Are you wanting to upgrade your Sleep Number mattress setup but don’t know how to take apart the base? Look no further! In this article, we will guide you step by step on how to disassemble your Sleep Number base. Ready to get started? Let’s begin!
Tools You Will Need
Before beginning the disassembly process, gather the necessary tools to make the job easier. You’ll need a Phillips head screwdriver, a drill with a screwdriver bit, and a rubber mallet.
Removing the Mattress
The first step in removing your base is to remove the mattress from your Sleep Number bed. Firmly grip the mattress handles and lift it upward, then pull it towards you and out of the base. Keep the mattress aside for the duration of the disassembly process.
Disassembling the Base
The next step is to disassemble the base. Start by locating the fasteners that connect the base’s individual components (the sides, bottom and top). Using a drill with a screwdriver bit, slowly and carefully remove the screws from the base’s various components.
As you’re taking apart the Sleep Number base, it’s essential to keep the pieces together in a place where they won’t get lost or separated. A useful way to do this is by labeling the pieces and keeping them in one spot during the disassembly process.
After you have removed all the screws, use a rubber mallet to gently tap and separate the pieces apart. During this process, be mindful of the power cord that runs from the base to the wall. Be careful not to damage the cord while disassembling the base.
Packaging for Storage or Shipping
If you are disassembling your Sleep Number base for storage or shipping purposes, it’s essential to package them correctly. Use bubble wrap or other cushioning material to cover each component. Then, place the wrapped parts of the base into a sturdy box, and label it accordingly.
Reassembling the Base
Finally, after packing or moving it, it is time to reassemble your Sleep Number base! When bringing the parts of the base back together, make sure you line up the holes correctly. If you need to move the power cord, make sure you connect it securely before putting the base’s top back on.
Using your newly gathered screws, attach each component of the base (sides, the bottom, and top) together with care.
Once you’ve finished reassembling the base, place your mattress on top of it, plug it in, and turn it on to enjoy!
In Conclusion, disassembling your Sleep Number base may seem like a daunting task, but with the right tools and knowledge, it can be an easy job to do. Here’s a quick recap of the necessary steps: remove the mattress, disassemble the base, package it correctly if needed, reassemble all the components, turn the power back on, and finally, place the mattress back on top. By following these steps, you can take apart your Sleep Number base with minimal effort and stress.
