Layer Details
- Knitted cover. A soft knitted cover with breathability, which means heat can escape rather than building up at the surface. It's a simple touch but a welcome one on a memory foam mattress.
- 6cm memory foam. This layer adapts to the contours of your body for soothing pressure relief. In practice, that means a gentle cradling feel around your hips and shoulders as you settle in.
- 14cm Reflex foam core. A supportive core that creates the medium to firm feel. This is what keeps your spine aligned and stops you sinking too far into the mattress.
Layer details from mattressonline.co.uk product page, September 2026.
- 75cm of width each: Two people sharing get 75cm apiece, which means you can change position at night without checking where your partner's elbow is first.
- Memory foam softens movement: The 6cm memory foam layer absorbs motion at the surface, so a partner leaving for an early shift is less likely to wake you across 150cm of width.
- 200cm of length for taller sleepers: The UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, which matters more than the width if one of you is approaching six foot.
- A firm base across the full span: The 14cm Reflex foam core keeps the medium firm feel consistent edge to edge, so neither sleeper rolls towards the middle.
- Realistic room demands: We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, which most master bedrooms can manage even once wardrobes are in.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and a double has started to feel like a compromise, one of you gets up hours before the other and you want the extra width to soften the disturbance, or one of you is tall enough that the 200cm length is the real draw. It also suits couples whose dog has quietly claimed a share of the mattress and shows no sign of giving it back.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m minimum, or you sleep alone. We'd recommend the UK double instead; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m for that size.

Is the Bodyshape Classic king big enough for a couple?
Comfortably, for most. At 150cm wide it gives you 75cm each, and the memory foam layer dampens movement between the two sides, which helps if one of you is restless or keeps different hours. If you routinely share with children or a large dog as well, the UK super king is 30cm wider and worth considering, room permitting.
Will a king size Bodyshape Classic suit a tall sleeper?
The UK king is 200cm long, 10cm more than the UK double, so someone approaching six foot gets clearance for their feet rather than a toe hanging off the end. The medium firm feel from the Reflex foam core also suits back and front sleepers, which taller people often are. The UK super king is the same length, so sizing up adds width only.
What room size do I need for a king mattress?
We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, which leaves enough room to walk round the bed and open drawers. New build master bedrooms can be tighter than they first appear once fitted wardrobes go in, so measure the usable floor rather than the room on the plan. If you're under that minimum, the UK double needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m.
Is the king much bigger than the double version?
The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double. That sounds modest on paper, but split between two sleepers the extra width is felt every night, and the added length helps anyone tall. For couples it's the most common upgrade for a reason: more space without the floor area a UK super king demands.
Where can I buy the Bodyshape Classic in a UK king?
Compare the retailers listed on this page; the prices shown here are updated as retailers change them, so what you see reflects current pricing rather than a snapshot. It arrives rolled, so a king will still fit up most staircases, though it's heavier than the smaller sizes and easier to position with two people.
