- 75cm each for two sharing: Each sleeper gets 75cm of width, which means you can change position at 3am without negotiating for territory.
- 7.5cm more per person than a UK double: The UK double gives 67.5cm each, so the UK king gives 7.5cm more per person, a difference you feel every night rather than a number on paper.
- 200cm length for taller sleepers: At 200cm long, this size adds 10cm over the UK double, so a partner nudging six foot stops waking with their feet at the edge.
- Pocket springs suit shared beds: Pocket sprung construction responds to each sleeper individually, which means an early alarm on one side is less likely to travel across 150cm to the other.
- Fits most master bedrooms: We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, which most UK master bedrooms can manage where a UK super king would dominate the room.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and a double has started to feel tight, especially if one of you gets up hours before the other and every movement currently wakes the person still sleeping. It also suits couples where one partner is close to six foot, since the 200cm length is the quiet half of the upgrade. Solo sleepers who simply like to sprawl will enjoy it too.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of the 2.7m x 2.9m we suggest for a UK king, or the bed is only occasionally shared. We'd recommend the UK double instead, allowing at least 2.6m x 2.8m for it.

How big is the Millbrook Wool Sublime Soft in a UK king?
The UK king version measures 150 x 200cm, which is 5ft x 6ft 6in. Shared between two people, that works out at 75cm of width each. It's 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double, so both sleepers gain personal space and taller sleepers gain legroom.
Is a UK king Millbrook Wool Sublime Soft big enough for a couple?
For most couples, yes. With 75cm each you can both turn over without colliding, and the pocket springs help keep one person's movement from disturbing the other. If you're both broad or you routinely share with a dog stretched across the middle, the UK super king gives 90cm each instead.
What room size do I need for this mattress in a UK king?
We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with 3.2m x 3.2m feeling comfortable. Measure with wardrobes and drawers in place rather than the empty floor plan: a new build master can shrink surprisingly once furniture goes in, and you'll want space to walk down both sides.
Should I choose the UK king or the UK super king in this mattress?
The UK king suits most rooms and most couples. The UK super king is 30cm wider, the same length, and gives 90cm per person rather than 75cm, but we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m of floor space for it. If your room clears that comfortably and you value maximum separation, size up; otherwise the UK king is the safer fit.
Is the UK king worth it over the double for one tall sleeper?
Often, yes, because the length changes as well as the width. The UK king's 200cm length is 10cm more than the UK double, which is the difference between heels on the mattress and heels hanging off it for anyone approaching six foot. You gain 15cm of width at the same time.
