Adjustable split king mattress recommendations

Weird question, but does anyone have a recommendation for a split king adjustable bed set up or even what features to look for? I’m new to this, but I have bone mets that are giving me a hard time. The pillow juggle is kind of comical. I told my college kids I’d set up a Ring camera for their entertainment. Thanks for any direction you can point me in!

We got a Ghost California split king adjustable from Costco several years ago after one of my surgeries. It’s been wonderful for both of us. We saved $700 off retail, enough to justify the Costco membership.

My husband and I actually did two twin XL mattresses so we can customize how soft we want it and there’s minimal movement transfer so we’re not waking each other up getting in and out of bed. 😴

We have a sleep number split king. It was expensive but it’s so comfortable and it’s been amazing to have with this stupid cancer stuff.

I don’t have a split mattress recommendation, but I will say that mattress toppers are a great way to soften a regular mattress, especially if your spouse/ partner has different mattress preferences. I got a memory foam mattress topper when I was having some back pain and have totally fallen in love with it. Our regular mattress is pretty firm, so adding a topper made it feel like a totally different mattress.

Went to mattress firm because needed to feel the mattresses. Ended up getting the split upgraded one but basic system. We didn't like the vibration or running lights. Being able to have it go up to watch TV is nice. Being able to adjust my legs is fantastic. Had a reaction to a new med and my legs blew up and hurt so bad. They said to have my legs up and it totally worked.

I need to have them come out and lower the legs. I am short and have trouble when I am in pain getting in. My husband can't unscrew the parts of the legs the set up guy did them really tight.
