With wedding buzz swirling around Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, the Kansas City Chiefs star just gave fans a surprisingly intimate peek into their home life—and it all started with a mattress. On a recent episode of his New Heights podcast, Kelce opened up about his sleep habits, revealing that when it comes to sharing a bed, he has one firm rule: no split mattresses.
Chatting with his brother Jason Kelce, the former Philadelphia Eagles center, Travis broke down his nighttime routine like a seasoned pro. He keeps his bedroom temperature cool—around 66 or 67 degrees—so he can fall asleep fast and recover properly during the NFL season. But when Jason brought up adjustable, split mattresses—where each side can be customized—Travis quickly shut it down. He’s all about a single, full surface.
Why? Cuddling. And comfort. Travis admitted he prefers being on the same level when he’s sitting up or relaxing in bed. A split mattress, he suggested, just doesn’t offer the same closeness. Jason, who uses a split mattress with his wife Kylie, pointed out the practical perks—like adjusting one side during pregnancy or elevating a partner’s head to reduce snoring. Travis acknowledged the benefits but didn’t budge. For him, freedom to roll around and share the same space wins every time.
The timing of the confession couldn’t be more interesting. Kelce is currently gearing up for his highly anticipated wedding to Swift, though the couple hasn’t publicly confirmed a date. With their engagement making headlines and speculation heating up about their future, even a casual mattress preference suddenly feels like a headline-worthy detail.
Adding another layer to the conversation, Kelce recently partnered with Sleep Number as both an investor and brand ambassador. The company is known for its high-tech beds that allow users to adjust firmness and track sleep performance. Kelce says he’s been a longtime fan and believes quality sleep is key to staying at the top of his game. He’s expected to appear in national ad campaigns highlighting how recovery and performance start in the bedroom.
As wedding planning reportedly faces scheduling hurdles and Kelce weighs his long-term NFL future, fans are watching every move. For now, though, it’s the small, relatable details—like how he and Swift might share a bed—that have people talking. In a relationship constantly under the spotlight, even a mattress choice can spark major curiosity.
