Layer Details
- Cover. A quality Belgian damask fabric with a traditional hand tufting finish. The tufting, done with nylon tapes and cotton tufts on both sides, holds the fillings in place and adds to the firm feel.
- Fillings. White fibre fillings, a lightweight, high loft material that retains its shape well. It is hypo-allergenic, which means fewer irritants for allergy-prone sleepers.
- Spring System. Open coil springs set out in rows from head to toe, each row joined by a spiral helical wire. This gives a connected, traditional support feel rather than the independent movement of pocket springs.
- Border. A thick rod-edge wire runs around the perimeter springs to reinforce the border. In practice that means better edge support when sitting on the side of the bed.

- More distance from a partner's movement: Open coil springs transfer motion more than pocket springs, so the UK king's extra width over a UK double is the most practical way to reduce disturbance on this mattress.
- 75cm each for two people sharing: That personal space matters on a firm mattress, where you settle into your own position rather than sinking towards the middle.
- Length for taller sleepers: At 200cm, the UK king adds 10cm of length over a double, which means feet stay on the mattress rather than at the edge of it.
- Firm support across the full width: The rod-edge wire around the border keeps the sides supportive, so neither of you loses usable width to a soft, collapsing edge.
- A manageable flip at this size: This double-sided mattress needs regular turning, and a UK king is the largest size most couples can still flip together without a struggle.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and a UK double no longer feels like enough, especially if one of you gets up hours before the other and the movement travels. It also suits couples where one partner is approaching 6ft, since the 200cm length is as much of an upgrade as the width. And if a dog routinely claims a corner, the extra room stops that costing you sleep.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of the 2.7m x 2.9m we suggest as a minimum for a UK king. In that case we'd recommend the UK double instead: the same firm, flippable build in a footprint most rooms handle comfortably.

Is the Highgrove Solar Luxury Dream in a UK king good for couples?
Yes, with one caveat. Open coil springs move as a connected unit, so you feel more of a partner's movement than on pocket springs. The UK king's 75cm each for two people sharing is the best answer this mattress has to that: more space between you means less disturbance when one of you turns or gets up early.
Will a UK king Highgrove Solar Luxury Dream suit a tall sleeper?
It should. The UK king measures 150 x 200cm, and that 200cm length is 10cm more than a UK double, which is the difference between heels on the mattress and heels hanging off it for anyone around the 6ft mark. The firm feel also keeps taller, heavier sleepers supported rather than sagging.
What room size do I need for a UK king mattress?
We suggest allowing at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with around 3.2m x 3.2m feeling comfortable once wardrobes and bedside tables are in. New build master bedrooms can be tighter than they first appear, so measure with the furniture in place. If the room falls short, the UK double is the safer choice.
Is the UK king Solar Luxury Dream hard to flip?
It takes two of you, but it's manageable. This is a double-sided mattress that needs regular turning to even out wear, and at 150 x 200cm the UK king is about the practical limit for a couple flipping together. If you'd struggle with that, factor it in before choosing this size.
How much bigger is a UK king than a double?
The UK king is 15cm wider than the UK double and, at 200cm long, adds 10cm of length too. On a firm open coil mattress like this one, that width is felt as fewer disturbances from a partner, and the length matters more than you'd expect if either of you is tall.
