Layer Details
Dense cushion layer
A dense layer of cushioning that sits on top of the spring unit. It adds some comfort to an already firm mattress, so the surface feels a little less harsh.
2000 pocket spring unit
A pocket spring unit with 2000 springs (the count is given for the king size), each moving individually. That means support follows your body's shape rather than moving as a single sheet.

Key benefits
- More space each: You each get 75cm, which is 7.5cm more than a UK double gives, so there's a little more breathing room before anyone drifts into the other's half.
- Length for a tall partner: At 200cm long, the UK king adds 10cm over a UK double, which means a partner near six foot can stretch out without their feet reaching the edge.
- Less disturbance on different schedules: The pocket springs move individually, which means an early riser getting out on one side should send less movement across, helped by the extra width between you.
- A spring count that matches your size: The brand quotes its 2000 pocket spring figure for the UK king specifically, so the stated count is the one you're buying.
- Fits a typical master bedroom: We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m, so it should suit most master bedrooms, although measure once wardrobes are in rather than trusting the floor plan.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and both prefer a very firm, flat surface, one of you is up hours before the other, or one partner is close to six foot and runs out of length on a UK double.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is under 2.7m x 2.9m, or you sleep alone and don't need the extra width. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
What size is the Legend Ortho Plus king size mattress in feet?
The UK king measures 150 x 200cm, which is 5ft x 6ft 6in. It's 30cm deep, so check your fitted sheets have a deep enough pocket as well as the right width and length.
Is the UK king Legend Ortho Plus big enough for two people?
It gives each of you 75cm, compared with 67.5cm on a UK double. That suits most couples. If you still want more room, the UK super king gives 90cm each, although we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for it.
What room size do I need for a UK king Legend Ortho Plus?
We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with 3.2m x 3.2m giving comfortable space around the bed. In a new build, measure after wardrobes and door swings are accounted for, because rooms often feel smaller than the plans suggest.
Should I get the Legend Ortho Plus in a UK king or UK super king?
Both are 200cm long, so the choice comes down to width. The UK super king is 30cm wider, giving 90cm each against 75cm on the UK king. Choose the UK super king if a dog regularly shares the bed and your room allows at least 3m x 2.9m.
How many springs are in the king size Legend Ortho Plus?
The brand quotes 2000 pocket springs for the UK king. That figure is given for the UK king only, so don't assume the same count applies to the smaller sizes.
