- Room to share properly: You each get 75cm in the UK king, which is 7.5cm more per person than a UK double and enough to stop elbows meeting at the centre.
- Length for taller sleepers: At 200cm long, the UK king adds 10cm over a UK double, so feet stay on the mattress rather than hanging over the end.
- Fewer early-morning wake-ups: Independent pocket springs limit how far movement travels, and the extra width in a UK king puts a little more distance between you when one partner rises first.
- Space for a soft, sink-in feel: Soft mattresses let you settle in, and a UK king gives each side sleeper room to bend their knees and shift position without crowding their partner.
- Easier to fit than a super king: The UK king is 30cm narrower than the UK super king, so it suits bedrooms that cannot quite take the larger size.
This size suits you if...
You share a bed and have started to feel cramped in a UK double, one of you is over six foot and needs the extra length, or your alarms go off hours apart and you want a little more distance from the partner getting up first.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Is the Rest Assured British Wool 2000 Pocket Softer UK king long enough for someone 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 real reason to upgrade, because it lets you lie straight with your pillow in place rather than bending your knees to keep your feet on the mattress.
Will I feel my partner getting up on a UK king pocket spring mattress?
Pocket springs move independently, so movement on one side is less likely to reach the other. The UK king helps as well, because each of you has 75cm compared with 67.5cm on the UK double. If one of you leaves for work hours earlier, that extra space adds a little more distance between you.
Should I choose the UK king or UK super king of the Rest Assured British Wool 2000 Pocket Softer?
The UK super king gives you 90cm each, which is 15cm more per person than the UK king, and the two sizes are the same length. We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king, against 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king, so your room size usually makes the decision.
Will a UK king mattress fit in a new build master bedroom?
New build master bedrooms often feel smaller once fitted wardrobes are in, so measure the floor space you actually have left. We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king, and 3.2m x 3.2m is more comfortable. If you have less than the minimum, the UK double needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m.
Is a soft UK king mattress good for sharing during pregnancy?
A softer feel lets your hips and shoulders settle in when you lie on your side, and the UK king gives each of you 75cm. That space helps when a pregnancy pillow and extra cushions take up part of your side. Your partner keeps more of their own space, which can make those restless months a little easier.
