Layer Details
- More room each: You each get 75cm of width, which means 7.5cm more per person than on the UK double, enough to stop drifting into each other's half.
- Less felt movement: Pocket springs compress individually, so on a UK king an early riser can slip out while the other partner is a little less likely to be woken.
- Length for taller sleepers: At 200cm the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, which gives a partner over six foot somewhere to put their feet.
- A realistic room fit: We suggest allowing at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with 3.2m x 3.2m comfortable, so the UK king fits many master bedrooms that couldn't take a super king.
- Standard UK dimensions: Measuring 5ft x 6ft 6in, the mattress matches standard UK king frames, so you're unlikely to need a special bed base.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and keep waking when your partner turns over or gets up hours before you, or one of you is tall enough that a UK double feels short at the foot end.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m once wardrobes and drawers are in. We'd recommend the UK double instead, for which we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Is the Spring King Wool Ortho Pocket UK king long enough for someone over 6ft?
The UK king is 200cm long, which is 10cm longer than the UK double. If one of you is over six foot, that extra length is often the bigger change than the width, giving room to stretch out without your feet pressing against the footboard.
Will I feel my partner getting up on the Spring King Wool Ortho Pocket UK king?
Pocket springs work independently, so movement travels less across the bed. In a UK king you also each get 75cm, compared with 67.5cm on the UK double, so there's a little more distance between you when one partner leaves early or comes to bed late.
Spring King Wool Ortho Pocket UK king or super king for a couple?
The UK super king gives 90cm each, so the UK king gives 15cm less each. The UK super king needs more floor space, though: we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m, against 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king. If your room is tight, the UK king is the practical choice.
Will a UK king mattress fit a new build master bedroom?
New build bedrooms can feel smaller once fitted wardrobes and bedside tables go in, so measure the clear floor rather than the room. We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, with 3.2m x 3.2m giving comfortable space to walk around both sides.
