Split mattress for king-size bed. Yay or nay?

I love mine. We have had a split king Sleep Number bed for about the last 10 years or so. It was pricy when we bought it, but is still very comfortable and we would definitely buy another when this one wears out. I sit up to read and also elevate my feet a bit, Dh doesn’t use the adjustable feature much, but said he wanted it to help him sit up to get out of bed when he needed help. Well, that hadn’t happened yet, but we still like the adjustable feature.

We have this bed as well. I can only sleep in a Zero G position for back reasons, and DH has to sleep flat for the same reasons, so the split king with the adjustable base works perfectly for us.

A foam wedge is sold that makes that gap go away.  I've seen it advertised.

We moved from a queen to a split king about a year ago. It has been successful for us in that DH definitely needs to be elevated a bit to sleep now and I sometimes do. Also for awhile we had different mattresses on the bases. Dh had one he loved but it was an air mattress that just couldn't hold up to long term use. We are currently both using Sleep Number mattresses but I'm thinking of going back to a conventional one that works with an adjustable base. We like the flexibility of being able to each have what we want in one bed.

The downside is that when I have the bed to myself I like to really sprawl out and that is harder to do I find with two different mattresses. You are probably supposed to use one large sheet and blanket over both bases but that just didn't work for us. So I tend to get tangled in his twin sheet if I try to stretch out over on his side. The other downside is the edging of the mattress. You just can't really lay in the middle of the bed.

This princess has yet to find the perfect bed.

We have a split bed king and love it. DH needs to be elevated and I don't so it works well for us. The gap doesn't bother us.

Love the split. I love that I can lift DHs side to help with the snoring in the middle of the night.

We got this one from Costco right after DHs surgery and before mine this year and it has been a lifesaver for healing, and his snoring. We don't snuggle as much now, but I still sleep with my leg flung across him. They do slide a bit if we're having sex and laying across the bed so I just make sure to scoot on his side first The price was right and the mattresses are really comfortable.

Love it! We just switched to a split king on adjustable bases two months ago. Now I can't imagine going back (next vacation will be tough!). Our mattresses are the TempurPedic ProAdapt Hybrid. DH gets up several times a night and until we switched, I didn't realize how much it was affecting my sleep. Now I am so much more rested. I wanted to just get the split mattresses on a regular base to save money, but DH insisted on split bases as well. I'm a night owl and like to read in bed, where he is an early to bed guy, so split does work better for us.

If you can, purchase at a store that has an allowance return/exchange policy. We buy from Mattress Firm and have 4 months to exchange or return any or all of it. Currently we are on the fence, but may be trading the mattresses for the Tempurpedic Breeze which sleeps 8 degrees cooler. Either way, we are sticking with the split mattress/base.

My son and DIL have that kind and love it.

We have the traditional type and have no problem.
