Layer Details
- 75cm each when you share: Two sleepers get 75cm of width apiece, which means you can change position without brushing against your partner every time.
- 15cm wider than a UK double: That extra width sounds modest on paper, but it is often the difference between waking when your partner turns over and sleeping through it.
- 200cm of length: If one of you is approaching six foot, the length is arguably the bigger upgrade here, keeping feet on the mattress rather than off the end.
- Easier nights on different schedules: When one of you gets up hours before the other, the wider surface means slipping out of bed causes less disturbance on the other side.
- Room for pillows and propping: During pregnancy or recovery from surgery, the extra width leaves space for support pillows without pushing your partner to the edge.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and a UK double now feels cramped, especially if one of you sleeps restlessly or gets up earlier than the other. It also makes sense if either partner is tall, since the 200cm length keeps feet supported, or if you routinely need space for extra pillows during pregnancy or while recovering from an injury.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of the 2.7m x 2.9m we suggest as a minimum for this size. In that case we'd recommend the UK double instead, which frees up floor space while still suiting most couples.

Is a UK king big enough for a couple with a dog on the bed?
Usually, yes. With 150cm of width, a couple gets 75cm each, so a dog curled at the foot end takes space you can spare more easily than on a UK double. If the dog is large and sleeps between you, the UK super king, 30cm wider, is the more comfortable answer.
Will the UK king version of the Lancaster Pocket 2000 fit my bedroom?
Allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m of floor space, and closer to 3.2m x 3.2m if you want to walk around both sides comfortably. That guidance is ours, not Highgrove's. New build master bedrooms can be tighter than they look once wardrobes go in, so measure with furniture in place.
Is the UK king longer than a double, or just wider?
Both. At 150 x 200cm, the UK king is 15cm wider than a UK double and adds 10cm of length too. For anyone approaching six foot, that length is often the real reason to size up, since a restless tall sleeper disturbs a partner far more on a shorter mattress.
What bedding do I need for this mattress in a UK king?
Standard UK king fitted sheets, made for 150 x 200cm mattresses, and a 230 x 220cm king duvet. Because the mattress is both wider and longer than a UK double, double bedding won't stretch to fit, so budget for a full set alongside the mattress itself.
Should I choose the UK king or size down to save money?
If your room clears our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m minimum and you share the bed, the UK king is the sensible pick, particularly with a taller partner. Prices vary by retailer and change often, so compare the live prices shown on this page rather than assuming the smaller size saves much.
