Split-Head Mattresses: Customized Comfort for Couples Who Share a Bed

Sleeping next to a partner shouldn’t mean compromising on comfort. Split-head mattresses are designed for couples who want to share one bed while enjoying more personalized comfort—especially when paired with an adjustable base.

At City Mattress, we offer a curated selection of split-head king and split-head queen mattresses that let each sleeper independently adjust the upper portion of the bed—perfect for reading, watching TV, relieving snoring, or finding a better sleep position without disturbing your partner.

What Is a Split-Head Mattress?

A split-head mattress looks like a single mattress, but the top portion is divided into two separate sections, allowing independent head elevation on each side when used with a compatible adjustable base.

Unlike a split king (which uses two separate mattresses), a split-head mattress:

• Keeps you sleeping on one continuous mattress

• Maintains a shared feel in the center of the bed

• Allows individual head elevation for each sleeper

This makes it an ideal solution for couples with different sleep needs—without the “gap in the middle.”

Benefits of Split-Head Mattresses

✔ Ideal for Couples

Share one mattress while customizing your sleep position. Whether one partner likes to sit up or elevate their head, the other can stay flat and undisturbed.

✔ Helps with Snoring & Breathing

Raising the upper body can help open airways and reduce snoring. Split-head designs let one partner elevate without waking the other.

✔ Adjustable-Base Compatible

Split-head mattresses are specifically designed to work seamlessly with adjustable bases, offering smooth articulation and long-term durability.

✔ Cleaner Look Than Split Kings

You get the flexibility of independent head movement with the appearance and feel of a single mattress—no separation down the middle.

Who Should Choose a Split-Head Mattress?

A split-head mattress may be right for you if:

• One partner snores or needs head elevation

• You share a bed but have different nighttime routines

• You want adjustable comfort without switching to two separate mattresses

• You value both togetherness and personalization in your sleep setup
