Cover
A Smooth-Tech™ fabric cover sits on top. It gives a smooth, even sleep surface against your sheets.
Fillings
English cotton and Hampshire wool fillings, which means the mattress breathes naturally and wicks moisture away as you sleep. These natural materials are durable and sustainable too.
Spring system
1000 pocket springs in the king size, arranged in 7 zones that mirror your body shape. Each spring moves independently, so you feel targeted support rather than a flat, uniform push-back.
Support system
A double steel-framed support system reinforces the edges of the mattress. That maximises the usable sleep area, useful if you share the bed or tend to drift towards the side.

Key benefits
- More space each: At 75cm each for two people sharing, you get 7.5cm more personal room than a UK double offers, which means far fewer elbows and knees in the small hours.
- Length for taller sleepers: The UK king measures 200cm (6ft 6in), 10cm longer than a UK double, so a partner over six foot can stretch out properly instead of sleeping slightly curled.
- Less disturbance from an early riser: The 1000 pocket springs in the UK king move independently, which means a partner leaving for a dawn shift should send less of a ripple across to your side.
- Edges you can use: A double steel-framed edge keeps the outer strip of the UK king firm underneath you, so the partner who sleeps near the side still gets their full share of the width.
- A realistic room check: We suggest allowing at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king, a sensible measurement to take in a new build main bedroom once fitted wardrobes have eaten into the floor.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and keep drifting into each other's space, one of you is over six foot and fed up with feet at the footboard, or you keep different hours and want the late sleeper left undisturbed when the other gets up.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom falls short of our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m, or you sleep alone. The UK small double would suit you better, and we suggest at least 2.4m x 2.8m for it.

FAQ's
Is the Village Inspire 1050 UK king long enough if you're over 6ft?
At 200cm, or 6ft 6in, the UK king is 10cm longer than a UK double, which gives most people over six foot room to lie straight with a pillow above them. If length is your main reason for upgrading, the UK king already gives you it: the UK super king is the same length, so sizing up again adds width only.
Will I feel my partner moving on a UK king Village Inspire 1050?
You should feel less than on a narrower bed. Each of you has 75cm, and the 1000 pocket springs in the UK king respond individually, so movement tends to stay near where it happens. A firm, springy surface can still pass on a little bounce when someone climbs in heavily, so very light sleepers may notice some movement.
Village Inspire 1050 UK king or UK super king for a couple?
The UK king gives 75cm each, while the UK super king gives 90cm each, so the UK king gives 15cm less each. Both are the same length. If one of you sprawls or a dog routinely joins you, the UK super king is the roomier choice, although we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for it.
Will the Village Inspire 1050 king size fit a new build bedroom?
Measure before you order. We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, and a new build main bedroom can come up short once built-in wardrobes and a radiator are accounted for. Remember the 28cm depth plus your bed frame, which affects how high the bed sits beside furniture and window sills.
Is upgrading from a double to the Village Inspire 1050 in a UK king worth it?
For most couples, yes. You gain 15cm of width and 10cm of length over a UK double, which works out as 7.5cm more space each. The Village Inspire 1050 isn't made in a UK double, so if you want this mattress for two, the UK king is the smallest size that gives each of you proper room.
