Split Queen Adjustable Bed: Everything You Need to Know (2026 Guide)
Can you get a split queen adjustable bed? Yes — but your options are limited. This guide covers which brands offer split queen, exact dimensions, mattress compatibility, and whether a split queen or split king is right for you.
Key Takeaways
- Yes, split queen adjustable beds exist — but only a few brands offer them (Ergomotion is the top option)
- Each half is 30" x 80" — 8 inches narrower per person than split king (38")
- Mattress options are very limited — you'll need half-queen size mattresses, which most brands don't stock
- Best for small bedrooms — queen fits in 10' x 10' rooms where a king wouldn't
- Consider split king first — far more options, wider sleeping surface, easier to find mattresses
What Is a Split Queen Adjustable Bed?
A split queen adjustable bed consists of two half-queen adjustable bases placed side by side. Each base has its own motor and controls, allowing each partner to independently adjust their head and foot elevation — just like a split king, but in a queen-size footprint.
Split Queen Dimensions
| Size | Total Width | Per Person | Length | Room Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Split Queen | 60" | 30" | 80" | 10' x 10' |
| Split King | 76" | 38" | 80" | 12' x 12' |
| Standard Queen | 60" | 30" | 80" | 10' x 10' |
The critical number is 30 inches per person. That's about the width of a standard doorway. While it's adequate for most sleepers, side sleepers and larger individuals may find it restrictive. For comparison, a split king gives each person 38 inches — a meaningful difference.
Why Are Split Queen Adjustable Beds So Hard to Find?
If you've been shopping for a split queen adjustable bed, you've probably noticed the frustrating lack of options. Here's why:
- Industry standardized on Twin XL: When the adjustable bed industry grew, manufacturers standardized around Twin XL (38" x 80") as the building block for split beds. Two Twin XLs make a king, which became the default split configuration.
- Mattress availability chicken-and-egg: Mattress companies don't mass-produce half-queen sizes because few bases support them. Base manufacturers don't make split queen bases because few mattresses fit them. This circular problem keeps the market small.
- Demand is lower: Most couples who want independent adjustment and can afford it are willing to upgrade from queen to king size — making split king the dominant product.
- Economics: Manufacturing a unique 30" width base requires different tooling than the standard 38" Twin XL, increasing per-unit costs for a smaller market.
Despite these challenges, split queen is slowly gaining availability as brands like Ergomotion recognize the demand from couples in smaller bedrooms.
Split Queen Adjustable Beds Available in 2026
Split queen adjustable beds are extremely rare on Amazon.
As of 2026, only a handful of brands (Ergomotion, Reverie) offer true split queen configurations, and most sell directly through their own websites rather than Amazon. We recommend considering a standard queen adjustable base or a split king for far more options.
Other Brands to Watch
- Reverie: Has offered split queen in the past; check their current lineup for availability
- Leggett & Platt: Their commercial hospitality line includes split queen options that occasionally appear in consumer channels
- Custom options: Some local mattress stores can special-order split queen configurations from wholesale suppliers
Split Queen vs. Split King: Which Should You Choose?
| Factor | Split Queen | Split King |
|---|---|---|
| Width per person | 30" | 38" (wider) |
| Room size needed | 10' x 10' (smaller) | 12' x 12' |
| Base options | Very few (2-3 brands) | Many (20+ brands) |
| Mattress options | Very limited | Extensive (Twin XL) |
| Sheet availability | Hard to find | Widely available |
| Typical cost (pair) | $800-$2,000 (less) | $1,100-$4,400 |
| Best for | Small bedrooms, budget | Most couples, comfort |
Choose split queen if: Your bedroom is too small for a king (under 12' x 12'), you're on a tighter budget, or you specifically want to keep your existing queen bed frame.
Choose split king if: You have room for a king bed, want the widest selection of bases and mattresses, and prefer more personal space (38" vs 30" per person).
Alternatives If You Can't Find a Split Queen
Option 1: Standard Queen Adjustable Base
A regular queen adjustable base moves both sides together. You lose independent control, but gain far more product choices and can use any queen mattress. This works if you and your partner generally agree on sleeping position.
Option 2: Upgrade to Split King
If your room can physically fit a king (76" wide vs 60"), a split king gives you independent control with 10x more product options. Measure your room before ruling this out — many bedrooms can accommodate a king with some furniture rearrangement.
Option 3: Adjustable Wedge Pillow
If one partner needs head elevation (for snoring or acid reflux) but you don't want to replace your entire bed, an adjustable wedge pillow can provide 7-12 degrees of elevation for one person without affecting the other. It's not the same as a full adjustable base, but it costs under $100 and works with any bed.
