Key benefits
- More room each: You get 75cm each rather than the 67.5cm a UK double allows, which means an extra 7.5cm per person between you and your partner every night.
- Extra length for taller sleepers: The UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, so a partner over six foot is far less likely to have their feet hanging off the end.
- Fewer knock-on wake-ups: If one of you gets up hours before the other, the extra width gives a little more distance from their movement as they get out of bed.
- Space to prop and shift: During pregnancy and the months after, the UK king leaves you room for a support pillow without pushing your partner towards the edge.
- Room guidance you can plan around: We suggest a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with 3.2m x 3.2m more comfortable, so measure before you order.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and have outgrown a UK double, or one of you is over six foot and needs the extra length. It also suits you if you keep different hours and want a bit more distance when one of you gets up early.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m once the wardrobes are in. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
Is the Dorchester Pocket 5000 UK king wide enough for a couple who disturb each other?
It gives you 75cm each, compared with 67.5cm on the UK double, so you both have an extra 7.5cm of space. That won't stop every movement reaching you, but a restless partner is slightly further away. If you still want more room, the UK super king gives you 90cm each.
Is the UK king Dorchester Pocket 5000 long enough if you're over 6ft?
The UK king is 200cm long, which is 6ft 6in. That's 10cm more than the UK double, and many taller sleepers notice it straight away. Your feet are less likely to reach the end. The UK super king is the same length, so going bigger than the UK king won't gain you any more length.
Will a Dorchester Pocket 5000 in a UK king fit a new build master bedroom?
New build bedrooms often feel smaller once the wardrobes and bedside tables are in. We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, with 3.2m x 3.2m comfortable. Measure the floor space you'll really have left, not the room as it looks on the plan.
Dorchester Pocket 5000 UK king or UK super king for two people?
The UK super king is 30cm wider and gives you 90cm each, which is 15cm more per person than the UK king. It needs at least 3m x 2.9m, though. If your room can't take that, the UK king is the sensible middle step up from the UK double.
Is a UK king Dorchester Pocket 5000 a good choice if the dog sleeps on the bed?
If the dog sleeps between you most nights, the UK king's 15cm of extra width over the UK double gives everyone a little more space. A larger dog can still take more than its share, though. If that happens every night, the UK super king's 90cm each may suit you better, room permitting.
