Current lineup at a glance
Sleep Number’s adjustable-air lineup includes ComfortMode, ComfortNext and Climate collections. The company also lists a fixed-firmness True Temp Zone hybrid. Compare features and the complete delivered price before choosing.
Quick verdict
Best for: couples who want independent firmness control; shoppers who want app-based sleep tracking should compare the ComfortNext or Climate collections, because ComfortMode has neither Wi-Fi nor app tracking.
Skip adjustable air if: you prefer a mattress without a pump or air chambers, expect the adjustable base to be included, or prefer the feel of a conventional latex or foam mattress. ComfortMode operates by remote without an app; this is not an automatic reason to reject it.
Our take: ComfortMode is the sensible entry point, ComfortNext is the pressure-relief upgrade, and Climate is the premium choice for sleepers who specifically want active cooling. Do not use old C2, p5, i8 or i10 prices to budget for a new purchase—the current lineup changed in 2026.
Which 2026 Sleep Number beds have an app or sleep tracking?
Sleep Number now sells four distinct mattress families. The word “smart” does not describe every model: adjustable firmness, sleep tracking and active cooling are separate features.
| Collection | Firmness control | App / sleep tracking | Temperature features |
|---|---|---|---|
| ComfortMode | Adjustable-air firmness via its remote | No Wi-Fi or app control; no tracking | Cooling materials, not active refrigeration |
| ComfortNext | Adjustable-air firmness | Connected control and sleep insights | More cooling materials, model-dependent |
| Climate | Adjustable-air firmness | Connected control and sleep insights | Active warming and cooling, model-dependent |
| True Temp Zone | Fixed feel: Firm, Medium or Plush; no Sleep Number setting | No app sleep tracking | Cool-touch fabrics and passive materials, not active cooling |
Before buying: the mattress-only price does not automatically include a head/foot adjustable base. A compatible foundation may be enough for some configurations. Sleep Number’s current policy makes adjustable bases final sale even when an eligible mattress qualifies for its 100-night trial.
How much does a Sleep Number bed cost in 2026?
Historical September 2026 price snapshot — not live October 31 checkout quotes. The table below records manufacturer-advertised starting prices for three adjustable-air collections in September 2026, before tax, bases and accessories. Promotions and configurations change, so obtain a new quote for your actual size and desired base. Sleep Number also sells the fixed-firmness True Temp Zone hybrid; its pricing should be quoted separately rather than inferred from an adjustable-air collection.

|---|---|---|---|
| ComfortMode | $1,599 regular $1,439 during the promotion checked |
Adjustable firmness at the lowest current entry price | Fewer comfort and cooling upgrades |

Shoppers prioritizing pressure relief and a plusher comfort system | Large price jump from ComfortMode |
| Climate | $5,449 regular $4,399 during the promotion checked |
Hot sleepers who want active temperature control | Highest cost and greatest system complexity |

Which current Sleep Number collection should you choose?
True Temp Zone: fixed-firmness hybrid
Sleep Number’s True Temp Zone combines foam with pocketed coils and is offered in firm, medium and plush versions. It is a fixed-firmness hybrid rather than an adjustable-air mattress; Sleep Number’s support documentation says it does not offer a Sleep Number setting, connected temperature control or sleep tracking. It is distinct from the Climate adjustable-air line’s active temperature features.
The company says some True Temp Zone orders can ship compressed in a box and may take up to 72 hours to fully expand. Delivery, base compatibility, price and trial terms should be confirmed for the exact configuration. We have not independently tested this model.
ComfortMode: best starting point for most value-conscious buyers
ComfortMode is Sleep Number’s simpler adjustable-air collection. It provides user-adjustable firmness with its dedicated remote, but the manufacturer explicitly says it does not support Wi-Fi or the Sleep Number app. Do not pay for ComfortMode assuming it includes SleepIQ sleep tracking or a connected temperature schedule. Compare ComfortMode Lux separately if its extra comfort construction matters to you.
ComfortNext: better fit for pressure-relief shoppers
ComfortNext adds connected bed control and sleep insights through the Sleep Number app, plus model-specific pressure-relieving materials. ComfortNext, Lux and Ultra differ in height and construction, so compare the exact model rather than treating all three as interchangeable. Adjustable firmness does not ensure the comfort layers will fit every sleeper; try the selected model in your usual sleeping position.
Climate: for shoppers who specifically want active cooling
Climate is the premium temperature-control collection. Sleep Number advertises cooling up to 15 degrees, but this is also where the price becomes difficult to justify unless heat is one of your main sleep problems. If you only need a more breathable surface, compare the total cost with a conventional cooling mattress or an active cooling cover before buying.
What happened to the C2, p5, i8 and i10?
Those familiar model names belong to Sleep Number’s previous lineup. They still appear in reviews, owner discussions, support articles and used-mattress listings, but they should not be presented as the current 2026 shopping menu. Yawnder’s separate Sleep Number i10 review remains useful for owners and used-model research; it is not a current-model recommendation.

This is our original hands-on look at the legacy C2. It is useful for understanding the adjustable-air concept, motion behavior and basic setup, but the model name and pricing are historical.

What we like
- Each sleeper can adjust firmness on compatible dual-zone sizes.
- The current range gives shoppers a clearer good/better/best path.
- 100-night mattress trial and 10-year limited warranty.
- Climate provides a genuine active-cooling option rather than relying only on cool-touch fabric.
What to consider
- Complete-system pricing can be much higher than the headline mattress price.
- Pumps, air chambers, electronics and apps add complexity.
- An adjustable number changes air support, not the fundamental feel of the comfort layers.
- Older reviews and search results often quote discontinued models and prices.
Trial, warranty and base requirements
Sleep Number’s current return policy provides a 100-night in-home trial for eligible mattresses, beginning at delivery, with a minimum 30-night adjustment period before arranging a return or one-time exchange. Call Customer Service and obtain return authorization; an exchanged mattress is final sale and does not start a second trial. Adjustable bases and display products are final sale, even if the mattress can be returned. Confirm pickup or return-shipping charges and any non-refundable delivery costs before ordering. The current 10-year limited warranty generally covers two years fully, followed by eight years of shared repair/replacement cost; review terms for your purchase date.
You do not have to buy a Sleep Number base for every installation. Sleep Number’s support guidance says a compatible, firm and stable base can be used, although some bundled features depend on the selected system. Confirm support requirements for your exact mattress and size before reusing an existing frame.
Frequently asked questions
What was the entry price for an adjustable-air Sleep Number bed?
ComfortMode was advertised from $1,599 before promotions in the September 2026 price check. Verify current pricing for the size and base you want. This snapshot does not establish the price of the separate True Temp Zone hybrid.
Does a Sleep Number bed include an adjustable base?
Do not assume it does. Mattress and base pricing can be separated or bundled depending on the offer. Compare the full cart total and verify exactly which base is included.
Can couples choose different firmness settings?
Compatible dual-zone configurations let partners adjust their own side. Availability depends on size and configuration, so confirm dual adjustability before ordering.
Is a Sleep Number bed worth it?
It can be worth the premium when two sleepers genuinely need different firmness levels or when active cooling is a high priority. It is harder to justify if you will rarely change the setting or if you prefer a simpler mattress without mechanical components.
Are old Sleep Number price charts still accurate?
No. Charts centered on C2, p5, i8, i10 and other prior-generation lines can be useful for a used or existing mattress, but should not set a new-bed budget. Compare current ComfortMode, ComfortNext, Climate and the distinct fixed-firmness True Temp Zone models, with actual size and base options.
Check the complete price before buying
Also compare the cost of a non-air mattress using our Queen mattress price comparison across brands. This is a separate buying category: a Helix, WinkBed or Black Diamond hybrid does not provide Sleep Number adjustable-air firmness or SleepIQ tracking, but may be simpler and less expensive to own. Confirm the seller-specific return terms before ordering.
