This article provides some helpful tips if you think your bed's Responsive Air® feature may not be working properly. Learn more about Responsive Air®.
Responsive Air is only available on the SleepIQ app, not the remote.
Things to check
- Make sure your SleepIQ account has been registered.
- Turn Responsive Air on in the SleepIQ app. This feature cannot be controlled by a remote.
- Check both sides of the bed in the SleepIQ app. Each sleeper can choose to turn Responsive Air on or off for their side of the bed.
- If you have a FlexFit adjustable base, keep in mind Responsive Air will not make adjustments when the head or foot of your FlexFit adjustable base is elevated above the snore position.
- Climate360 Customers Only: Responsive Air will turn on regardless of the position and articulation of the bed if Core Temperature is being used.
Other things to keep in mind:
- If two people get in bed on the same side, there will be more pressure causing Responsive Air to let out more air. Your bed may feel softer than usual when one of you leaves the bed or rolls over to the other side. You can use the SleepIQ app or remote to adjust your Sleep Number setting or wait for Responsive Air to make its next adjustment.
- Responsive Air adjustments are designed to be quiet, subtle, and not too frequent. Responsive Air senses your movements and only makes adjustments if a change in air pressure is detected.
- Your bed does not adjust every time you roll over.
- Responsive Air® starts making adjustments when you first get in bed.
- It takes pressure readings throughout the night, once per hour on each side.
- Responsive Air will sense changes in air pressure due to temperature and sleep position.
- It make adjustments to maintain the comfort of your individual Sleep Number setting.
- About 15 minutes after you get out of bed in the morning, it is normal for your bed to inflate.
- Responsive Air is done adjusting until you get back in bed.
Please note:
If your pump seems to be adjusting all the time or taking a long time to fill instead of letting air out when you first get in bed, it is possible that your bed has a slow leak. Check to make sure your air hoses are securely connected to your mattress on both sides of the bed. If this does not resolve your issue we recommend further troubleshooting.
Troubleshooting
To check to see if Responsive Air is working as intended, try:
- Power cycle the bed by unplugging it from the wall for 20 seconds and plugging back in. Allow the bed to fully power on before moving to the next step (This should only take a few minutes)
- During this time, make sure Responsive Air is turned on in the SleepIQ App
- Climate360 customers can utilize the Restart Bed functionality within the SleepIQ App
- Put the base to Flat to make sure that it is not articulated.
- Responsive Air will not turn on if the bed is articulated above the preset Snore position.
- Once you have been out of the bed for at least 30 minutes, lay in the bed for a few minutes. You should feel Responsive Air and hear a slight hum from the pump.

Climate360 Customers (Only): Responsive Air is On When I have it Set to Off
- Check to see if Core Heating or Cooling is currently turned on either side of the bed.
- If core cooling or heating is enabled, Responsive Air will automatically turn on during that period and remain on until the full cycle has completed (including the cool down phase for core heating). This is to ensure that the customer’s comfort level and Sleep Number Setting® remain consistent throughout the entire cycle.
- Once the cycle is complete, Responsive Air will return to the customer’s original setting.
