Layer Details
- Stretch Knit Fabric Cover. A soft, pliable cover that lets the fillings beneath contour to your body shape. In practice this means you feel the comfort layers working rather than a taut, drum-like surface.
- White Fibre Fillings. A lightweight, high-loft filling that retains its shape and is hypo-allergenic. It adds a layer of cushioning between you and the foam core, and should resist flattening over time.
- Advanced Reflex Foam Core. A supportive, long-lasting hypo-allergenic foam that conforms to your body by distributing weight evenly, which means reduced pressure points at the usual sore spots. This is the main support layer, as the Hudson contains no springs.

- 15cm wider than a UK double: The UK king is 15cm wider than the UK double, which means an elbow's worth of extra space each and fewer accidental collisions in the night.
- Less disturbance from a restless partner: With no springs, the reflex foam core transfers little bounce across the surface, so an early riser slipping out at 5am is easier to sleep through.
- 200cm length for taller sleepers: The UK king adds 10cm of length over a double, which means anyone approaching 6ft stops sleeping with their feet at the edge.
- Light for its size: At 18cm deep the Hudson is slimmer than most boxed mattresses, so a king-sized one is far easier to carry up to a bedroom.
- Flippable, so it wears evenly: You can turn the Hudson over as well as rotate it, which helps a mattress this size wear evenly where two people sleep in fixed spots.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and a double has started to feel cramped, especially if one of you gets up hours before the other, or the dog has quietly claimed a third of the mattress. It also suits couples where one partner is tall, since the 200cm length matters as much as the width. Your room should allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of the 2.7m x 2.9m we suggest for a UK king, which is common in smaller new builds once wardrobes go in. In that case we'd recommend the UK double of the Hudson instead.

Is a UK king Highgrove Hudson big enough for a couple?
Comfortably, for most. At 150cm wide it gives you 75cm each for two people sharing, and because the Hudson's foam core carries little movement across the surface, you'll feel less of a partner turning over. Very broad sleepers, or couples who want to sprawl, may prefer the UK super king, which is 30cm wider than the UK king.
Will the Highgrove Hudson king suit a tall sleeper?
Yes, and length is often the real reason to choose it. The UK king runs to 200cm, 10cm longer than a UK double, so anyone approaching 6ft gets proper clearance at the foot of the bed. Bear in mind the Hudson sits low at 18cm deep, so the bed's overall height depends more on your frame.
What room size do I need for a king size Hudson?
We suggest a minimum of 2.7m x 2.9m, with 3.2m x 3.2m feeling comfortable once you add wardrobes and walking space. This is our guidance rather than Highgrove's. If your room is tighter than that, the UK double version of the Hudson is 15cm narrower and noticeably easier to fit around.
Is the Highgrove Hudson easy to move in a UK king?
Easier than most king mattresses. It arrives rolled in a box, and the 18cm depth keeps the weight down compared with deeper hybrids, so getting it upstairs and onto the frame is a manageable two-person job. Flipping it later, which the double-sided design allows, is also less of a struggle than with a heavier mattress.
Where can I buy the Highgrove Hudson in a UK king?
Availability shifts, so the most reliable answer is the live table on this page, which shows the retailers currently stocking the UK king and their prices, updated as retailers change them. It's worth comparing before you buy, since the same mattress can be listed at different prices on the same day.
