If you have never heard the term before you may be wondering, what is a split king mattress? A split king mattress is an option to buy a king sized mattress that is split into two XL twin sized pieces, allowing each partner to choose the firmness for their side of the king bed. This can be life changing for couples who prefer different sleeping positions, have health complaints, or simply have different preferences.
Benefits of Split King Mattresses
Compromise is important in a partnership, but that doesn’t have to include compromising our health and sleep. As we learn more about how the quality of our sleep affects our whole lives, more couples are choosing to invest in their individual needs while keeping the enjoyment of sleeping together.
✅ Pros
- Better quality of sleep: When your mattress firmness matches your sleep style you can sleep more comfortably, for longer, and help to alleviate any current back or muscle concerns.
- Allows for an adjustable bed: Adjustable bed frames are increasingly popular with people who find that changing the angle of their bed increases their sleep comfort. By also investing in an adjustable frame, you can transform your sleeping experience with a split king adjustable mattress, further personalizing your sleep.
- Improves sleep and mood: Many of us are sleep-deprived from a busy schedule. When we do sleep, uncomfortable or ill fitting mattresses can affect our quality of sleep and rejuvenation, leaving us feeling irritable, tired, and unhappy during the day.
- It is truly personal: When we live and sleep as a couple, it is easy to forget how individual we all are. Choosing a split mattress, king or California king size, is a vital piece of honoring each of your own needs, while enjoying life with a partner.
- Preventing future problems: As old wisdom tells us; prevention is better than cure. Sleeping on a mattress designed for your sleeping style and position can help to prevent back and muscle issues from sleeping before they happen.
Drawbacks of Split King Mattresses
A split mattress is a game changer for many couples who discover its benefits. There are a few things to be mindful of when choosing a split king mattress setup, including:
❎ Cons
- Choosing the right base: Due to its central separation, a split king mattress won’t sit on all bed frames and foundations. Ensuring you have a bed foundation built to take a split king is vital if you intend to keep your current bed frame.
- Extra cost: A split king mattress is often slightly more expensive than its king sized counterpart. Despite this, many couples find the investment in their sleep to be well worth the extra cost in the long run.
How to Decide: King vs. Split King
After learning about the benefits of a split king mattress, you might be wondering which style is right for you. A few simple factors can determine if a king-sized, split mattress, or even a California sized split mattress is best for your needs.
- King mattress: If you sleep alone, have no health concerns, or have matching sleep preferences as your partner, a king mattress should work for your needs.
- Split king mattress: If you sleep with a partner and have different health concerns, preferences, or sleeping positions, a split king mattress is an ideal choice to maintain optimum health and sleep quality for both of you.
- California options: A California king split mattress has a narrower width than a king option but is longer. The California mattress is made for people 6 feet tall and above, allowing them to stretch out further and sleep comfortably.
