Commonly Asked Questions and Answers 


WHAT IS THE HEIGHT OF THE TEMPUR-ERGO® PREMIER ADJUSTABLE BASE? 

The overall height ranges from 9 to 19.75 inches floor to the bottom of the mattress. See chart on page 8 for available options. 

DOES THE TEMPUR-ERGO PREMIER COME WITH HEADBOARD ATTACHMENTS? 

No. A headboard bracket kit is available and sold separately.  

DOES THE TEMPUR-ERGO PREMIER COME WITH FOOTBOARD ATTACHMENTS? 

No, you cannot attach a footboard directly to the  TEMPUR-Ergo Premier. However, you can use a “freestanding” bed including headboard, footboard  and side rails by placing the complete TEMPUR-Ergo  Premier within the assembled bed. It may be easiest  to assemble the bed around the adjustable base.  You should measure the inside dimensions of the  assembled bed to be sure the adjustable base will fit.  One of our riser leg sets may be required in some cases. 

WILL THE TEMPUR-ERGO PREMIER FIT INSIDE EXISTING FURNITURE? 

The TEMPUR-Ergo Premier is designed to fit into most “freestanding” beds. We always recommend you measure the inside dimensions of the assembled bed  to be sure the TEMPUR-Ergo Premier will fit. Please refer to the specifications on page 8 for dimensions of  the base. One of our riser leg sets may be required in some cases.  

The adjustable base should not be used in conjunction with bed slats. The weight of the base can cause slats to break. Slats should be removed or the base height should be adjusted such that the base stands above the slats and the slats bear  no weight. A clearance of 1.5 to 2 inches is highly recommended. 

WHERE IS THE SERIAL NUMBER ON THE TEMPUR-ERGO PREMIER? 

The serial number can be found on the law tag attached to the cover, the power supply under the base and on the frame right below the foot end of the base. It may be easier to see by lifting the foot slightly if possible.  The serial number is also located on a sticker on the back cover of this Complete Reference Guide (owner’s  manual) shipped with the base. 

DOES THE UNIT HAVE AC OR DC MOTORS? 

The lift motors used on the TEMPUR-Ergo Premier are DC motors. The base’s power supply converts the AC power from the wall outlet to DC power. 

 WHO DO I CALL FOR SERVICE OR SUPPORT IF NEEDED?

Service and technical support is available by calling our dedicated customer service group at 1-800-821-6621.  An owner’s manual is included with each base including other information for making claims. 

IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AVAILABLE?

No. 

DO I GET A FULL WARRANTY IF I PURCHASE A FLOOR MODEL? 

Yes. However, your warranty start date is the date of manufacture which is clearly marked on the law tag attached to the base (not your actual purchase date). 

WHAT ARE THE ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS OF THE TEMPUR-ERGO PREMIER? 

During normal operation, the base can draw up to 2.5A of electricity from a normal AC wall outlet.

  • Your surge protection device and/or electrical outlet may be defective. Test the outlet by plugging in another working appliance. 

 

Symptom

Wireless Remote Control LED Signature Light will not illuminate. 

 

Solution 
• Replace the batteries in the Wireless Remote Control. The unit requires two (2) AA batteries 
  • Ensure the batteries are installed correctly. 

 

Symptom

Head and/or Leg section will elevate but will not return to the horizontal (Flat) position  

 

Solution 
• The TTEMPUR-Ergo Grand may be obstructed. Elevate and check for an obstruction. Remove the obstruction. 
  • The head section may be too close to the wall. 
  • The headboard may be too close to the edge of the mattress. Verify that a 1.5″ (38.1mm) to 2″ (50.8 mm) distance is between the headboard brackets and the mattress. Adjust if required. 
Symptom

Head and/or Leg lift function has minor interference during operation.  

Solution 
  • Check batteries in Wireless Remote Control, replace with two (2) new AA batteries if necessary. 
  • Make sure that you are following the duty cycle of the motors (do not operate more than 2 minutes over a 20-minute period, or approximately 10% duty cycle). 
  • Press the lift buttons squarely and accurately. 
  • Wireless Remote Control may be experiencing common Radio Frequency Interference from other radio transmitting devices. Wait several seconds, and then try pressing appropriate button again. See FCC Compliance Statement on this guide.
