Sleep Number offers a 100-night trial period on most purchases, during which you can return items for a refund. You must contact customer service to authorize your return before sending anything back, or your refund will be denied.

How returns work

You have three return routes depending on the product type. Bedding Collection items can be returned in store, by mail, or via carrier drop-off. Bed Accessories can be returned by mail or carrier drop-off through the Customer Service Center, or by phone. Mattresses can only be returned by phone through customer service. All returns require prior authorization before you ship or bring items back.

Refunds
