Prepare yourself for an honest review. Hows the product? Well, the build is great, the functionality is great. It does what it is supposed to do. But its horrible! Let me explain. Not trying to stereotype, but lets just think for a minute. Most of the time, one person in the relationship is larger than the other, right? And... whether we admit it or not, we take up just a tad bit more than our share of the bed, right? Not any more! With a split-king, you get EXACTLY a twin-width bed, which in my case (62 and 280lbs) is just too darn small. I used to count on those extra couple of inches stolen from my wife. No more! No man-spreading for me! Lets also think about that new crack in the middle of this Ozzie Harriet sleeping arrangement. That crack in the middle, the one where the beds meet? Yeah, thats where you lose your pillows at night, your dog, and even your mind! And the remote? In the middle of the night, you reach over, fumble on the dresser for the remote (cause the thought of sleeping like you do in your recliner isnt working out just like you thought it would) and, in your brain-fog, you press the wrong buttons cause your in a sleep-induced stupor...SANDWICH TIME. Trust me, youll wake up real fast! Back to your favorite recliner where you sleep so soundly and was the impetus for this absurd idea. Its got arms! The bed does not! All of the difference in the world right there, my friends! That warm huggie feeling you get in your ly-boy? NOPE. Again...TWIN bed! Your arm threatens to fall off the side of the bed all night long! And, if your other arm should fall into the crack between the beds? Hey, theres where the dog went! And last, but not least, youre not sleeping on your side or stomach unless you are GUMBY! And...in that case, you shouldve stuck with a flat bed! So...good bed...bad idea!
Great! Except it isnt...
