Your Select Comfort Bed

After you’ve purchased a Select Comfort bed, you’ll wait a short time for your Select Comfort bed delivery, and then you can assemble the foundation and set up your new sleep experience. Many people do quite a lot of homework before purchasing their Select Comfort bed and don’t need to be told about the thirty-day trial period for selected models or the twenty-year limited warranty. Even with a good deal of homework, there are a few little bits and pieces of information some users learn by trial and error. If you go into your Select Comfort bed experienced and armed with this information, you could have an even more enjoyable time breaking in your new Select Comfort bed.

The first thing to keep in mind about buying a new Select Comfort bed is that there is a bit of assembly to do. The foundation is simple to put together but there are times when some owners may wish to not assemble the bed right away. Some people have high sensitivities or allergies to the fumes new products can give off. This common phenomenon is called “off-gassing” and can be experienced in everything from new carpets, freshly detailed automobiles, dry-cleaned clothes and, yes, wrapped-and-shipped Select Comfort Beds. If you have a sensitivity to off-gassing products, it’s a very good idea to unwrap and air out all the components of the bed in a garage or in an outdoor area during good weather. Allow at least twelve hours (sometimes more, sometimes less depending on your sensitivity) for all the items to air out. Just as with new carpeting, off-gassing doesn’t last forever, and the airing should help to dissipate most, if not all of the fumes. If you don’t have a garage or it’s raining outside, set aside the Select Comfort bed components in a room with an open window and run a fan in the room, set on ‘high”.

There is an option with your Select Comfort bed for a digital readout on the air chamber controller. Many people find that this option is most helpful for setting “sleep number” zones (you’ll learn all about sleep numbers from your Select Comfort bed rep, but basically it is a recommended setting for your individual sleep habits). The digital readout is also very helpful for those who have “dual air chamber” Select Comfort beds, which are designed for two people to enjoy. The readout helps set your preference and your sleep partner’s preference accurately.

Many people wonder why their Select Comfort bed seems to lose pressure from time to time. They search for a leak or other malfunction, but find the Select Comfort bed is in perfect condition. Why the “leak”? Air pressure changes with temperature. If your house is very hot and becomes air-conditioned, that relatively quick change in temperature can affect the air pressure in your Select Comfort bed. This is not a malfunction, just simple physics at work! You may need to make a few minor adjustments to the setting on your Select Comfort bed in those awkward temperature transitions as seasons shift from winter to spring and from spring to summer.

Armed with a little bit of advance information, your Select Comfort bed experience should be good, relaxing and restful. As a new Select Comfort bed owner, knowing these little tips and tweaks will help you customize your new bed to fully meet your needs with minimal fuss. Remember to read the instructions (even the simplest assembly can be speeded along with a glance at the manual), use all the parts included with your order and enjoy your new bed!
