Key benefits
- More room each: At 75cm per person, each of you gets 7.5cm more than on a UK double, which means fewer nudges and elbows when one of you turns over.
- Length for taller sleepers: The 200cm length, or 6ft 6in, is 10cm longer than a UK double, so a partner over six foot can stretch out fully.
- Easier on different schedules: If one of you gets up hours before the other, the extra width gives a little more distance to slip out quietly while your partner keeps sleeping.
- Space for pregnancy pillows: During pregnancy and the months after, there's a bit more room for a support pillow without pushing your partner towards the edge.
- Fits more rooms than a super king: We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m, which is less floor than a UK super king needs, useful in a new build master bedroom with fitted wardrobes.
- Straightforward bedding: Standard king sheets fit, and so does a 230 x 220cm king duvet.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and keep waking when your partner shifts, or one of you is over six foot and tired of feet hanging off a UK double. It also suits you if you're expecting and want space for extra pillows.
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.

FAQ's
Is a UK king Silentnight British Wool 3000 Pillow Top big enough for two adults?
Yes, for most couples. The UK king gives 75cm each when two of you share, which is 7.5cm more per person than a UK double. That extra width is a small figure on paper, but it can be the difference between waking whenever your partner turns and sleeping through it.
How much bigger is a UK king than a UK double?
The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double. In use, that works out at 7.5cm more each for two people sharing, plus extra legroom at the foot of the bed. If your partner keeps drifting into your side, the width is the change you'll notice first.
Is a UK king mattress long enough if you're over 6ft?
At 200cm, or 6ft 6in, the UK king suits most people around six foot and a little beyond. That is 10cm longer than a UK double. If length is your only reason to upgrade, a UK super king won't help, because it's exactly the same length as the UK king.
What size bedroom do I need for a UK king mattress?
We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, and around 3.2m x 3.2m if you want comfortable space to walk round and open drawers. Measure after wardrobes are in, since fitted furniture can make a room feel much smaller than the floor plan suggests.
Should I get the UK king or UK super king in this mattress?
The UK king is 30cm narrower than the UK super king, giving 15cm less each, though both are the same length. If a dog regularly joins you, or you both like to sprawl, the UK super king makes sense, but it needs at least 3m x 2.9m of floor.
