Does anyone know how much electricity the pump on a Sleep Number bed uses?
We purchased a Sleep Number bed a few years ago. I’m not crazy about it but, the hubby is. Our electric bill (to me anyways) seem awful high and I was wondering if anyone would know how much electric the pump on these beds use.
I don’t know, specifically, but it shouldn’t be much, considering that it only pumps when it has to get back up to the right pressure. Unless you have a hole in your mattress, this should only happen when one of you decides they need the mattress firmer.
Those pumps use a low voltage motor which draws about as much power as your vaccum cleaner. I don’t believe that you would see a big increase in power used because of that. Did someone in the house leave a Television on?? They use the most power than anything in the house…
I have a queen sized Sleep number bed. The motor states on it that it uses 1 amp. Watts = volts 120 times amps. so the motor uses 120 watts. but that is if you run the motor one hour. In normal use the motor is on only a few seconds and only when you change the pressure. Bottom line is that it should use less than a dimes worth of electricity in a whole year. Probable more like 2 to 3 cents.
