Layer Details
- Cover. A breathable Coolmax® stretch fabric cover that helps regulate your body temperature overnight. In practice this means less overheating in warmer months.
- Fillings. Sumptuous hypoallergenic fillings secured by hand tufting. The tufting keeps everything anchored, so the comfort layer stays even rather than migrating over time.
- Springs. 1000 pocket springs in the king size, each moving independently. That means support follows your shape and you're less likely to feel a partner shifting about.

- Room to sleep apart, together: At 150cm wide, the UK king gives each of you 75cm each for two people sharing, so a firm sleeper and a fidgety one can coexist.
- Less disturbance on different schedules: The king size uses 1000 pocket springs that move independently, which means an early alarm on one side is less likely to wake the other.
- Extra length for taller sleepers: The UK king runs to 200cm long, so anyone approaching six foot gets clearance a standard-length double doesn't offer.
- Firm support across a wider surface: The extra firm feel stays consistent edge to edge, useful when a partner, or a dog with opinions, pushes you towards the side.
- Cooler sharing: Two bodies generate more heat than one, and the Coolmax® stretch fabric cover helps move that warmth away overnight.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and the UK double has started to feel like a negotiation, you or your partner is tall enough to appreciate the 200cm length, or one of you gets up hours before the other and wants the pocket springs' independence spread across a wider surface. Back and front sleepers who like a properly firm feel will get the most from it.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of the 2.7m x 2.9m we suggest as a minimum for a king, or you sleep alone and don't need the width. The UK double would suit you better and takes up noticeably less floor space.

Is the Highgrove Dream Pocket in a UK king big enough for a couple?
Yes, comfortably for most. At 150 x 200cm it allows 75cm each for two people sharing, and the 1000 pocket springs in the king size move independently, so you feel your own support rather than your partner's turning. Larger couples who still feel cramped could consider the UK super king, though Highgrove doesn't make this mattress in that size.
Will a UK king Dream Pocket fit in a new build master bedroom?
Often, but measure first. New build masters can feel smaller once wardrobes go in, and we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, with 3.2m x 3.2m comfortable. If you'd be squeezing past the bed frame every morning, the UK double at 135 x 190cm frees up real floor space.
Is the king size Dream Pocket good for tall sleepers?
It's one of the better reasons to choose it. The UK king is 200cm long, which suits anyone approaching six foot who finds their feet hanging off a standard-length bed. The extra firm feel also keeps taller, heavier back and front sleepers supported rather than sinking, although side sleepers may find it a little unforgiving.
How much wider is the king than the double in this mattress?
The UK king is 15cm wider than the UK double, and since these are the only two sizes Highgrove makes this mattress in, that's the whole decision. The width sounds modest on paper, but shared every night it's the difference between claiming your own space and negotiating for it. The king also adds length: 200cm against the double's 190cm.
Where can I buy the Dream Pocket mattress in a UK king?
Compare the retailers listed on this page; the prices shown here are updated as retailers change them, so it's worth checking back if you're not buying today. Availability of the UK king can differ from the UK double, so a listing for one size doesn't guarantee the other is in stock.
