Key benefits
- Room to settle without touching: At 75cm each for two people sharing, you get 7.5cm more each than on a UK double, which means fewer elbows and less waking when your partner rolls over.
- Length for the tall partner: The UK king measures 5ft x 6ft 6in, so a partner over six foot can stretch out without their feet hanging off the end.
- Early starts disturb you less: If one of you is up hours before the other, the extra width gives them more space to get out of bed without crossing your side.
- Firm across the full width: Both of you get the same firm feel from edge to edge, which suits couples who sleep on their backs or fronts and want a flat surface.
- Two sides to share the wear: Because it's double-sided, you can flip a UK king that two people use every night, so neither of you is always sleeping on the same worn patch.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and keep waking each other on a double, one of you is approaching or over six foot, and you both prefer a firm surface to sinking in.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m, or only one person sleeps in it. We'd recommend the UK double instead, for which we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
Is the Spare Room Ortho Plus 1000 Pocket UK king big enough for two adults?
For most couples, yes. The UK king gives 75cm each for two people sharing, which is 7.5cm more each than the UK double. That extra space helps when you sleep at different times or shift position a lot, although couples who want a lot more room apart may prefer the UK super king.
How much longer is the UK king than the double in this mattress?
The UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, at 200cm against 190cm. In imperial terms the UK king is 5ft x 6ft 6in. That extra length is often the main reason tall sleepers upgrade, because a double can leave their feet at the very edge.
What size bedroom do I need for a UK king Spare Room Ortho Plus?
We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with 3.2m x 3.2m giving comfortable space to walk round both sides. New build master bedrooms can feel tighter once fitted wardrobes are in, so measure from the wardrobe doors rather than the walls.
Is a king size Spare Room Ortho Plus hard to flip over?
British Bed Company doesn't publish a weight for this mattress, so check before you buy. A 150 x 200cm mattress is wide and awkward for one person to turn, so plan on doing it with two people, ideally with the bed pulled away from the wall first.
Should we get the UK king or the UK super king of this mattress?
The UK king gives 75cm each and needs at least 2.7m x 2.9m. The UK super king gives 15cm more each, at 90cm, but we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m. If your room is comfortably above that and you both sprawl, the super king is the better fit; otherwise the king is enough.
