Layer Details
Damask cover
A quality damask fabric with a micro quilted finish that secures the outer fabric to the layers beneath. It gives you a neat sleeping surface that stays in place.
Hypo-allergenic fibre layers
Deep layers of white fibre filling, described as hypo-allergenic. They sandwich the springs, so they may suit you if you're sensitive to bedding fillings.
Small diameter pocket spring interior
Each small diameter coil sits in its own cloth sleeve, between the fibre layers. This is where the firm support comes from.

Key benefits
- More room each than a UK double: The UK king gives 75cm per sleeper against 67.5cm on a UK double, so you can turn over without ending up on your partner's side.
- Extra length for taller sleepers: At 200cm long, the UK king adds 10cm over a UK double, which means feet stay on the mattress for anyone approaching 6ft.
- Springs in their own sleeves: Each small coil sits in a separate cloth sleeve, which can help keep a partner's movement on their own side rather than spreading across the whole bed.
- Firm surface across the full width: The firm feel suits back and front sleepers on both sides of the bed, although a side sleeper sharing with you may want more cushioning.
- Flippable, with a little effort: You can flip and rotate it, but at UK king width turning a firm spring mattress is a two-person job, and Highgrove doesn't publish a weight.
- Standard king bedding fits: King sheets and a 230 x 220cm king duvet fit, so you won't need specialist sizes when you upgrade.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and keep waking when your partner turns or gets up for an early shift, one of you is over 6ft and has been sleeping with feet near the edge of a UK double, or you both prefer a firm surface for back or front sleeping and want space each.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m once wardrobes are in. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
Is the Highgrove Solar Pocket 1000 UK king big enough for two people?
Yes, for most couples. The UK king gives 75cm each, which is 7.5cm more per person than a UK double. If one of you sprawls, or a dog regularly joins you, the UK super king gives 90cm each, though it needs a bigger room.
What size bedroom do I need for a UK king Highgrove Solar Pocket 1000?
We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with 3.2m x 3.2m comfortable. New build master bedrooms often feel smaller once fitted wardrobes and bedside tables go in, so measure the floor you'll actually have left, then compare the retailers listed on this page.
Is the Highgrove Solar Pocket 1000 long enough if you're over 6ft?
In the UK king, it's 200cm long, 10cm longer than a UK double. If height is your main reason for upgrading, the UK king is the size that adds that length, and the UK super king is the same length, so going wider won't give you more.
Should I get the Highgrove Solar Pocket 1000 in UK king or UK super king?
The UK king suits most couples, with 75cm each. The UK super king is 30cm wider, giving 90cm each, which helps if your partner leaves hours before you do and you want more distance. It needs at least 3m x 2.9m.
Is a king size Highgrove Solar Pocket 1000 hard to flip?
It's manageable with two people. The mattress is double-sided and 27cm deep, and at 150cm wide it's awkward for one person to turn. Highgrove doesn't publish a weight, so plan to flip and rotate it together rather than alone.
