A split king mattress setup consists of two twin XL mattresses, each measuring 38 inches by 80 inches, placed side by side on a king-size bed frame or adjustable bed system. The total footprint of 76 by 80 inches matches a standard king exactly. Still, the two-mattress construction gives each partner complete independence over their firmness level, adjustable base positioning, and sleep environment.
A split king is the most popular configuration for couples using dual adjustable bases, as it allows each side to elevate independently, so one partner can watch TV with the head raised. At the same time, the other sleeps flat with no disturbance on their side.
At Cloudy, our split king collection features twin XL mattresses from across our full lineup, available in memory foam, hybrid, cooling, firm, and plush constructions across every price point.
Here is what you need to look for in a split king mattress:
Each twin XL in a split king measures 38 inches by 80 inches. Two placed side by side create a total surface area of 76 by 80 inches, matching a standard king mattress exactly.
These mattresses are designed to work seamlessly with dual adjustable bases, allowing two Twin XL mattresses to sit side by side on separate foundations.
This setup lets each sleeper independently adjust the head and foot of their bed to their preferred positions, making it easy to customize comfort for reading and watching TV.
Each partner in a split king setup can choose a completely different mattress, from a firm, supportive hybrid on one side to a plush or memory foam on the other. This is the most complete sleep customization available in any standard bed configuration.
Many split king mattresses in our collection feature cooling gel-infused foam that helps regulate sleep temperature independently on each side, which is particularly useful when both partners have different temperature preference.
Because the two twin XL mattresses are physically separate, movement on one side creates zero motion on the other, making a split king the gold standard for motion isolation in a shared bed.
Our split king collection features individually selectable twin XL mattresses from brands across our full lineup, available in memory foam, hybrid, cooling, firm, and plush constructions.

Many customers are often confused about which mattress size to choose. Here is everything you need to know about choosing the perfect mattress;
A split king mattress lets each partner choose the firmness that best suits their sleep style, making it easy to enjoy personalized comfort without compromising on a shared mattress.
Designed to pair with two Twin XL adjustable bases, a split king gives each sleeper independent control over head and foot positioning for a fully customized sleep experience.
With two separate Twin XL mattresses, motion is less likely to transfer from one side of the bed to the other, helping reduce sleep disruptions caused by a partner's movement.
Whether one partner prefers extra support or benefits from sleeping in an elevated position, a split king makes it easy to create a personalized sleep setup for both sleepers.
If one partner goes to bed earlier, wakes up frequently, or gets up before the other, a split king can help minimize disturbances and make it easier for each person to maintain their own routine.
A split king allows you to replace or upgrade one Twin XL mattress without replacing the entire bed, making it a practical option as comfort needs change over time.
