So I've had a king size split bed for awhile now. I like the individual control, however, I don't like that the split in the middle really gets in the way of cuddling and activities. Was wondering if anyone has recommendations as to what they use to fill in the gap from time to time aside from just a blanket or pillow

I really wish sleepnumber had a perfect formed foam cutout I guess

I want to link the two sides of the adjustable base and use a bed-bridge under a king mattress pad to make the split king more like a king. Any suggestions on the best bridge/gap filler to get? The angled edges of the two mattresses seem to yield a bigger gap at the top than what I see most bed bridges advertised for.

My wife and I purchased identical split twin XL mattresses because we could not fit a king up the attic stairs (we converted our attic to a master BR). We will not be using them on adjustable frames. We intend to use a 2 inch king latex topper AND a king quilted mattress pad to go under the king fitted sheet we will be using over both mattresses.

My question is: will we still need a gap filler to avoid falling the the space between two mattresses? Or will we be okay with the two pads and the fitted sheet holding everything together? Mattress arrives soon, so depending on the replies, I may order a gap filler to arrive at the same time.

Thanks in advance for your replies!!!!

I've been renting a room for a year now and the bed is really killing me. It's two smaller mattresses in a split king frame. Unfortunately I could only sleep on one side of the bed otherwise I start going into the gap and it's really uncomfortable.

I bought this gap filler thing that helps slightly, but every once in a while I have to move it around because it goes out of place.

On top of that I also built a quilted mattress topper which helps much more, but I can still really only sleep on one side comfortably because I can still feel a gap or a bump in the middle of the bed.

So I was thinking maybe I should also get a 2inch memory foam topper to put underneath the quilted one? Does anyone think that'll help or have any other suggestions? I can't buy a new bed or frame sadly

Edit: solution was to move out of that flat. My back is so much happier for it.

We have a split King on the way and we're worried that the gap between the beds will be a trap for remotes and cell phones. Is there a bed sheet or other product on the market that would put some kind of elastic fabric between? Thinking something stretchy that could withstand one bed adjusted while the other is flat. I tried poking around Amazon but couldn't find anything like that.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good Split King Gap Filler Bed Bridge for Beds with Adjustable Bases? Me and my partner each have a Twin XL mattress that makes a Split King and want a Gap Filler that is comfortable to lay on for bed activities, but will also stay in place when one of us is propped up on their mattress with their base and the other one is laying completely flat on their mattress with their base. We wanted one that would stay in this situation so we don’t have to keep tossing it off the bed and bringing it back on when we want it. Does one of these exist?

My wife and I have a flex top sleep number king sized bed. We love the bed, but I would love to find a product that I could use to fill the gap when I want it filled. So far I've looked all over online and cannot find any products that are intended to fill it. Has anyone found anything for this?

Thinking of getting a dual king setup, for example two twin xl tempurpedics with separate adjustable bases.

Asking cause two twins is like 2000 more than a regular king.

My split-king adjustable beds' mattresses aren't the most comfortable. I don't regret getting an adjustable bed but do regret getting the split-king (two extra long twin beds together) instead of one.

These latex-hybrid mattresses are kinda flat and firm. I'm missing my tufted pillow top - both soft and firm.

I'd like to get either two split king (twin XL) toppers or one king sized one. Maybe eggshell or some quilted wool type thing, or possibly 2" foam.

From your experience or hypothesizing, would it be smarter to buy two mattress toppers or one large one? Is one kind better for this than others?

I adjust the beds as if one bed so they'll always move together, and I use a mattress protector which has corner straps plus a king bottom sheet with strong corner straps. Would/should the mattress protector go over the topper/s I assume?

My concerns: there may be more of a risk of the topper tearing just because the mattresses eventually always start to come apart regardless of corner straps and the weight of a body while separating might start a tear; two toppers might just make the separating issue more dramatic even if they don't tear. Lastly I worry about how badly it might bunch up from the mattress bending up so much.

Anyone have experience with this or recommend the "right" kind? Thanks!!

I am looking into getting the NectarSleep split king adjustable frame with 2 twin XL mattresses. I stay up late reading while my husband always falls asleep so I don't think we would want the regular adjustable one. My concern however is though that we will be able to notice the "crack" between the two mattresses while were sleeping (I am all over the bed but I won't admit this ever out loud to my husband lol). Anyone that has done two twins together, is the gap super noticeable?

Hi there! My husband and I are really struggling with sleep lately. Context: We’re 27 years old, married for 2 years. Currently have a queen hybrid mattress that has been great up until the last couple of months. All of a sudden I’ve started sleeping horribly and I’ve become really sensitive to my husband’s movements waking me up CONSTANTLY. I’m waking up anywhere between 7-15 times in one night and I’m exhausted. We’ve resorted to one of us sleeping on the couch most nights because we can’t take it anymore. It’s so sad because we miss each other and value sleeping in the same bed for the daily connection it provides in our relationship. We’re now seriously considering a mattress upgrade because we’re desperate.

My biggest concern is movement transfer, so I believe a foam mattress would be best. A split king sounds ideal since that would reduce movement transfer the most, but I’m worried about the crack in the middle of the 2 mattresses. We definitely use the center of our current mattress for cuddling and “other activities” regularly, and I’ve read some reviews about the crack being an issue. I’ve also seen people get things like a foam crack filler, a band that holds the 2 mattresses together, and retaining bars to keep them in place. We’re willing to get all those things if it helps. Ugh I feel like we’re too young and too newly married to get a split mattress lol 😭

My concern with a regular king size foam mattress is that it might not reduce motion transfer enough to improve sleep quality.

Other considerations: we’re mostly side sleepers but occasionally sleep on stomach and back. Both average weight. I prefer mattresses on the medium to firm side because I have back and hip issues.

What are your thoughts and recommendations? Would appreciate hearing from your experiences with a split king. Thank you!! 🫶🏻

Anyone here actually have a split king mattress? If so I am looking to hear about your experience with them? Was the space/gap in between the mattresses ever an issue or annoying? Do you wish you would have a full sized king?

We are worried that maybe it won’t be so enjoyable as it sounds, considering the gap in the middle. And also we feel like it might make it hard for our children and dog to sleep with us from time to time or lay down in the same bed as us and watch movies.

We are also interested in getting the split king bases as well. Right now we are looking into both the Tempurpedic and Sleep Number models.

Any feedback would be great. We don’t want to make any mistakes the first time around, considering the price tag!!!

We have a split king with adjustable base. We also have dogs and a 9yo son, which means our twin xl mattresses get split apart constantly. Every day I have to rescue blankets from “the crack” and push the mattresses together. Does anyone have any good methods to keep the mattresses together? Has anyone tried attach some kind of a bracket to the sides of the base to prevent the mattresses from sliding off, kind of like the wire bracket at the foot of the base?

Edit: I bought these brackets.
