Layer Details
- Real space for two: At 75cm each for two people sharing, you both get room to stretch out rather than negotiating the middle of the bed.
- Movement stays put: Pocket springs compress independently, and the wider UK king surface adds distance, so a partner leaving hours before you is far less likely to wake you.
- Length for taller sleepers: The UK king is 10cm longer than the UK Double, which anyone approaching 6ft will feel in their feet no longer hanging off the end.
- A meaningful step up from a double: The UK king is 15cm wider than the UK Double, enough that you notice the difference every night rather than only on paper.
- Room for the dog: If a pet on the bed is part of the routine, the extra width means it claims its patch without pushing either of you to the edge.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want more personal space than a double gives you, one of you is tall enough to appreciate the 200cm length, or you sleep on different schedules and want a partner's early alarm to disturb you as little as possible.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of the 2.7m x 2.9m we suggest for a UK king, or you mostly sleep alone. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Is the Heritage 3000 UK king big enough for a couple?
Yes, comfortably for most. It gives 75cm each for two people sharing, and the pocket spring design means each side responds to its own sleeper. If one of you spreads out or a dog joins you most nights, it is a far easier size to share than a double.
Will the UK king Heritage 3000 suit a tall sleeper?
At 200cm long, it is 10cm longer than the UK Double, which makes a genuine difference for anyone around 6ft or over. British Bed Company doesn't publish depth details for this mattress, so if overall bed height matters to you, ask the brand directly before buying.
What room size do I need for this mattress in a UK king?
We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with 3.2m x 3.2m feeling comfortable. That is our guidance rather than the manufacturer's. Measure with wardrobes and door swings in mind: a new build master bedroom can feel a lot smaller once the furniture is in.
Should I get the Heritage 3000 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. If your room meets the 3m x 2.9m we suggest for the UK super king and you want maximum space, size up. If space is tighter, the UK king is the easier fit.
Does a bigger size reduce partner disturbance on a pocket spring mattress?
It helps. Pocket springs already limit motion transfer because each spring moves on its own, and the UK king adds physical distance between you. If one of you gets up hours before the other, that combination gives the sleeping partner a better chance of staying asleep.
