Split Top Mattress Buyers Guide

 

Compatible Adjustable Beds with Split Top

When you buy adjustable beds for a split top mattress, this is because not all adjustable beds will work with split top mattresses. The main factor you should consider is having a non-wall hugger adjustable bed. This is because when one side of the mattress slides on one side of the adjustable bed, the mattress will move separately and move the mattress sideways. Some companies may claim their wall huggers work with split-top mattresses, but it’s crucial to ensure adequate separation to avoid strain on the mattress. However, when using wall huggers, which some say that can work with split top, they slid the mattress back 3 inches, which is not an actual wall hugger. Some considerations when buying an adjustable bed for a split-top mattress are discussed below.

• Do Not Buy an Adjustable Bed with a Wall Hugger. This is because the mattress will not last long with wall huggers and will not work properly. Wall huggers generally move the mattress in a manner that may not be appropriate for split-top mattresses. Some companies may claim that their wall huggers are suitable which is not true, but it is vital to exercise caution because they may not provide adequate support and may result in premature mattress wear and tear.
• Having the adjustable bed legs sync together, but the head not sync is a challenge because many adjustable beds can sync the adjustable bed legs and head but only part of the bed, which is not preferred.
• Adjustable Beds Not Made for Split Top Mattresses: Dual remote usage. While a non-wall hugger adjustable bed can be used with a split-top king mattress, it may be necessary to use both remotes simultaneously if the bed is not synced. This ensures that when adjusting, all sides of the mattress move simultaneously.
• Adaptor: There are a few adjustable beds designed with split-top adaptors. Many Kingship Comfort adjustable beds may accommodate these adaptors, but if one does not have the adapter, the preferred one made specifically for split-top mattresses is the Innomax Upperflex adjustable bed. This bed is designed to provide the best support and performance for split-top mattresses, resulting in a comfortable and reliable sleeping experience.

 

Understand the Different Split Head Lengths

When you purchase a split top mattress, the head length of the split king mattress can differ based on the manufacturer. The most common range of the head length is 31 inches to 34 inches. Let’s look at the details offered by two prominent manufacturers, Innomax and Kingship Comfort.

• Innomax: Innomax provides split-top mattresses with a head length of 31 inches. This measurement is used for the Medallion, Transition, Omni, and Harmony mattresses. With a head split length of 31 inches, Innomax mattresses provide ample room for individual adjustment and customization at the head section, catering to each sleeper’s preferences.
• Kingship Comfort: Kingship Comfort’s split-top mattresses have a slightly longer head split length of 33 inches. This measurement is consistent across all three comfort levels, including memory foam and latex mattresses. The 33-inch head split length of Kingship Comfort mattresses provides ample space for autonomous movement and individualized comfort, enabling a variety of sleeping positions and preferences.

 

Are there a Difference Between a Split Head and Split Top Mattress?

There are no differences between a Split Head Mattress and Split Top King Mattress. Both types mean that the mattress is split vertically from the head to the center.  Different companies call it different names, but these mattress types are both referring to the same style.

 

Split Head vs. Full Split

The split head is different from a full split mattress. The split head mattress is only split at the bead, whereas the full split is two mattresses side by side. Some pros and cons of a split king vs. full split are highlighted below:

 

• Pros and Cons of a Split Head King or Queen Mattress

A split tom adjustable bed comes in several sizes, such as split head king and queen. This split-head mattress, also called a flex-head mattress, is split at the top of the bed but connected at the bottom. This allows the mattress to have independent head movements when paired with a split-top adjustable bed. The mattress will not move or separate since it’s connected at the bottom where the feet go. The head’s split will depend on the mattress manufacturer, but the standard size is 32 inches long and 35 inches in the head that is split. Some common sizes include split top California king, split top king, and split top queen.

 

• Pros and Cons of Full Split Mattresses

The full split mattress is simply two mattresses place side by side. The most common sizes are split California king, split king, and split queen sizes. Each size has a different length, so knowing what size you need is important. One big con of this bed is that a line separates the mattresses. However, from our experience, the flatter the top of the split king mattress, the more even the mattresses lay side by side. You will not feel the line very much.

What Sheets Fit the Split Top King Mattress?

The sheets that will fit the split-top king mattress will be chosen based on the length of the head split. This is the most important factor since many split tops vary in length. Then we have the height of the mattress. Split-top king mattresses can range from 8 inches to 14 inches. Length is an essential factor to consider when choosing sheets for split-top mattresses.
