Sleep Number P5 Bed UNBOX & ASSEMBLY

This is an assembly video of our Sleep Number P5 King Size Bed. It took just about 2 hours and 15 minutes to assemble complete. We purchased this bed on February 13th and it arrived to us on February 25th 2015.
At the time I posted this video, this bed is now over 2 years old and has been moved several times. I can't vouch enough for how well this bed has held up to being assembled and disassembled and how east it is to move. We absolutely love this bed and have recommended it to several people since purchasing it.

Thank you so much! I moved and I didn't know about the caps to keep the air in the mattress. I got to my new place and did not have any air and it didn't seem like the air was going in. I had to open up the bed and start from scratch. Thanks to your video my bed is full of air and I plan on sleeping like a baby tonight! 😊Thanks once again!

[@SwtTrisha8]

Very cool! I have a new one coming next week after not having one for the past 8 years and I’m SO ready!

[@roypiper581]

While moving, my P5 bed became lumpy. Looking at your video helped me realize the center foam border popped out and was underneath the inflatable cushions, causing a ridge. Put it back where it belonged down the center and it solved the issue and saved me money from having a service visit. Thanks!

[@doctordr1397]

Maybe this is what is going on with mine

[@mastersr1956]

i just shipped my bed to guatemala, i took it apart 4 years ago and did not remember what went where. I also seem to of lost some of the base, I have the 4 panels and 5 of the bottom pieces that they sit on. so i am going to try and order them when i get back to the states.

[@sheribosco5345]

Do the control box and the adjustable bed box just sit on the floor?

[@Krauser84]

Hey! I'm so happy I found your video! Thanks for this! Do you know what the numbers mean on each leg and modular piece? Does each leg go in a specific panel or does it not matter?

[@James-akaRhino]

Brings back memories of my california king sleep number. multiple moves and i have to tear down and re assemble. about to get rid of it and down size to a queen soon. video helps me remember the steps. thanks.

[@jordanwilliams6000]

Great Video thinking about getting this. What’s the Piano Music Artis?

[@rhondaetter1682]

Thank you so very much for the use of your video. It helped me set up my rather aged sleep number that had been in storage. It is now a new guest room bed.

[@GearsGadgets]

You're very welcome!

[@fpvsky2887]

If you have the select number app delete it they're spying on you in your bed they know everything that happens

[@thereacheliteprocess]

Wear do you put the pump at storage wise on the mattress ? I only have the mattress just don’t know how to zip it up with the hoses and all.

[@hrgrany]

How do I get the outside cover off so I can wash it? I can't get the zippers to come off like they use too that's a dumb mistake on thier part, please help?

[@esaiariza]

I had to scroll down your video archives but totally worth it! 😂😂😂

[@SnottyBoscarino]

I’ve had my “hand me down” SN bed well over 10 years now and bc of my back I’ve abused the pump like a child by never being able to leave it alone. Up until recently I’ve had ZERO issues but eventually developed very small leaks at the connection points that ended up being a 5 minute fix with some fresh o-rings I found (spares from the vape tank). I love my bed so much. After years of living in pain it really changed my quality of life.

[@naiyalexic]

thanks for posting, guys! :) Bought a used SN... didn't have instructions. Thank you!

[@GearsGadgets]

Your welcome, I am glad I could help

[@laurenagte532]

Ditto

[@nicklarosa6167]

This was super close to actual art

[@fadedyk4203]

Do you leave the pump inside of the bed and lay down

[@GearsGadgets]

Under the bed

[@kandyl34]

@gears & gadgets I think my sleep number is even though older than yours. No Bluetooth, prob mid 2000's. We have always use it on the platform that came with it but I want to buy a new bed (not mattresses) and I wonder will it fit into a bed frame? That's actually what I was looking for when I came across your video.

[@dwaynetapia7791]

How do I control the pump

[@rosie1168]

Thank you. I needed this video. All set up finally

[@revelationsoundstudio]

Its just an air mattress with some foam on top and sides. And I just spent $3,000 for the P6. Hopefully it lives us to it's reputation when it gets installed in a week.

[@GearsGadgets]

We are still appreciating ours very much, it is a really great bed.

[@jonrodriguez2277]

nice video thank you. Does the coverlet help keep together the two parts of the overall frame? I bought a p5 queen bed a year ago really happy with it and im thinking about buying another one to a place I am moving to. Thanks again for your video

[@GearsGadgets]

+Jon Rodriguez yes the coverlet holds the 2 together extremely well.

[@shotgunnerB]

Was given a sn bed, but no pins, can you show me what they look like?????

[@DeliberateNRandom]

The easiest way I think I could explain it is saying they look similar to an I-beam with levers on the top and bottom so you can pull them out. Check Google, or call customer service and say your family member gave you the platform and no pins. Any Sleep Number associate can actually look up the sales order based on first and/or last name, state, city, phone number, sales number and a few more things. If you said it you knew the last name and state, that's possible, but there could be a lot of results if the last name was Smith.

[@dribynniks637]

Best tutorial out there!

[@danielletobin8919]

Great video. We are moving and have to disassemble to get down the tight stairway. We had someone come and assemble it for us when we got it 5 years ago. Without this video, I would have not a clue how to tackle this job. I also appreciate that you put it up in a tight space. Like us, I am guessing you got it because a standard king bed would not fit up the stairs. Thank you

[@GearsGadgets]

That is correct. It is SO easy to tear down and move.

[@katiesj0]

i am thinking buying the p5, without the base. Because i just need the mastress right now, and will get the bedframe next year. Will the matress still work without the base or bed frame?

[@DeliberateNRandom]

You can use any platform, as long as it doesn't move or have excessive gaps between the boards. On a platform or bed frame with smooth plywood would work best. You could leave it on the floor, too.

[@georgec485]

Thanks! Very helpful.

[@Victoriaperez1020]

Does the pump blow up fast or slow

[@DeliberateNRandom]

They can take a little time. Less than a minute for both, on the new mattresses.

[@HOlsen789]

Thank you for your assembly video. It's very appreciated.

[@GearsGadgets]

Sure thing!!

[@anthonyperry3699]

Thanks for the video. Saved me an installation charge for a twin!

[@GearsGadgets]

Not a problem. Thats why I do what I do. Anything to help. You will love your sleep number bed, we love ours.

[@FLJAMESFL]

Awesome , love when the dog got on the bed. LOL Thanks, this video helped me out before ordering to see what I was getting into first.

[@GearsGadgets]

Great!! Happy I could help. I have actually moved a few times since purchasing this bed and it is SUPER easy to move and setup again. I don't recommend letting a dog on the bed until after its assembled. I was a little on edge that he might pop one of the air chambers. They are super heavy duty but when you spend that kind of $$$$ you want to be extra safe. You will enjoy your Sleep Number bed.

[@rendajones7368]

We just went shopping for a desperately needed new mattress. We went to a Sleep Number store first. We stopped searching and bought it. Now I am second guessing myself. But I stay in pain, and it felt so amazing. 5 to ten days until we set it up.

[@fellyvelicia]

I am.not sure if P5 is the one that the bed can go up to a sitting position and then back down...but anyway what makes the sleep number bed go up and down? Is it that black platform? Or is it the air mattress itself?

[@GearsGadgets]

So all of the sleep number beds can go into the sitting position but require buying a different (much more expensive) base. The base that I have is no different than a regular box spring. So the mattress inflates and deflates but to make it sit up requires spending more $$$. Either way, my wife and I LOVE this sleep number bed and 2 years in it's holding up awesome.

[@nickt8282]

So I’m trying to select a sleep number and was wondering do you have the integrated base and frame option or just the integrated base option?

[@vonglo4587]

So they are just air mattresses?

[@DeliberateNRandom]

Kind of. Inside of a foam mattress. Built more durable. You can spend a couple hundred on a standard air mattress and it wouldn't hold up. Have someone stitch a cover, put foam on it and a computer to control the air pump, and it would cost quite a bit.

[@lhnguyen4424]

How to remove my name on sleep number remote control

[@jachoi105]

Each time you moved, did you have to disassemble the bed? Or can it be packaged into a mattress box?

[@GearsGadgets]

I had to disassemble it. I actually love that part about the bed because it frees up a ton of space when moving. The bare minimum that I would recommend would be moving the bases assembled but tear the mattress down and protect the air mattresses. Its SUPER simple to do. Much easier than a standard king size bed.

[@asianvixensiren]

Trucker Tom can a regular box spring be used as a modular base if it’s flat anyway and doesn’t have holes at all?

[@DeliberateNRandom]

@@asianvixensiren You don't want more than two inches gap between slats, if you use those. A "box spring" is not recommended, because it moves under a load. A platform or plywood can also be used for rigidity.

[@tejanissimo]

Do you have a base setup assembly video I can actually follow?

[@GearsGadgets]

I do not.

[@Defiant--Potato]

What is this song? I've heard it before but I can't find it!

[@GearsGadgets]

I don't know, its been a zillion years lol

[@samma.7499]

hey, do you need to have your sleep number bed pluged it at all times even after you set the bed up??

[@GearsGadgets]

I have yes, I don't know why you wouldn't.

[@DeliberateNRandom]

If it loses air pressure, it can adjust. It also will adjust during the night with the SleepIQ technology. The new P5 can track your movement and how you sleep during the night.

[@dwiganstube]

Anyone know anything about the p5 expanded queen? I bought it used and seems to be all there. I assemble the frame and the deck panels stick over the sides about 5 inches, not the ends just the sides. The instructions on the sleep number site states to make sure the panels are flush on all sides. Are they suppose to stick over the sides on an expanded queen or is something wrong? The panels are all the way together in the middle.

[@GearsGadgets]

I am not positive.

[@ronaldmattson6963]

As a new owner and needing to move soon I am going to need help from Sleep Number to take down my bed and install it at my new home. I better get Sleep Number to help or You are going to hear bigtime from me.

[@GearsGadgets]

Why am I going to hear from you?

[@MateoLopezTX]

the foam comfort layer looks so cheap

[@TheMichaelJu]

If a person does not really care about the ability to adjust the so-called firmness, can the air chamber be replaced by some layer combination of various foams? In that sense, is this $1900-$2000 mattress even worth it? What is so special about its foam layer on the top?

[@GearsGadgets]

Yes it’s worth it in my opinion, no you can’t replace it with foam. They do sell beds with more foam on top of the air chambers. The foam is what makes you feel like you aren’t sleeping on a camping air mattress.

[@raybrdjr]

that mattress too will breakdown! if you want a mattress that will last a lifetime and be the very last you buy , get a Dunlop Latex (real rubber) mattress!!!!

[@GearsGadgets]

It has held up very well for the last 6 years for me with no complaints. At this point I've gotten my moneys worth.

[@GearsGadgets]

You mean one of the worst, oldest, best performing videos I’ve ever done? lol. The success of this video is mind blowing illogical to me.

[@maryhirsch574]

I got one and it has been awful. I have a 3 inch latex topper on it now.

[@GearsGadgets]

Really? I have had mine for years and its been great. What model do you have?

[@JonAlt1127]

I've had the P5 for 3 years.... hated every single night on this thing. I'm disassembling it now. I'm switching to Purple!

[@wheresbrent]

@@JonAlt1127 Had to get rid of my purple 3, way too springy. Now I have a Tempurpedic probreeze medium hybrid, and its too dam soft. GAHHHHH

[@JonAlt1127]

@@wheresbrent we've had the purple2 for 6 months now. I made it 3 months before I started sleeping on my couch. I feel like I should have gone with the 3. I've thought about goin to Costco and grabbing a Casper just to try it out. Spent entirely too much money to hate it.

[@wheresbrent]

@@JonAlt1127 I feel like I should have done the 4...maybe I would have sunk in just enough. And yeah, upgrading to the tempur was $$.. Dangit why is my cheap ass rv bed more comfy?

[@malcolmgary1086]

I paid $7,000 for a Sleep Number bed. After ONLY 3 years use (still paying on the bed), the compressor quit functioning. Now, with the bed YET paid for entirely, I am being charged ONLY $200 for a new compressor (add $!00 for installment). I am told that the cost would have been much more had the compressor been older than 3-years old.

[@GearsGadgets]

That is the risk of buying anything with a motor, after a few years things can break and you might have to fix them.

[@malcolmgary1086]

Yeah... like buying a Ford/Chevy/Chrysler instead of a Toyota. Junk is junk.@@GearsGadgets

[@DeliberateNRandom]

First year is covered 100%, then 70% the next, add 5% each year until 11-15 which is covered 15% of costs. So if it's a $100 repair, you pay $30 the second year, $35 the third, and so on until $85 on year 11-15.

[@fpvsky2887]

Their customer service people lie to you day after day trying to get you to hang on until it's too late to return the bed and from the day it's delivered the base is never returnable which is 3 to $4000 of the cost

[@mariarivas5120]

So it’s literally a air mattress with a topper

[@EsotericEssays]

Do not try to move you bed Assembled. This will result in ripping apart your bed. I had a king-size Sleep Number bed and it was a great bed but if you try to move it assembled you'll rip the bottom part of the mattress to shreds always disassemble your bed before you move

[@VickiTakacs.]

My son did that just assembling it after a move. It’s driving me nuts as nothing works to stick it back together. It’s 2 twins together. I am giving up and moving to other side that he did correctly. Would you understand the brakes on the legs? They’re actually wheels and doesn’t matter if I have switch up or down, bed moves. It is from 2000 but you’d think the brakes would work even if they are plastic.

[@DeliberateNRandom]

@@VickiTakacs. You can give customer service a call. They may be able to walk you through the issue, if it's a factory item. The standard feet currently are legs without wheels. Otherwise, try the cups that protect your floor from being scratched by the feet of furniture. They should be able to keep the bed from moving, but easy to pull out.

[@VickiTakacs.]

@@DeliberateNRandom That is bloody brilliant and I have a box of those cups.
