Dennis, my king mattress is one-piece, but the foundation is two-piece.

Yes mine is that way also, we made a king bed out of two twins in the guest bedroom, but not sure if two twins equals a king as it seems shorter to me with less foot room.

King size foundation or box springs which ever you have is two pieces as you could not get a fix single piece into most houses, much less the bed room.
Something not mentioned is are you using a "FOUNDATION" or "BOX SPRINGS" with that matteress. Foundation cost some less as all it is a box but the box springs really adds life to the matteress. Many company will not warrant the matteress if not used with the matching box spring or foundation. They also will tell you the difference in life (in years) between the box springs and the foundation. It is much less with foundation as the matteress does all the work and takes all the wear. kt

With a queen size you can get 1 piece foundation/box spring. They charge you a few bucks more for the split box.
I have lower end models (not as fancy with the cover material) that were more like about $400.00 each set. They gave me a deal when purchasing several at a time.

Dennis, the king fits me very well, but then again I'm 5'10". My wife said that the regular king bed is just wider than the queen. To get additional length, one would have to buy a "California king". Not sure how much longer they are.
As it is, getting a regular king mattress into the bedroom could be tricky if the house has narrow doors and hallways. Thankfully, our house has all interior doors and hallways wider than normal because the family that built it had a family member in a wheelchair. If I ever move and build a new home, I'll replicate that feature because the extra expense would be well worth it.

If you get a California King you will pay through the nose for sheets and bedding.

Over a year ago my mwife and I switched from a common innerspring mattress to a Select Comfort bed. She always like mattresses on the softer side while I preferred firm. The Select Comfort seemed like a plausible solution. When we went to look, we found there are several (4 or 5) models to choose from, some with pillow tops, some without, different levels and type of foam in the pillow top, etc. When we tried them out we found we only liked the pillow top versions but not the top level (9000 I believe) as the pt was too thick and produced too soft of a feeling for my preference. We settled on the 7000 model and today you'd have a hard time prying it away from my wife and I. She sets her side between 35-45 and mine is between 65-80. We just returned from a two week trip and after sleeping in hotels for 14 nights could'nt wait to get back to the Sleep Number bed. All that being said, mattresses are a very individual item and the best is to try as many brands, styles, types as possible and choose the one that makes you feel and sleep the best.

My wife and I were at Disney World in Orlando years ago for a business conference and stayed at the Dolphin hotel. The mattress in that room was far and away the most comfortable mattress either of us had ever slept in. We were amazed and wanted to know who made it but there was no label on the mattress. I called a few people in the hotel and was able to track down the guy who buys them. He said they were mixed brand mattresses bought through a wholesaler and they were sent out periodically to be rebuilt. Go figure.

KW, I'd be curious to find out what the "rebuilding" process entails--like "critter" removal/sanitizing (mites, and other bugs).
Years ago there was an expose' on TV (reporter John Stossel) in New York City about discount mattress dealers selling "new" mattresses that were infested with bugs.
Turns out these mattresses were the same ones picked up by stores who offered to "dispose" of your old mattress if you bought a new one. Instead they would take them to a back-alley shop where (maybe) the outer skin was removed and new one installed, then sold as new. That didn't always happen though either as the expose' found---use your imagination as to what they found. Ewwwwww!

The Mrs. just bought three new mattress/box spring thingys for the getaway house. I heard her and the lady at the furniture store going on about "Pillow Tops" what ever they are while I kind of snoozed in a nearby recliner. I don't know what brand, what size, even what color, but ours sure is comfy. The check I wrote would have bought a pretty nice major power tool tho. Maybe that's why I was cranky. Frank.
