Split mattress bed - does anyone have one? I have some questions!

[HappyBinosaur]

My husband snores and also moves a lot in his sleep but I’m sick of us sleeping separately. I am now using amazing ear plugs but the wriggling is still an issue!

We are moving house soon and have room for a King or Super king bed. I’d like one with 2 mattresses and 2 bases clipped together as at hotels this has made sleeping with him easier.

I don’t want the adjustable type of split bed that goes up and down. Does anyone have one like this? Where was it from? Does it help if your partner wriggles a lot?

Yup we have a zip link super king. We don't have them zipped and they are made up as two singles, we have a single duvet each which is a game changer. We both sleep better and still have the good bits of sharing a bed

We have a super king and two single mattresses. Also single duvets. We don't wake each other up wriggling or moving about (I'm a wriggler, DH very light sleeper). As you say, it's like hotel set-up.

The zip link beds seemed to be much more expensive when we were looking for little benefit. Agree, good earplugs are important!

Interesting post, my husband and I have always had some issues sleeping in sake bed, he then started coming to bed later n kept quiet n that worked for a time. Then he was ill with v bad cough and he stayed in lounge on a camping air mattress bit now better 4wks later we're trying to adjust again to being in same bed. He snores on his back so always nudging him over, has various groaning moaning sounds however he sleeps and sometimes does the hand on head elbow drop motion. I'm a v light sleeper with issues when woken up getting back to sleep, get racing heartbeat, then watching n listening for next sound then struggle to get back into whatever was dreaming about (worse if don't like what was dreaming about). Takes me ages to fallback asleep sometimes 2-3hrs. The other day I went in lounge as felt bad for him not having proper mattress during the week. Want to find a solution where we both sleep well. Considering whether mattress needs changing as 8 years old, I use earplugs the wax ones that squash in gap but noise cancelling can be worse, I sleep with white fan noise n need consistent sound to fall asleep...over 40 n starting to wonder if I'm fixed in my ways n we need something more permanent setup in a second room which is tricky for sound reasons. Please advise...sorry for essay,thanks

The thing that worked for us was separate rooms! I think zipped mattresses can sort of move each other.... so separate mattresses on the same base might work better. You can also have different levels of firmness if that's what you need. Or just twin beds! They're not fashionable but used to be the norm.

We have a super king bed with 2 single mattresses. They can be zipped together but ours aren't. They never move at all. My other half is an incredibly restless sleeper and our daughter used to come in from the next room when he was snoring, the cat would stand on his chest and bat his face some nights. Pretty sure the new bed saved our marriage and quite possibly his life. Best money I ever spent. He still snores sometimes but I have a policy that any time he disturbs me I wake him up

We have a split adjustable bed. I thought the gap was going to be a big deal. It’s not. I adore our sleeping arrangement. We both sleep so much better and couple time is not an issue.

Interesting ideas, but how do other people deal with the trying to sleep for two hrs aspects culminating in rapid heartbeat followed by tears followed by grunts n frustration. He doesn't get a good night's sleep either with me waking him, but airbed not good for his back etc...sleeping separately works best for me but I do have a lot of associated guilt but at 2am when trying to sleep I think to myself why???
