Layer Details
- Pillow top. The pillow top contains two micro spring layers and resilient fillings, which means a soft, cushioned surface feel when you first lie down. The fillings are designed to help reduce sagging, so that initial plushness should hold up over time.
- Pocket springs. Beneath the pillow top sits a double layer of six-coil steel springs, hand nested in calico pockets. Each spring moves independently, which means less motion transfer from a restless partner and support that follows the shape of your body.

- More room each: You each get 75cm of sleeping width, 7.5cm more per person than a UK double, which is enough to turn over without nudging your partner.
- Less disturbance from early risers: The calico-pocketed springs respond one by one, so a partner getting up hours before you should cause only a slight ripple across your side.
- Length for taller sleepers: At 200cm, or 6ft 6in, the UK king is 10cm longer than a UK double, which gives someone near six foot room for their feet.
- Two feels in one bed: Vispring offers split tension in the UK king, which means each of you can choose a different spring tension for your own half.
- Space to spread out: The extra width helps if one of you needs to arrange support pillows around your body, during pregnancy for example, without crowding the other person out.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and have started to feel cramped on a UK double, one of you gets up much earlier and you want less disruption, or a partner around six foot keeps running out of mattress.
Consider another size if...
Your bedroom is smaller than our suggested 2.7m x 2.9m, or you sleep alone and don't need the width. A mattress this deep in a room that tight will feel dominant rather than comfortable.

Can you get the Vispring Duchess Pillow Top in split tension in a UK king?
Yes. Vispring offers split tension on the UK king, so each half can have its own spring tension from the soft, medium and firm options. This helps most when you and your partner have noticeably different body weights or sleeping positions and one tension would suit only one of you.
How much space does each person get on a Vispring Duchess UK king?
Two people sharing get 75cm each. That is 7.5cm more per person than on a UK double. It doesn't sound like much, but it gives you room to turn over and lie without touching, especially with pocket springs that keep movement to your own side.
Is the Vispring Duchess Pillow Top UK king long enough if you're over 6ft?
The UK king is 200cm long, which is 6ft 6in, and 10cm longer than a UK double. For a partner around six foot, that gives room for your feet without them hanging off the end. The pillow top also sits deep, so there's no hard edge underfoot.
Will a Vispring Duchess UK king fit in my bedroom?
We suggest a room of at least 2.7m x 2.9m, with 3.2m x 3.2m giving comfortable space to walk around. Measure after the wardrobes are in, because new build master bedrooms often feel smaller once they are furnished. The mattress is 38cm deep, so it will look substantial on a base.
What sheets and duvet fit a Vispring Duchess UK king?
You'll need UK king sheets and a 230 x 220cm king duvet. The Duchess is 38cm deep, so look for deep fitted sheets made for tall mattresses; standard king fitted sheets may pop off at the corners. Check the pocket depth on the packaging before you buy.
