5. The system of claim 4 , wherein detecting user activity on the remote control comprises:

receiving an indication from an accelerometer of the remote control the remote control has moved.

6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the remote control is further configured to:

receive an indication that a button has been depressed on the remote control; and

based on receiving the indication:

retrieve a current pressure setting for the right-side air chamber; and

present the current pressure setting for the right-side air chamber.

7. The system of claim 3 , wherein the remote control is further configured to:

detect user activity on the remote control; and

determine that the user activity occurred when the first message was presented on the display;

retrieve a current pressure setting for the left-side air chamber; and

presenting the current pressure setting on the display.

8. A system comprising:

a mattress having a head, a foot, a left side, and a right side, the mattress comprising a plurality of air chambers including a left-side air chamber for support of a left-side user and a right-side air chamber for simultaneous support of a right-side user; and

a remote control comprising a display, the remote control configured to:

present a user interface on the display to label the left-side air chamber;

receive, responsive to presenting the user interface on the display to label the left-side air chamber, a label from a user for the left-side air chamber;

present, responsive to receiving the label from the user for the left-side air chamber, a prompt to the user on the display to enter a pressure setting for the left-side air chamber, the prompt including the label received from the user;

receive, responsive to presenting the prompt to the user on the display to enter the pressure setting for the left-side air chamber, the pressure setting for the left-side air chamber from the user; and

transmit, responsive to receiving the pressure setting for the left-side air chamber from the user, a control signal to instruct the system to adjust the pressure of the left-side air chamber to the pressure setting.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the remote control is further configured to:

present a user interface on the display to label the right-side air chamber of the plurality of air chambers;

receive a label from the user for the right-side air chamber;

present a prompt to the user on the display to enter a pressure setting for the right-side air chamber, the prompt including the label received from the user for the right-side air chamber;

receive a pressure setting for the right-side air chamber from the user; and

transmitting a control signal to instruct the right-side air chamber to adjust pressure to the pressure setting for the right-side air chamber.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the remote control is further configured to:

present a first message on the display when no user activity is detected on the remote control after a delay period, the first message including the label for the left-side air chamber;

wait a predetermined period of time; and

remove the first message and presenting a second message on the display, the second message including the label for the right-side air chamber.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the remote control is further configured to:

detect user activity on the remote control; and

determine that the user activity occurred when the first message was presented on the display;

retrieve a current pressure setting for the left-side air chamber; and

presenting the current pressure setting on the display.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein detecting user activity on the remote control comprises:

receiving an indication from an accelerometer of the remote control the remote control has moved.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the remote control is further configured to:

receive an indication that a button has been depressed on the remote control; and
