Non-Boussinesq effects in a Rayleigh-B\'enard convection system lead to a symmetry breaking between the top and the bottom boundary layers. We have found that the two layers adjust their temperature drops and the thicknesses \ensuremath{\lambda} such that their temperature scales \ensuremath{\nu}\ensuremath{\kappa}/g\ensuremath{\alpha}${\ensuremath{\lambda}}^{3}$ are equal, where \ensuremath{\alpha} is the thermal expansion coefficient, g is the gravitational acceleration, and \ensuremath{\nu} and \ensuremath{\kappa} are the kinematic viscosity and thermal diffusivity, respectively.
