- Less partner disturbance: Pocket springs respond to each sleeper separately, and the extra width of a UK king puts more distance between you, so a restless partner registers less.
- Room for different schedules: If one of you gets up hours before the other, 75cm each of independently sprung mattress makes those early exits far less disruptive.
- Length for taller sleepers: At 200cm, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, a genuine relief if either of you is approaching six foot.
- EU frame flexibility elsewhere in the range: The Grand Duke also comes in EU sizes, so if the UK king does not match your frame, this model can still fit your bed.
- Live pricing across retailers: Prices for this size change often, so compare the retailers listed on this page rather than relying on a figure you saw last week.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and have outgrown a UK double, especially if one of you is a light sleeper who wakes when the other moves or gets up early. It also suits couples where one partner is nearing six foot, since the 200cm length removes the dangling-feet problem, and your bedroom comfortably clears our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m minimum.
Consider another size if...
Your room is smaller than 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 still gives a solo sleeper generous space.

How much space do two people get on a Grand Duke UK king?
The UK king measures 150 x 200cm, which gives two people sharing 75cm each. Because the Grand Duke uses pocket springs that compress independently, that space feels genuinely yours: your partner turning over on their side does not pull or push your side of the mattress.
Is the Grand Duke in a UK king long enough for a tall sleeper?
At 200cm, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, which matters more than the extra width if either of you is approaching six foot. If you are comfortably over that, the length is the same in the UK super king, so sizing up buys width rather than length.
Will a UK king Grand Duke fit my bedroom?
We suggest a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, with more feeling comfortable once wardrobes and bedside tables are in. New build master bedrooms can be tighter than they first appear, so measure with the furniture in place before committing.
Should I choose the UK king or the UK super king Grand Duke?
The UK king is 30cm narrower than the UK super king, and both are the same length. If a dog routinely claims part of the bed, or you both want maximum spread, the UK super king helps, but it needs a room of at least 3m x 2.9m. Most couples find the UK king strikes the right balance.
