Sex On A Split King Mattress

Nighttime activities are just as enjoyable with Split Kings as with regular Kings.

There are several benefits associated with Split King beds:

• You can customize the firmness (since they are 2 separate twin XL mattresses) if you and your partner have separate preferences.
• You only need a "mattress connector" (or gap filler) to bridge the gap between your twin XL mattresses. Amazon sells mattress connectors for between $20 and $30.
• You won't have any issues if you pair 2 twin XLs with an adjustable bed.

Note: Avoid any gaps in the middle, even if they are small. The bed has plenty of room on both sides.

Our top recommendation is the Saatva Classic split king mattress. Exceptional comfort at an affordable price. With normal use, it will last 10-15 years.

When it comes to sex, split king mattresses offer the following pros:

• Easy to use and flexible since you can select a different firmness for you and your partner.
• You and your partner can buy separate mattresses (e.g. if you like memory foam and your partner likes latex).
• It's a long-term investment. You can easily swap out the twin XL mattress if your partner decides to switch mattresses in the future (or if the mattress wears out faster).
• Suitable for light sleepers and active partners. There's less motion transfer because two distinct mattresses do not transfer motion easily.
• Both you and your partner can adjust your bed independently if you have an adjustable bed.

Split king mattresses have the following cons when it comes to sex:

• Nightly activities in the center can still be somewhat challenging despite the existence of a mattress connector in the middle.
• 2 twin XL mattresses are typically more expensive than a king mattress. Convenience and flexibility come at a price.
• It may take a little longer to remove and replace sheets and bedding.

An adjustable bed will not negatively impact sex on a split king mattress for all the reasons listed above.
