Key benefits
- Proper space for two: At 150cm wide the UK king gives 75cm each for two people sharing, which means less accidental contact when one of you turns over.
- Fewer disturbed nights: That extra width matters most when your schedules differ: one of you can slip out early with less chance of waking the other.
- Length for taller sleepers: At 200cm long, this size adds headroom for anyone approaching six foot who finds their feet at the edge of a standard 190cm mattress.
- The top of this model's range: The UK king is the biggest size the Oxford Crib 5 is made in, so it's the natural pick for a guest house or rental master bedroom.
- A clear step up from a double: The UK king is 15cm wider than the UK double, a difference you notice every night rather than a marginal upgrade on paper.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and want more elbow room than a double gives, one of you gets up hours before the other, or you're kitting out the main bedroom of a guest house or rental and want the most generous size this contract mattress is made in.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of the 2.7m x 2.9m we suggest as a minimum for a UK king, or you sleep alone. In either case we'd recommend the UK double instead, which still gives a solo sleeper plenty of room.

FAQ's
Is the UK king Highgrove Oxford Crib 5 big enough for two adults?
Yes, comfortably. At 150cm across it gives 75cm each for two people sharing, enough that one of you shifting position or leaving early is far less likely to wake the other. If you've been sharing a UK double, the extra width is something you feel from the first night.
What room size do I need for the Highgrove Oxford Crib 5 in a UK king?
We suggest a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m for any UK king, with 3.2m x 3.2m giving comfortable space to walk round both sides. Measure with wardrobes and drawers in place, as new build master bedrooms in particular can feel smaller once furniture goes in.
Is the UK king Oxford Crib 5 long enough for someone over six foot?
At 200cm it's one of the longer standard UK sizes, and for many taller sleepers the length is the real reason to upgrade rather than the width. Someone a little over six foot should fit without their feet reaching the end, which isn't true of 190cm sizes like the UK double.
Is the UK king a good choice for a guest house or rental?
It's the largest size the Oxford Crib 5 comes in, and contract mattresses like this one are made for exactly that setting. A UK king in the main letting room suits couples and solo guests alike, provided the room meets the 2.7m x 2.9m minimum we suggest.
