Question:
What kind of bed sheets do we need to buy if we purchased a split king mattresses? Our king does happen to be on a 2 piece adjustable base. She can control her side of the bed separately from mine.

Your wife is correct. Split kings sheets really can help each partner get a better night’s sleep and it also solves a few other common problems with individual mattresses. I think you will agree it is definitely a well thought out idea. The standard king size mattress uses the normal king size sheets found in any department store or online and fits the regular one piece mattress measuring 76 inches wide and 80 inches long.
Ordinary king-size bedding sets consist of a one piece ordinary fitted sheet that is designed to fit like a glove around one 76” wide mattress. It also consists of one top sheet that can vary slightly in size from one bedding maker to the next. The set also should include 2 king size pillow cases that will fit king size pillows.

The power bases were once only popular in the commercial use of hospital beds. Hospital bed features include:
Great beds with many bells and whistles and the main selling point, independent features, so what’s the problem?
Advancements in technology and smart marketing people realized the benefits of enjoying these adjustable bed features in our own homes.
