Ikea Hamarvik Sprung Mattress
- Space to sleep apart when you need to: With 75cm each for two people sharing, you can shift, prop pillows or sprawl without landing on your partner.
- Extra length for taller sleepers: At 200cm long, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, which means feet stay on the mattress rather than hanging off it.
- King-size space on a budget: This sits at the cheap end of the market, so upgrading to a UK king costs far less than it would with most brands.
- A sensible fit for average bedrooms: We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m of floor space, which most UK master bedrooms can manage where a super king would struggle.
- Room for the dog too: If a pet on the bed is part of the routine, the extra 15cm over a UK double stops you being squeezed to the edge.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and a double leaves you both short of space, one of you is tall enough to appreciate the 200cm length, or you want king-size room without king-size spending, perhaps for a guest room or a first home where the budget is tight.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m minimum, or you sleep alone. In either case we'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space.

How big is the Ikea Hamarvik in a UK king?
It measures 150 x 200cm, which is 5ft x 6ft 6in. For two people sharing, that works out at 75cm each. Ikea doesn't publish a depth figure for this size, so check Ikea's own listing if the height matters for your bed frame or fitted sheets.
Is the Hamarvik king good for couples on different schedules?
The width helps: 75cm each means one of you can get up early without climbing over the other. That said, the Hamarvik uses open coil Bonnell springs, which tend to transfer movement more than pocket springs, so a restless or early-rising partner may still be felt across the bed.
Will a UK king Hamarvik fit in my bedroom?
We suggest allowing at least 2.7m x 2.9m of floor space. New build master bedrooms often look bigger than they measure once wardrobes go in, so tape out 150 x 200cm on the floor first. If it's tight, the UK double needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m.
Is the king size long enough for someone over six foot?
At 200cm, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, which is the difference between heels hanging off the end and lying flat comfortably. For anyone approaching or past six foot, that length is often the real reason to size up, more so than the extra width.
