Key benefits
- Room to sleep apart: At 150cm wide you each get 75cm, which means an early riser can slip out with less chance of waking the person still asleep.
- Length for taller partners: The UK king is 10cm longer than a UK double, so anyone close to 6ft can stretch out with their feet still on the mattress.
- A middle ground on space: You get more room than a UK double without needing the 3m x 2.9m we suggest for the UK super king.
- Space for pillows and changing positions: The extra width helps during pregnancy, when a long support pillow and frequent turning can easily crowd a smaller bed.
- Two seasonal sides across the whole bed: Both of you sleep on the same surface, wool in colder months and cotton in warmer ones, so one flip changes the bed for both sleepers.
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 tired of feet hanging off the end, or your work hours differ and you want enough distance that one person getting up doesn't disturb the other.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m, or you sleep alone. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
Is the Flaxby Hempstead Dual Season UK king big enough for two people?
For most couples, yes. A UK king gives you 75cm each, 7.5cm more per person than a UK double. That's enough for most couples to sleep without constant contact. If one of you sprawls, or the dog sleeps on the bed every night, the UK super king's 90cm each may suit you better.
Will a tall person fit on the Flaxby Hempstead in a UK king?
The UK king is 200cm long, or 6ft 6in, which is 10cm longer than a UK double. For anyone around six foot, that extra length can matter more than the width. Your feet stay on the mattress rather than resting on the edge.
What size bedroom do I need for a UK king Flaxby Hempstead mattress?
We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with 3.2m x 3.2m giving comfortable room for bedside tables on both sides. New build master bedrooms can feel tight once fitted wardrobes are in, so measure around the doors, then compare the retailers listed on this page.
Should we choose the UK king or UK super king Flaxby Hempstead?
The UK king is 30cm narrower than the UK super king and the same length, giving 15cm less each. If your room comfortably fits the 3m x 2.9m we suggest for a super king and you want maximum separation, size up. Otherwise the UK king is the easier fit.
What bedding fits the Flaxby Hempstead in a UK king?
Standard king sheets fit the 150 x 200cm surface, and a 230 x 220cm king duvet covers it well. The mattress is 35cm deep, so choose deep fitted sheets that tuck fully under. You'll need to refit them each time you flip between the wool and cotton sides.
