Research note
Closeness, with room for individual comfort
A 2025 study of 143 mixed-gender, heterosexual couples linked closer sleep-onset positions indirectly with lower attachment insecurity through lower perceived stress. It found no significant association with sleep disturbance. This was an observational study, not evidence that a mattress improves relationships or sleep.

Mattress questions from couples, answered
Do we need the same firmness?
Not necessarily. Compare how each surface feels to both of you, and consider compatible split options if preferences differ. Firmness guide.
Queen or King for two?
A Queen is 60 × 80 inches and a King is 76 × 80 inches. Compare the space for each sleeper, then measure your room, the frame and the walking space. Compare mattress sizes.
Does Split King need an adjustable base?
No. Adjustable bases are optional; independent movement requires compatible split bases and mattresses. Check model, base and bedding compatibility. Explore adjustable bases.
