- 75cm each for couples: Two people sharing get 75cm of width apiece, which means you can both change position without negotiating for territory in the small hours.
- Foam limits partner disturbance: All-foam construction absorbs movement rather than transferring it, so if one of you gets up hours before the other, the sleeper left behind feels less of it.
- 200cm of length: At 6ft 6in long, this size adds 10cm over the UK double, a genuine relief if either of you is approaching six foot.
- An affordable route to a king: The Morgedal sits at the budget end of the market, so upgrading to a UK king costs less here than with most rivals.
- A sensible room fit: We suggest a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m, roomier than a super king demands but with enough mattress that a dog on the bed stops being a problem.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and the UK double has started to feel cramped, one of you keeps odd hours and the other feels every exit, or a taller partner has toes hanging off a 190cm mattress and wants the extra 10cm of length without a big jump in spend.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of the 2.7m x 2.9m we suggest for a UK king, or you sleep alone. In either case we'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Is the Ikea Morgedal UK king big enough for a couple?
Comfortably, for most. At 150cm wide it gives you 75cm each, which is 7.5cm more per person than the UK double. Across a night of turning over and repositioning, that margin is the difference between brushing elbows and having your own space. Very restless pairs might still eye the UK super king, which offers 90cm each.
What room size do I need for the Morgedal in a UK king?
We suggest a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, with more feeling comfortable once wardrobes and bedside tables go in. New build master bedrooms can be tighter than they look on the plans, so measure with the furniture in mind. If the space falls short, the UK double needs 2.6m x 2.8m.
Is the UK king Morgedal long enough for someone over six foot?
At 200cm, it's 10cm longer than the UK single and UK double, and that extra length is often the real reason taller sleepers upgrade. Someone around six foot should have clearance at the foot of the bed. The UK super king is the same length, so sizing up further only buys width, never more length.
Will foam help with partner disturbance in a king size?
It should. Foam absorbs movement rather than bouncing the way springs do, so when one of you gets up early or shifts position, less of it travels across the mattress. Combined with 75cm of width each, the UK king is the pairing we'd point restless couples towards. The prices shown on this page update as retailers change them.
How much bigger is the Morgedal UK king than the double?
The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double. Per person, that works out at 7.5cm more each for two sharing. It's a difference you notice nightly rather than a marginal one, particularly if a dog has claimed a corner of the bed or one of you props pillows to sleep comfortably during pregnancy.
