Layer Details
- Room to sleep apart, together: At 75cm each for two people sharing, you can both turn over without negotiating, which matters more on a springy pocket sprung surface than on foam.
- Pocket springs across a wider bed: Each spring moves independently, so when one of you gets up hours before the other, the extra width plus isolated springs keeps the disturbance minimal.
- Length for taller sleepers: The UK king is 10cm longer than the UK Double at 200cm, a genuine relief if one of you is approaching six foot.
- Wool works harder over more surface: Eight fleeces of British wool regulate temperature across the full 150cm width, so two people running at different temperatures each get a stable microclimate.
- Space for the whole household: If a dog treats your bed as its own, the UK king absorbs that habit without pushing either of you to the edge.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and a double has started to feel tight, one of you keeps earlier hours and you'd rather their alarm didn't wake you both, or one partner is tall enough that 190cm beds leave feet at the edge. Allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m of bedroom, and this size gives you space without dominating an average room.
Consider another size if...
You sleep alone or your room falls short of the 2.7m x 2.9m we suggest, or you want the maximum space money can buy. Solo sleepers would do well with the UK double; for real sprawling room we'd recommend the UK super king, allowing at least 3m x 2.9m.

Is a UK king Wool Origins 6 big enough for a couple?
Comfortably, for most. Two people sharing get 75cm of width each, and the pocket springs respond to each sleeper individually, so a restless partner is less likely to disturb you. If you're both broad or like to sprawl, the UK super king adds 30cm of width, though it needs a bigger room.
Will the UK king suit a sleeper over six foot?
Yes, and length is often the real reason to choose it. At 200cm, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK Double, so a sleeper approaching or past six foot gets proper clearance rather than feet brushing the end of the bed. The UK super king is the same length, so sizing up only adds width.
What room size do I need for the Hypnos Wool Origins 6 in a UK king?
We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with 3.2m x 3.2m feeling comfortable once wardrobes and bedside tables are in. New build master bedrooms can be tighter than they look on paper, so measure with furniture accounted for. If your room falls short, the UK double needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m.
Is the king worth it over the double for this mattress?
For couples, usually. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK Double, and on a bed with natural fillings at this price, the extra space per sleeper is where you feel the value nightly. Solo sleepers gain less; the UK double would serve you well.
Does the wool make a difference for two people sharing a UK king?
It helps precisely because you're sharing. Couples rarely run at the same temperature, and the eight fleeces of British wool wick moisture and regulate warmth across the full 150cm width, so one hot sleeper doesn't heat the whole bed. It's a gentler solution than gel foams if you dislike synthetic surfaces.
