Two xl twins instead of king?

We have two twinXLs on adjustable bases and have been happy with them so far. The mattresses are memory foam, and we can’t flip them. I toss and turn a lot, too, and having separate mattresses has been great. The adjustable bases are quite heavy so we don’t have to connect the two mattresses with any kind of strap. They stay together – in fact, they’re kind of hard to separate because of the weight.

We got this bed to replace aTempurpedic that was well past its prime. Besides sagging badly, the movement from tossing and turning had become very noticeable. We should have replaced it years ago.

The only downside I’ve found so far is that it’s hard to find twin XL sheets that don’t come as part of a set. I prefer to use a king size top sheet and I have quite a few of those already. When I have to buy a twin XL set, the twin top sheet is wasted.
