Arthur Sleep Emperor Arthur King Size Mattress
The Emperor Arthur from Arthur Sleep is a pocket spring mattress with a medium firm feel, which means the springs respond to your body individually rather than moving as one unit, so you should feel less of a partner's movement.

Key benefits
- Room to sleep apart, together: At 75cm each for two people sharing, you can both change position freely without meeting in the middle.
- Pocket springs plus width: Independent springs already dampen movement, and the UK king's extra width puts more distance between you, so an early alarm on one side disturbs the other less.
- Length for taller sleepers: At 200cm, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, which stops feet hanging off the end for anyone approaching 6ft.
- Fits a normal master bedroom: We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m, which most UK master bedrooms can manage without sacrificing wardrobes or walking space.
- Space to spare for company: If a child or the dog joins you most mornings, the extra width absorbs the intrusion rather than pushing someone to the edge.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and a double has started to feel like a compromise, especially if one of you gets up hours before the other and the movement wakes their partner. It also suits couples where one of you is approaching 6ft, since the 200cm length is a genuine upgrade over standard-length sizes. Your room measures at least 2.7m x 2.9m.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of 2.7m x 2.9m, or you sleep alone. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which is 15cm narrower and needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space.

FAQ's
How much space do two people get on the Emperor Arthur in a UK king?
You get 75cm each for two people sharing, across a total width of 150cm. That is 15cm more width than the UK double gives a couple, and on a pocket spring build like this one the extra distance between you does noticeable work in cutting partner disturbance.
Will the UK king Emperor Arthur fit my bedroom?
The mattress itself measures 150 x 200cm, or 5ft x 6ft 6in. We suggest a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m so you can open wardrobes and walk round both sides. New build masters can be tighter than they look on the plan, so measure with the fitted furniture in mind.
Is the UK king Emperor Arthur long enough for someone over 6ft?
At 200cm long it suits most taller sleepers comfortably, and it is 10cm longer than the UK double, which is often the difference people over 6ft actually feel. If you want length with even more width, the UK super king matches the UK king's length exactly.
Should I get the Emperor Arthur in a UK king or a UK super king?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king and the same length, so it is purely a width decision. It suits couples who want maximum separation, but we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m of room for it. If your bedroom is closer to 2.7m x 2.9m, the UK king is the safer fit.
Does a UK king reduce partner disturbance on the Emperor Arthur?
It helps in two ways. The pocket springs compress individually, so movement on one side transfers less to the other, and the 75cm each gives you physical separation on top. If one of you leaves for work hours before the other, that combination makes the early exit far easier to sleep through.
