Key benefits
- Pocket springs suit shared sleeping: Each spring is sewn into its own pocket and responds separately, which means a partner leaving for an early shift is far less likely to wake you.
- 75cm of width each: Two people sharing get 75cm apiece, enough room to turn over without a negotiation, and enough for a dog who treats the bed as routine.
- 200cm of length: The UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, a genuine relief if one of you is approaching six foot and used to feet hanging off the end.
- Memory foam over springs: A memory foam comfort layer sits on top of the pocket springs, which means contouring at the surface with springy support beneath.
- Affordable route to a proper upgrade: The Hyllestad sits at the accessible end of pocket sprung pricing, so moving up to a UK king costs less here than with most rivals.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and a double has started to feel cramped, especially if one of you gets up hours before the other and the disturbance travels. It also suits couples where one partner is tall, since the 200cm length removes the ankle-off-the-edge problem, or households where a pet claims a corner and 75cm each stops that becoming a nightly squeeze.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of the 2.7m x 2.9m we suggest for a UK king, or you sleep alone. In either case we'd recommend the UK double instead, allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m of floor space.

FAQ's
Is the Ikea Hyllestad UK king big enough for a couple?
Comfortably, for most. At 150cm wide it gives two sharers 75cm each, and the pocket sprung construction means each spring moves independently, so one person shifting or getting up disturbs the other less. If you regularly share with a child or a large dog as well, the UK super king is 30cm wider.
What room size do I need for the Hyllestad in a UK king?
We suggest allowing at least 2.7m x 2.9m of floor space. That leaves room to walk round the bed and open drawers without shuffling sideways. A newer master bedroom can feel smaller than it looks once fitted wardrobes go in, so measure the usable floor rather than the wall-to-wall figure.
How much bigger is the UK king Hyllestad than the double?
The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double, giving you 150 x 200cm in total, or 5ft x 6ft 6in. The extra width is what most couples notice night to night; the extra length matters mainly if either of you is tall.
Is a UK king long enough for a sleeper over six foot?
Yes, and length is often the real reason to size up. The UK king runs to 200cm, 10cm longer than a UK double, so someone around six foot no longer sleeps diagonally or wakes with their feet over the edge. The UK super king is the same length, so going wider still adds no extra height.
Where can I buy the Hyllestad in a UK king?
Availability for this size changes, so the most reliable answer is the live comparison on this page, where prices are updated as retailers change them. Ikea publishes limited detail on this mattress's firmness and depth, so it's sensible to check the full specification with the retailer before you order.
