Layer Details
- Room each without the super king footprint: Each sleeper gets 75cm of width, which means 7.5cm more each than a UK double, so elbows and knees meet less often in the night.
- Length for taller partners: At 200cm long, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, which means feet are less likely to hang over the end if one of you is over six foot.
- Less disturbance on different schedules: If one of you is up hours before the other, the extra width gives a little more distance from the person getting out of bed.
- Space to shift around: During pregnancy and the months after, the UK king leaves room for a propping pillow without pushing your partner towards the edge.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and have started to feel cramped on a UK double, one of you is over six foot and needs the extra length, or your working hours differ and you want a little more space between you.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m once wardrobes are in. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which we suggest for rooms of at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

How much space does each person get on a Sleepeezee Shetland Ortho Comfort UK king?
Two people sharing get 75cm each. On a UK double that figure is 67.5cm, so the UK king gives you 7.5cm more each. It sounds small, but it is the difference between brushing against your partner when you turn over and having a clear strip of mattress to yourself.
Is the UK king Shetland Ortho Comfort long enough if I'm over six foot?
The UK king is 200cm long, or 6ft 6in, which is 10cm longer than the UK double. If you are over six foot, that extra length is often the real reason to upgrade. Very tall sleepers who stretch out fully may still want to measure themselves against the 200cm length before buying.
Should I choose the Shetland Ortho Comfort in UK king or UK super king?
The UK super king is 30cm wider and the same length, giving 90cm each, so the UK king gives you 15cm less each. The trade-off is room size: we suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king and 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king.
Will a Sleepeezee Shetland Ortho Comfort UK king fit in a new build master bedroom?
New build master bedrooms often feel smaller once fitted wardrobes and bedside tables go in. Allow at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, with 3.2m x 3.2m giving comfortable space to walk round. Measure with the wardrobe doors open, as a room that looks large on the floor plan can lose a lot of usable space.
Does a UK king Shetland Ortho Comfort help with partner disturbance?
The UK king's 75cm each puts more distance between you than a UK double does, which helps if one of you gets up early or moves a lot. How much movement travels across the surface depends on the mattress construction, and detail on that is limited for this model, so check the retailer's listing.
