- 75cm each for two sharing: You each get 75cm of width, which means turning over or stretching out without pressing your partner to the edge.
- Less disturbance on different schedules: Pocket springs move independently, so if one of you gets up hours before the other, the early alarm is felt less on the far side.
- Extra length for taller sleepers: At 200cm, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, a genuine relief if either of you is approaching six foot.
- A firm feel that holds across the width: The firm pocket sprung build supports each sleeper's weight where it lands, rather than sagging toward the heavier side of the bed.
- Room to fit, at a considered price: Allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m of floor space; this is a premium mattress, so measure carefully before committing at this size.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and a UK double has started to feel like a compromise, one of you keeps waking the other by getting up early or coming to bed late, or either of you is tall enough that your feet reach the end of a standard-length mattress. The firm feel also needs to suit you both, since firmness doesn't change with size.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than the 2.7m x 2.9m we suggest for a UK king. In that case we'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m and gives up 15cm of width.

How big is the Hypnos Wool Origins 8 Firm in a UK king?
It measures 150 x 200cm, or 5ft x 6ft 6in. That gives two people sharing 75cm of width each, and the 200cm length adds 10cm over the UK double, which taller sleepers tend to feel at the foot of the bed more than anywhere else.
Is a UK king Hypnos Wool Origins 8 good for couples?
It suits couples well. The 75cm of width each means you're less likely to disturb one another, and the pocket springs respond to each sleeper separately, so an early riser causes less movement on the other side. The firm feel needs to work for both of you, though, as it can't be split.
What room size do I need for the king size Wool Origins 8?
We suggest 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 the floor with furniture in place rather than trusting the floorplan.
Should I choose the UK king or UK super king for this mattress?
The UK super king is 30cm wider than the UK king and the same length, and we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m of room for it. If your bedroom clears that comfortably, the extra width is a meaningful upgrade for two sharing; if not, the UK king remains the easier fit.
