Layer Details
- Proper room for two: At 75cm each for two people sharing, you can turn over without negotiating for territory, which matters most in the small hours.
- Less partner disturbance: Pocket springs move more independently than open coils, and the extra width of a UK king means an early alarm on one side travels less to the other.
- Extra length for taller sleepers: The UK king is 10cm longer than the UK Double at 200cm, so anyone approaching six foot stops finding their feet at the edge.
- Boxed delivery in a big size: A king-size mattress is awkward to manoeuvre flat, so arriving rolled in a box makes stairs and tight landings far easier.
- Room for the dog too: If a pet on the bed is part of your routine, the extra width absorbs that habit without one of you sleeping on the edge.
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 want movement to register less across the mattress. It also suits you if one partner is approaching six foot and needs the 200cm length, or your bedroom comfortably clears our suggested minimum of 2.7m x 2.9m.
Consider another size if...
Your room falls short of our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m, or you sleep alone and the width would go unused. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m and still sleeps two.

Is the Nectar Hybrid Memory Pocket 1600 in a UK king big enough for a couple?
Yes, comfortably for most. At 150 x 200cm you each get 75cm of width, which is 7.5cm more per person than a UK double. Combined with pocket springs that flex independently rather than as one unit, sharing feels noticeably calmer, particularly if one of you shifts position often or keeps different hours.
What room size do I need for a UK king Nectar Hybrid 1600?
We suggest a bedroom of at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, with 3.2m x 3.2m feeling comfortable. New build master bedrooms often shrink once fitted wardrobes go in, so measure the usable floor rather than the room on the plan, and allow walking space on both sides of the bed.
Should I choose the UK king or UK super king in this mattress?
The UK king is 30cm narrower than the UK super king, and both are the same 200cm length. The UK super king gives 90cm each for two sharing, 15cm more per person, but we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m of room for it. If your bedroom can take it and space is the priority, size up.
Is the UK king long enough for someone over six foot?
At 200cm, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, and that length is often the real reason taller sleepers upgrade rather than the width. It suits most people up to around 6ft 6in, since the mattress itself measures 6ft 6in long. Anyone taller will still find their feet near the end.
How easy is it to get a king size mattress in a box upstairs?
Much easier than a flat one. A rigid 150 x 200cm mattress is a genuine struggle on a turning staircase, but the Nectar Hybrid Memory Pocket 1600 arrives rolled and compressed, so it can be carried like a heavy cylinder. It still takes two people ideally, but doorways and landings stop being a problem.
