Hip pain, swollen limbs, snoring — whatever your sleep woe, the Ergo Power Base can help. It lifts your head and feet to a variety of levels, offering instantly relief as you lie down. You’ll love the way the zero-gravity setting, and how it makes you feel like your floating on air. There are three levels of massage with four levels of intensity that target your toes and head. However, one of the neatest features is that it senses snoring, and automatically adjusts to lift your noggin. Add that to the built-in USB chargers and the quiet motor, and you’ve discovered the recipe for the perfect sleep experience. If you download Tempur-Pedic’s app (available for both Android and iPhone users) you can even get data on your sleep patterns. If all of this sounds amazing — and it should, since it’s our top pick for the best split adjustable bed — you may want to check out the Ergo Extend Smart Base. It features four massage zones, and can also be controlled with Google voice or Alexa.

• Shopping tip: Select your base, and two split king mattresses will be added to your cart. To change a mattress type, visit its product page first.
• Works well with these mattresses: TEMPUR-Cloud, TEMPUR-Adapt, Tempur-breeze
• Promising review: “I love the split bases. My partner and I sleep very differently, and this makes it easy for both of us to be happy! I’m not able to lay flat and it’s nice to be able to prop myself up without having to use so many pillows.”

Buy from Tempur-Pedic, $3,398

When cozying on your side, you want a mattress to support your shoulders and hips. The TEMPUR-Cloud does a heavenly job at helping. It has a responsive layer, which means it moves with you as you switch from one side to the other. It falls on the medium side of the firmness level, but if you want a little more support, select the Medium Hybrid. It’s similar, but includes responsive coils that keep you from sinking.

• Shopping tip: Select your mattress as a split king. Once you do, you’ll be prompted to select your Tempur-Pedic base.
• Promising review: “This is the best bed I’ve ever owned. I was nervous switching from a spring mattress to all foam, but I have no regrets. My husband doesn’t wake up when I get into bed and he’s already asleep because the bed doesn’t move. Very supportive and comfortable.”

Buy from Temper-Pedic, $2,998 (was $3,398)

Whether you spend the day on your feet or stuck in a chair, this is the mattress to fall into at night. The TEMPUR-Adapt offers 40 percent more pressure relief than its counterparts, hugging every part of your body. The bed responds to your body’s temp, redistributing heat as you doze. Plus, it’s motion canceling. You may think that’s no big deal if you’re purchasing this as a split adjustable bed, but if you’ve frequently woken yourself up from tossing and turning — I know I have — you’ll understand how nice a feature this is. Another thing that makes this bed fantastic? The white glove delivery! Yes, the folks at Tempur-Pedic do all the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to. Couple that with the 90-night trial, and I’d say that’s a dreamy deal.

According to the Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, sleeping in an elevated position can reduce gastroesophageal reflux. While I won’t encourage you to down a plate of marina before bed, the Adjustable Flex Bed may help if you do. Its silent motors won’t wake your partner when adjusting your height, and the flashlight on the remote make it easy to switch settings even in the dark. You can program your favorite resting positions, and the base has adjustable legs if climbing into a lower bed is too hard on your knees.

Copper-infused memory foam and a moisture-wicking top also make this mattress a great buy if night sweats are part of your reality.

• Shopping tip: Add your adjustable flex bed base after you’ve selected a split king mattress. Select the white glove service, and Bear will install it, plus take your old mattress away.
• Promising review: “We go through a lot of mattresses, because my husband and I end up creating body trenches with a hill in the middle. My husband is heavier and tends to dent his side quickly. In just one week of having this mattress his back and knees stopped hurting, and so have my hips and shoulders. I have scoliosis, so finding a mattress that doesn’t hurt is like finding buried treasure.”

I can immediately get comfortable and adjust it easily to find the perfect sleeping position. I tend to flip around during the night, but I’ve found the zero gravity setting has kept me put, leading to a better night’s sleep. It’s also ideal for when my husband banishes me to the bedroom to watch my reality TV shows. The base seems really well made and paired with the Saatva classic mattress I purchased, I think I’ve finally found my sleep nirvana.”
