The Decision: Chamber, Pump, or Hardware?
Your Sleep Number-style air mattress relies on three separate parts: the air chamber, the pump, and the retainer hardware. When one fails, you replace that part, not the whole bed. The challenge is that used replacement parts vary by model, size, and price, so the wrong choice is easy to make. This guide covers two used dual-hose pumps, a half-king chamber, and a retainer bar hardware set.
Quick Take
One side of a king mattress won't hold air? Focus on the Select Comfort Sleep Number 1/2 Air Bed Chamber for King Mattress S-815 E-King. Pump dead? You have two dual-hose pump models: the SFCS56DR and the NXT03DR. Sliding mattress? The Sleep Number Select Comfort Mattress Retainer Bar Hardware Set of 2 handles the non-pump side of the setup.

How to Choose

- Want a similar pump? The NXT03DR also has two hoses and a wireless remote, listed below the SFCS56DR.
- Need to hold the mattress in place? The retainer bar hardware set of two pieces is the non-pump option.
Product Notes
Select Comfort Sleep Number 1/2 Air Bed Chamber for King Mattress S-815 E-King
This chamber fixes a leaking side of a king mattress. It's a beige used single chamber with two air ports and includes two white caps. The listing says it held air for multiple days with no leaks. Pick it when your pump still works but the bladder doesn't. The trade-off: it's only half a chamber, so it won't cover both sides of a king by itself, and used condition means minor discoloration, marks, and scuffs. It also won't help if the pump is the problem.
Select Comfort Sleep Number Air Bed Pump for Dual Chamber Queen King Mattress
This is the higher-priced pump at $331.54. It's a dual-hose pump with a wireless remote that operates left and right sides. You get the pump, remote, and power cord; model SFCS56DR. Choose it if your current pump won't inflate and you need a complete pump-and-remote package. The limitation is cost: it's the most expensive item here, and it's used, so you're paying for the included remote and cord rather than a new pump.
Select Comfort Sleep Number Air Bed Pump For Queen King Mattress Model NXT03DR
At $324.99, this used pump sits just below the SFCS56DR and has the same two-hose layout. You get the pump, remote, and power cord; model NXT03DR. Choose it when you want a dual-hose system and this model matches your setup. The trade-offs: beige finish instead of white, used condition, and no chamber or mattress included.
Sleep Number Select Comfort Mattress Retainer Bar Hardware Set of 2
At $13.99, this is the least expensive option. It's a used set of two retainer bar hardware pieces in Full XL size for Sleep Number Select Comfort adjustable air beds. If your mattress shifts, this hardware can re-secure it. The limitation: hardware only. It won't inflate a chamber, control firmness, or fix a pump. It's also Full XL, not universal.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
- Replace a leaking king chamber: Choose the S-815 E-King chamber if your pump still works.
- Replace a dead pump: Pick the SFCS56DR for the complete pump-and-remote package, or the NXT03DR if that model matches your setup.
- Re-secure a Full XL bed: Get the Retainer Bar Hardware Set of 2.
Start with the failing part, match the model to your bed, and you won't overbuy.
