- More room each than a double: Compared with a UK double, you each gain 7.5cm of width, which means a stray elbow or bent knee is less likely to end up on your partner.
- Length for taller sleepers: At 200cm long, the UK king is 10cm longer than a UK double, so a partner over six foot is less likely to have their feet hanging off the end.
- A little more distance on early starts: If one of you gets up hours before the other, the extra width puts slightly more space between the sleeper and the person getting out of bed in the dark.
- Space for support pillows: In pregnancy, 75cm each leaves room for a bump or knee pillow, although lighter side sleepers may find this firm mattress a little hard at the hip.
- Less floor than a super king: We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for the UK king, against at least 3m x 2.9m for the UK super king.
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 a 190cm mattress leaves your feet at the edge, and you both like a firm feel with a softer surface on top.
Consider another size if...
You prefer a soft or medium feel, or your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m. Vispring currently lists this mattress in a UK king only.

Is the Vispring Countess Pillow Top UK king big enough for two people?
For most couples, yes. A UK king gives you 75cm each, which is 7.5cm more each than the 67.5cm you get on a UK double. If you both sprawl, a UK super king would give you 90cm each, but Vispring does not currently list the Countess Pillow Top in that size.
Is a UK king Vispring Countess long enough if you're over 6ft?
At 200cm, or 6ft 6in, the UK king is 10cm longer than a UK double. For a partner over six foot, that extra length is often the bigger improvement, because it stops your feet pressing against the footboard or hanging over the end.
Will a UK king Vispring Countess fit in a new build master bedroom?
Measure after the wardrobes are fitted, because many new build master bedrooms feel smaller once furniture is in. We suggest a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, and 3.2m x 3.2m if you want comfortable space to walk around both sides of the bed.
Is a UK king Vispring Countess big enough with a dog on the bed?
It helps. A dog that curls up in the middle takes less of your 75cm each on a UK king than it would on a UK double. A large dog that stretches out will still take some of your space, so picture your own dog lying across 150cm before you decide.
Do I need extra deep king size fitted sheets for the Vispring Countess?
Very likely. The mattress is 33cm deep, which is taller than many, so standard king fitted sheets may not tuck under properly. Look for sheets made for a 150 x 200cm mattress, and check that the pocket depth on the packaging covers 33cm.
