Layer Details
- Cover. A stretch-knit, soft-touch cover with a 100% Egyptian cotton white border. The stretch in the knit means the surface flexes with the fillings beneath rather than creating a drum-tight feel.
- Comfort Layer. Deep layers of polyester comfort fillings, described as Soft White Fibres. These give the mattress its cushioned initial feel before you reach the springs.
- Support System. 1000 individual pocket springs, each encased in its own cloth pocket. Because every spring compresses independently, heavier areas like hips sink slightly more while lighter areas stay supported.

- 75cm each for two people sharing: That is the same personal width each sleeper would get on a UK single, so you stop negotiating over the middle of the bed.
- Pocket springs suit shared beds: Each of the 1000 springs compresses on its own, which means an early alarm on one side sends less movement across to the other.
- 200cm of length: The UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, a quiet relief for taller sleepers whose feet reach the end of a 190cm mattress.
- Medium firm feel at a shared-bed size: A middle-ground firmness gives two people with different sleeping positions a reasonable chance of both being comfortable on it.
- A budget-friendly route to a bigger bed: Sizing up is usually where costs climb, so a value pocket spring build makes the UK king upgrade easier to justify.
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 you'd rather not feel it. It also suits couples where one partner is approaching six foot, since the extra 10cm of length matters as much as the width. Allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m of bedroom space and it should sit comfortably.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is under our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m minimum, which is common in newer builds once wardrobes go in. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs around 2.6m x 2.8m and is 15cm narrower.

Is the Classic Gold 1000 in a UK king good for couples?
Yes, and arguably this is the size where the mattress makes most sense. You get 75cm each for two people sharing, and because each of the 1000 pocket springs moves independently, a restless partner disturbs you less than on an open-coil bed. The medium firm feel suits most sleeping positions, so mixed side and back sleepers can usually both settle.
Will the UK king Classic Gold 1000 fit my bedroom?
The mattress measures 150 x 200cm, or 5ft x 6ft 6in. We suggest a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m so you can walk round both sides and open drawers without shuffling sideways. Some new build master bedrooms feel roomy empty but tighten up once wardrobes are in, so measure with furniture in mind.
Should I get the Classic Gold 1000 in a UK double or a UK king?
If you share every night, the UK king is usually the better buy. It is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double, and that extra length matters if either of you is tall. Choose the UK double if your room is under our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m for a king; the double needs around 2.6m x 2.8m.
Is a UK king long enough for someone over six foot?
At 200cm long, it gives most people around six foot enough space before their feet reach the edge, and it is 10cm longer than the UK double or UK single. If you are well past six foot, no standard UK size adds further length, since the UK super king is wider at 180cm but exactly the same 200cm long.
Does a bigger size help with partner disturbance on this mattress?
It helps twice over. The 1000 individual pocket springs limit how far movement travels through the mattress, and the UK king's 75cm per sleeper means you are less likely to be lying near that movement in the first place. If one of you leaves for work hours before the other, that combination makes early starts noticeably easier to sleep through.
