Layer Details
- Soft damask cover. A soft woven damask cover that promotes breathability, which means heat can escape rather than build up around you. The patterned finish gives it a traditional look.
- 25mm memory foam layer. A 25mm layer of body-moulding memory foam sits above the springs, with small holes that seep out air under pressure. In practice, that means the foam moves with the contours of your body rather than trapping you in one spot.
- 1000 pocket spring unit. 1000 independently moving pocket springs respond to your movement individually. That helps prevent roll-together, so a partner shifting position is less likely to disturb you.
Layer details from mattressman.co.uk product page, September 2026.
- Space to sleep apart, together: At 75cm each for two people sharing, you can both settle into your own position without negotiating over territory in the small hours.
- Springs and space against disturbance: The 1000 pocket springs absorb movement individually, and the UK king's extra width means a partner getting up hours before you is less likely to wake you.
- Length for taller sleepers: At 200cm, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK Double, which matters far more than width if one of you is nearing six foot.
- Contouring across a wider surface: The 25mm memory foam layer moulds to each sleeper separately, so one of you propped up with pillows doesn't tilt the other's side.
- Rotation stays manageable: A UK king is a big one-sided mattress to turn, but the border handles give you something to grip when the regular rotation comes round.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and a double has started to feel like a compromise, one of you keeps different hours and you'd rather their alarm didn't become yours, or someone in the bed is tall enough that their feet reach the end of a standard-length mattress. Allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m of bedroom and this size fits comfortably.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of the 2.7m x 2.9m we suggest for a UK king, or you sleep alone. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m and keeps the same comfort layers.

Is a UK king big enough for a couple on this mattress?
Yes, for most couples comfortably. You get 75cm each for two people sharing, and the 1000 pocket springs move independently, so the extra width and the spring design both help limit disturbance. If you routinely share with a dog or a child as well, the UK super king is the roomier option, provided your bedroom allows at least 3m x 2.9m.
Will the Memory Pocket Deluxe 1000 UK king suit a tall sleeper?
The UK king is 200cm long, which is 10cm longer than the UK Double, and that extra length is often the real reason taller sleepers upgrade. Anyone approaching six foot should feel the difference at the foot of the bed. If you're tall but sleep in a smaller room, remember the length gain comes with the width, not separately.
Does the memory foam on a king size reduce partner disturbance?
It helps, though the springs do most of the work. The 25mm memory foam layer contours to each body individually while the pocket springs respond to movement one by one, so a restless partner or an early alarm on the other side of a 150cm-wide mattress is less likely to travel across to you.
What room size do you need for this mattress in a UK king?
We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m, and that's our guidance rather than the manufacturer's. In a new build master bedroom the floor can look generous until wardrobes and bedside tables go in, so measure the usable space, not the room. If it's tight, the UK double needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m and gives up only 15cm of width.
