The adjustable settings and personalized comfort seemed like the perfect solution to my restless nights. However, after a few weeks of sleeping on my new mattress, I noticed that it wasn’t quite as comfortable as it had been initially. That’s when I realized that I needed to calibrate my Sleep Number bed.
