Split king mattress solutions

Investing in a split-king mattress means customising your sleep environment down to the finest detail. Because every individual has a distinct sleeping style, your preferred firmness will vary. One person might love a soft and cloud-like comfort layer while the other needs a firm or medium support system. With a split design, your partner’s choices will never affect your own alignment, meaning you can each customise based on your own personal preferences. This configuration is highly beneficial if you suffer from morning stiffness or chronic pain, as each side can be tailored to give superior pressure relief and maintain optimal spinal alignment. Whether you are looking for specialised solutions for side sleepers or require flat, rigid stability for back and stomach sleepers, we can help you decide on the perfect setup.

Split king mattress dimensions*

When reviewing standard mattress sizes, understanding the specific dimensions of a split setup is essential for a proper fit. A split king configuration consists of two independent Single Long mattresses placed side by side. This creates an approximate size of 1,840mm* (W) x 2,030mm* (L). This matches the length of a standard king-size mattress but offers a tiny fraction more width, ensuring it can comfortably fit onto standard king bed bases or within a compatible bed frame. This grand footprint offers slightly less total area than a massive super king, making it the perfect middle ground to accommodate expansive luxury while leaving sufficient space for walking paths and other bedroom furniture in a typical master room.

*Dimensions are approximate and may vary based on the mattress brand. Please refer to our Bed Sizes Guide for specific brand dimensions.

Frequently asked questions

Who is a split king mattress best suited for?

A split king mattress is perfectly suited for couples who have completely different comfort preferences or individuals who utilise an adjustable bed to find a more comfortable position to read, watch television, or manage health needs. It is also an excellent option for light sleepers who want to eliminate motion transfer.

What is the difference between a Split King bed and a standard King-size bed?

The physical footprint of these two mattress sizes is almost identical, but the core difference lies in the construction. A standard king mattress is a single, continuous piece of bedding, whereas a split king is composed of two separate mattresses sold together. This gives each person the ability to choose their own firmness level on one side without changing the feel of the other.

Can I use a split king mattress on a standard bed frame?

Generally, a split king setup can fit within standard king bed frames as long as the internal dimensions match. However, if you plan to use an adjustable bed base to change your sleeping position, you must ensure your chosen bed frame is completely compatible and does not obstruct the articulation of the bases.

Is a split king mattress easy to set up and manage?

Yes, a split king layout brings a lot of convenience to your home. Because the unit is split into two lighter pieces, moving the mattresses through narrow hallways or up stairs is much easier than moving a solid king size piece. We also offer expert delivery and assembly services across Australia to take the stress out of your purchase.

Does a split king come with a warranty or guarantee?

Absolutely. When you buy a mattress from Bedshed, it is backed by a comprehensive manufacturer warranty protecting against structural defects. Plus, our 60 Night Comfort Guarantee means you can sleep with total peace of mind, knowing you can exchange your selection if it isn’t the ideal match for your body.
