- More room each: At 75cm per sleeper against 67.5cm on the UK double, you gain a little buffer between you, which means elbows and knees meet less often.
- Quieter nights for early risers: If one of you gets up hours before the other, independent springs plus the wider surface mean the person still asleep feels less of the exit.
- Extra length for taller partners: The UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, so a tall sleeper's feet are less likely to hang off the end.
- Space without super king demands: You get a proper upgrade on the UK double while needing less floor than the UK super king, which we suggest allowing at least 3m x 2.9m for.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and keep bumping into each other on a UK double, your working hours rarely line up so one of you is always climbing in or out, or one of you is tall enough that the extra length matters more than the width.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m once wardrobes and bedside tables are in. We'd recommend the UK double instead, for which we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

Is the Connaught Pocket 1000 UK king long enough for a tall partner?
The UK king is 200cm long, which is 10cm longer than the UK double. For a tall sleeper, that extra length is often the real reason to upgrade, because it gives feet and pillows more room without either of you drifting towards the edge. The UK super king is the same length, so going bigger adds width only.
How much space does each person get on a Connaught Pocket 1000 UK king?
Sharing a UK king gives you 75cm each. On the UK double, that drops to 67.5cm each, so the UK king gives you 7.5cm more per person. It sounds small on paper, but on a pocket sprung mattress it is the gap that stops one of you rolling into the other's side.
Will a UK king Connaught Pocket 1000 reduce partner disturbance?
It should help on two fronts. Pocket springs move independently, so a partner shifting in the night shouldn't jolt your side as much. The UK king then adds 7.5cm of width each compared with the UK double, putting a little more distance between you. If you share with a restless sleeper, the combination is sensible.
Should I choose the Connaught Pocket 1000 in a UK king or UK super king?
The UK super king gives 90cm each, so the UK king gives 15cm less per person. If a dog or child regularly joins you, the UK super king may be worth it, but we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for it. For most couples the UK king is enough room without dominating the bedroom.
How much floor space do I need for a Connaught Pocket 1000 UK king?
We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, with 3.2m x 3.2m feeling comfortable. New build master bedrooms can feel roomy until wardrobes go in, so measure with furniture in place. The mattress itself measures 150 x 200cm, or 5ft x 6ft 6in, before you add the bed frame.
