The split changes the components, not the footprint

Each sleeper has a separate Twin XL mattress. On compatible adjustable bases the halves can move independently, but the center seam and actual finished dimensions still matter.

Use two fitted sheets

Split King sets commonly use two Twin XL fitted sheets plus one King-size top sheet or top-bedding layer. Verify how the chosen sheet set is packaged.

Bedding fit

Use the mattress measurements, not only “Split King.”

Applicable market labels include Split King, Two Twin XL fitted sheets. These labels do not guarantee a particular finished sheet, duvet, comforter, blanket, or bedspread dimension.

For a fitted sheet, also measure mattress depth, topper, pad, and extra pocket allowance. For top bedding, choose the side and foot coverage you want.
