(OT warning) So I have a somewhat unique situation in that I want a "mega mattress". I am one third of a three-person relationship and we all sleep together. It would be really nice to not have to share a king size bed, yet our current setup, king and queen size beds side by side, does not work so well because of the joint between the mattresses. I know there are lots of solutions to the "join two mattresses together" problem, but they are all suck in their own ways. Enter internet mattress companies. I called a few, and none are able to make a mattress that's larger than a king, even though so far as I can tell there shouldn't be a problem with the process. Anyone have experience with this?
- Coding_Cat 11y agoI have (unfortunately) no experience with this. But have you tried getting 2 larger mattresses (or 3 regular sized ones) and placing them down at a 90-degree angle (crease perpendicular to your body)? Further, using a bed with tight-fitting raised edges will keep the mattresses together better than most beds. This would most likely have to be custom crafted given the size though.
- IgorPartola 11y agoThe problem is that a twin extra long is 80 inches long, and a king is 76 inches wide. Basically doing the perpendicular thing I would only gain 4 inches of width. Ideally I'd like for that to be closer to 24 inches. Thanks for the suggestion.
- tamana 11y agoHow large are you? My regular bed fits 2 adults and 2 kids and a cat

- anonbanker 11y agoI made my own extra-large (memory foam) beanbag mattress for exactly this use case. ten feet wide, eight feet long. Took a weekend to sew, but cost about $500 in materials. Highly recommended.
