What Is a Split-Head King Mattress?
Split-Head King vs. Split King
Who Makes Split-Head King Mattresses?
Split-Head King Mattress FAQs
A split-head king measures 76 inches wide by 80 inches long — the same overall footprint as a standard king. Only the head section is split, so it uses standard king bedding, though a split-head fitted sheet (or two Twin XL fitted sheets up top) fits the divided head best.
A split-head king is designed to be used with an adjustable base — that's what allows each side to raise and lower independently. On a flat foundation it works like a regular king, but you lose the independent-adjustment benefit that makes the split-head design worthwhile.
Yes. You can buy a split-head king mattress on its own to pair with an adjustable base you already own, or purchase the mattress and base together as a set. Confirm your existing base supports a split-head configuration before ordering the mattress only.
Yes. "Flex head king" and "split-head king" are different names for the same design: a king mattress split only at the head so each sleeper can adjust their upper body independently, with the foot of the bed joined as one piece.
Split-head king mattresses are ideal for couples with different sleep preferences. Each person can adjust their side for reading, watching TV, easing snoring or acid reflux, or relieving pressure, while the joined foot keeps the bed feeling like one surface rather than two.
