Layer Details
- Top layer. A chemical-free sleeping surface blending British wool and viscose, finished with traditional tufting. The tufts hold the fillings in place, which means less settlement over time, though you will feel a slightly dimpled surface rather than a smooth one.
- Filling. Generous layers of farm-grown hemp, flax and 100% British wool. These natural fibres breathe and wick moisture, which means better temperature regulation than synthetic fillings, especially for hot sleepers.
- Spring system. Over 5,000 high-density micro and Cortec pocket springs, arranged in two layers of advanced pocket springs that adapt to your body and relieve key pressure points. The open structure also lets the mattress breathe, keeping the natural fillings fresh.

- 75cm each, every night: Two people sharing get 75cm of width apiece, which means fewer accidental elbows and more room to settle into your own sleeping position.
- Less disturbance across the bed: The two layers of pocket springs respond individually to each body, so a partner leaving for an early shift is less likely to wake you.
- Length for taller sleepers: At 200cm long, the UK king gives anyone approaching six foot proper clearance, rather than feet drifting towards the edge.
- Firm support that spreads across the width: The Chaucer's firm tension and natural hemp, flax and wool fillings hold their shape across the full 150cm, so neither sleeper rolls towards the middle.
- Cooler sharing: Two bodies generate more heat than one, and the wool and flax fillings wick moisture and keep air moving, which helps warm couples in particular.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and a double has started to feel cramped, or one of you keeps odd hours and you want the movement of getting up to register less on the other side. It also fits if either partner is tall, because the extra 10cm of length over a UK double is the difference between stretched out and hemmed in.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of the 2.7m x 2.9m we suggest for a UK king, or you sleep alone. In either case we'd recommend the UK double instead; allow at least 2.6m x 2.8m for that size.

What are the dimensions of the Harrison Spinks Chaucer in a UK king?
The UK king Chaucer measures 150 x 200cm, or 5ft x 6ft 6in. The depth of 24cm is the same across every size, so it's the footprint that changes here, and worth checking against your bed frame before ordering.
Is the Chaucer UK king a good choice for couples?
Yes, with one caveat. You each get 75cm of width, and the pocket springs move independently, so one of you shifting or getting up disturbs the other less. The caveat is the firm tension: lightweight side sleepers may find it a little unyielding, whichever size you pick.
What room size do you need for the Chaucer in a UK king?
We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with 3.2m x 3.2m feeling comfortable. That allowance covers walking room and bedside tables on both sides. New build master bedrooms can be tighter than they first appear once wardrobes go in, so measure the usable floor, not the room.
Is the UK king Chaucer long enough for tall sleepers?
At 200cm, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, which makes a real difference to anyone around six foot or over. The firm pocket sprung support runs edge to edge, so a taller sleeper using the full length isn't left on a softer border.
Should I buy the Chaucer in a UK king or a UK super king?
The UK king is 30cm narrower than the UK super king; both are the same 200cm length. If a pet routinely joins you, or you both spread out, the extra width may be worth having, but allow at least 3m x 2.9m of room for the UK super king. Compare the retailers listed on this page for current pricing.
