Layer Details
Spring layer
Hand-nested calico pocket springs, 1476 of them in the 150 x 200cm size, each sewn into its own calico pocket. This means the springs move independently, so you feel support where you need it and less disturbance from a partner shifting about.
Upholstery
Exclusively natural fillings: a British fleece wool spring protector pad, bonded British fleece wool and cotton, horsehair, and blended British fleece wool and cotton. Wool and horsehair breathe and wick moisture, which means a cooler, drier sleep than most foam-heavy mattresses can manage.
Ticking and finishing
Finest quality ticking, hand tufted with felt washers. Tufting holds the fillings firmly in place, so the mattress keeps its shape rather than shifting and lumping over the years.
Borders
Borders upholstered with protective wool, finished with two rows of hand side-stitching, horizontal handles and air vents. The side-stitching links the border to the springs, giving you firm edge support, while the vents let air move through the natural fillings.

Key benefits
- Room to settle on your own side: At 75cm each for two people sharing, you gain 7.5cm apiece over a UK double, which means fewer elbows and less negotiating over the middle.
- Length for a taller sleeper: The UK king is 200cm long, 10cm longer than a UK double, so anyone around six foot can stretch out without their feet hanging off the end.
- Quieter nights on different schedules: In the UK king each of 1476 hand-nested springs sits in its own pocket, so an early riser climbing out should barely register on the other side.
- Edges you can use: The two rows of hand side-stitching keep the borders supportive, which matters on a UK king because each of you will spend more nights near the edge.
- Firm support across a wide surface: This is the Firm tension, so heavier sleepers and back sleepers get consistent support across the full 5ft x 6ft 6in, without a soft dip opening in the middle.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and a UK double has started to feel cramped, one of you is tall enough that length matters as much as width, or your working hours differ and you want to get up without waking your partner.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m. We'd recommend the UK double instead, which needs at least 2.6m x 2.8m.

FAQ's
How many springs are in the Vispring Bedstead Supreme UK king?
Vispring lists 1476 hand-nested calico pocket springs in the 150 x 200cm UK king. Each spring is sewn into its own pocket, which means it responds to your body on its own rather than dragging its neighbours down with it.
Is a Vispring king size mattress long enough if you're over 6ft?
The UK king is 200cm long, or 6ft 6in, which is 10cm longer than a UK double. If one of you is around six foot, that extra length is often a bigger improvement than the width, since your feet stay on the mattress when you stretch out.
Will I feel my partner move on a UK king Vispring Bedstead Supreme?
Probably a little less than you do now. The UK king gives you 75cm each, and the pocket springs move independently, so a partner turning over or getting up early should cause less movement on your side. A firm tension spring unit is more buoyant than foam, though, so you may still notice some motion.
Should I get the Vispring Bedstead Supreme in a UK king or UK super king?
The UK super king gives 90cm each, 15cm more per person than the UK king, at the same length. We suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for a UK super king against 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, so your room size may settle it.
What size bedstead do I need for a Vispring UK king mattress?
You need a bedstead built for a UK king, 150 x 200cm or 5ft x 6ft 6in. A frame sold as a king in another country can measure differently, so check the internal dimensions before you buy. You can compare the retailers listed on this page for the mattress itself.
