Layer Details
Coir
A layer of coir, a natural coconut fibre, forms part of the filling composition. It adds resilience and helps air move through the mattress.
Platinum certified British fleece wool
British fleece wool, Platinum certified, is layered around the springs. Wool wicks moisture and regulates temperature, which means a drier, more comfortable sleeping surface through the night.
Cotton
Cotton is layered around the springs alongside the wool. It is soft and breathable, softening the feel of the firm springs beneath.
Vanadium pocket springs
The king size contains 1,254 vanadium steel, six turn pocket springs, each in its own calico pocket. Individual pockets mean the springs move independently, so you feel less of your partner's movement and get support shaped to your body.

Key benefits
- More room each than a double: You each get 75cm of width, which is 7.5cm more per person than a UK double, enough to stop elbows meeting when one of you turns over.
- Length for taller partners: At 200cm, or 6ft 6in, the UK king is 10cm longer than a UK double, so a partner over six foot is less likely to have feet hanging off the end.
- The spring count is specific to this size: The UK king holds 1,254 vanadium pocket springs, each moving on its own, which means an early riser can get up without jolting the person still asleep.
- Space without a super king's demands: We suggest at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, a slightly more modest footprint than the UK super king needs, which helps in a smaller new build master bedroom.
- Firm support across a wider bed: The Firm tension gives springy, even support right across the width, so heavier sleepers and back sleepers on either side get the same feel.
This size suits you if...
You share the bed every night and have started to feel crowded on a double, one of you is over six foot and wants the extra length, or your working hours differ and you want less disturbance when one of you gets up long before the other.
Consider another size if...
You and your partner still feel cramped at 75cm each, or a dog regularly claims part of the bed. The UK super king would suit you better, giving 90cm each; we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for it.

FAQ's
How many springs are in the Vispring Elite Firm UK king?
The UK king contains 1,254 vanadium steel, six turn pocket springs, each sewn into its own calico pocket. Because they move independently, the springs respond to each partner's body separately, which helps limit how much one person's movement is felt on the other side.
How much space do couples get on a Vispring Elite Firm king size?
Each of you gets 75cm of width on the UK king. That is 7.5cm more each than a UK double would give, and 15cm less each than the UK super king. For most couples moving up from a double, the extra room is noticeable from the first night.
What size bedroom do I need for the Vispring Elite Firm UK king?
We suggest allowing at least 2.7m x 2.9m for a UK king, measured once wardrobes and drawers are in place. New build master bedrooms can feel smaller than the plans suggest, so check the space around the bed frame, and at the foot of it, before ordering.
Vispring Elite Firm king or super king for a restless partner?
The UK king gives 75cm each and the pocket springs already reduce movement transfer. If one of you is a very restless sleeper, or you keep different hours and still wake each other, the UK super king adds 15cm each, though we suggest at least 3m x 2.9m for it.
Is a Vispring Elite Firm king size worth it over a double for tall couples?
A UK double isn't made in this mattress, but compared with a double from elsewhere, the UK king is 10cm longer at 200cm and 15cm wider. If one of you is over six foot, that length is often the bigger improvement, with the extra width as a welcome addition.
