King vs Split King: Which is Best?

  • July 31, 2024

You did it: you finally found your perfect mattress (thanks, Bob-O-Pedic® technology!!). No more sleepless nights, no more tossing and turning — from now on, it’s nothing but blissful nights of uninterrupted slumber, you shout!!! Until, of course, you meet someone you want to share a bed with and find out that they need a totally different environment to sleep. NOOOOOOOO!!!

But wait! Before you panic over a mattress — did you know that there’s a way to customize your sleeping setup so that everyone can get their best rest?

Enter: the Split King mattress. Looking for a softer, plush sleeping surface while your partner prefers more support? The Split King mattress can make it happen. Is the only thing that helps their snoring a bit of incline, while you need to lie flat? Split King to the rescue! Different bedtimes? Well, I can’t help you there.

So what exactly is a Split King?

Comprised of two Twin XL mattresses joined by one connected base, the Split King mattress gives you the aesthetic of one unified bed (no Ricky and Lucy setup here!) with the functionality of two separate mattresses, allowing you to customize the mattress feel and incline to each sleeper. And don’t worry, the beds won’t slide apart — my strong and sturdy base foundations ensure that you’ll still be as close as you want to be.

Shopping for a Split King doesn’t have to be overwhelming, either — thanks to Bob’s convenient  adjustable base and bed combos like the feature-packed Power Bob Essential adjustable base with Lush Split King mattress, Power Bob Ultra adjustable base with Twilight Split King mattress or  Power Bob Elite adjustable base with Prize Split King mattress. Afraid to take the leap? Don’t fear commitment 😉 — with my rest assured 90-day sleep trial, you can test out and exchange styles if needed!

What about a non-split King mattress?

Can two people ever find restful bliss on one mattress?

If you want a classic King mattress, there’s good news: you can still get customized sleep setups in one King mattress with my innovative dual-feel mattress! Designed with one half firm and one half plush, my dual-feel options like the Power Bob Elite adjustable base with King dual feel mattress combine the best of both worlds with supportive Bob-O-Pedic® layers that will let everyone blissfully drift off to sleep instead of staring resentfully at the other person as they snooze. You can thank me at your vow renewal!

I consider myself the luckiest spokespuppet ever because I get to talk about the thing I love the most everyday – furniture! Tufted headboards, rustic finishes, the difference between a sofa and a couch (yes, there is a difference)… I could go on and on. Oh, I just love furniture and I’m SO excited that I have this blog to share my passion with you! It may take me a little longer to create posts – have you ever tried typing with clay hands – but I look forward to talking furniture with you!
