Open coil springs
Open coil springs that add bounce and airflow for lasting freshness. You get a lively feel and better air movement than all-foam builds.

Key benefits
- More room each than a UK double: You each get 7.5cm more width than on a UK double, which means a little more distance from a partner who turns over in the night.
- Space to soften a springy feel: The open coil springs give a lively, bouncy feel, so the UK king's 75cm each helps keep one sleeper's movement further from the other.
- Length for taller sleepers: At 200cm long, the UK king adds 10cm over a UK double, so a partner over six foot is less likely to have feet hanging off the end.
- Room for staggered alarms: If one of you is up hours before the other, the wider surface gives the early riser a clearer route out without rolling across their partner.
- Fits standard king bedding: King sheets and a 230 x 220cm king duvet fit, so the UK king needs no specialist bedding beyond a fitted sheet that suits its 22cm depth.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and keep waking each other on a UK double, or one of you is over six foot and runs out of length. It also suits couples on different shift patterns who want more distance on a bed with a springy, open coil feel.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m once wardrobes are in. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
Is the Dreams Workshop Richards Combination UK king big enough for two people?
Yes, for most couples. The UK king gives you 75cm each, which is 7.5cm more per person than the UK double. That sounds modest, but on a mattress with open coil springs and a lively feel, the extra space between you can make a noticeable difference when one partner shifts position.
Is a UK king Richards Combination long enough if you're over 6ft?
It should suit most tall sleepers. The UK king is 200cm long, or 6ft 6in, which is 10cm longer than the UK double. If one of you is approaching or over six foot, that added length is often the real reason to size up, rather than the width.
What size bedroom do I need for a UK king Richards Combination mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with around 3.2m x 3.2m feeling comfortable. New build master bedrooms can feel tighter than their floor plan once fitted wardrobes and bedside tables go in, so measure the usable floor rather than the wall-to-wall figure.
Should I get the Richards Combination in a UK king or UK super king?
The UK super king gives you 90cm each, so the UK king offers 15cm less per person. Both are 200cm long, so taller sleepers gain nothing extra by going bigger. Choose the UK super king only if your room allows at least 3m x 2.9m and you still want more distance.
What bedding fits a UK king Dreams Workshop Richards Combination?
Standard king sheets fit, along with a 230 x 220cm king duvet. The mattress is 22cm deep, so check that your fitted sheet's pocket depth suits that before buying, as shallow sheets can pull at the corners on a UK king.
