Hi Kim, Bed Bath & Beyond has what you want at about $15.00

I am having the same problem. I'm wondering if I make an elastic band to loop them together at the head and foot, will they still be able to move independently enough to adjust to one head raised and the other one not. I wish that I had never bought this bed. We are miserable.

Hello,

I just fixed this problem on my bed with two 5 inch x 18 inch 3/4 inch thick boards.

I drilled two 2 and 1/8 inch holes in them one foot apart (Your frame legs may be closer or further apart). I lifted the bed and placed one leg from each frame in the holes of one board, and repeated the process on the other end of the bed.

The center legs of the bed can no longer separate and the frames are held tightly together.

Have thought about a split for weight distribution, would a headboard and tailboard meet the brief

I have the same problem with our split bed. His side of the mattress slides off and won't keep the sheets on. I've tried a Velcro strap across both of our mattresses and while it does keep them together better you can feel the strap thru the sheet and makes it uncomfortable. I wish we had never bought this particular bed. We've had sleep number for years but this one I do not like!

Try using heavy duty zip ties to strap the two inside legs at the head at the top of the legs and repeat with the two inside legs at the foot.

Kim, you can always try some straps up at the head and foot as long as it not an adjustable base on each side.

Depending on the brand of the adjustable foundation, I know of at least one manufacturer that offers "straps" to solve just that problem. Check with your retailer, or the manufacturer's web site, or there should be a customer service phone number in the adjustable base's owner's manual to their customer service.

If the base isn't the issue, you might try something to keep the mattresses from sliding on the base, I have heard that Rubbermaid drawer rubber, a thin rubber piece, normally designed for kitchen drawers, might work.

Hope that helps.

Sleep Well!

Hi Kim,

If the mattresses are sliding on the adjustable bases and coming apart, try some abbrasive shelf liner from Lowes or Home Depot. That will keep the matts from sliding across the base. If the bases are moving themselves, then you'll need to talk to the place your husband shopped at to see if there are straps or locking mechanism for the bases.
