How Much Is a Sleep Number Bed?

Sleep Number beds allow sleepers to adjust the mattress’ firmness to a precise degree on each side of the bed. Owners use a remote or app to add air into or release air from two core chambers, which changes the bed’s level of support. The mattress offers firmness settings that range from 1 to 100 on each side, and the ideal setting for each sleeper is known as their sleep number. 

A queen size Sleep Number bed price ranges from about $1,000 to $10,000, depending on the model and features. Shoppers should consider their personal needs, preferences, and budget when choosing a Sleep Number mattress. 

We’ll dive into the different types of Sleep Number beds available, their features, and their prices. We’ll also cover what factors influence mattress cost, and break down the pros and cons of Sleep Number mattresses to help you decide if they’re a good fit for you.

What Affects the Price of a Bed?

The cost of a mattress varies according to a number of factors that differ, even across models made by the same manufacturer. We’ll detail the characteristics that affect mattress price to help you make an informed decision. These factors apply only to the price of mattresses on their own — keep accessories like bases and bedding in mind as well when budgeting. 

Mattress Construction

Mattresses with more comfort layers usually carry a higher price-point, as do hybrid models that use numerous materials. Likewise, the type of mattress also affects price. For example, natural materials like latex often cost more than synthetic foams. 

Material Quality

There is generally a correlation between mattress cost and quality of material. Foam especially is widely variable in quality. High-density foams, memory foam, and latex all command higher prices than weaker polyfoams, but they also provide better support and durability. 

Mattress Size

Bigger mattresses usually cost more, since they require more materials. Choosing a smaller mattress size is an easy way to save money on a premium bed. 

Special Features

Special features and add-ons increase the price of the mattress. A Sleep Number’s price is already higher than average at its base level, because of the bed’s technology and adjustability. Other features like advanced cooling, reinforced edges, and zoned support may also drive up the price of a bed. 

Shipping and Delivery

Many mattresses bought online come with free standard shipping, but upgrades like expedited shipping may increase the price. Some companies also offer White Glove delivery, in which professionals remove the old mattress and set up the new one, for free or for an additional fee. There may also be fees for delivery to Canada, Alaska, or Hawaii if applicable. Likewise, when buying a mattress at a store, there may be a fee for delivery.

Sleep Number mattresses are shipped with a premium in-home delivery and assembly service to all 50 states. This service comes with an added fee, though there are occasional promotions for free shipping. There is also an optional disposal service you can select with your in-home delivery service in which technicians will remove your old mattress, though this disposal service may come with an extra fee.

Should You Consider a Sleep Number Bed?

The best mattress for you depends on your personal needs and preferences. A Sleep Number adjustable air bed can be a great choice for couples with different sleep preferences, sleepers with chronic pain, and anyone who wants flexibility. Those who like data will also appreciate the bed’s Sleep IQ feature, which tracks sleep metrics. Combination sleepers or people who toss and turn may benefit from the bed’s ability to automatically adjust firmness throughout the night. 

However, while Sleep Number offers a wide range of prices, their beds tend to be more expensive than other mattresses because of the technology involved. Also, some sleepers may prefer to go to bed without having to bother with a remote control or look at an app on their phone screen. 

Pros	Cons
