What prevents the mattress from moving on a sleep number bed? Do you need to dismantle the bed base?

How do I take apart my Sleep Number bed to move it?
You will need to read the instructions for dismantling. It’s pretty much like moving any other bed but without the excess weight.
However, you will need to make a game plan because the mattress is connected to a pump. It’s a great idea to have the instruction manual handy if you need a reference point.
This is the procedure you will need to follow:
- Inflate the mattress to 100
- Open the zippers on the mattress to expose the valves where they enter the mattress and disconnect the air hoses by pressing the tab and pulling the elbow. Some models of sleep numbers have two air chambers, so be sure the hoses are disconnected. Place the air caps over the air intakes on the mattress. You cannot move the mattress without following this step.
- Break the magnet seals if they are fitted to your mattress. When the magnetic seal is broken, place a towel between the magnets to reduce magnetic attraction ( the magnets may damage your credit cards and cause a pacemaker to malfunction)
- Disconnect the air hoses from the pump and remove the power cable
- Pack the pump in a box with packaging material. It is important not to expose the pump to moisture or vibration while moving. Handle it with care
- Remove foam pads and package them adequately, so they are not exposed to dust and grime and, more importantly moisture
- Place the mattress in a suitable cover before transporting it
Dismantling the bed base
- Remove the air hose that runs within the bed base. It’s a simple unclipping from the frame, rolling, and securing.
- Remove the head and footplate from the bed base. You will need to press the securing tabs to slide out the section. Be aware these plates can bend, so handle them with care
- Disconnect the bracing tubes, mark the position with a piece of tape to assist in reassembly
