Key benefits
- More room each: At 75cm per sleeper, you each get 7.5cm more than on a UK double, which means a little more distance between you when one of you turns over.
- Length for taller partners: The 200cm length is 10cm longer than a UK double, so a partner over six foot is less likely to wake with their feet at the very edge.
- Easier on different schedules: If one of you is up hours before the other, the extra 15cm of width gives a slightly clearer way out without clambering across a sleeping partner.
- Room for pregnancy pillows: During pregnancy and the months after, the UK king leaves space for a long support pillow without pushing your partner towards the edge.
- Fits where a super king won't: We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, against at least 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king, which helps in a new build master bedroom once wardrobes go in.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and keep bumping elbows on a UK double, one of you is over six foot and has run out of length, or your partner gets up much earlier and you'd rather not be woken as they climb out.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom measures under our suggested minimum of 2.7m x 2.9m. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
Is a UK king Flaxby Natural Cashmere Vale long enough for someone over 6ft?
The UK king is 200cm long, or 6ft 6in, which is 10cm longer than the UK double. For a partner approaching or just over six foot, that extra length gives room for a pillow and your feet without hanging off the end. If height is your only concern, it's the length rather than the width you're paying for here.
How much more space does a UK king give a couple than a double?
A UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than a UK double. Shared between two, that works out at 75cm each on the UK king against 67.5cm each on the UK double, so 7.5cm more per person. It sounds modest on paper, but it's the difference between brushing against each other and having your own side.
What size bedroom do I need for a UK king mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, with around 3.2m x 3.2m feeling comfortable. Measure after wardrobes and bedside tables are in place, because a new build master bedroom often feels smaller once furniture is fitted than it did when empty.
What duvet and sheets fit a UK king Flaxby Natural Cashmere Vale?
Standard UK king fitted sheets suit the 150 x 200cm surface, and a king duvet at 230 x 220cm gives enough overhang for two people. Flaxby doesn't publish a depth for this mattress, so check the pocket depth on fitted sheets carefully before you order them.
Should we choose the UK king or UK super king Flaxby Natural Cashmere Vale?
The UK super king is 30cm wider at the same 200cm length, giving 90cm each instead of 75cm. If a dog shares the bed most nights, that extra width helps. It needs at least 3m x 2.9m though, against 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king, so measure your room before deciding.
