Superkingsize bed - one mattress or two?

*two new singles

We have an Ikea superking bed and mattress (but sleep with separate single duvets). It’s difficult to manoeuvre. After 8 years it’s not very flat. I think singles + topper is a good plan.

Would definitely change the mattresses now . And pad .

We have one mattress on ours

The norm in Sweden is two mattresses and a big topper. Not even always a big topper, people two have single toppers which to me seems a pain in the arse. Two mattresses means you can accommodate needs of each sleeper (if one needs firmer or softer mattress for example).

I am German and love two mattresses. No rolling into the middle, we can get what each person prefers.

Also, changing sheets for two single is a lot easier than changing one massive sheet.

It's really not.

Although I'll grant you it's a zillion times easier to iron a single sheet than a s/king!

That must be the practice :-)

We had a single sheet for a king size, not even super king, spare blow up bed and I absolutely hated getting it ready.

We’ve had superkings for over 30 years. Definitely get zip and links with 2 mattresses as much easier to shift around. Can also have mattresses to suit the individual. We have a superking wool topper from wool room. It’s fab!

And we use superking bedding. Twin duvets are a pain.

But a super king bed isn't the same size as two single mattresses? Same width, but six inches longer.
