SPLIT TOP KING ADJUSTABLE BED BUYER'S GUIDE
What is a Split-Top King Adjustable Bed?
A split-top king bed is an adjustable bed that works well with a split-top king mattress. The split-top king mattress is split on the upper portion, and the lower part is connected. Therefore, the bed allows the head to move independently while the foot of the bed is synced together.
The bed is new but popular with couples who have different sleep preferences but want the feeling of togetherness. The bed helps adjust the head section of the bed according to sleeping preference. The head inclination is best for snorers who change their bed often using the anti-snore feature or someone watching TV or reading a book.
Is Split Top Adjustable Bed the Same as Split Head Adjustable Bed?
Don’t get confused about the difference between a split top king adjustable bed and a split head adjustable bed. These are two phrases that describe the same thing. Both the split top king adjustable bed and the split head adjustable bed will be connected at the feet. They will also both be split at the head. This allows for the capability of raising the head portion of the bed to differing heights. The feet, however, must move simultaneously to the same degree. Not every adjustable bed base will work with a split mattress. There are several reasons why and we will go into that more below. One adjustable bed that does work perfectly with a split top or split head mattress is the Innomax Split Top King Adjustable Bed.
Sizes of Split Top or Split Head Adjustable Beds
The size of the bed is tied to whether or not it is available in a split top or split head version. The bed must be large enough to be split vertically and accommodate a person on either side of the split. For this reason, there are a limited number of sizes of split top adjustable beds:
- Split Top King Adjustable Bed
- Slit Top California King Adjustable Bed
- Split Top Queen Adjustable Bed
Two Types of Split Top King Adjustable Beds
Two types of adjustable bed can accommodate a Split Top King mattress. The first is made specifically for a split mattress. The second, is able to be use with a split top mattress or a traditional mattress.
Adjustable Beds Made for Use with Split Top Only: When an adjustable bed is made for split top mattresses only, it takes into account the mattress is partially split. These beds will allow the top section to mobilize separately into similar or different positions. The feet part of the bed will remain synced at all times, only ever sharing the same positioning from side to side. By ensuring this, these beds prevent damage that could occur if a traditional adjustable bed were alternatively used.
Adaptable to Work with Split Top King Mattress: Some adjustable beds can be used for split top, split, or traditional mattresses. To perform like the beds specifically designed for split top mattresses, a special adapter is used. The adapter allows users to decide how the bed is synced. It can be fully synced, for a classic one-piece mattress. It can be unsynced, allowing a split mattress to achieve sperate positioning on each side. Finally, it can be partially synced for use with a Split Top King mattress.

What is the Size of a Split Top King Adjustable Bed?
A split-top king adjustable bed measures 76 inches by 80 inches, similar to the king-size adjustable bed. The only difference is that the head of the base has a split to the top of the base instead of one piece or a split king, which has two bases that measure 38″ X 80″ when put together to give a full split adjustable bed. The top split length is 34 – 36 inches from the head of the bed to almost the middle.
Why Most Adjustable Beds Don’t Work with a Split Mattress
Two major issues can occur when you try a regular adjustable bed with a split mattress.
Problem #1
The first issue with adjustable beds that are not specifically designed for split mattresses has to do with Wall hugger technology. When a bed has a wall hugger, the base glides back as the head is inclining. Then, as it declines, the bed base slides back into its original placement. For a split mattress, if the bed were to do this, the mattress would move awkwardly since the feet are connected. This could damage the mattress and/or the base. It could also prove to be dangerous for the user.
Problem #2
Problem number two is tied to the issue of syncing. With a traditional adjustable bed, you can choose not to sync the bed or to sync the bed together. The entire bed will either sync or it will not. There is no option to sync the legs but not the head. With an Innomax Upper Flex Split Top King Adjustable Bed, the legs sync. You also have the option to move the head section independently. This is ideal for use with split top or split head mattresses.
Innomax is the Preferred Split Top Adjustable Bed: Here’s Why

This bed has an easy to reach sync button which syncs the head if so desired. Here are the aspects of this split top king adjustable bed that make it a top choice:
- Ability to achieve synced legs and independent head simultaneously, most beds cannot do this.
- Special wall snuggler to accommodate split head mattresses.

Things to Consider Before Buying Split Top King Adjustable Bed
-
- How Much Does a Split Top King Adjustable Bed Cost? The cost of the split top king adjustable bed can range from $1320.00 up to 1572.00.
- What Types of Split Top King Adjustable Beds? Not every split-top king adjustable bed is compatible with every bed frame. The Innomax split top king adjustable bed is recommended for traditional bed frames. In contrast, the kingship comfort diamond will function with platform bed frames due to its zero clearance frame design, but it will require an adaptor to work with split-top king mattresses.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of mattress work with a split-top king adjustable bed?
The divided top king mattress is the type of mattress that works with a split top king adjustable bed. Having the same mattress and bed makes it easier to customize the incline of the upper left or right side of the mattress. It was specifically designed to work with an adjustable bed to perform its specific function.
Can you use a wall hugger adjustable bed on a split-top king mattress?
Wall hugger adjustable bed cannot be used with a split top king mattress. This is because when one side of the mattress rises, the other side is not. Following this, it will move the mattress sideways, and the mattress will not be centered on the adjustable bed.
Is the innomax the only true split-top adjustable bed?
Innomax is the only truly designed split-top king adjustable bed; the adjustable bed was specifically designed to work with the split-top mattress and not a divided mattress or a single king mattress. The bed gives full range of relaxing positions and some dual head movements. The wireless backlit allows to specifically to position yourself and sleep well.
