To add a bedskirt to a Sleep Number bed, start by measuring the bed to ensure you select the right size bedskirt. Once you have the correct bedskirt, remove the mattress from the bed.
Place the bedskirt around the base of the bed, making sure it's distributed evenly. Secure the bedskirt to prevent it from shifting and to keep a neat appearance. Be careful not to interfere with the bed's adjustable features during installation.
The bedskirt should enhance the room's look and hide the space under the bed when you're finished.
Measure Your Bed Dimensions
Measure the length, width, and height of your Sleep Number bed to find a suitable bedskirt. Accurate measurements are essential for a proper fit. A poorly fitting bedskirt can affect the bed's look.
To measure length, use a tape measure from the head to the foot of the bed, including the full size by measuring the outer edges. For width, measure from one side of the bed to the other, also at the outermost points. For the height, especially for adjustable Sleep Number beds, measure from the top of the base to the floor to determine the necessary drop for the bedskirt.
For beds with an adjustable base, choose a bedskirt with split corners to accommodate base movement and adjustments. Take into account any extra height from the base when angled.
Proper measurement ensures a bedskirt that fits well and complements your Sleep Number bed.
Select a Suitable Bedskirt
Measure your Sleep Number bed before buying a bedskirt to ensure a proper fit and to match your bedroom decor. Choose a style that suits your taste and make sure the size matches your bed's dimensions for a neat look. Select a durable, easy-to-clean material that stays neat.
For Sleep Number beds with adjustable bases, opt for bedskirts with split corners to accommodate the bed's movement. A bedskirt with an elastic band can offer a secure fit, keeping it in place.
The Sleep Number Smart™ Skirt is made for Sleep Number beds and fits well with their adjustable features. It may include corner ties or Velcro for stability. Choose a bedskirt that complements your bedding and room for a unified appearance. The right bedskirt can enhance your bedroom's look, highlighting your Sleep Number bed.
Prepare Your Sleep Number Bed
Prepare your Sleep Number bed for a bedskirt installation by first deflating the air chambers with the remote control to create a flat surface. Remove all bedding for an unobstructed work area. Unzip and remove the mattress cover to access the bed frame where the bedskirt will be placed.
Ensure you have the correct measurements for the length, width, and height of the bed to select a fitting bedskirt with split corners for the adjustable bed. Align the bedskirt around the bed base carefully, making sure it is centered with the corners set properly. Tuck any extra fabric around the deflated air chambers to ensure the bedskirt hangs evenly and does not touch the floor.
Rotate the bedskirt periodically to ensure even wear, and consider modern alternatives like bed wraps or base covers for a contemporary look.
Detach the Mattress Carefully
After deflating the air chambers and removing the bedding, lift the mattress off the Sleep Number base with care to avoid damaging the material or the chambers. This is important when adding a bed skirt, which enhances the room's look and hides the space under the bed.
To remove the mattress safely, grip the sides firmly but gently. Make sure to balance the weight and not drag the mattress, as this could harm the material and the air chambers. Protecting your Sleep Number bed's components is important for its longevity and function.
With the mattress off, you can add the bed skirt. Choose one with an elastic band for a secure fit. Place the bed skirt evenly around the bed, making sure it fits well and matches your bedding. The bed skirt should hide the base and any storage underneath, integrating with the room's decor.
Position the Bedskirt Properly
Positioning the bedskirt correctly is essential for enhancing the bed's look and hiding the area underneath. Here's how to do it:
- Start by placing the bedskirt at the center of the Sleep Number bed's base. Make sure to align it with the headboard at the top.
- Pay attention to the split corners of the bedskirt. Ensure that they are in the right place to accommodate the bed's adjustable features.
- Spread the bedskirt evenly along the sides of the bed. Make sure it touches the floor without any gaps.
- To prevent the bedskirt from moving when adjusting the bed's settings, secure it in place. You can do this by either tucking it under the mattress or using pins.
- Neatly tuck the fabric around the bed's air chambers. This will help avoid any unsightly bulges.
- Aim for a smooth and tight finish that matches the bed's design. This will contribute to an overall neat and welcoming look for your bedroom.
Reattach the Sleep Number Mattress
Place the Sleep Number mattress onto the base, ensuring proper alignment. It's important to line up the corners of the mattress with the base to avoid an uneven sleep surface and maintain the bedskirt's appearance.
Inflate the mattress using the Sleep Number remote. Gradually fill the air chambers, adjusting the mattress or bedskirt as needed to ensure the bedskirt stays smooth and tight.
Check the bedskirt's alignment and length for a consistent hang around the bed. The bedskirt should hide the space beneath the bed evenly.
After inflating the mattress to the desired firmness, confirm that the bedskirt is still in place.
With these steps, your Sleep Number bed should be comfortable and neatly dressed with the bedskirt.
Style and Adjust the Bedskirt
After placing the bedskirt on the Sleep Number bed base, ensure it looks neat by smoothing out any wrinkles.
For a split king bed, the skirt should be even on both sides for a balanced look.
Secure the elastic band so the bedskirt hangs properly and the corners are tight over the base, allowing for a slight gap above the floor to avoid obstruction.
If the bed is adjusted often or the floor is uneven, you may need to readjust the skirt so it hangs evenly.
For a simpler option, consider bed wraps or base covers that fit around the base without needing split corners.
A well-placed bedskirt improves the bed's appearance and the room's ambiance.
