You can have your cake and eat it too? No! Not always! What the heck is happening in this picture? Read on.

If you’re ready to make an investment on a new bed, specifically an adjustable one, read this first. I’m going to give you a few tips. My husband and I felt our mattress was ready for an update. We had it for close to 8 years and it was no longer comfortable. After waking up achy one too many times, we decided the old pillow top had to go.

If you’re single and have the luxury of sleeping in a bed alone, because let’s face it, that can be a luxury lol, then you just have to worry about yourself and your wants. However, if you’re married/have a partner then be ready to compromise and meet on middle ground. You’ll have to choose the right mattress for the two of you. After hitting up a store and testing out different types of mattresses, we realized we both wanted very different things. He wanted firmness but softness and he ended up liking a memory foam mattress. I on the other hand, surprisingly, wanted something a little firmer which ended up being a memory foam top with coil on the bottom.

To add another wrench to our dilemma we also wanted an adjustable bed, so that we could lift our heads up while still laying down and raising our legs because, why not?!

Who wouldn’t want to go up-and-down like the laziest of the lazies? HA! At the store, we were persuaded into believing that we could each have our own cake and eat it too. He could get the mattress he wanted, I could get mine and we could each control our movements separately as our little hearts desired. We ended up buying two separate adjustable bottoms and two separate beds. After all we were told, it was still a King and all would be fine. What we didn’t realize was that there would be some big con’s to that! When our two twin XL beds arrived I had already warned my husband that we would feel like we couldn’t cross the line, literally, and boy was I right!

Separation in the middle and different heights of mattresses, blah!

The separation in the middle of the bed was more noticeable than we expected. My prediction came true. The hubby could no longer take over the majority of the bed, because he’d fall in the crack between us. What made everything worse was that one mattress was a couple inches higher than the other! YES, see the pictures.

Not only was there a separation in the middle of us, but there was an obvious separation in height. This division, felt by both of us, like the line you couldn’t cross.

The kids hated it as well, because they could no longer comfortably lay in the middle of the bed with mom and dad. It was quite funny. We tried it for a few days and one night after we each climbed into our respective sides of our split King bed, my husband looked at me and said, “Hey Neighbor!” We knew it was not going to work and we went back and ordered the normal king bed. No more separation. So now what? We had to compromise on a mattress and we went with my choice, the memory foam top with coil. This bed, like all new beds, will take a while to get softer, so we placed a mattress topper on it for now.

Maybe the sales rep just wanted to please us and make each of us happy but it’s important to be informed, that the size in mattresses, is very important. Perhaps she didn’t know. The fact that you can each control your adjustable bed separately was enticing to the hubby, but alas, we’re still united as one. Now we have to both go up-and-down at the same time. That’s right, first world problems; but we’re finally connected again and feel united in our sleep lol.
