- More room each: At 75cm each for two sharing, you get 7.5cm more than on a UK double, which means a little less brushing against each other through the night.
- Length for taller sleepers: The 200cm length is 10cm longer than a UK double, which means a partner over six foot can lie straight without their feet reaching the end.
- Easier early starts: If one of you leaves hours before the other, the extra width gives the early riser more space to get up without rolling across their partner's side.
- Space without a super king footprint: The UK super king is 30cm wider, so the UK king suits a master bedroom that looked generous until the wardrobes went in.
This size suits you if...
you share the bed every night and a UK double has started to feel crowded, one of you is over six foot and wants the extra 10cm of length, or your bedroom is at least 2.7m x 2.9m, our suggested minimum for a UK king.
Consider another size if...
your bedroom is under 2.7m x 2.9m. We'd recommend the UK double instead, allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m, or the UK super king if you have room and want 90cm each.

Is the Millbrook Wool Sublime Firm Pocket 8000 UK king long enough if you're over 6ft?
The UK king is 200cm long, or 6ft 6in, which is 10cm longer than the UK double. For a partner over six foot, that extra length is often the main reason to upgrade, since it gives room to stretch out without feet reaching the end.
How much space do couples get on a UK king Millbrook Wool Sublime Firm Pocket 8000?
Two people sharing get 75cm each. That is 7.5cm more each than on the UK double, though 15cm less each than on the UK super king, which gives 90cm per person.
Millbrook Wool Sublime Firm Pocket 8000: UK king or UK super king?
The UK super king is 30cm wider but the same length, giving 90cm each rather than 75cm. It needs more floor, though: we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m, against 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king. If your room is tight, the UK king is the more comfortable fit.
Will a Millbrook Wool Sublime Firm Pocket 8000 king size fit a new build master bedroom?
Allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with 3.2m x 3.2m giving comfortable space to walk around. New build bedrooms can feel smaller once fitted wardrobes are in, so measure the clear floor that remains rather than relying on the room's listed size.
Is a UK king Millbrook Wool Sublime Firm Pocket 8000 good if one of us gets up much earlier?
The extra width helps, as the early riser has more room to get out without crossing into their partner's space. Millbrook doesn't publish motion transfer details for this mattress, so if movement disturbance is your main concern, ask the retailer before you buy.
