Is one partner double mattress or two single mattresses better?

Partner double mattress

You know the feeling. You want to move to your partner's side of the bed when you suddenly fit into the gap between the mattresses. The romance is gone. And a shared sheet does not solve this problem by any means.

That's why they exist partner double mattress, where there is no gap between the mattresses. Double mattresses are usually 160, 180 or 200 cm wide. The length varies between 200 and 220 centimeters. 

It is generally said that one large partner double mattress is only suitable for couples who have similar preferences regarding the hardness of the mattress and want to sleep on the same surface. 

For our mattress SARA however, this rule does not apply. With our mattresses the hardness of each half of the mattress may be different according to individual needs of each of the partners.  Thanks to integrated orthopedic lamellar grids each partner can have their own weight category. JOne half of the SÁRA mattress can therefore be softer, the other half firmer. All our double mattresses have in common is the cover that holds the entire mattress together.

We manufacture all our mattresses in our workshop in Valašské Meziříčí, that is why we are able to make you a double mattress precisely tailored so that you can feel fresh and rested every morning.

Our partner double mattress SÁRA perfectly adapts to the needs of both partners, without a space in the middle and without interfering with each other when rolling over during sleep. 

Two separate mattresses

The second option is two separate mattresses. Their advantages include easier maintenance and handling. Cover without problems can also be washed in a regular washing machine. In addition, it is easier to ventilate or rotate the mattress, as it weighs less than a double mattress. If in the end you decide on two separate mattresses, it is important that they are the same height, size and are suitable for your type of frame and bed. 

For two single mattresses, the gap between the mattresses can be solved by purchasing a common mattress protector.

TIP: The mattress should be fixed in the bed so that it does not shift. Therefore, we recommend embedding the SÁRA mattress at least 5 cm below the upper edge of the sideboard.
