Layer Details
- Room to sleep apart, together: With 75cm each for two people sharing, you can both change position without ending up shoulder to shoulder.
- Pocket springs suit the extra width: Each spring moves independently, which means a partner leaving for an early shift is less likely to wake you across a 150cm-wide bed.
- Length taller sleepers will feel: At 200cm, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, a genuine difference for anyone approaching six foot.
- A boxed king is easier to move in: A flat king mattress is awkward on a landing; this one arrives rolled, so tight staircases and doorways are far less of a problem.
- Standard bedding, no hunting: King sheets and a 230 x 220cm king duvet fit, both widely available on the high street.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and a double has started to feel cramped, especially if one of you is a restless sleeper or keeps different hours. It also makes sense if either partner is tall, since the extra length matters as much as the width, or if a dog has quietly claimed a corner of the bed and you want your space back.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is under our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m minimum, or you sleep alone and the width would go unused. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs a room of at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Is the Silentnight Studio Eco Pocket 1000 king good for couples?
It's a sensible fit. The UK king gives 75cm each for two people sharing, and the pocket spring construction means each spring moves independently, so one partner turning over or getting up early transfers less movement across the bed. If you're currently disturbing each other on a double, the extra width alone will help.
What room size do I need for the Silentnight Studio Eco Pocket 1000 in a UK king?
We suggest a bedroom of at least 2.7m x 2.9m, which leaves enough clearance to walk around the bed and open drawers. In a new build master bedroom, measure after accounting for wardrobes, as fitted furniture can shrink the usable floor space more than you'd expect.
How big is the Silentnight Studio Eco Pocket 1000 in a king size?
The UK king measures 150 x 200cm, which is 5ft x 6ft 6in. That makes it 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double, so it takes standard UK king sheets and a 230 x 220cm king duvet.
Will a king size boxed mattress fit up a narrow staircase?
This is where the boxed format helps most. The mattress arrives compressed and rolled, so you're carrying a box rather than manoeuvring a 150cm-wide mattress around banisters and door frames. Once it's in the bedroom, unroll it and give it time to expand fully before sleeping on it.
Is the king worth it over the double for a tall sleeper?
For anyone approaching six foot, yes. The UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double as well as 15cm wider, so your feet stop meeting the end of the bed. If length is your main complaint rather than width, the king is the smallest standard UK size that solves it.
