A King base that moves as one piece.
A King bed is supposed to solve the couples’ sleep problem. But a standard King adjustable base — even an expensive one — moves as a single unit. When you want to watch TV at 30° and your partner wants to sleep flat, you are still stuck. The Split Top Adjustable Base splits the top third of the King frame independently, so each side elevates on its own while the bottom two-thirds stay connected. One bed. Two angles. No compromise.
Split Top vs. Split King — they are not the same.
A Split King is two completely separate Twin XL mattresses side by side — there is a seam down the middle you can feel. A Split Top King uses one King-size mattress with a partial cut in the top third so each side can elevate independently. No seam. No gap. Same King-size feel from the waist down.

Independent control. Shared bed.
The Split Top Adjustable Base gives each sleeper full control of their head angle — without splitting the mattress in two.
King-Size Frame — One Mattress
The base is a standard King size. Your mattress sits on it in one piece — only the top third has the split that enables independent elevation. No centre seam you can roll into.
Independent Head Elevation Per Side
Each side elevates 0—60° completely independently. One person sits up to read; the other sleeps flat. The motor for each side operates without affecting the other.
Wireless Remote Per Side
Two wireless remotes included — one for each partner. Each controls only their side. No sharing, no accidentally changing the other person’s angle.
Zero-Gravity Preset Per Side
Each remote has a one-tap zero-gravity preset that elevates head and foot simultaneously for pressure relief. Both sides can be in zero-gravity at the same time, or different positions.
Whisper-Quiet Motor
The motors are designed to operate without disturbing the other side. When one partner adjusts their angle at midnight, the other keeps sleeping.
Split Top King Mattress Compatible
Works with Split Top King mattresses available at Modern Mattress — Classic, Signature, and Artisan Split Top. We carry these in store at all 6 locations.
All the control. None of the trade-offs.
The Split Top Adjustable Base removes the friction that comes from two people sharing a flat, fixed surface.
- You read at 45° — they sleep flat — and neither one wakes the other when adjusting positions.
- No centre seam or crack between mattress halves — it still feels like sharing a King bed, not two singles pushed together.
- All the independent control of a Split King, in a King-size bed without the seam you can roll into at 3am.
- One partner elevates for acid reflux or snoring relief; the other sleeps flat. One base handles both needs simultaneously.
- Zero-gravity on both sides at the same time for evenings when you both just want to decompress after a long day.

Customers who considered a Split King and chose the Split Top instead frequently mention the absence of a seam as the deciding factor. They wanted independent control without losing the feeling of sharing a single bed.
Guests managing snoring, acid reflux, or back pressure describe the independent head elevation as a practical fix — one side elevated for relief, the other flat for comfort, and no fighting over the remote.

FAQ
A Split King is two completely separate Twin XL mattresses side by side — there is a seam down the middle. A Split Top King uses one King-size mattress with a special cut in the top third so each side can elevate independently. No seam, no gap, same King-size feel from the waist down. If you do not want to feel a divide when you roll over, Split Top is the right choice.
Only Split Top King mattresses, which have the partial cut built in from the factory. Modern Mattress carries the Classic Split Top, Signature Split Top, and Artisan Split Top. We do not recommend using a regular King mattress on this base — without the split cut, the head section cannot elevate independently. Come in and we will show you the difference in person.
Yes. Each remote has a one-tap zero-gravity preset that works independently. Both sides can be in zero-gravity simultaneously, or one side can be elevated while the other stays flat — entirely up to each sleeper.
