Is it bad to only pay for half of a gf's Christmas present?

Yeah. it's bad. Don't do it unless you can buy the whole mattress. I was in the hospital shortly before Christmas one year, and my then BF came buy and gave me a collection of comics in a published book.

Then, at Christmas, he said the collection of comics he got me while he was in the hospital was also my Christmas gift.

I hope he treats his wife better than he did me.

You said it was shortly before Christmas. It's not like he's got well-planned gifts growing out of his arse.

Sounds like he married someone else because you were ungrateful and hard to please.

There was no need for that.

It really depends on what type of person your GF is. Its a generous gesture in any case. I'd suggest giving her the cash on a gift card, that way she can use it to buy whatever she puts a priority on. If she does use it towards a new mattress - great. If she wants something else, she can buy that instead, but that way you have given her a whole gift and not just half of something.
