Best Split King Adjustable Bed: How to Choose the Right Split King Adjustable Bed Frame
A split king adjustable bed lets two people sleep in one king bed while each side moves on its own. The hard part is not finding one. It is choosing the features you will actually use and skipping the ones you will not.
The best split king adjustable bed is the one that matches your needs. Pick a voice control base if you want hands free control, a wallhugger if you the base close to the nightstand, lumbar support if you have lower back pain, and a hi low base if getting in and out of bed is hard. If you do not need massage, do not pay for it.
What Is a Split King Adjustable Bed?
A split adjustable king bed is two Twin XL adjustable bases (about 38" x 80" each) set side by side to form a standard king. Each side has its own motors and remote. One person can raise their head to stop snoring while the other stays flat.
Most stores stop there. Beverly Hills Bed also carries sizes that are hard to find, including split queen adjustable beds and split cal king adjustable beds, plus split top (split head) models that let you keep one king mattress while each side of the head section moves on its own.

Which Split Adjustable King Bed Features Do You Actually Need?
Voice Control: For Hands Free Comfort
Voice control lets you change positions without finding the remote in the dark. It is a smart pick for anyone with arthritis, limited mobility or a habit of losing remotes. The Supreme Series pairs voice control with a wallhugger design and massage.

A standard base pushes you away from the wall as the head rises. A wallhugger glides back as it lifts, so your nightstand, lamp and phone stay within reach. Add pillow tilt and you can look straight at a book or TV without stacking pillows.

Lumbar support raises the middle of the mattress to fill the gap under your lower back. If you wake up stiff, this is the feature that matters most. The 500 Series adds pillow tilt and an anti snore preset.
Shop the Split King Lumbar BaseHi Low Adjustability: For Safe Entry and Exit
A hi low base raises and lowers the entire bed, not just the head and feet. Set it low to get in, raise it to stand up, and lift it to a comfortable height for a caregiver. It looks like a regular bed, not a hospital bed.
Shop the Split King Hi Low BaseMassage: Only If You Will Use It
Massage feels great in a showroom. If you know you will not use it at home, choose a base without it and put that money toward a better mattress or a feature you need every night.
Split King Adjustable Bed With Mattress: Is a Bundle Better?
Not every mattress bends well. A split king adjustable bed with mattress bundle pairs two Twin XL mattresses that are made to flex with the base, so nothing bunches or slides. A split king adjustable bed bundle also means one delivery and one team to call if you need help.

A Word of Caution About "Best Adjustable Bed" Review Sites
Many review sites only list brands that pay them or run affiliate programs. A brand missing from a "top 10" list may simply not pay for placement. Look for reviews that show the full feature list and disclose how they make money.
Split King Adjustable Bed FAQs
What is a split king adjustable bed?
A split king adjustable bed is two Twin XL adjustable bases placed side by side to make a king size bed. Each side has its own motor and remote, so each sleeper can raise their head or feet without moving the other person.
Do I need two mattresses for a split king adjustable bed frame?
Yes, a standard split king adjustable bed frame uses two Twin XL mattresses, one on each base. If you want one king mattress on top, look at a split top (split head) model where only the head section splits.

Is a split king adjustable bed bundle worth it?
