The days of traditional mattresses and box springs are long gone. Mattress technology continues to advance every day to allow you to obtain the best night of sleep possible, night after night.
You spend two-thirds of your life sleeping, so the quality of your sleep has a huge impact on the quality of your daily life. If you toss and turn all night or wake up in pain, you are apt to feel less than your best throughout the day.
Your partner is apt to be affected by your restless night as well, so the latest trend in the mattress industry allows you and your partner to sleep independently – yet together – with a flex head or split head mattress and an adjustable base. But what is the best flex head mattress for 2024?
Flex Head Adjustable Bed
You may be familiar with a split queen or split king bed that is two halves of a mattress pushed together. This can be a hassle when you want to cuddle with your partner or have a child or pet crawl into bed with you.
A flex head or split head mattress is a solid mattress with only a split in the top third of the mattress placed on a flex head adjustable base or two split bases. This allows you to sleep in your best possible position while your partner can adjust separately from yours. It doesn’t matter if you are a side sleeper and want your head elevated several inches and your partner is a back or stomach sleeper and prefers to sleep on a flatter surface. A flex head bed is perfect for you both.
The greatest news yet is that Mattress Express is one of the few mattress dealers in central New York that offers a variety of options in a flex head queen mattress as well as the king flex head mattress option.
We even offer hybrid innerspring options. The hybrid innerspring is a memory foam spring mattress, with the top half of the bed containing memory foam and the bottom half containing springs. Other options include all foam, natural latex and smart bed styles.
Hybrid flex head mattress options are the latest trend for 2024 especially at Mattress Express. Until the fall of 2023, split head and flex head options were only available in smart beds, latex beds and memory foam bed models without springs or coils, but now we have our new Therapedic hybrid line, so we have a flex head mattress in every technology available.
Benefits of a Flex Head Bed
Besides personalized comfort for you and your partner, a flex head bed set will relieve unwanted pressure on your pressure points like your shoulders, hips and lower back and promote proper sleeping posture.
A flex head bed will also isolate motion so you do not feel your partner toss and turn. It will open up both of your airways to allow you and your partner to breathe more easily, relieving congestion, reducing snoring, and preventing or reducing acid reflux, heartburn and indigestion. A flex head bed will also promote better circulation as well as alleviate symptoms of varicose veins, edema and arthritis.
Flex Head Bedding
Flex head sheets and flex head protectors are a necessity when purchasing a flex head adjustable bed. They are designed with the same split only on the top third of the fitted sheet, as well as the protector to allow your linens to stay on as you adjust your head and feet.
Our BedTech Solis Flex Head protectors and our Bed Tech Thread Microplush & Bamboo Flex Head sheets are available in our Mattress Express stores, as well as our Malouf line of flex head or split head accessories while supplies last.
