Key benefits
- 75cm each for two sharing: Two people get 75cm each, which means neither of you is sleeping along the edge the way you might on a UK double.
- Extra length for taller sleepers: At 200cm long, this size adds real legroom, so a guest or partner over six foot isn't waking with their feet against the footboard.
- Pocket springs help with different schedules: The 1000 pocket springs move independently, which means an early riser slipping out at 5am is less likely to disturb the person still asleep.
- 15cm wider than a UK double: The UK king is 15cm wider than the UK double, a margin you feel every night rather than a spec-sheet difference.
- Crib 5 compliance in the size guests expect: A king bed is what paying guests look for in a master room, and this size delivers it with the fire rating holiday lets and HMOs typically require.
This size suits you if...
You're furnishing a master bedroom in a holiday let, HMO or guest house where couples will share, and you want the fire-rated spec with enough space that guests don't feel cramped. It also fits if you're a couple who've outgrown a UK double, especially where one of you gets up hours before the other or is nudging six foot and needs the extra length.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom or letting room measures less than the 2.7m x 2.9m we'd suggest as a minimum for a king bed. In that case the UK double of this same mattress would suit the space better and still sleeps two.

FAQ's
Does the Highgrove Canterbury Crib 5 mattress come in a UK king?
Yes. The UK king version measures 150 x 200cm, or 5ft x 6ft 6in, and sits within a range that runs from a UK small single up to a UK super king. The prices shown on this page are updated as retailers change them, so check the live table for current availability.
What room size do I need for the Canterbury in a UK king?
We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with around 3.2m x 3.2m feeling comfortable once wardrobes and bedside tables are in. New build master bedrooms can be tighter than they look on a floor plan, so measure with the furniture in place before committing to a king.
Is the UK king Canterbury long enough for someone over six foot?
It should be. At 200cm, the UK king is one of the longer standard UK sizes, and for taller sleepers the length is often the real upgrade rather than the width. Highgrove doesn't publish detailed comfort specifications for this model, so length is one of the few things you can rely on here.
Should I buy the UK double or UK king for a holiday let master bedroom?
If the room clears our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m minimum, the UK king is usually the better choice for a master. The UK king is 15cm wider than the UK double, guests expect a king in the main room, and couples sharing get 75cm each rather than squeezing into double-bed territory.
Will a UK king reduce disturbance when we sleep on different schedules?
The size helps, and so does the construction. With 75cm each for two people sharing, you're less likely to collide mid-turn, and the 1000 pocket springs compress individually rather than as one unit. If one of you leaves for work hours before the other, that combination makes the early exit less noticeable.
