What is a Flex Head or Split Top mattress anyway?
The Flex Head mattress is a king or queen mattress with a 1/3 mini split down the top center of the mattress. This allows couples to have independent elevation adjustments without using separate twin size mattresses as with any Split King system. With the Flex Head design, couples can still cuddle since the bottom 2/3 of the mattress remains solid. Unlike Sleep Number models, RIC's x10 Adjustable Smart Bed also has Flex Foot which allows for individual partner leg adjustments too!
What is the difference between the Split King (or Queen) and Flex Head King (or Queen)?
A Flex Head Bed has a split in the HEAD section about a third of the way down the length of the mattress. This allows for separate control of the head portion of the bed, while also preserving the “cuddle zone” in the middle of the bed. The foot of the bed can still be operated separately, with our exclusive Flex Foot design. A Split King is two Twin XL bed’s side-by-side. The primary reason for purchasing FULL SPLIT King is if you still want to be in completely separate beds with no cuddle zone. Remember, only our FLEX HEAD mattresses come with FLEX FOOT, which means you can still separately elevate the foot for each sleeper.
Will I need special sheets with the Flex Head mattress?
If you already have regular size DEEP POCKET King or Queen sheets, they can still be used on the Flex Head King or Queen mattress. However, optimal range of motion is achieved with the Flex Head fitted sheet. You can easily order them from us (always lower than other retailers) in person or on our website - our mattress customers receive a 20% discount on all linen for the life of the mattress.
