King, California king and split king
A king (76 by 80 inches) is the widest standard size. A California king trades four inches of width for four inches of length (72 by 84 inches), which many taller sleepers prefer. A split king is two twin XL mattresses (38 by 80 inches each) side by side on a king frame, so each side can have a different comfort level and, on an adjustable base, a different position.
A king works best in a larger primary bedroom, with walking room around the bed and space for nightstands. Measure the doorway, hallway and stairs as well: a one-piece king is the hardest size to move, which is one more reason some couples choose a split king.

Why couples choose a king at Snooze
Two people rarely need the same mattress. Dream Mapping works for couples, with recommendations tailored for both of you, so the Sleep Coaches can point you to a king that suits you both, or talk you through a split king, where each side can be chosen for its own sleeper. An adjustable base raises the head or feet and offers custom positions that can help relieve pressure, reduce snoring and support a healthier sleep posture.
Motion isolation matters when you share a bed: Tempur-Pedic’s proprietary TEMPUR material adapts to body shape, weight and movement, and Snooze-O-Pedic, a custom line only available at Snooze, uses memory-foam layers for pressure relief and motion isolation. The store carries all major mattress brands, including Sealy, Stearns & Foster, Beautyrest and Beautyrest Black, Helix, Brooklyn Bedding and SmartLife by King Koil. Ask a Sleep Coach which models are on the floor in king and split king.
The fitting takes about five minutes
Your Sleep Coaches greet you in their Snooze Blues pajamas and start with Dream Mapping, a free in-store fitting that analyzes your pressure points and preferences in about five minutes. They then take you only to the king mattresses that match your bodies, narrowing the selection by around 85%. There is no pressure to buy and no obligation. For an online starting point, the Sleep Fit Quiz takes about 60 seconds.
