Layer Details
- Cover. A stretch knit fabric with a quilted finish. This gives the sleep surface a soft, slightly cushioned top layer against the firm build beneath.
- Fillings. White fibre fillings, a lightweight, high loft material that holds its shape over time. They are also hypo-allergenic, which helps if you're prone to allergies.
- Foam Core. A reflex foam core that conforms to your body by distributing weight evenly. In practice this means fewer pressure points at your hips and shoulders.
- Springs. Rows of hourglass shaped springs joined top and bottom by spiral helical wires, forming an interconnected open coil system. Expect a traditional, springy firm feel rather than isolated, independent support.

- 75cm each for two people sharing: That personal width means fewer accidental elbows and less negotiating in the night, especially if one of you shifts position a lot.
- Extra width softens the open coil trade-off: Interconnected springs do transfer movement, but at 15cm wider than a UK double your partner's turning happens further away from you.
- 200cm of length for taller sleepers: If one of you is nudging six foot, the extra length over a UK double stops feet hanging off the end.
- Firm support across the full width: The hourglass springs and reflex foam core give the same even, springy support at the edges as the middle, useful when two people spread out.
- A modest price for the roomiest common size: The UK king is the upgrade most couples actually want, and the Vancouver delivers it without a premium build inflating the cost.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and a UK double has started to feel cramped, one of you is tall enough to appreciate 200cm of length, or your schedules differ and you'd rather a partner slipping out at 6am happened 75cm away from you. It also suits couples who both prefer a firm, traditional feel rather than a soft, cradling one.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of the 2.7m x 2.9m we suggest as a minimum, or you sleep alone. For a solo sleeper the UK double gives generous space for less, and we'd recommend it instead.

Is the Highgrove Vancouver in a UK king good for couples?
Yes, with one caveat. At 150cm wide you get 75cm each for two people sharing, comfortable space for most couples. The caveat is the open coil construction: interconnected springs carry more movement than pocket springs. The width helps, but light sleepers with a restless partner may still notice it.
How much bigger is the UK king Vancouver than the double?
The UK king is 15cm wider than the UK double, and at 200cm it's also 10cm longer. On a firm mattress like the Vancouver, where you tend to sleep on the surface rather than sinking in, that extra width is space you actually use every night.
What room size does a UK king Highgrove Vancouver need?
We suggest a room of 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 furniture in place before committing to 150 x 200cm.
Is the UK king long enough for someone over six foot?
At 200cm, the UK king Vancouver gives 10cm more length than a UK double. For anyone approaching or just over six foot that's usually the difference between feet on the mattress and feet off the end, and often the real reason to size up rather than the width.
Does the wider size reduce partner disturbance on the Vancouver?
Partly. The open coil springs are interconnected, so movement travels across the mattress more than it would with pocket springs. The UK king's 75cm each for two people sharing puts more distance between you, which takes the edge off a partner getting up early, but it won't eliminate it.
