Layer Details
- Gel Memory foam. A 3cm layer of gel memory foam with a fast bounce-back rate and strong air circulation, which means it sleeps cooler than traditional memory foam. You get the contouring comfort without so much of the heat.
- Reflex foam. 3cm of reflex foam adds durability, helping the mattress keep its shape for longer. In practice, that means consistent support over time rather than early sagging.
- Pocket Springs. Rows of 2000 pocket springs sit in individual fabric pockets that move independently and together, giving a responsive bounce-back feel. Because each spring reacts on its own, your partner's movements are less likely to disturb you.
Layer details from mattressonline.co.uk product page, September 2026.
- Room to sleep apart, together: At 75cm each for two people sharing, you can both turn over without negotiating for territory in the middle of the night.
- Springs that keep early starts quiet: The 2000 pocket springs move independently, which means one of you can slip out for a 5am start with less chance of waking the other.
- Length for taller sleepers: The UK king is 10cm longer than the UK Double at 200cm, so anyone approaching six foot stops sleeping diagonally or dangling their feet.
- Cooler across a bigger surface: The 3cm gel memory foam layer is designed to run cooler than traditional memory foam, and the extra width means less shared body heat too.
- Fits a normal master bedroom: We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m, which most UK master bedrooms can manage without the squeeze a UK super king demands.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and have outgrown a double, one of you gets up hours before the other and you're tired of feeling every movement, or someone in the bed is nudging six foot and needs the 200cm length. It also suits couples whose dog has quietly claimed a third of the mattress and shows no sign of giving it back.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than the 2.7m x 2.9m we suggest, or you sleep alone. In a tighter room we'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m and is only 15cm narrower.

Is a UK king big enough for a couple on different schedules?
Yes, and it's a good match for this mattress specifically. The 150cm width gives you 75cm each for two people sharing, and the 2000 pocket springs react individually, so an early alarm on one side transfers less movement to the other. If one of you regularly leaves hours before the other, the extra width helps as much as the springs.
Will the king size Bodyshape Gel 2000 suit someone over six foot?
It's one of the better sizes for taller sleepers. The UK king is 10cm longer than the UK Double, at 200cm rather than 190cm, so a sleeper around six foot gets clear space at the foot of the bed. Width stays generous too, at 75cm each for two people sharing.
What room size do I need for the Bodyshape Gel 2000 in a UK king?
We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with more feeling comfortable once wardrobes and bedside tables go in. New build master bedrooms can be tighter than they look on the plan, so measure with furniture in mind. If your room falls short, the UK double needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m.
Should I get the Bodyshape Gel 2000 in a king or a super king?
The UK king is 30cm narrower than the UK super king, and the two are the same length, so the choice is purely about width and room size. We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king. If your room can take it and you want maximum personal space, size up; most couples find the king plenty.
How much bigger is the king than the double for this mattress?
The UK king is 15cm wider than the UK Double and 10cm longer, at 150 x 200cm against 135 x 190cm. That 15cm sounds modest on paper, yet it's the difference you notice every night, especially if a pet shares the bed or one of you sprawls.
