Layer Details
- Tencel cover. A high-loft, micro-quilted Tencel cover designed to remove moisture, which means a drier, more comfortable surface if you tend to sleep warm. It's also gentle enough not to irritate sensitive skin.
- Memory foam layer 1. The first of two high-performance premium memory foam layers. This is where the contouring happens, moulding to your shape and easing pressure at the hips and shoulders.
- Memory foam layer 2. A second premium memory foam layer that deepens the cushioning before you reach the springs. It helps the mattress feel plush rather than abrupt as you settle in.
- Pocket springs. 1000 pocket springs in the king size provide the supportive core. Because each spring moves independently, you get support where you need it and slightly less disturbance from a partner turning over.

- More width each: At 75cm each for two sharing, you get 7.5cm more personal space than the UK double, which means less edging towards the side to avoid an elbow.
- Length for taller partners: The UK king is 200cm long, 10cm more than the UK double, which means a taller partner can stretch out without their feet meeting the end.
- Quieter nights on different schedules: The UK king uses 1000 independently moving pocket springs under two memory foam layers, so one of you getting up early should disturb the other slightly less.
- Space without super king demands: We suggest allowing at least 2.7m x 2.9m, which is less floor than the UK super king needs and suits many master bedrooms once wardrobes are in.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and a double has started to feel cramped, one of you is tall enough to find a 190cm mattress short, or a partner's early starts keep waking you.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is under our suggested minimum of 2.7m x 2.9m. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

How many springs are in the Sleep Story Memory Luxe UK king?
The listed specification gives 1000 pocket springs for the UK king. Each spring moves on its own, which means support follows the shape of each sleeper and a partner turning over should be felt a little less. The two memory foam layers above the springs add cushioning before you reach that core.
Is the Sleep Story Memory Luxe UK king long enough for tall people?
At 200cm, or 6ft 6in, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double. If length is the main reason you're upgrading, that extra 10cm matters more than the width, and the UK super king adds no further length.
Will I feel my partner move on the Memory Luxe king size?
You should feel less than on a smaller size. You each get 75cm of width, and the memory foam absorbs some movement while the independent springs limit how far it spreads. Some motion will still reach you if your partner is restless, so expect less disturbance rather than none.
Should I get the Memory Luxe in a UK king or a UK super king?
The UK king gives 15cm less width each than the UK super king, which offers 90cm per person, while both are the same length. We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king, so choose it only if your room allows and 75cm each still feels tight.
Is a UK king Memory Luxe good during pregnancy?
The width helps. With 75cm each, there's room for a pregnancy pillow or extra pillows propped around you without pushing your partner towards the edge. The medium feel and memory foam ease pressure at hips and shoulders for side sleeping, although a very firm feel isn't on offer here.
