Layer Details
Pocket springs
Individually wrapped steel springs, 267 per square metre, that compress independently under your body. This gives more precise support than connected coils and helps limit motion transfer between partners.
Standard foam
A polyurethane foam layer at 33 kg/m3 density sits above the springs to soften the feel. It cushions pressure points at the shoulders and hips without adding much sink.
Stiff felt
A firm felt layer that protects the foam from the spring unit. It keeps the comfort layer from working its way into the coils, which helps the mattress last.

Key benefits
- More space each: You each get 7.5cm more width than on a UK double, which means fewer elbows at 2am and more room to turn over without waking anyone.
- Extra length for tall sleepers: At 200cm long, the UK king is 10cm longer than the UK double, so a partner over six foot is less likely to have their feet hanging off the end.
- Less disturbance from early risers: The 267 springs per square metre move independently, and with 75cm each, a partner leaving hours before you is less likely to jolt you awake.
- A slim profile on a wide bed: The 20cm depth keeps a UK king from looking bulky, although you may want to check your bed frame suits a thinner mattress.
- Comfort layer that should hold up: The 33 kg/m3 foam is a respectable density at this level, which matters on a UK king where both sides get nightly use.
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 keeps running out of length. It also suits couples on different schedules who want enough space that one person getting up early doesn't wake the other.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested minimum of 2.7m x 2.9m. We'd recommend the UK double instead, for which we suggest at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
Is the Ikea Vesteroy UK king long enough for someone over 6ft?
The UK king is 200cm long (6ft 6in), which is 10cm longer than the UK double. For a partner over six foot, that extra length often matters more than the extra width, because it gives room for your feet and pillow without having to lie at an angle.
How much more room does the Ikea Vesteroy king give than the double?
The UK king is 15cm wider than the UK double and 10cm longer. For two people sharing, the UK double gives 67.5cm each, while the UK king gives 75cm each, so you each gain 7.5cm. It sounds small on paper, but you'll notice it every night.
Will I feel my partner getting up on the Ikea Vesteroy UK king?
The pocket springs move individually, which helps limit movement crossing the bed. On a UK king you also have 75cm each, so there's a little more distance between you. If one of you leaves hours before the other, you should feel less disturbance than on a UK double, although a slim foam-over-springs build won't absorb every movement.
What size bedroom do I need for an Ikea Vesteroy UK king?
We suggest allowing at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king. New build master bedrooms can feel tighter than their floor plans suggest once wardrobes go in, so measure with the doors open. If your room falls short, the UK double needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m by our guidance.
Is a UK king Vesteroy big enough for two adults and a dog?
At 75cm each, a UK king gives two adults reasonable room, but a dog that sleeps on the bed every night will eat into that space. If your dog tends to take more than its share, the medium firm feel and slim depth won't change much, so decide based on how much width you can spare.
