Why Standard Beds Leave Many Couples Compromising
Many couples on flat beds face a choice between compromising on comfort and sleeping in separate rooms. Different firmness preferences, snoring, and medical needs such as reflux or back pain can all strain a shared mattress.
Some couples now choose separate bedrooms to protect their sleep. Adjustable beds with the right sizing give couples another option by keeping them in the same room while allowing individual comfort.

7 Adjustable Bed Sizing Secrets for Couples
Secret 1: Get More Personal Space Than a Standard Queen
Queen beds in Canada measure 60 x 80 inches and are the most popular size for couples, but they give each person only about 30 inches of width. That is less space than a Twin mattress.
Room size guidelines suggest a Queen fits in a 10 x 10.5 foot bedroom, yet the main comfort issue comes from the limited space on the mattress itself. A standard Queen adjustable base still moves the entire bed together.
Couples who want independent controls in a smaller room can look at a Split Queen from Leva Sleep, which keeps the same overall 60 x 80 inch footprint while giving each partner separate adjustability.
Secret 2: Use a Split King for Maximum Independence
A Split King measures 76 x 80 inches and uses two Twin XL adjustable bases and mattresses placed side by side. Each Twin XL is 38 inches wide, giving each partner more room than on a standard Queen.
This setup works well when partners have very different sleep positions, schedules, or medical needs that require specific head and foot elevations. Each side can move independently, so one person can sit up to read while the other stays flat.
Leva Sleep Split King bases work with the Leva Sleep app, so each partner can control elevation, presets, and anti-snore mode for their own side.
Secret 3: Use a Split Queen When Space Is Limited
The Leva Sleep Split Queen offers two Half Queen mattresses, each about 30 x 79.5 inches, that join to create a 60 x 80 inch surface with independent adjustability on each side. Half Queen mattresses pair to form a standard Queen footprint while allowing separate controls.
A Queen typically fits well in a 10 x 10.5 foot room, so a Split Queen can suit condos or older homes where a King feels too large. Couples gain the benefits of split adjustability without changing to a bigger bed size.
Half Queen bedding sizes are less common, so Leva Sleep offers compatible mattresses and accessories to create a complete Split Queen solution.
Secret 4: Look Beyond Simple Head and Foot Elevation
Modern adjustable beds often include features that go past lifting the head and feet. Many bases now add lumbar support, pillow tilt for finer head positioning, massage options, and targeted anti-snore settings.
Couples can set each side differently. One person might elevate the head to ease snoring or reflux while the other focuses on lumbar support for back comfort.
Leva Sleep bases include lumbar control, pillow tilt, and an anti-snore mode, all managed independently for each side through the Leva Sleep app.
Secret 5: Plan for the Seam in Split Configurations
Split beds create a seam between the two mattresses. This seam can feel noticeable for couples who often lie in the centre.
Most couples find the gap minor when they sleep in their own zones, and many solutions exist for reducing its feel. Mattress toppers, connector pads, and well-fitted sheets can help smooth the middle area.
Leva Sleep offers foam and hybrid mattresses and accessories designed to reduce gap sensation so couples can stay close when they want while keeping independent controls.
Secret 6: Choose Bedding That Works With Adjustable Beds
Standard bedding often slips or pops off on adjustable bases, especially in split setups. Deep pockets, strong elastic, and secure duvet clips make a noticeable difference.
Split Queen owners usually need Half Queen fitted sheets, which are less common than standard sizes. Split King setups need two Twin XL fitted sheets plus split-friendly protectors.
Leva Sleep provides bedding designed for adjustable beds, including deeper fitted sheets and duvet clips that help keep each side in place as the bases move.
Secret 7: Choose a Bed That Adapts as Your Needs Change
An adjustable bed can last 10 to 20 years, so the size you choose now should work for future stages of life as well. Health needs, work schedules, and mobility can all change over time.
A Split King or Split Queen gives flexibility for evolving needs such as snoring, joint pain, or recovery from injury. Independent controls let each partner update their position without forcing changes on the other person.
Leva Sleep focuses on durable components, app-based controls, and compatibility with a range of quality mattresses to support a long-term sleep setup.

Frequently Asked Questions About Adjustable Bed Sizing
Can a Split Queen adjustable bed fit two adults comfortably?
A Leva Sleep Split Queen provides two zones that are each about 30 inches wide, similar to the space each person gets on a standard Queen. Couples gain the benefit of individual controls without needing a larger room.
What is the main advantage of a Leva Sleep Split King over a regular King adjustable bed?
A regular King adjustable base raises and lowers the entire bed at once. A Split King from Leva Sleep uses two Twin XL bases, so each partner sets their own elevation and presets without changing the other side.
Do I need special sheets for a Leva Sleep Split King or Split Queen?
Split Kings use two Twin XL fitted sheets, while Split Queens use two Half Queen fitted sheets. Leva Sleep offers fitted sheets with deeper pockets and added elastic, plus duvet clips to help bedding stay in place during adjustments.
How does the gap between mattresses affect cuddling?
Split setups do create a seam where the two mattresses meet. Many couples still cuddle comfortably by lying slightly on one side or by using a topper or gap-filler product. The gain in personalized comfort and fewer sleep interruptions often offsets the feel of the seam.
Conclusion: Choose Adjustable Bed Sizing That Supports Both Partners
The right adjustable bed size helps couples move from nightly compromise to more consistent, personalized sleep. Split Queen and Split King options from Leva Sleep give each partner control over their own comfort while staying in the same bed.
Couples can match bed size to room dimensions, manage snoring and medical needs, and use specialized bedding to keep everything in place. Leva Sleep packages and accessories provide a coordinated way to set up this kind of shared sleep environment.
