Layer Details
Cool-to-the-touch fabric cover
The top fabric feels cool when you first lie down, which means a fresher start to the night. It's a small touch, but hot sleepers tend to appreciate it.
Nectatex® memory foam
This memory foam cushions pressure points at your hips and shoulders. Nectar says it's 30x more breathable than regular memory foam, so it should hold less heat than the memory foam of old.
Dynamic support foam
A transition layer that keeps your spine aligned, which means your midsection doesn't sink too deeply into the springs below. You feel supported rather than cradled.
Nectacoil® pocket springs
Each of the 1,500 springs moves independently, adapting to your shape and absorbing movement so a restless partner is less likely to wake you. The gaps between springs also let air flow through the mattress.
High-density foam
A firm foam surround encases the springs to shore up the edges and help prevent roll-off. That makes the full surface usable, right to the sides.

Key benefits
- Room to sleep, not negotiate: At 75cm each for two people sharing, you can change position without your elbow landing in someone else's half of the bed.
- Less disturbance across the extra width: The 1,500 Nectacoil® pocket springs absorb movement individually, and the wider surface puts more distance between you and a restless partner in the first place.
- Length for taller sleepers: At 200cm, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, which matters if one of you is approaching six foot and tired of feet hanging off the end.
- Usable right to the edges: The high-density foam border keeps the sides supportive, so all 150cm of width is genuinely sleepable rather than a soft strip you roll away from.
- Cooler for two: Two bodies generate more heat than one, so the cool-touch cover and breathable Nectatex® foam count for more in a shared UK king than in a single.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and the UK double has started to feel like a compromise, one of you is tall enough to appreciate the extra 10cm of length, or you keep different hours and want a partner's early alarm and exit to pass unnoticed. It also suits couples whose dog has quietly claimed a corner and shows no sign of giving it back.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than the 2.7m x 2.9m we suggest as a minimum for a UK king. In that case we'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m and still sleeps two comfortably.

FAQ's
Is the Nectar Ultra Cool Hybrid in a UK king big enough for a couple?
Yes, comfortably for most. Two people sharing get 75cm each, which is 7.5cm more per person than the UK double offers. The 1,500 pocket springs move independently, so one of you shifting or getting up early is less likely to wake the other. Couples who want maximum space could consider the UK super king, which gives 90cm each.
What room size do I need for a UK king Nectar Ultra Cool Hybrid?
We suggest a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with 3.2m x 3.2m feeling comfortable. That's our guidance rather than Nectar's, and it assumes you want to walk around the bed and open drawers without shuffling sideways. New build master bedrooms can be tighter than they look once wardrobes go in, so measure with the furniture in place.
Is the UK king Nectar Ultra Cool Hybrid long enough for tall sleepers?
At 200cm long, it gives 10cm more length than the UK double, which is often the difference between feet on the mattress and feet in mid-air for anyone around the six foot mark. The UK super king is the same length, so if height is your only concern, the UK king covers it without the extra width.
Will I feel my partner getting up in the night?
Less than on many mattresses. Each of the 1,500 Nectacoil® pocket springs compresses independently, so movement on one side doesn't travel far, and the width of a UK king adds physical distance too. It suits partners on different schedules, where one leaves for work hours before the other. No mattress removes disturbance entirely, but this build reduces it noticeably.
Should I choose the UK king or the UK super king in this mattress?
The UK king gives 15cm less width per person than the UK super king, at 75cm each against 90cm each, but it also asks less of your room: we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king and at least 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king.
