Do you have to disassemble a Sleep Number bed to install carpet?

[Deadrick Colbert]

I'm going to have to have carpet replaced in a house that has a Sleep Number bed set up in it. Do I need to disassemble it for the carpet replacement and then reassemble it? Do carpet installers ever take care of this? I've never set one of these up before and not sure how to do it and want the carpet replaced asap.

@Deadrick Colbert If you have room within the space, it could be done, i.e. if you have a 144" (12') room, and a Queen (70" wide), then you have room to tilt or extra 4". It will be costly if you are only replacing carpet and only have 2 guys working, an average guy can lift 70 lbs without much effort. You can compute how many you need to lift it, don't forget to use pair of 2s. I assume it will not be too heavy and say less than 300 lbs, you need 4 guys to move/tilt whatever needs to be done so the installer can go around it. It will not be easy but it is not impossible. No installer will do this for you, it is not their norm, and you might have to pay for the "extra time" it will take to work around it but it will be cheaper than to take dis/assemble it.  I won't be surprised if they charge 50-150 more if you do this step with them together with you + 1. Best scenario is 2 floor guys that you will hire (+50-150 upcharge for extra time) + you + 1 friend/relative (since they can be paid with a pack of beers). Good luck.
