Zip and Link Mattress: An Ideal Solution For You And Your Partner

Having quality sleep time on a regular basis is an essential part of maintaining your health and wellbeing. However, sleep can often get disturbed when we share our bed with a partner. Sleeping with a partner can be a wonderful and peaceful experience, but if you are both very different weights and have different sleep preferences you may struggle to find a mattress to suit you both. This can lead to a number of disturbances, such as rolling together at night!

If you and your partner struggle to find a mattress that suits both your needs, a high-quality zip and link mattress could be the perfect solution!

What is a Zip and Link Mattress?

Essentially a Zip and Link Mattress is actually two separate mattresses that are linked together to form one bed. They can also be separated to form two smaller mattresses if and when they need to be. This type of mattress can offer complete flexibility, especially when it comes to accommodating partners sleeping together.

Each Zip and Link Mattress can be crafted with a completely different spring tension on each side, which allows the mattress to cater to the requirements of both sleepers, and their individual weights.

At John Ryan, we offer 3 standard sizes of Zip and Link mattresses:

King size ziplink (5’0 x 6’6) – Comprising of 2 x 2’6″ x 6’6″ beds

Extra king ziplink (6’0 x 6’3) – Comprising of 2 x 3’0″ x 6’3″ beds

Super king ziplink (6’0 x 6’6) – Comprising of 2 x 3’0 x 6’6″ beds

How Can You Benefit From a Zip and Link Mattress?

Rolling together with your partner at night will be a thing of the past with a quality Zip and Link Mattress. This is because of advanced motion isolation technology that ensures each side of the bed works independently of each other, making sure that you and your partner’s body weights will both be individually supported. Springs can compress in the centre of a mattress, causing you to naturally roll to the middle, but this compression is minimised with Zip and Link.

One half of the bed can have a completely different tension rating and firmness level from the other. If you prefer a firmer sleep surface and your partner prefers a softer sensation, you’ll therefore both be getting the sleep experience you want in one bed.

Another benefit of a Zip and Link Mattress is that it can be far easier to get it into your bedroom than a king or super king mattress. Most stairwells cannot allow a full super king size mattress to be delivered, but a Zip and Link can be easily manoeuvred and delivered separately as two single mattresses. Of course, you can always detach and reattach the two mattresses  whenever you want, to suit your requirements.

Most couples compromise on their preferred mattress firmness and end up tossing and turning in the night due to discomfort. But our customers often share that they finally get their best night’s sleep in years after opting for a zip & link mattress. You’ll certainly sleep better when you’re sharing a bed with your partner that has been crafted specifically to reduce disturbances and to cater to both your individual needs, in terms of quality comfort and support. Take advantage of the flexible split tensions with our luxurious Zip and Link Mattresses, and you’ll be able to enjoy a serene slumber together, every single night.

How to Choose the Right Zip and Link Mattress

Choosing the right zip and link mattress is important for you and your partner’s comfort. Consider these things when deciding:

1. Individual preferences – As much as we want to prioritise our own comfort, we have to think of our partner’s needs as well! Have an open and honest discussion about personal preferences. Talk about preferred firmness levels, materials like memory foam or hybrid, specific physical issues that either of you face at night like back pain or allergies, and anything else that’s important.
2. Customisation – While customisation for each individual is ideal, specifically look for flexibility that allows adjustments on each side of the bed. Options like independent spring tensions to fine-tune support zones or switchable mattress toppers to change the feeling from plush to firm are great choices. Accommodating different tastes is what it’s all about!
3. Consider motion isolation – We naturally toss and turn throughout the night but, for uninterrupted sleep, minimising disturbances and partner disturbances is the key to a great zip and link mattress. Carefully inspect options to find stellar motion isolation in the design, whether it’s foam or pocket coil systems. The goal is to keep movement localised so it never spreads.
4. Size & dimensions – Getting dimensions right from the get-go ensures a hassle-free setup. Carefully measure the bedroom’s length, width and doorway clearance beforehand when going for larger mattress sizes like king, extra king or super king. You want perfect proportions for maximum comfort, so triple checking room fit and mapping out positioning is key.
5. Examine materials – This is a long-term investment that needs to withstand nightly use. Scrutinise specifications like high-density foam and coil gauge that indicate durability. Reinforced, breathable covers prevent surface wear too.

Lastly, turn to the community who’s already been there! Read through multiple customer reviews, focusing feedback on long-term comfort and durability in the face of heavy use. Learning from other real buyer experiences removes guesswork.
