If you and your partner are in the market for a new mattress, you may have serious conversations over one key point: support.
Some like their mattress type as firm as a board, others like their mattress type as soft as a cloud. So even if you prefer a hybrid mattress and your partner loves the gel foam, you can have both in one split queen adjustable bed.
