- 75cm of space per sleeper: Two people get 75cm each, which means one of you can get up for an early shift without dragging the duvet off the other.
- 15cm wider than a UK double: That 15cm sounds small on paper but you feel it every night, especially if pregnancy or a dog on the bed has been squeezing your half.
- 200cm of length: At 5ft x 6ft 6in, this size adds length as well as width, so a partner over six foot stops sleeping diagonally or hanging off the end.
- Fits standard king bedding: King sheets and a 230 x 220cm king duvet fit straight away, with no hunting for unusual sizes.
- Manageable room demands: We suggest a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m, which most master bedrooms can offer without sacrificing wardrobes or walking space.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and have outgrown a UK double, especially if one of you keeps odd hours and the other is a light sleeper. It also fits if a partner is approaching six foot and needs the 200cm length, or if pregnancy has you propped on pillows and shifting position through the night.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than the 2.7m x 2.9m we suggest, a common problem in new build masters once the wardrobes go in. We'd recommend the Highgrove Canterbury in a UK double instead, which frees up 15cm of floor width.

Is the UK king Highgrove Canterbury big enough for two adults?
Yes, comfortably for most couples. At 150cm wide it gives 75cm each for two people sharing, 15cm more overall than a UK double. If one of you gets up hours before the other, that extra width means less disturbance when someone climbs in or out.
Is the Highgrove Canterbury in a UK king long enough for tall sleepers?
At 200cm, or 6ft 6in, it suits sleepers approaching or just over six foot. For many couples the length is the real upgrade here, since a partner who has been curling up on a shorter mattress finally gets room to stretch out fully.
What room size do I need for the UK king Canterbury Crib 5?
We suggest a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m, and 3.2m x 3.2m feels comfortable, with space for bedside tables on both sides and room to walk around the bed. That guidance is ours, not Highgrove's, so measure your room before ordering rather than judging by eye.
Should I choose the UK king or the UK super king in this mattress?
The UK king is 30cm narrower than the UK super king, so the trade is space against room fit. If your bedroom clears our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m minimum but is a little snug beyond that, the UK king is the safer pick. Larger rooms can carry the UK super king easily.
Can I compare prices on the UK king Canterbury Crib 5?
