Checklist: Getting ready for your delivery

To help ensure a smooth delivery experience, review this checklist before your upcoming delivery.

Before your delivery, ensure an adult is home, verify your product fits in the room, clear pathways, secure pets, confirm electrical access, and have your Wi-Fi credentials ready for Smart Bed setup.
 

Steps vary based on your delivery service level and product type.

 

How to Prepare for Your Delivery

  • Ensure an adult (18 or older) will be home during the delivery window.
  • Measure doorways, hallways and stairways to help ensure your product fits in the room.
  • Verify electrical outlets are available for powered products. (Does not apply to True Temp Zone Collections.)
  • Clear pathways and remove obstacles.
  • Keep pets secured.
  • Have your Wi-Fi network name and password available if you purchased a Sleep Number® Smart Bed.
  • Do not dispose of your old mattress until your new product has been delivered.

Before Delivery

Ensure Someone Will Be Home

  • An adult (age 18 or older) must be present during delivery.

Headboard Preparation

If you plan to attach a headboard, review your order to confirm that headboard brackets were purchased. If not, you may need to order them separately.

Adjustable Base Accessories

If you have an adjustable base and would like to use a bed skirt, Sleep Number offers a Smart™ Skirt designed to fit.

Apartments and Condominiums

Some apartment, condo and building communities require proof of insurance before permitting deliveries. If needed, Sleep Number can provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI).

Gate Codes and Building Access

If your home, neighborhood, apartment or condominium requires a gate code, entry code or special access instructions, please provide them before your delivery date. This helps ensure our delivery team can access your location without delays.

 

Prepare Your Space

Confirm Product Fit

Measure entryways, hallways, stairways and your room to ensure your new product will fit comfortably in your space.

Verify Electrical Access

  • Ensure electrical outlets are available within 5 feet of mattresses, bases and lifestyle furniture products. (Does not apply to True Temp Zone Collections.)

Important: A king-size ComfortMode™ mattress with an Adjustable Base requires three electrical outlets. A three-outlet power splitter may be needed.

Prepare the Room

  • Move furniture or bed frames you will not be using out of the way.
  • If you did not purchase Sleep Number upholstered furniture or an integrated base, have your bed frame assembled before delivery.
  • Keep your existing mattress until your new product has arrived.

FlexFit® Adjustable Base Customers

  • If you ordered a FlexFit® adjustable base, remove the slats from your bed frame before the technician arrives.

Adjustable Base Customers

  • If using the adjustable base without legs, place it on slats spaced no more than 2 to 3 inches apart or on a platform surface.
