Layer Details
- Cover. A chemical-free polyester and viscose cover. Viscose is a soft, breathable fibre, so the sleep surface feels smooth rather than synthetic.
- Fillings. All-natural, chemical-free cotton and Hampshire wool fillings. Wool regulates temperature naturally, which means it helps keep you warm in winter and cooler in summer.
- Springs. 1,000 individually pocketed springs in the king size. Each spring moves on its own, so the mattress responds to your shape and limits motion transfer across the bed.
- Border. A ventilated border with two rows of stitching for edge support. The ventilation helps air move through the mattress, and the stitching firms up the sides so the edge doesn't sag when you sit on it.

- More room each than a UK double: You each get 75cm of width, which is 7.5cm more per person than a UK double, enough to stop an outstretched arm landing on your partner.
- Extra length for taller sleepers: The UK king runs to 200cm, 10cm longer than a UK double, which means feet stay on the mattress rather than hanging over the end.
- 1,000 springs in this size: The UK king uses 1,000 individually pocketed springs, so each side responds to its own sleeper and one person turning over is less likely to jolt the other.
- A firm edge for getting up: The double-stitched border firms up the sides, which helps if one of you is recovering from an injury and needs a steady edge to push up from.
- Wool that suits two warm bodies: Two people generate a fair bit of heat, and the wool fillings help regulate temperature, so the bed is less likely to feel stuffy by the early hours.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and one of you gets up hours before the other, so you want space and independent springs that keep an early alarm from waking your partner. It also suits you if one of you is around six foot and your feet are already pressed against the end of a UK double.
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.

How many springs are in the Boutique Ortho UK king?
The UK king has 1,000 individually pocketed springs. The Handmade Bed Company doesn't publish spring counts for the other sizes, so check the brand's own guidance if you're comparing. In the UK king, each spring moves on its own, which helps keep one sleeper's movement from travelling across to the other side.
Is the Boutique Ortho UK king long enough if you're over 6ft?
At 200cm, or 6ft 6in, the UK king gives taller sleepers a comfortable margin, and it is 10cm longer than the UK double. If you've been sleeping with your feet near the end of a UK double, the extra length may make more difference to you than the extra width.
Will I feel my partner moving on a UK king Boutique Ortho?
Less than on a smaller bed. You each have 75cm of width, and the pocketed springs respond individually, so someone getting up early or turning over is less likely to disturb you. Because it's firm, a little movement can still carry, but the extra space puts more distance between you.
Boutique Ortho UK king or UK super king for a couple?
The UK super king gives 90cm each, 15cm more per person than the UK king, and the two are the same length. It needs at least 3m x 2.9m, compared with 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king. If a dog shares the bed most nights, the UK super king may be worth the extra floor space.
Is it worth upgrading from a UK double to the Boutique Ortho in a UK king?
For most couples, yes. The UK king is 15cm wider and 10cm longer than the UK double, which works out at 7.5cm more each. It needs slightly more floor space, with at least 2.7m x 2.9m against 2.6m x 2.8m, so measure the room with your bedside tables in place first.
