People say that opposites attract, and nowhere is this more true than when it comes to bedtime preferences. If you prefer a plusher mattress while your sweetie likes a firmer sleeping surface, there’s no need to compromise if you don’t want to. You’ve got a few options that can meet both your and your partner’s needs.
Top Mattress Options for Couples
Couples already have a lot of things to think about when shopping for a mattress. You’ll need to find a mattress size that accommodates the two of you, and you’ll probably want something with minimal motion transfer. But what can you do if you have different comfort preferences?
Dual-Core Mattresses
As the name suggests, a dual-core mattress has two memory foam cores on each side. This allows you to choose between a firmer and a softer side, depending on your preferences. To adjust the firmness of a dual-core bed, simply unzip the cover and flip one side of the mattress over.
However, this option has a few drawbacks. Most dual-core models are pretty expensive, especially for a king-size bed. Additionally, they are almost always memory foam. So if you prefer the sturdy support of a hybrid, you're out of luck.
Split King Sets
Another option for couples with different firmness preferences is purchasing a split king mattress. The “split king” size actually consists of two twin XL mattresses placed side-by-side.
You can customize your split king with two different mattresses so you can each sleep according to your preference. For example, you may want a hybrid mattress while your partner wants an all-foam option.
At GhostBed, we make customization easy to do. Just give us a call (or send us a chat) and we’ll set you up with a split king that suits both you and your partner. This way, you can still sleep next to one another without making compromises on your comfort.
Tip: We recommend upgrading to our Split King Adjustable Set, which includes our award-winning power base. Not only will you have your own comfortable “side” of the mattress, but you can personalize it even further with custom elevation options.
Bonus Option: Mattress Toppers
An inexpensive way to change the feel of one side of your existing mattress is with a mattress topper. If you have a king-size bed, one partner can use a twin XL mattress topper to make their side of the bed a little plusher. The twin XL size will be exactly half of the mattress.
So Happy Together
If you want to stay close to your partner while enjoying a different level of firmness, you have options! Remember, when you sleep well, you love well. Achieving the ultimate in customizable comfort is a fantastic way to keep the fires of love and appreciation burning for years to come!
