Layer Details
- Cover. A micro-quilted knitted Soft as Silk fabric, which gives a gently padded surface feel straight away. The quilting adds a touch of softness before you reach the firmer layers beneath.
- Cushioning foam. A layer of high-grade Reflex foam sits under the cover, offering temperature-controlled pressure relief. In practice, that means cushioning at your shoulders and hips without the heat build-up some foams create.
- Support. Pocket springs form the core, with 1000 springs in the king size, each moving independently to follow your shape and limit motion transfer. DynamicEdge® active side support reinforces the edges, so the full sleep surface stays usable.

- More room each: At 75cm per person, you each get 7.5cm more than on a UK double, which means fewer elbows in the night and less quiet competition for the middle.
- Length for taller partners: The UK king is 200cm long, 10cm longer than a UK double, so a partner over six foot can stretch out without their feet reaching the end.
- Less disturbance on different schedules: The UK king carries 1000 independently moving pocket springs, so when one of you gets up hours before the other, most of the movement stays on their side.
- Usable right to the edge: DynamicEdge side support firms up the perimeter, which means the full 150cm width is sleepable rather than a narrower strip down the middle.
- Space to prop and shift: The extra width fits a pregnancy pillow or a wall of cushions, although the firm feel may press a little at the hips if you mainly sleep on your side.
This size suits you if...
You share a UK double and keep waking each other, one of you is tall enough that 190cm feels short, and your bedroom can take our suggested minimum of 2.7m x 2.9m with space to walk round.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of 2.7m x 2.9m once wardrobes and drawers are in. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

How many springs are in the Sleep Story Luxury Firm UK king?
The UK king has 1000 pocket springs. Each one moves on its own, which helps the mattress follow two different body shapes across the 150cm width and keeps one partner's movement from travelling far across the bed.
Will I feel my partner move on the Sleep Story Luxury Firm king size?
You should feel less than on a smaller bed. The UK king gives you 75cm each, so there is more distance between you, and the independent springs limit how far movement spreads. If one of you starts work hours earlier, that combination helps the other stay asleep.
Is the Sleep Story Luxury Firm UK king long enough for someone over 6ft?
At 200cm (6ft 6in), the UK king is 10cm longer than a UK double, and that extra length is often the real reason tall sleepers upgrade. If you currently wake with your feet at the end of the mattress, this length gives you more room.
Should I get the Sleep Story Luxury Firm in a UK king or a UK super king?
The UK super king gives 90cm each, 15cm more per person than the UK king, but it needs a room of at least 3m x 2.9m. If your room is tighter than that, or you want space around the bed for bedside tables, the UK king is the more practical choice.
How much more space does the Sleep Story Luxury Firm king give over a double?
The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double. Shared between two, that works out at 7.5cm more each. On a firm mattress like this one, where you tend to lie on top rather than sink in, that extra room can make a noticeable difference to how settled you both feel.
