Layer Details
- Soft Knitted Cover. A highly breathable knitted cover that's soft to the touch, which means the sleep surface feels more luxurious than the price suggests. Breathability here helps air move away from your body through the night.
- Soft White Fibres. These fillings are made from 100% polyester, chosen for good recovery and durability. In practice that means the comfort layer should spring back into shape rather than developing dips early on.
- Open Coil Springs. Interlaced coils of high-tensile steel joined together in a lattice, giving broad, connected support across the whole mattress. Because the coils are linked, you'll feel a bit more movement transfer than with pocket springs, but also that classic sprung bounce.

- 75cm each for two sharing: Two people get 75cm each, 7.5cm more per person than the UK double offers, which you notice most when one of you shifts around at night.
- Width softens the open coil feel: Linked coils carry movement across the surface, so the gap a UK king puts between you does more here than it would on a pocket sprung mattress.
- Extra length for taller sleepers: At 200cm, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, so feet stay on the mattress rather than hanging over the end.
- A budget route to a bigger bed: Simple polyester fibre fillings and open coil springs keep the cost of upgrading to a UK king low compared with most pocket sprung options.
- Room for different schedules: If one of you gets up hours before the other, the wider surface means an early alarm and a careful exit disturb the remaining sleeper less.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and a double has started to feel cramped, especially if either of you is a restless sleeper, since the open coil construction rewards extra distance between partners. It also suits you if one of you is nearing six foot and needs the 200cm length, or if a pet has become a permanent fixture and quietly claims a third of the mattress.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested minimum of 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king. In that case we'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs around 2.6m x 2.8m and still gives a couple 67.5cm each.

Is the Camellia in a UK king good for couples?
Yes, with a caveat. The open coil springs are linked in a lattice, so you feel a partner's movement more than with pocket springs. The UK king's 75cm per person helps offset that, putting more distance between you than a UK double would. Light sleepers sharing with a restless partner should still weigh that trade-off.
What room size do I need for a king size Camellia?
We suggest a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, which leaves space to walk around both sides and open drawers. New build master bedrooms often look bigger than they are once fitted wardrobes go in, so measure the clear floor space rather than the room itself.
Is the UK king Camellia long enough for someone over six foot?
At 200cm, the UK king gives you 10cm more length than the UK double, and for many taller sleepers that length is the real upgrade rather than the width. Someone around 6ft has comfortable clearance; if you're well past that, no standard UK size adds further length, since the UK super king is the same 200cm.
Should I choose the Camellia in a double or a king?
If the room takes it, the UK king. It's 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double, worth 7.5cm more per sleeper, and with an open coil mattress that spacing genuinely reduces how much of each other's movement you feel. Choose the UK double only where floor space is tight.
Will one of us getting up early wake the other on this mattress?
Possibly more than on a pocket sprung mattress, since the connected coils move together across the surface. In the UK king, though, there's enough width that the person still asleep is further from the disturbance. If partners on very different schedules is your daily reality, that extra space is the strongest argument for this size.
