1. Inspect your DualTemp layer's hoses and fan

  1. Turn the fan on high and leave it there while you complete the next steps.

  2. Check the full length of the hoses for kinks, pinches, or bedding that may be too tight.

  3. Make sure the hose is attached to the fan and the connector isn't broken or cracked. Contact us for a replacement if the hose is damaged.

  4. Check the space around each fan. That fans need open space to circulate air and deliver heated or cooled air to the layer's surface. Make sure there is at least 1 foot of open space around all sides of the fan.

DualTemp Layer Tips

Room Temperature

Keep your room temperature set at 72 degrees or cooler. DualTemp layers use the air from your room, so this is super important!

Mattress Pads
Mattress pads should be placed under your DualTemp layer, otherwise it will block the airflow.
Fitted Sheets
Your fitted sheet should be a breathable material. Flannel might be too thick. Sleep Number sheets work great with your DualTemp layer.
