Therapedic Aurora Split King Mattress with Head Up Only Base

A split king consists of two separate Twin XL mattresses and two independent adjustable bases placed side-by-side. This configuration is the ultimate solution for couples because it allows each partner to personalize their side without compromise. Whether one person needs to sleep elevated to reduce snoring while the other prefers to lie flat, or one partner is a late-night reader and the other an early sleeper, the physical separation ensures that one person’s adjustments or movements never disturb the other.

To allow the two sides of the mattress to move independently, you will need a "Split King" sheet set. This specialized set typically includes two Twin XL fitted sheets (one for each mattress) and a single King-size flat sheet and pillowcase set to provide a unified look. It is also recommended to look for fitted sheets with deep pockets and strong elastic to ensure they stay securely in place during adjustment.

Yes, this mattress is specifically engineered for flexibility. It features a TheraCoil Open Coil Innerspring system designed to bend smoothly with the adjustable base without damaging the internal structure. This flexible coil design, paired with the TheraFoam encasement, ensures the mattress maintains its integrity and edge support even when the head of the bed is fully elevated.

This adjustable base is designed to be compatible with most standard King-size panel, platform, and slat bed frames. At a width of 76 inches and a length of 80 inches, it follows standard King dimensions. Before installation, ensure your existing frame does not have permanent storage drawers or fixed cross-supports that could interfere with the movement of the motorized head-up mechanism.

While the physical split is necessary for independent movement, the mattresses are designed to sit flush against one another. The RTG Sleep 2900 base provides a stable, heavy foundation that helps minimize shifting. To further reduce the "gap," this mattress features a TheraFoam encasement that creates a firm, consistent edge. If you find the mattresses are drifting on a slick floor, using a non-slip rug pad or simple mattress connector straps can keep the units securely together.

Elevating the head of your mattress is a proven way to improve sleep quality for those suffering from snoring, sleep apnea, or acid reflux (GERD). By using the wireless remote to raise the head of the mattress, you can use gravity to keep airways open and prevent stomach acid from rising. This mattress also features TheraSponse Foam and a breathable Lycra stretch cover, which help keep you comfortable and cool while in an elevated position.
