"Convertible King" bed?

[FastHands]

Another annoying question on vacation rentals from yours truly. I had previously ruled out ones that had "king" beds that convert between XL twin and King as needed. Has anyone ever slept on one? Is that as awful as it sounds? My parents will be in the next bedroom, so sex is not a consideration. lol

Is this like when you push 2 twin beds together? If so, as long as the twin mattresses are comfy, it wouldn't be a problem.

Are they as comfy as a regular King? Nope.

I would just make sure that the gap between the beds runs from the head to the foot of the bed versus from one side to the other.

They make a piece that fits in the crack to make it so it isn't really noticeable. If the bed has that it usually isn't too bad at all. If sex isn't a consideration I don't even mind the twin pushed together bed because I like my own space when I sleep. LOL

I guess that's what it is. I just don't know if it's like tossing twin mattresses on a king frame, or if there was more to it that makes it more appealing. lol. Like some extra layer of awesome on top?

I ruled them out originally because it seemed ridiculous, but I'm having trouble finding places that work, so I may have to re-consider some.

Beds are like this on cruises. It isn't an issue. They lock together and have a flap that covers the crack.

We slept in a bed like this on our honeymoon (cruise). It was fine, but nowhere near as comfortable as our king bed at home.

my mom has slept on one and said it's very comfy- her friend owns a condo in FL and when they take a girls trip she sleeps there, like PP said they have a thing in the middle and I beleive my mom said the one she's slept on has like an egg carton topper piece so you can't tell ever. She wants to get one for their beach house now too

Awesome. This opens up a bunch of options. I'm really not a fancy lady (lol), so it doesn't have to be the most awesome bed ever. I just don't want it to be awful, and it sounds like it will be perfectly time. Thanks ladies!
