Desperately looking for a solution to our problem! My husband (6' 1" 240lbs) and I (5' 6" 140lbs) are looking into replacing our kingsize bed with two twin xl beds. One of our issues is that my husband tosses and turns frequently and roughly throught the night. The motion constantly wakes me up! I am a very light sleeper. He has had rotater cuff surgery and is always adjusting his sleeping position. He prefers a firm mattress which is fine with me. It seems that no matter what type of mattress we lay on, it transfers motion. Even if it is slight, I know it will wake me up. Our solution seems to lay in the two mattress decision. I was wondering about covering the two mattresses with a topper to blend them together. Any thoughts on this? Any suggestions on where to get the toppers? I am so tired all the time....we are seriously in need of help! I was thinking of getting only new mattresses because we already have split box springs that seem to be in fine shape. Any, any advice is welcomed. We live in eastern Pennsylvania and have been to at least 7 stores so far and everytime we leave a store we are no closer to a decision than when we entered it!

I forgot to mention that we have King size sheets and comforter/bedspread vs separate sheets. I still don't feel much movement from my husband, nor does he feel me tossing and turning or getting out of bed. I prefer having it made up as if it were a King size bed, but with the benefit of our own mattresses.
