Split Adjustable Beds - Experiences?

[Anonymous]

My DH and I were looking for a new mattress and went to the Saatva store in DC to try some out. We ended up really liking the adjustable split mattress. We were not planning on spending quite that much on a bed (5k), but are thinking it might be worth it. I'm not necessarily wedded to that brand.

If you have a split adjustable bed, please share your experiences ... Would love to know brand, cost, downsides, etc. thank you!

By "split adjustable bed" I am going to assume that you mean the sort that is one mattress towards the feet and split towards the head. We absolutely would have done this with our recent bed purchase, but our preferred mattress brand doesn't seem to make these in CA King, which is the size we prefer.

We did get an adjustable base, and it's excellent. I would not write home about the massage feature, but we didn't pay for that--it kind of came along with things we *did* want to pay for.

Thanks! What brand is it?

We have to do split because my husband is 9 inches taller than me!

We have a Casper Snow.

It is not obvious to me why you'd need a split because of height disparity--you might want a Cal King, which will accommodate both of you nicely! Smaller sheet selection than Eastern king, though.

Love our adjustable bed but a king split may be uncomfortable.

Is this for a split where it’s really one mattress next to the other, so you can each adjust your side? I always wonder about the crack in the middle and if that’s uncomfortable or limits movement.

After thirty years, we each have our own mattress and adjustable mechanism. We just put the beds together. We both sleep much better with our chosen mattress and head and foot adjustments. We have always slept with our own duvets.

DH and I switched to a separate mattresses with a split adjustable base years ago and we love it. We can each position head and feet as we like. We feel each other move around less. We essentially have two twin XL mattresses side by side. I will never go back.

We have never had a problem with it, but we are also not cuddlers, so when its sleep time we stay on our own sides. The mattresses are heavy so they don't shift or ever create a space between.

Where do you buy sheets for that?

Here's what we did. Separate beds.
In separate rooms. For the first time in 40 years, I am sleeping through the night.

Yes exactly this and that’s also my concern!

I floated that and my DH was basically mortally offended

Because adjustment that works for my shorter frame don’t hit him at the right place

My husband and I are 8 inches apart. We haven't found this to be an unworkable issue with the single adjustable base.
