.

At home, you can use the remote or SleepIQ app to adjust your Sleep Number setting according to your preferences.
For different sleep positions, Sleep Number provides recommendations to optimize comfort and support. Stomach sleepers may prefer a firmer setting to maintain proper spinal alignment, while side sleepers benefit from a softer setting to relieve pressure points. Back sleepers often find their sweet spot with a medium-firm setting to provide sufficient support while contouring to the natural curves of the body.
For individuals experiencing back pain, Sleep Number offers specific bed models and adjustments that can help alleviate discomfort. By finding the right combination of firmness and support, back pain sufferers can achieve a more restful and pain-free sleep experience. Sleep Number also provides suggestions for sleep position-related issues, such as using pillows between the knees or under the pelvis to promote proper spinal alignment and alleviate pressure points.
It’s important to note that the Sleep Number setting should be adjusted based on changes in sleep position, weight, temperature or altitude, soreness from exercise, injuries, or recovery. Continuously assess your comfort and support needs, and be in tune with your body to make necessary adjustments to your Sleep Number setting. By finding the perfect balance, you can enjoy optimal comfort and quality sleep on your Sleep Number bed.
